Oh, so do you attempt needlepoint in the back seat of a cab in New York city?
There are some places you just can’t do stuff. Using a laptop on a tray table in coach is one of them. Get used to it.

Hey! You know the seat is supposed to recline. Why don’t you take action before we do, rather than making us stand up, look over our seat, and ask “excuse me sir, can you move your rudely placed laptop/drink/Ipad so I can recline my paid seat like it’s designed?”

Cry me a river bean-pole. Learn to deal with it, spend the money on first class, or take a train. We all have our crosses to bear.

I think the biggest thing no one mentions is that sometimes you won’t like being a parent. Sometimes you won’t like your child. Sometimes you won’t want to come home from work. Sometimes you won’t like your partner because of something involving the child.

Isaac Asimov predicted a future in many of his stories, where the world was so crowded that people wore masks in public, just to have some privacy. I wonder how soon that will happen so people can avoid facial recognition?

I do the same thing, but use a bendy straw. The end of the straw can be flattened to slip between the ziplock opening, and slide out quickly while locking it closed. And the bendy part allows you to lay the bag flat on the counter as you suck out the air.

Personally, I wouldn’t bother with cutting curve in the table legs. And I think it might be easier to mount the templates on cardboard, rather than MDF. But overall, it looks like some pretty cool plans!

I would think that if you own the tools used in this video, you would have some way of getting lumber to your house. Also, at 2:50 in the video, he explains how to cut the plywood into 4 sections to make it easier to deal with. You could have this done at the lumberyard for a small fee (or free).

Why would there be a shipping cost involved? Isn’t the assumption that you would just buy the plywood locally?

I know. I’ve been working for 30 years and still haven’t reached that salary.

Well, if you live in the suburbs, there usually isn’t a “remote location” that’s convenient

Someone needs to make a grocery store version of Google Streetview, except with the aisles of the grocery store. Then we can organize our lists better before we leave the house!

It’s funny, my coworkers and I all got calls from our financial advisers wanting to ally our fears when the market took a big dip. And all of us said “I’m fine” because we’re in it for the long haul.

Best shower ‘head’ indeed! :)

Agreed. Pick a food you like. Pick a beer/wine/drink you like.

Is it only me who never understood this? Maybe my taste buds are just too uncultured. To me, food and drink are separate things. I’ve had food and wine that are supposed to go well together, and also the opposite. Tastes just the same - no better and no worse. One doesn’t compliment the other. The tastes are…

I really wish I could get these cheaply with candelabra-size bases. That’s what all the ceiling fan light kits have now.

I don’t know, was your mom a stripper? Cause my date was a waitress from the strip club!

I always liked talking to kids more than adults. They have no expectations.

After-school care. It’s easy to forget that a child’s school day ends long before your work day, until they are of school age and it suddenly hits you. I highly reccommend using a Dependent Care Savings account if your company offers one. It allows you to put aside the money before taxes to pay for childcare.
