Agreed. Why would I continue to let a company with a widespread ethics problem handle my money and identity? If an individual did this, they’d be behind bars. Why should a company get away with it? Find out who in management pushed these practices, and level charges. Beyond shady.

My whole computer-addicted family (including me) needs to do these! I just don’t know how to convince them to give it a try.

The snuggling! Have mercy, the snuggling! It’s like a soft, dark force trapping you in the bed, entangling your will in warm blankets and reaching out to capture you in the wisps of your dissipating dreams... It’s all too easy to fall back asleep, and once you do--all is lost.

Those both sound great!

I didn’t even know what it was until I visited a friend in Dallas. Should have known better than to get hooked on something I wouldn’t be able to find at home! ;)

I used to be a morning person. Sat up like a jack-in-the-box when my alarm went off, smiled all day long, and went to bed at 10pm. I miss that girl.

How strong is the connection between these antibacterials and chemical shifts in the body? Specifically, I wonder if they could be contributing to the rise in affective disorders like anxiety, depression, and the like. Even if they’re not the primary cause, perhaps they could behave as a triggering factor? Just…

Given the 65% rate at which my kids are typically able to hang onto things like coats, backpacks, electronics, snow gloves, and shoes, I don’t spend that kind of money on anything I buy for them. They’ve saved up for some of the more expensive things they want, but it’s nearly miraculous how much better care they take…

Thanks! I might try this! I LOVE mochi ice cream with a fiery passion, but if I can even find it up here in the wilds of Idaho, it’s almost prohibitively expensive. I’ll have to give this a whirl.

True! Same with other senses, too. That’s why they sometimes feel water as burning hot that is just very warm to us, or why they are sometimes more distracted by ambient noise than we are.

Breast milk smoothies and organic flax seeds roasted in coconut oil.

It doesn’t look like you and Ascii_Ebcidic are quite ready to shack up.

Strange. When I saw just a picture of the band on another site, I assumed it was meant to give extra lift, not to squoosh stuff down. This placement looks supremely uncomfortable to this double-D.

You’re very fortunate to be completely present and aware 100% of the time of everything that’s going on around you. Unfortunately, some of us mere mortals occasionally get distracted, despite our desire to pay attention to what’s important.

Great idea! So simple, and it could save both a life and a lifetime of heartache.

How wonderful! Thank you for putting more positivity into the world; we can all use it right about now! I just got the text for today, so I’ll have to put you and your website on my thankfulness list. ;)

I shudder to think what kind of services will be offered to encourage chastity and honesty.

I love this, actually! Gratitude, like so many good practices, is a habit that can be cultivated. Like you, I’ve started myriad gratitude journals just to let it fall by the wayside after a short while. And I suspect getting the reminder in the morning will help me shift my mindset to see all the blessings around me a…

I suspect that if we treat sex lightly before marriage, we’re that much more likely to treat it lightly after marriage. Impulse control and delayed gratification are skills that grow stronger as you exercise them. In case you can’t tell, I’m one of those weirdos who waited until marriage to have sex and has been…

After years of concentrated brainwashing by my tech-tethered husband, I’ve gone nearly paperless, keeping short notes and lists and information in my phone, like a good little Jetson. Even so, there are times when only paper will do, when the physical act of touching pen to paper awakens some spark of joy that lies…
