Thanks for all the input, I just wanted to get some ideas out there for the non-standard issue body types.

I wish you'd touched on possible solutions for those that are outside the standard body ranges. At 5', I've found that to get my feet flat and yet still reach the keyboard properly, I have to use a footrest. Well, a box, at least. It's not really something that my employer thinks is practical or needed. The…

It'll be interesting to see what happens when you change careers at 35 (which I'm in the process of doing). Does this mean I'll max out at 65? Is it really the experience, work burn-out or ageism that is the issue?

As frugal as I am on everything else, one of my few splurges is for Mvelopes. It's envelope style of planning/budgeting keeps me out of trouble, whereas the freebies like Mint, or the Quicken I grew up using, don't. It saves me more than it costs. That being said, it doesn't really have a mobile app so much as a…

I also like to use it for travel: hotels, flights, etc.

It would be nice if people could get past the assumption that napping=laziness.

The hardest part about proper napping is that people don't actually get what naps are about. It's not about falling deeply asleep, in some attempt to catch up on the hours you missed the night before.

@Grodytothemax: Agreed, the insertion is rough ('specially if you haven't had kids), but the lack of period (and, you know, pregnancy) is lovely. The first 6 months I had some pretty awful cramps, which I was totally unprepared for, and I still get mild PMS type symptoms each month, but only for about a day. Still,…

Thoroughly enjoyed this book, even more so after getting the rest in the series and rereading.

One of the unexpected virtues of a programmable thermostat is it's ability to make you uncomfortable. Just hear me out on this one... I like to sleep with the house cold - like 62F in the winter. I set my thermostat to 62 at night, 66 for about an hour in the morning so I can get ready for work in relative comfort,…
