Did you suggest toys?

For the love of your sanity and for the sanity of your neighbors, as well as your well-being, please exercise great caution picking up furniture from second hand sources, unless you know where it came from. You never know who did what on that couch, or other piece of furniture, and also to avoid bringing bedbugs home…

I'd likely pay the additional cost if they had a freakin' Android streaming app. They're going to increase everyone's membership by 25% but they can't support the OS the comprises 80% of the mobile market?

Most of them I reply, "SURE! I'll meet you at XXXX in 1 hour, look for the guy in a blue honda" and call it done.

Well a friend of mine in college used me as a reference on a payday loan (and didn't tell me about it, the SOB). So once he paid them off, they had all this wonderful info sitting around and not making them any money, so they sold all the contact info that he put down, and now I'm getting scam calls every couple weeks.

I'm surprised to not see Plex here. Definitely my favorite app for streaming videos and music from your home network to the Chromecast. Seems to handle any video format with ease. The Android / ios apps are great too. I think it's $6/mo for the Plexpass that allows you to do this. Worth it!

I'm a bit surprised that Plex is not included in 'The Essentials', especially when it's included in Google's own list of Chromecast Apps and they had worked closely with Google to be one of the first to utilise the SDK and get added to the list =S

Yes he can, and he did. If you start a sentence with " I'm a cynical asshole" you should stop and repeat it and then ask, is that a good thing?

From Justified:

Like all of Facebook's previous UI changes, I will hate it for a week and then stop caring since I spend, at most, 10 min per day on Facebook.

To a man with a hammer, everything is a nail. And when your hammer is cynicism, you're hammering the entire world constantly about how wrong it is, how crappy it is, how you would have done things differently. It's an easy trap to fall into.

I used to be very optimistic about everything, always trying to find the best in any situation. Then I met 'adults'. I was living on my own in a new city working a real job with 'adults', when I started noticing just how terrible people are.

One of my psychology teachers likes to point out that when someone else cuts you off in traffic, they're an asshole, but when YOU cut someone off in traffic, you're just lost and distracted.

I agree with this so much. Sometimes it seems like there are some people who float through life untouched by anything awful, but at some point I realized that literally everyone deals with crap, it's just that not everyone deals with it the same way and the people who don't default to negativity seem to have a…

When my husband gets cut off, he will honk and rage and make gestures. Finally, I asked him why he was doing that.

if my name was thorin i'd be pretty much stoked all the time. i mean, THORIN? such an awesome name.

I'm not sure being happy, easy, or peaceful has anything to do with it—for me it's more about not being a grumpy piece of shit every day and actually paying attention to the world around me instead of complaining about it.

I had the same experience as well. Having an objective third party to insert some realism and appropriate expectations into our relationship has helped immeasurably. We used to get in these insanely heated fights over almost nothing, now I honestly couldn't tell you the last time we had an argument. Full disclosure…

My husband's timing for cleaning is always about 30 seconds after I'm flaming pissed and do it myself. "I was just about to do that!" Were you "about to do" for the last four hours?

It's funny how obvious these things are once you've gone through this... And how blind you are to them while in the thick of it.
