I spend probably too much on my hair. But I get why people don’t want to. It’s something that no matter how much you spend on it, it’s not going to look the way it did when you paid for it for longer than a few days. Bless you all though for making me feel fantastic for those first 3 days though. Worth it.

Oh!

My hack was going to be: Go without kids. It’s a blast. Booze, food, fun but not extreme rides, great people watching. Speaking of if the latter is your thing GO ON BATS DAY. It is the best. Edit: Sorry Bats Day is at Disneyland. But I have been to both parks without kids and it was frickin’ awesome every time. With…

They’re super old phones. Like they only need to be charged two or three times a month. I’m a Type 1 diabetic, clumsy and also forgetful. I have post it notes and alarms for everything. Even for reminding me to eat because I’ll go a day without a bite unless I get a reminder. ALSO. I have a stalker ex. Like he has a…

Same. We keep the old deactivated ones around... one in each room. Because despite not having service they can still dial 911 and we have no landline.

On fleek, grandpa. But still no.

Anecdotal but my buddy in Philly just bought a Sodastream. He hated all the Sodastream flavors so he goes to Sam’s Club and buys the 5 gallon box of Coca-Cola syrup to make his own Coke. He’s kind of my hero? Probably soon to be diabetic hero.

Er every non mom-and-pop grocery store I’ve been to in the last decade has had a toy aisle.

Maybe it’s sacrilege but I freeze my fruit for smoothies. I love smoothies and they’re the best way for my forgetful self to get a meal in quickly. I freeze little bags of measured and sliced fruits and veggies and label them and add directions if needed (like to add a scoop of peanut butter or a bit of honey).…

Semi relevant question. I want to get rid of Facebook because I rarely used it to begin with. I mostly use it to quickly log into sites. Like this site. I’ve got most of my other sites sorted out but I don’t see a way to log in to Kinja with email instead of Facebook. How do I make it so?

Nice. As someone who often forgets to eat and would likely go a day or two without a bite if it weren’t for reminders this is sort of validating? I mean I’m still gonna try to eat. But I can wave this in my mom’s face when she’s on me about eating more. DO YOU WANT ME TO DIE, MOM?

I know what you mean. I don’t like soft/mushy bananas. I especially don’t like when they have that gritty off texture. It’s almost gag inducing. I prefer a firm banana. It’s more about texture than flavor. I’m fine with it being less sweet if it doesn’t feel like a wad of wet toilet paper in my mouth.

If that’s the case then there has to be more than 1 million stolen. Because why would the other people involved let the student worker walk away with nearly half?

The last one is why I like giving Blue Apron as a gift to people who are just starting to learn to cook - or experienced cooks who haven’t ventured much outside of their comfort zone. My friend makes great Italian food but that’s about it. He wouldn’t know where to start with a curry or tempura batter. He can try new…

Sometimes you just want to run in to the grocery store after work to grab one or two things and be home in time to beat the traffic. Especially if you have to pick up the kids from daycare and can’t be late because they charge $1 for each additional minute.

If you’ve ever worked fast food you’d know that there are way too many specific orders. Why are people who are deathly allergic to something like onions or tomatoes even eating at McDonald’s?

While Dominos pizza has gotten better, it was mainly the prices that drove most people I know towards them over Pizza Hut. My sister prefers the thick doughy Pizza Hut pies but being a broke college kid, she orders Dominos almost exclusively because it’s always been cheaper. I’ve noticed they have lowered some prices…

It wouldn’t be so bad but my office is currently also in my bedroom and my mouse has stupid bright LEDs. So I am woken up when it happens. I tried most of the things you list here and eventually started using the Unified Remote app on my phone to just put it back to sleep. That’s my life now. Definitely trying your…

She’s weird. Am vegan and I’m ok with re-using bowls and utensils that have touched meat as long as they’ve been properly washed.

Yeah grew up with the kimchi fridge in the garage. That’s pretty common. Partially a smell thing, partially because of the control they offer.
