frugal people in mansions? isn't that a contradictio in terminis?

I think 'not leading with your need' is true for a lot of situations. Giving has far better results than asking.

this might be true in your case, or even in more companies in the US. In the EU however, employees are protected to some (or big) extent. HR would be your friend, because they can (and often will) help you, because losing a good employee because of a bad boss is worse (also financially) than giving you an opportunity…

other things that never do what they tell you are the Telsell or related appliances (ab workout stuff, kitchen stuff, etc)

oh, Americans and their love for macaroni and cheese. This is certainly not the way Italians (and most other Europeans for that matter) eat their pastas.

maybe the fabric lasts longer, but the colour definitely does not. Drying outside will bleach your clothes due to sun exposure.

my oven always has the light on when it's on. It doesn't have a separate button/ knob for the light.

mm, aloe juice is made from aloe vera (what else?).

definitely no square knots (she did left over right, left over right). She probably didn't know exactly how to do them, because she hesitated and changed some times.

Don't make it too easy WildWon... Adding LEGO bricks to any present would be just that. We would all rather make this custom christmas present shaker noisemaker for each present.

wow... this is really something.

I use lastpass for my password management. Generates safe passwords and remembers them for you. All passwords are of course only accessible with one master password (which you should not write down and should be super safe).

I think there is actually also another reason for not allowing personal electronic devices: when things go bad during take-off/ landing, all the loose stuff is going to be thrown through the cabin and potentially hurting people. More loose stuff == more hurt people.

Actually, there is a big difference: the person next to you can actually see the traffic situation you are in and will stop talking if things get tough. The person on the phone cannot see that, and by consequence will not stop talking.

mine is red ;)
