I'm not being sarcastic either, but why do you feel so terrible for me?
I have no regrets about going this route:
Some elements (ie not kissing while dating) may have been silly and do have a prudish element to them, but they didn't keep us from enjoying our time together and even made them more special once we did…

A risky solution - I just run an extension cable (fully insulated) along between the seats, that a long cable can reach to the floor and plug into. A lot safer, about the same price, no risk of permanently damaging the car, and none of the potential fire hazards.

We had been just friends for 1 year, dated for 4 years, engaged for a little over 1 year, and then got married. We held hands, hugged, etc while dating. We only kissed once we were engaged.
As to religion, we are Christians. (As an aside: us American's are weird. Religion (even atheism) is usually one of the most…

While I agree with your sentiment that it is not the most important day and you shouldn't go broke over it, but rather a transition to a different stage in life, the changing moral climate of our society has actually diluted its value far below what it deserves. Two main factors made the day more than just…

You are right about most, but I'm just a little weird - my wife and I have the opposite problem. We get through it just fine, but its always fun to see things a little backwards.

People underestimate the importance of marrying the family too. You get the baggage that goes with it. I HIGHLY recommend you live somewhere away from both of your families, at least for a time, when you first get married. My wife and I are an hour or two from both of our families, and this allowed us to be a family…

there are a few ways for it to go:
- Divorce is not an option - during the tough times you work through it and get things going again
- Divorce is not an option to the extreme - one partner endures abuse without considering their rightful option to leave
- Divorce is an option - As long as things are going relatively…

That is a good point too - maybe if you are only making 40k you might consider moving outside a major city?

Mine even came with a 16GB caching drive, so I reformatted the drive and use it as a dedicated scratch space for photoshop and premire. It avoids getting the extra writes to my SSD, but gives me great memory performance - 12GB ram + 16GB SSD cache makes for some fast response.

Do it! it was the best thing I ever did to my laptop. And if you have a common laptop model absolutely go Amazon. NewmodeUS is always more expensive, but I had a hard time finding one for my laptop, and an extra $20 was worth avoiding the hassle of not getting the right bracket. My laptop now reboots in less than 10…

They have 4 plans to choose from, but in each one you buy the books (not rent) so once you choose a book it is yours, and counts against your monthly/ annual count:
Monthly 1 or 2 books/ month at $15 or $23 per month ($180 or $276 per year)
Annually 12 or 24 books at $150 or $230 per year

I buy the 24 books at once as it…

They are very laptop specific. Amazon is one of the cheapest, but it can be hard to find the exact model. newmodeus.com is where I bought mine - its a tiny bit more expensive, but you are sure to get the right fit with very specific offerings. Either way, you are looking at $20-50 depending on how common your drive is…

Suggestion: Remove your DVD drive. I have a SSD primary, and a spinning secondary in my laptop and get the best of both worlds: Fast boot-ups and program launches, with tons of space for files.

2 suggestions for cheaper audiobooks:
1. buy the kindle book first. Some then offer the audio book for a discount, I've even seen as low as $3.99 for some books, though most are more and some offer no discount.
2. buy an audible subscription. I had a lot of books I wanted, so I bought the 1 year 24 book subscription all…

99% Yes, with 1 very minor caveat:

One more - whispersync for Kindle <—> Audible. I like reading the text, but often listen to books. When I get really into an Audible book, and then have some time to sit down and read the climax of the book, this feature is wonderful.

Aside from spur of the moment pics of my daughter, taking pictures of something I was too lazy to write down: Order of sample tubes in the lab, grocery list, etc.

I used to walk 20-30 minutes to get to work (~2 miles with a few lights)
Now I drive 12-30 minutes to work (9 miles, but sometimes traffic)

I see your point, but I still contend that if you are so short that any job issue prevents you from making the minimum on your credit cards and paying just for basic needs is a gamble. If you have a super stable job it might be worth it, but realize that not having a safety net of at least a month or two of monthly…
