Yeah, sometimes that doesn't even work. In my job early on as a core network support engineer in wireless systems, all of our production machines ran *nix of one sort or another, so we all wanted *nix machines on our desk to use for our real work, with the IT provided winblows lappies sitting next to them for email.…

Most companies have pretty stringent policies about who pays for what during legitimate business events, and you need to know what those are for your company, and follow them. Doing otherwise can be a severely career-limiting move.

This is easy, wouldn't think there'd even be a question. If your out on business, highest ranking pays the bill and expenses it. If it's not business related then everyone gets a separate bill.

Perhaps you need to become far more active and less passive in this change. From your mom's perspective, you are now demanding that she foot the bill for your new diet AND cook it for you. If you can't afford to buy all your own food, can you at least pitch in for the food you want that isn't part of the regular…

If you can't respect the choices of others, you cannot expect them to respect your choices.

Reading your post actually made me realize something, and I think I can now shed some light on why so many omnivores get defensive about this. Full disclosure: I am an omnivore, and admit that I get very defensive when I hear people discussing veg*ism (and I have a lot of veg*an friends, whom I support as best I…

it was a political one (decision)

You're presuming everyone is eating animals from factory farms. I eat animals from farms I can (and have) visit some of them operated by friends of mine. Those animals appear to have very nice lives on pastures. They are killed quickly when they are killed and virtually every part of the animal is used. I don' t…

This is why articles like this exist, no one likes people like you except for your politically vegan friends.

In short, whether your a vegetarian or not, don't be a jerk when your a guest or a host.

There is a secret to not getting your clothes stinky: Take a shower, stop wearing your street clothes when you are involved in activities that make you sweat, and learn some common sense when assessing if they need to be washed or not.

Donate to a local charity using a cashiers check, It only has your name NOT your address or phone number. Drop it off in person and walk out the door. the smaller locals need the money more than the giant multi bilion dollar ones do, so donate locally and you control that none of your personal information goes…

and there are those guys, too.

Or pay a little more so you never have to experience the horror of entering a Walmart.

(can't speak for Costco since we don't have them here)

You're much more likely to get a job if you already have one. Whether you quit or were laid off you are automatically perceived as being in the bottom 10% of the workforce. Also, good luck negotiating your next salary when you don't have one at all. Shortsighted. Granted if you are working near-minimum wage "jobs" and…

You are a wise woman and are lucky enough to have found a wise man. Happily, without a lot of spending cash you start exploring less expensive ways to have fun. We found camping, gardening,and the library this way. We will be married 41 years in July.

I bought my last two phones on ebay (Note 3 and international Galaxy S4).

I have this bag by Mims of Maine on Etsy for everyday. It is so well-made and beautiful—much nicer than any factory made big box brand like Coach. It is a little heavy, but I love it so much I don't mind.

You have to put yourself out there and show your interest. You have to be willing to flirt a little, to show her that you like her as a potential relationship, not as a platonic friend to get together and debate whether Beyond the Boundary owes a debt to Devil Hunter Yoko and El Hazard. You have to take a risk because…
