This won’t work for everyone, but I trained myself out of the snooze in college and my early 20s using the following methods (some of which are recommended above):

“...Convince your partner to force you to wake up in the morning.”  This sounds like a one way ticket to major conflict and/or a break up.

My experience is that usually children are the most likely to announce that they need to poop, usually at the worst time too.

I thought I was the only one. I think I bought the wrench originally for pipes and such, but it soon found use in the kitchen, and never left. That was 20 years ago, and it’s still the best tool for the job!

Rubber strap wrench for the win!!! People are amazed at work how these things solve problems. They seem expensive for something made out of plastic and rubber, but it’ll pay for itself soon-enough!

Also WD-40 is not a grease or lubricant. WD stands for Water Displacer. It’s more of a solvent or degreaser. I don’t know where you live but here in the Midwest every six months is overkill. If you want a quieter garage opener, I suggest buying a belt drive over a chain drive. It’s much quieter.

I forgot these were a thing. There’s one sitting on my coworker’s desk. No one uses our Keureg. I prefer my electric kettle and pour over.

Normally a subpoena can’t make you appear on the other side of the state or country. Generally there are rules about where and when you can be made to show up - often it’s within a certain distance from your home. And yes, it’s shitty that in many places you don’t get paid for the inconvenience.

Honestly just get a real estate agent - tell them all your real preferences, if you’re “in a hurry”, how you feel about a house’s decor, etc. They’re trained professionals who know how to work with all of that while still working to get you the best deal possible. Ideally, you won’t speak to the other party until the…

I always thought the love letters were the dumbest trend.  This is a business transaction.  Tell me you love it with cash. 

9yo’s are neat because they’re still innocent but are getting savvy enough to understand the things that make you laugh too. As the proud owner of an almost 9yo I’d say: knock knock jokes, weird animal, nature, or history trivia, talking about (or listening to them talk incessantly about) Minecraft, Super Mario or…

I have seen some books in LFL stamped with a message something like “Not for resale. Little Free Library” on the edges of books.

Thank you for not making this a slideshow.

In this case it doesn’t sound like it was in there to start with, it was probably some organic compound that degraded under heat or reacted with the contents of the can.

Has anyone actually had their kids ask about this?
