I have recently joined a couple of professional groups on LinkedIn and become an active commenter and poster, and I find that my profile views among useful industry folks have gone up dramatically. After someone views my profile or we have a good exchange on a post I go back and view their profile and send them a…

Wait, what? You need to vacuum the coils on your fridge? I Googled this and now I'm so afraid of all the other stuff that I should be doing but didn't know about :(

I gave a friend a cooking lesson earlier this week and learned the answer the hard way. When you need to turn the heat to something other than really low or really high on a gas stove, people with no cooking experience frequently get it wrong and will either burn or undercook the meal, which means they often think "I…

I'm also going to add one I've noticed for other people, although I was taught very well. Cleaning. People don't know what products to use, that you need to mop in addition to sweeping, why fabric softener is a thing, or how to drain the trap in their sink.

Oooh, I had this same problem after college. Why didn't anybody tell me that 10 years out some companies will still want to know my GPA?

I cannot believe how many people I know who cannot replace a button. I legit had to stop someone from throwing away a shirt after the button came off the other day! I got very lucky that my grandma taught us all (boys and girls) the basics of hand-stitching and using sewing machines.

How to deal with people who upset you without losing your temper. I've since learned but my siblings are... still working on it and it's hard to watch.

Maybe you could also try portioning out the rest of the food into tupperware and putting it away in the fridge before you sit down to eat? I've been doing that to make sure I have leftovers to bring to work. Now if only I could restrict myself to bringing 1 lunch instead of 2... And you're so right - what the hell…

I just wanted to say that I've been dealing with binge eating for some of the same reasons and I'm finally getting a handle on it by making myself leave at least 1 bite of something on the plate at the end of every meal. It doesn't seem like much of a change, but mentally for me it was a real stretch and I have to…

After you make the first cut (cutting the onion in half), run both halves under cool water. It washes away a lot of the juice and has really helped me. Mascara raccoon eyes due to onion cutting? Suuuper sexy.

Can you please explain your process? Debone and throw in with the bread hook? I feel like this would save me so much time!

Ouch. I sometimes really worry about my (imaginary) future spouse because of this... I never quote Tolstoy because I actually couldn't stand this novel, but the opening line to Anna Karenina says it all. " All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."

Is there a name for this? Because I think I have it too but they keep asking me to fast for blood tests and I can't do it without getting dizzy/passing out because of lack of protein. I knew it didn't just run in my family!

One other way to look at it is that he wouldn't be the person you fell in love with if he hadn't first had those life experiences. Many people who have not been married before have still been in love, have exchanged promises, and have shared homes or pets or children with previous exes. As you get older these…

Similar statements as in "we're required to evaluate your teenager alone due to privacy concerns", and then let the parent assume that was due to the law and not due to the individual practice's policies. Since I was 16 at the time and it was the only reason my doc was able to speak to me about where I could secretly…

I worked at a doctors' office in California where they asked us to make similar statements to the parents of teenagers so they could be sure to get an accurate medical history and inquire about domestic violence/abuse. It's quite common, from what I understand.

I went through the better part of the last 5 years with a prepaid phone and did the opposite: "Can you please leave me a voicemail instead of texting me constantly so I only use up 1 minute instead of going back and forth constantly all day?" Also, please don't text me the letter 'k' as a response. Just don't even…
