Genuine question: why? My friend told me his baby just makes a lot of noise (babbling), so they’re always up and checking on him just to make sure he’s okay.

OT: it drives me up a wall that Swype keeps adding nonsense words to its dictionary THEN choosing those as the preferred terms. For example: the should not be replaced with teh. WTF.

AKA “come up with” your idea six months from now and claim it as their own? I have this happen all the time.

A therapist once told me I was wasting money because I already examined situations from every possible angle. So when I’m at work and someone suggests something, I start analyzing it to look for challenges or ways to improve upon it. Most people take this as me being very negative. I’m really not — I just don’t want…

Thanks! After looking at TONS of photos over at RealSelf, I feel a bit better about my skin. However, when I shine a flashlight from under my chin, I can see all this horrible, bumpy skin. It’s not very noticeable in regular light. Do you think this also helps with softening such bumpiness?

I’m thinking about having a skin peel to try and remove acne scars. Has anyone had this? How bad was the “don’t let people see you” time? Were you happy with the final results?

I also got screwed on taxes last year (turns out my job hadn’t been correctly reporting that I was married), so when I did the math, it turned out that I had about $4,000 non-bill money for the entire year.

Ugh, our rent is 3x/year than what I made before getting this job. It’s absolutely insane.

I feel ya. Several of my friends back home have bought houses with land. Since I’m familiar with the area in which you write, there’s no way in hell I’d ever be able to buy a house here.

Not necessarily. My income by itself puts me in the top 37% for the US. However, for the county where I live, I’m in the bottom 31%. Rent is a bit over 50% of my income. This is the second cheapest place within an hour of my job (the last location had people making drug deals on the sidewalks and people ODing in the…

Our gross income is barely six figures, which puts us in the top 20%. However, the county where we live, we’re in the top 46%. We’re surrounded by crap houses which cost nearly a million dollars.

I’ve had stick straight hair all my life, except when it’s in a bob. Then it puffs up into a triangle head formation. However, it’s now getting wavy as I get older. WTF.

Also! Doesn’t that completely screw with the Simon’s journey? If he knew about that, he should have said something and stopped it.

Pro-tip: if you get free Dropbox storage from buying a Samsung phone, you can only use one big promo like that per account. So I had to create a new account to get Dropbox on my new phone with all that bonus storage. Pfft.

I’ve been feeling pretty...antsy about OneDrive for awhile now. I’m a OneNote user and it’s been refusing to sync my notebooks for awhile now. ON has *way* more features than Evernote but this is some grade A b.s.

Where the Downton Abbey character came back (again)? If so, yes, that one.

I had nightmares at the end of season 3 (?) when the thing that shouldn’t have happened did out of nowhere.

Great topic! I haven’t had a kid, but I had intense...feelings when I was a kid. I’d have dreams about celebrities getting hurt/killed before they did and would have really bad feelings about things before they happened. I couldn’t tell what was going to happen, but I’d know that everything was going to go very badly.…

Strangely enough, my partner just bought a CO2 detector last night.

My Siamese cat has eyes that reflect red (unique to Siamese). My mom’s BF was *very* uncomfortable to come into a room and see the cat’s glowing red eyes. He was convinced she was satanic, haha.

Had something happen at the old house that I couldn’t explain. We lived on the first floor of a three floor house. In the apartment above ours, there was a small dog that ran all over the place barking at odd hours. One evening, it apparently had gotten ahold of a ball and was chasing it back and forth as it rolled…
