This was my experience negotiating for a car. IMO, the best approach would be to negotiate step-by-step, be firm and ready to walk away without the car.

Lots of crashing on Firefox lately. I've gone back to Chrome for the time being.

I am literally a completely different person at work. I work with a lot of bankers, all of them at least 20 years older than I. They are very conservative politically, and in all aspects of their lives, really. I have to dress differently (than usual,) wear my hair differently, curb the swearing, not wear my…

Here are a few examples of my self-censorship attempts:

I can't believe the Linksys WRT54G didn't make the top 5. It was my grandfather's router, and my father's router, my router, and some day I hope to pass it on to my children.

I use the adjustable IKEA legs and laminate top with an awesome counter height bar stool - option to sit = conquered.

How horrifying does your laundry have to be to go to such lengths to avoid it?

I wanted to recommend this, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Even if it's intentional.

When to use salted butter: Never.

I've found it's easier to skip the crowded bar and just have a drink at home sitting on my couch in my comfy pajama pants. Don't have to worry about getting home after either.

In regards to the Dyson Hand Dryers, if you follow the directions and slowly dip your hands down and slowly pull your hands back up, they will be dry before you exit the restroom door. They may not feel dry when you pull your hands out, but they magically dry a few seconds after leaving the dryer.

Wouldn't it just be easier to hand wash them?

I will share with you the question that my daughter and I developed as an ice breaker. Our goal was to come up with a single question that let you gauge compatibility.

Right now the Gen1 nest is on sale for about 180. I'd recommend that if you're on a budget and it fits your heater.
