LAX: Huevos Rancheros Pizza from California Pizza Kitchen.

100% agree with the splurge fund idea. It’s a lot easier to stick to a budget if there’s at least a little room for fun things built into it! It’s a lot more effective to have fun in moderation and still meet your goals, instead of an all-or-nothing approach that makes you miserable and leads you to crash and burn…

Seriously... how do people not realize, when they see other people’s public transactions in the feed, that it might also work in reverse?

I usually don’t get any money back from Savings Catcher, but having an electronic copy of the receipt is amazing for budgeting. No more holding on to paper receipts until I get the transaction categorized in the budget!

Then don’t use any of those rewards programs.

When you finish the Walmart Pay transaction, there are two buttons: “view receipt” and “submit to Savings Catcher.” If you forget to hit the Savings Catcher button right then, then the transaction still shows up in the history if you look in the Savings Catcher section, and you can submit it there (for up to seven…

“Sure, I have been depressed out something before, but it passed. Sure, I’ve been anxious about something before, but it too passed.”

So are the Lifehacker writers using this?

I just wish Shazam worked for me humming the song, for when a lyric-less song is stuck in my head but not actually playing

Try video game soundtracks and/or movie soundtracks. “The Greatest Video Game Music” album by the London Philharmonic is a good one, as is the “Epic Film Scores” station on Google Play music.

Pretty soon, your baby will turn into a mobile toddler—and good luck getting any work done then.

From what I’ve seen, it’s still ok to use a period at the end of a sentence in the middle of the text—just not at the end. The end of the message serves the same function as a period, ending the thought, so having a period in addition to it provides additional finality that makes you come across as angry.

I had never heard “off the reservation” used like that before. The one I do hear a lot is “off base”; is that similarly problematic?

...but only until October, if you live in Alaska, California, Idaho, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Virginia, or Washington.

Ugh, yes. The way it SHOULD be set up is that the question after “Yes” for Posessives should be “Is the thing you’re trying to make possessive a pronoun (such as you, it, him, her)?” Then “yes” can go to “no apostrophe (yours, its, his, hers)” and “no” can go to the rest of the flowchart for possession. Understanding…

(1) In place of a period when you have two complete thoughts that could stand alone—but only if they’re closely connected. “He likes pizza; I prefer pasta.”

But they are “The Powells” not “The Powell”. So it should be “The Powells’” with the apostrophe AFTER the S.

Combine #5 and #7: make each kid an account on Habitica.com and they’ll be eager to check off their list so they can level up their avatars and earn coins toward rewards.

In the article, they describe it as the adult equivalent of “you cut, I choose.” Basically, you have two connected decisions, and each of you gets ultimate power over one of them. The idea being that each person will be motivated to make their decision in a way that’s agreeable to both, so that the other person won’t…

They do TEACH it in the US, usually in math/science class; the problem is that we don’t USE it outside the classroom setting. :(
