Schwab Investor Checking, no ATM fees ever. Why? because they don’t have any ATM’s of their own. So instead they reimburse you all fees, including abroad. I get cash at my gas station when it’s convenient for me. I get the $3 fee reimbursed in my account in a couple days automatically. Downside is that they have very…

That’s fair, but afternoons are for meetings, and we have multiple buildings, so I’m usually getting up and walking a couple different places in the afternoon. Agreed that sitting at desk for 5.5 hours is a long stretch.

So much sense. Breakfast is jam on toast, no butter. Between getting 2 kids to daycare (and all that entails like when it’s snack day or return the form day) and then commuting and having a several hours of work under my belt, 10:30 is the only logical choice.

As someone who is routinely the first person in the office to go to lunch at 10:30, I endorse this article. Why 10:30, it’s when the lunch places around here open and I’m starving. I’m also back usually around 11:15, and then everyone else leaves at noon like clockwork and I get an hour of quiet time in the office.

Piggy backing off of your employer is good, but if you are still in college, you may just treat your college like your employer. They have corporate codes to use, and at least back when I was in college, anyone with a .edu email from my school could use the corporate codes. The internal website with the codes even…

I lucked into offices for my whole career. I cringe when I see social media from friends and they are in their open concept office. I could not and would not. I keep an open door because my boss and the office assistant pop in and it is just our culture but I do close it for calls and I cherish the fact that I can…

1. I refinanced my wife’s student loans. She went back to school and we didn’t need the money but we took out a new loan to pay back the old loans. Same rate, so now we have longer to to pay off the same amount. It really helped with the monthly cash flow situation.

100%. Starter home had a large kitchen, and a reasonably sized living room. In between there was a half wall that ran from the edge of the cabinets to a structural support so it was like having a big window into the other room. 9 times out of ten you weren’t at a good angle, but if you were sitting at the table, you…

I’ve found board games and card games help around that age, even if the games say a certain age and up. Sitting down to play a game with rules and an ending means you get to mix it up or say how many rounds you’re willing to play when you start. We started at age 3 with candyland types of games, and she took up Sorry…

I fully expect the credentials that I use for cable log in services to just one day stop. We didn’t have a falling out, we just live in different cities and don’t talk regularly. They could just move apartments, change providers, or choose to cut the cord themselves and not remember that seven years ago they let me…

Can confirm it is probably a lot and I taste it in every bite.

Agreed, my Jjs knows me. They know my order, and that just happens to be the slim 5, so today, right now I am reluctantly eating my frenchie regretting my decision. The skinny bread is made from same dough, so its a little too overbaked for me. Thats probably intentional to get the crunch, but tomorrow I may ask for a…

The struggle is real.

I knew that I was not speaking for everyone. I get a great big bin, the tall green one and a yellow lid with the metal bar that the truck arm picks up so that the only person doing the work is the driver. My biggest issue is that as a modern family they could pick up my garbage less and my recycling more. I am here…

My recycling fills up twice as fast as my garbage, yet my garbage is picked up once a week and recycling only once every two weeks. This means that if I don’t crush my cans, I will just put them where there is space, my garbage. Change the size of city required bin, change the frequency that they pick it up, let me…

I would guess that Samsung just wanted to put its best foot forward, and make people think of the S10 as an after thought. Here’s our new phone, and if you don’t want the best, go look at those....... I don’t blame them, but the whole lineup seems pretty good so my choice was between the regular and the e. I went with…

When Blockbuster had it’s own mail rental service head to head against Netflix it was no brainer to go with Blockbuster. The content libraries were about identical, but when you brought your mailer in and returned it at a blockbuster location you got a free in store rental. I had never had HBO and streaming wasn’t a…

For me they can do anything to the story or script, but whomever decided that Jessica C. should be blonde so as not to compete with Sophie Turner should be removed from all movie making. There is enough room for two red heads. No one is going to be thrown off by a natural red Jessica C. In fact, I wonder what she said…

And here I am hesitant to call my server/bartender m’am because there’s an implied age thing. Beyond polite phrases and expressing gratitude I try not to chat up a server. They are busy working. I won’t use your name, but I also won’t substitute a pet name. Thank you instead of thanks baby is not very hard, in fact it…

I never knew it had a term. I’ve always just called it ice thunder.... happens on occasion up north Wisconsin when you’re at a lake house in the winter.
