My mom still thought it was appropriate for me to cold-call any and every company she could think of and ask for a job when I was looking. I had to explain several times that things just don't work that way anymore.

I assume you pre-screen everyone on the planet, then, before you use a service they are in any way connected to? I can guarantee you that on any given day, you have participated in the economy with someone who hates children, thereby having use for someone who hates children.

So does Dumpster forcibly insert itself in between the normal and final delete and gone forever process, or is Android really keeping them around even though you tapped Delete with no way to retrieve them without an app like this?

+1. It's actually much less annoying if you configure it to not play sounds and talk to you every time something happens.

If they won't pay because they're cutting back, I should also assume that they probably aren't very generous with raises or bonuses or benefits. Red flags all over!

I honestly would prefer moissanite. Boyfriend is LEAPS AND BOUNDS better with his money than when we first started dating, but I 1) don't think he can, and 2) don't want him to try to drop anywhere near or above $1000 for an engagement ring if/when it's time. If he feels like trying to save and spend $5000 on a ring,…

My budget is a zero sum budget simply because to do all the things I need/want to do (savings, bills, fun money) every month, I use up all my paycheck every week >.>

My boyfriend and I work like this too. He technically makes more that I do, but after bills and debts (I have none, he is paying down two loans and some credit card debt) I actually come up on top. That is not to say I have a lot of extra left over, though. If we want to go out, we'll decide who can treat, if either…

He is a big dude, so I'll check them out, but they sound too fancy to have big guy sizes. Levis might have a 46" waist, have never shopped them for mens.

I understand why they would want me to leave cash, really, I do.

I think I am going to surprise boyfriend with some of these items for a quality upgrade. Right now, he wears Hane's t-shirts that he buys 5 at a time from Walmart when he needs them and Wrangler jeans and shorts, again, from Walmart as he needs them. Those t-shirts shrink after one wash and don't fit quite right every…

If I think about it, the new plan (the one that costs me money every paycheck) actually is better, or at least it all comes out in the wash. I have an out-of-pocket max (I don't seem to remember my other one having one) which is very easy for me to meet with my prescription drugs, very early on in the year, so a lot…

I changed jobs last October. It wound up mostly being a "promotion" of morale, not so much immediate earnings. I was miserable at the previous job. I am very happy where I am now. I did get a salary increase, but I now pay health insurance premiums (where my old job I did not have to, it was taken care of by the other…

I guess you and I are just the last people from the generation that believes in being polite and not just barging into someone's closed door office!

I could understand the cracked door test to an extent. If it were me on the interview, and it was officially the time for the interview to start, I would knock on said door after 1 minute of waiting to find out if they were ready for me. I believe in being assertive, but polite about it.

I was surprised when I requested my credit union increase my credit maximum on my new-ish first credit card ($250 secured to $500 unsecured) that they also gave me a $500 line of credit for overdraft protection. I've only ever overdrafted once before, but it's nice to know that if I happen to, it will just be treated…

I would love to use this, but they have not added my bank. There are tons of other dinky credit unions already supported, too.

How is that the same thing? It would be a good comparison if you simply asked me to play it in general, because I'd seen it in a commercial. THAT scenario would be like me expecting them to be able to run on a treadmill in general, because it's a common treadmill, and how do you not know how to run? Any treadmill I…

You can also get E. coli from not washing your hands after you take a shit and eating your veggies.

If that's the case, they're going to have a problem getting through life in general, much less the gym.
