How about decorate things how you like? I bought my house to live in and enjoy not for some mythical resale value...Why is every article about design have to be about resale value?

My mom is the only one with a sweet tooth in our family and I distinctly remember one time on vacation as kids (all under 10) she suggested we have ice cream for dinner! And we were all like “....ehhh....can we just have a real dinner?” Then she got real pouty and said “This is vacation! *cross arms/pout* We’re…

I was once denied an opportunity to interview for a job because a higher up saw me “wearing sunglasses inside” and “he didn’t like my attitude” (NOTE: I wear prescription transition lenses and I had just entered the building when he walked by). This story is to relay that none of this advice matters, it’s all 100%…

Ahh yes, I love scrubbing sticky residue left over from duct tape after I’m done sweeping...

It’s the same thing with everything and it’s so annoying, you pay a bill and it’s taken out the very instant you click that button....but need a refund? Give them 4 to 6 weeks to process it.

Luckily I work with absolute vultures. Any food I bring into work, good or not, gets devoured in the first hour of the day.  Cookies, Cakes, Dips, Breads, Sweet, Savory, does not matter.

My problem is I only procrastinate the big things. Anything that can be done in the 10 minutes suggested I’ll just do anyway. Switch to heavy/light bed coverings as the season changes? Do a spot of laundry? Reorganize my desk? It’s done already. Tear down my shed and plant some trees? Run network cables through the…

Should I just stop paying student loans? I’d hate for all that money to essentially be just wasted if any of this actually happens.

If I pay for a service and do not revive that promised service I will be getting my money back, and I will be doing it without thinking about anyone on the other side from CEO to Contractor, do better if you want my money.

I do standard things like tracking every penny in and out of my account and rounding up purchases and putting the extra into a separate savings account. But the thing I do that would qualify as a hack, is I have the habit of roughly calculating in my head how many hours worked an item costs.  

I’ll never understand people who are late all the time, I am the one always early to everything. I have a friend who is late to everything, except anything with me involved. See, I started just leaving on time, starting things on time, ordering food without them, etc. since they weren’t there. Turns out, it didn’t…

As someone who just had to reduce their contribution to their retirement to make ends meat, this article and all it’s comments just depress me further.  I’m already resigned to working till the day I die, I should probably just stop contributing all together.

When you find yourself thinking of complaining about too much free time at work:

I don’t even need to look at a retirement calculator to know I won’t be able to retire and I’ll be working till the day I die. Considering rising cost of living and stagnating wages, in the last 5 years, with no changes in lifestyle, I’ve gone from saving almost 10% to living paycheck to paycheck.

I can’t network because I don’t like using people. The whole idea of ‘maintain this relationship because they might be useful to you later’ weirds me out, like I surrounded by sociopaths.

Yeah, the timing on this article is probably not great. Last time I was searching for a doctor I called 5 offices, 3 were not taking new patients, 1 had a 5 month waiting list, and the last one had an indeterminate waiting list. I ended up shrugging my shoulders and saying ‘forget this’ and never did get that annual…

The Google map location history is already a pretty good visualizer, why would I give another company my location history and pay them for the privilege too!

I got one of those puzzle treat balls once. My cat gave it to the dog (he will NOT touch any of the cats stuff without her permission) to break the plastic so she could just eat all the treats.  I guess that’s kind of like solving puzzle.

Did they forget to cook those burgers in the picture.....?

Damn I’m an idiot, sitting here looking at the top half of the chart thinking how neat it would be to see the other half but never thinking to scroll down....one of those days I guess.
