Yeah, "digest" the idea - not literally, you know, hyperbole.

Yes - this is the technique done right. Repeat in your own words so you have your own understanding and the other person knows you listened enough to digest it.

Star times 1000! I'm currently working with someone who does just that - wastes time during meetings to repeat EXACTLY what was just said. So annoying. It's like that tip "Use the other person's name during the conversation so they know you're 'engaged'" twaddle.

I recently flew British Airways (Toronto-London-Toronto) and it was a pair of the best flight's I've ever had. First was on a 747 (First time) and the leg room was excellent (The first thing I look for in a flight.), mostly quiet (Evening flight, sooo) and smooth. The second was on one of the new 787 Dreamliners, and…

MSG may not be the (un)silent killer but I've got a couple of friends who get the royal runs when they eat it - as my apt's bathroom would agree after we tried take-away from "a new place."

I've almost always managed to live within walking distance of work - but for me, walking distance is about 45min or less.

It's the minimal colour-set chosen to ensure no neighboring countries have the same one.

If it follows muscles, this guys gonna fry the thing's cpu.

He wore it better, just sayin'

That whooshing sound you hear is his thankfully ex g/f moving away from him as fast as possible. Good god I think she broke the speed of sound!

This is so very true. We speak of "moving through grief" and for me as well simple routine just helped keep me moving.

The thing is: the time needed to reach the point when the sharp edges soften and the memories of the one who passed bring comfort is a very very personal experience only the person grieving can determine. It can't be foisted on you like someone waiting for you to be ready to leave for a movie.

Someone to a quick sketch of her applying for a job at DC in the nuuuuuude.

I'd add a 6.5 - if you stop too quickly, that top pizza box is gonna rocket off the bottom one and onto the floor. Dampen a napkin or two (maybe the 'sweat' from that soda bottle) and put it between the boxes. Just enough friction to keep the top box (or boxes if you put it between each one) from slipping. Damp,…

It was never our policy as it puts the clerk in potential harms way. Think of it, a bank employee tells a minimum wage store employee to cut up a card in front of someone who potentially stole it and could go psycho?

Wow "4271" - Citibank Visa. Sweet

I worked for a bank for a number of years and there were a couple of conditions that could be 'activated' that would make our machines 'eat' cards: 3 wrong PINs (though it might have been 4th try doesn't work - it's been years), customer flagged as severely overdrawn and evades contact phone-calls and, of course,…

I'm not home but I'm thinking about 4500 songs + 2 doz audiobooks. So, yeah, I guess maybe the size of the library works for me. I also don't stream iTunes (as others seem to do) and I rarely if ever play within iTunes for me, it's a "make playlists, load them onto the device and get the heck out."

There's no real getting around this. Everyone has different experiences, but an awful lot of people have found that iTunes is so slow that it's just frustrating to use. The app takes awhile to start up (though this has improved in the latest version), editing metadata causes it to slow to a crawl, and syncing files to…
