This is such good advice, even though these conversations can be uncomfortable. I particularly like the notes at the end, in which the author basically says, “If your boss won’t listen or help, feel free to move on.” People are so hesitant to change jobs sometimes, and it’s unfortunate when that loyalty is misplaced.

That last tactic, building a new track, is what I use (and suggest to others) to combat Imposter Syndrome, as well. Looking at negative thoughts objectively and empirically can do wonders!

You also have to have “your credit card number or account number from an auto loan, mortgage, home equity loan or home equity line of credit.” This disproportionately would affect poor people, who potentially don’t have credit and might only have pre-paid phones. I’m not a fan of the re-vamp.

I understand the “how” as far as “what things I should do.” The “how” for me is “how do I train my brain to do the things that I know I should do.” For someone with the compulsion to eat, those ideas are like telling a smoker to take a walk or eat a carrot whenever he or she craves a cigarette. While I understand the…

Originally I misread this as meaning that women are totes, as in totes for babies, which may also be accurate.

This is Weber’s theory at its finest. He posited in The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism that the Reformer sects (like Calvinists) believed that economic prosperity was a sign of one’s moral fortitude, so wealthy people were rich because God favored them as good and moral people. If this comment weren’t…

I’m a woman, and I accept apologies that don’t come with a price tag. I’m pretty satisfied with any apology that boils down to “I’m sorry I hurt you when I did that thing; I’ll try to remember not to do it anymore.” Much more meaningful than “I’m sorry if I hurt you, but I didn’t know and maybe you’re being a little…

A couple of months ago, Kelly Bishop revealed that Emily Gilmore is manic over the loss of her husband. In the interview, she explains that he has a “presence” in the first episode while the characters deal with his loss. I hope it’s as respectfully accomplished at it sounds.

I couldn’t figure out the comparison of Vermont to WV, either. We both have forests? Some of the populations of both states hunt? I’m not entirely sure what’s bad about either state, but perhaps as an ignorant Appalachian I just don’t get it.

I’ve been doing this! Four days a week, I start work at noon, and I used to spend the mornings watching TV/playing on the internet. A few weeks ago I stopped watching TV, and I’m so much more productive. Sometimes I’ll take a walk or do another form of exercise, or I’ll do housework, or I’ll work on something creative…

As someone who works in career services for a university, I would say it depends on the job and corporate culture. If you’re going into any sort of sales or marketing position, it might look odd to a potential employer if you aren’t involved in social media. Alternatively, employers might wonder about the technical…

I, too, am interested in the magic of The Ritual. I am only ungreyed over at Lifehacker, which is lovely, but I’m a much more frequent commenter over here.

I was dubious about how this could work for so many types of meat, but the article explains the different marinating ratios. I’ll have to try this at my next cookout, which should be soon given the fair weather we’ve been having.

I did my first teaching clinical here in WV, and my host teacher told me that she used to have the students do yoga in the morning to wake up their wee kindergarten minds. Parents found out and insisted she was indoctrinating them, so she switched to “stretching exercises.”

I was the daughter in a situation like yours. My biological father dropped out of our lives when I was a child, and he legally signed away his rights when I was 2, so he didn’t have to pay child support. He didn’t see me again until I was 17. Unfortunately, back in the early 1990s, we needed his approval and signature…

Crotched bikini? Is it supposed to be crocheted?

The slideshow comments that he’s prone to temper tantrums. Their evidence is that he also had one last month. If he only has a meltdown once a month, I’d say he’s extremely well-mannered and happy-go-lucky.

That’s what I thought the story would be, too, and that was bad enough. I’m absolutely stunned.

It’s hard to find coupons for those types of staples, but you can find rebates that give you coupon-levels of money back. Ibotta and SavingStar often have coupons for fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, and bread.

I’m surprised they paired Jodie Sweetin with Keo, given his history of only lasting a couple weeks. I thought she was a strong dancer. Maybe this is his shot to make it closer to the mirror ball trophy.
