A comically large wall calendar with spaces for each and every card. Every morning he takes the right one off the calendar while softly singing “Happy Birthday to me, happy birthday to meee...” and giggling manically.

I may give this a shot to see what configurations it has. For example, this would be useful with my wife, but sometimes, she will run with the dogs to give them some exercise, so the “if you don’t respond within 15 seconds of starting to run” feature would make this a no-go unless it could be turned off.

And she isn’t…

Can i just keep this running the entire time i’m home?

You *always* hate blanket statement?

This is a little off-topic but hear me out: Do you guys have a max-length for the articles you publish? Thorin writes posts a lot of articles that I’m interested in but I feel as though they’re purposely stunted. Obviously, I could be wrong and assuming limitations because they’re interesting articles. Sometimes I’ll…

If they’re firing you by email on Saturday it probably wasn’t the greatest job anyway.

It makes it easier for you to stand out. I grew up being taught that you should dress for…

It’s after 5 o’clock, what am I? A farmer?

Just found out my partner of nearly a decade was having an affair because the other woman found out about me and informed me. As shitty as my life has been since, I’m grateful to her.

My general rule is to always tell the person. Honesty is a good thing and my friends can expect that from me. I can’t really think of many situations where keeping quiet would be an appropriate course of action. Informed consent kinda demands honesty in relationships.

You’re not alone, I am of the same mind.

I dated a girl for about 4.5 years from the very end of middle school up until graduating high school. I found out she had been cheating on me for a while at the end of things and I honestly wished someone would have told me.

I sincerely doubt anyone who actually tries this is going to look at the box labeled “Christmas Tree” and think “Well, I didn’t need that in August. Obviously I never will.” It’s an exercise, not a commandment from the almighty.
