Life Pro Tip. Keep half a dozen of the “burp cloths” you use when the kids are babies. We have a ton of them, we keep them with the dish towels. They are great for impromptu bibs, and superhero capes, also in a pinch they’ll dry the shit out of some dishes...

Also, be realistic about what you want in a home, particularly when it comes to managing the property. I find that people often “overcorrect” when buying a home, based on what they seem as the issues with their current living situation (renting, or buying).

I feel like we see one of these “fake review” posts every month or two.

Key word “remember” . This is particularly important when talking about splurging on “experiences” like vacations, trips, etc. 

Sweet Jesus. I can’t imagine a worse fate. This isn’t exactly why I’d have a really hard time trusting a “smart” device for use around a sleeping newborn

You know I feel like this landscape has changed dramatically over the last 20 years or so. I recall it starting when I was a kid, you could do camps and stuff and the kids who were really good were doing advanced leagues. Now, I hear coworkers kids who get “offered a contract” to play with a club team, which comes…

I guess our current family motto is “We’re going to be late, again!”

We’ve got Dora the Explorer, and Paw Patrol in my house.

Lately, though, she’s been asking me to delete the videos in which she declares she sounds “so bad.”

You know, I think sometimes this might be OK. Typically this happens when my wife and I are finally relaxing after we’ve got our two little Hams put to bed. We will sometimes reflect on our kids personalities and how they are just like us. We aren’t being prescriptive about it, but just observational. That being…

Next up, How to tell if your passive income is actually a Pyramid Scheme? 

Also worth noting, ANY product claiming to “target” a specific area of fat is generally a load of BS. i.e. doing crunches isn’t going to “burn fat” in your stomach. While you will tone your abs by using those muscles, theres no connection to activity and burning fat specifically in the same area.

I once read a saying that went something like this: “The best way to ensure your happiness is to lower your expectations”

This.

I’ve never seen Tiger hug so many people after a win. I was incredibly happy to see him win. He’s only about 2 years older than me, I just remember what he did for the sport, and think he deserved better than to have his career fade into nothing with injuries. The fact that he got to win a major in front of his…

Don’t feed bread to birds.

I think a more apt suggestion would be to examine your own choices for a living situation. I know someone who pays a fairly ridiculous amount to live in a 1Br in a complex That’s more like a hotel. There’s a “concierge” and a gym and a “ theatre”. He justifies the cost by including these “services” he’d otherwise…

I want to create a bot that creates a comment that displays the oAuth permissions that are requested for each chrome extension/web service that gets written about.

When possible try to get business cards from the people you interview with Chances are you may not have their email/mailing address correct.

This is one of those things where I feel like it’s good to exercise caution based on a solid self-assessment of abilities, and risk.
