For things that need to go on every trip and don’t expire, I have a pre-packed travel bag. First aid kit, certain cosmetics, toothpaste, toothbrush (replaced each trip), duplicate grooming items (e.g. hair ties, hair brush), feminine hygiene products, sample sizes of shampoo, lotion, perfume, sunscreen, etc. That way…

If you’re flying, & your destination is first-world (= Walgreens every 50 feet), it can really be easier to just plan on buying things when you get there— lugging liquids/gels/etc around is such a hassle with TSA. Only pack the things you either can’t operate without, or can’t get at Walgreens.

This is what I have found works for me:

We pay for a cleaner to come once a month and do a five hour (2.5 hour *2 cleaners) whole house cleansing. They do a great job of getting all of the little nooks and crannies that we seem to miss. On top of that, it encourages us to pick up all of the little junk piles that we tend to leave lying around, so we know…

I’m a simple man. I see Excel, I Star.

Yeah, I never understood using the stick on wait staff... they are alone with your food; use the carrot instead.

Downloaded the “Baby Driver” soundtrack last Wednesday after seeing that wonderful film and have been enjoying it all week!

I would suggest one other option - audiobooks. If you spend more than 15 minutes driving to work in the morning, you’ll be amazed and how much reading you can do with that dead time. Plus it makes that time something you’ll actually look forward to!

Maybe because cheap Kindles can’t display 50 shades!

I just recently discovered this. And i was able to tell my mother after 35 odd years of her telling me I was just being difficult that this is an actual thing. Sure I’m extremely difficult but cilantro or coriander as we call it, tastes horrid to me.

Cilantro. Cilantro on anything Mexican or Asian. One of the ultimate acquired tastes, but dear God does it elevate.

I’ve certainly made some mistakes that could be detrimental and I definitely went straight to the boss about them and claimed responsibility and, if possible, fixed the problem. Since then, I’ve always told those that work for me to simply tell me immediately if they screw up something big so we can work to fix it…

Deaf,

Yet another reason to get a four-wheeled “spinner” suitcase instead. I finally got one of these a couple of years back and it was life altering!

As in our own system, rich people in the U.K. can afford “every treatment under the sun” to prolong their lives, but poor people get better care in the U.K. than in the U.S..

Keeping profit in healthcare is one of this world’s great evils.
