I'm still wondering if my night guard was a cash grab by my dentist. My eye teeth were worn flat and my old sister also had grinding issues when she was a teenager. But still, so many people have night guards nowadays, it just makes you wonder.

I'm not a fan of Teavana and was surprised to see it recommended. I went in there once and had to deal with extremely high-pressure sales tactics. The sales lady insisted I needed to buy a 16oz tin of tea (@$103) because I would run out of tea in two weeks and it was the better deal. At that rate, I would have had to…

Income-based apartment in a small farm town outside of Ann Arbor, MI.

Morgantown, WV
$685/mo 2BR, 1BA
Not a bad price but nestled between a stripclub, a gunclub, and a train depot.

Yup, this is what I do. I put a few outfits in the largest suitcase and make sure there's everything I need for a stay (including toilet paper and towels). You won't lose track of your suitcase as easily as you'll lose track of a random box.

The note didn't specify which food was stolen (and we did have a habitual food thief). My pockets did disappear later that week. I met a passive aggressive note with a passive aggressive olive branch. I could just be reading into the situation. Maybe the person I stole the pockets from never even noticed they were…

I brought in a box of hot pockets once. They were chicken, cheese and broccoli. I put the box in the freezer. Lunchtime came around and I took out a pocket, stuck it in the microwave, and had it for lunch.

We decided early on in our relationship to keep everything separate. My husband at the time was very meticulous about his spending and income and I didn't want to have to deal with weekly arguments about expenditures. We divvied up the house expenses to approximately equal portions and are both responsible for our own…

I thought it might be referring to the grinding of coffee beans. I have no idea and I was hoping someone might clarify.

Having been raised by a narcissist parent, I didn't even realize I was depressed my whole life—yet alone that I had low self esteem (being told you're stupid your whole life will do that to the brightest child). The mere thought of having a positive mantra just seems to fucking ludicrous to me. I couldn't even…

Being an introvert that likes to talk about meeting up and the idea of meeting up, but never actually wants to meet up, I'm going to have to ignore so many events.

This is exactly what I need. I lose most of my productivity when I'm either switching applications or waiting for the program I'm using to finish doing something.

I worked for three years in a ROWE environment. It was fantastic. You still had to be there for core hours (for meetings & such) but it was otherwise focused on results and no hand holding. A Megacorp bought out that company and did layoffs, so I had to take the first job opportunity that came up. It was at a…

100 minutes/100 sms/ 500mb data here with two lines. The only way I could get Ting to show up was by NOT choosing a phone option. We pay between 30-50 a month with Ting.

Western PA is full of these drivers. At a weaving lane, I almost slammed into the car in front of me on the highway as the car in the merging lane slowed down to wait to merge. Both, the car trying to exit the highway and the car trying to merge onto the highway came to a complete stop. There were not enough curse…

God, yes on the small opening.

I love Matt & Nat bags. They are gorgeous, really well made, and I never have to battle with the zipper at the counter. They also usually have a pretty interior and are mostly made of vegan and recycled materials.

We've attempted a joint account for savings (house, home improvements, emergencies), but it was just too much hassle. It's easier to just agree to try to save X amount for a rainy day.

I think you might be splitting hairs a bit. I buy groceries when I have time and he buys groceries when he has time. Just because we split our bank accounts does not mean we aren't on the same team. It's not a roommate situation. We don't have separate shelves in the kitchen for our own groceries. It's more like, I…

I agree. I make significantly more money than my husband, but that's not why we have separate accounts. When we were dating he was a penny pincher and frequently spastic about his funds. Even though I'm quite responsible with my earnings, I could foresee many arguments with him about money in the future if we had…
