I don’t have crafts that would require a tube, and if i did i could get one from work or elsewhere. I was finding my recycling bin in the bathroom would fill with tubes in what felt like a week (though in reality it was probably longer) and i just couldn’t abide generating that much waste that often. When i lived…

Nope, none of these. The ONLY thing that drives my TP purchases since i know they existed: CENTER TUBE FREE. Holy cats finding the tube free version of TP has changed my life. I hated hated hated those from the day i was old enough to change a toilet roll.

Sure, i concur. But most humans still need groceries, for example, so if you find a mantra like “no one cares that deeply” and it gets you through the trauma of being near a stranger at the vegetable case, well, that’s a good thing not a bad thing.

IMHO.

I shower at home about every 3 days since i cheat and use the gym shower 1-2 times a week. Non hair-washing showers last 1 song or less. Hair washing showers are 2-4 songs. The boy on the other hand is the shower hog, since he showers at LEAST every day, though his are shorter than before now that he no longer shaves…

It won’t work for everybody, but i got over my crippling social anxiety in my 20s and 30s kind of suddenly in my early 30s. One day i was doing something in public that i hated (grocery shopping? Riding the T? Something...) and had an interaction with someone who was grumpy and rude. I don’t know what triggered it,…

It’s German for, “The Bart, the.”

Oh man i neeeeed this. I have 1 goal for the next year: Clean and repair house enough to sell it. Obviously every time i do one small thing like spackle a nail hole or replace an outlet cover i feel a sense of accomplishment, but overall the task just overwhelms me to the point of panic attacks and nightmares :(

If your body works this way, then great. In grad school for a year or two i naturally awoke around 6-630 and was at work by 7. Great.

I do this too, in the form of a rolling amazon cart. I throw things on there as i notice i need them - vacuum belt, garbage bags, work shoes, etc - and limit myself to 1 order a month, 2 if it’s something time sensitive like a critical repair. Probably 90 % of the things i want and 50 % of the things i “need” never…

I’ve sort of done this, but it’s not the most unbiased feedback. The people hooked up to IV chemotherapy are usually pretty grateful to be getting treatment, so they tend to be rather effusive with their praise. Though, the nasty side effects can be depressing.

I’m mostly kidding. I’ve never literally said to someone…

I just started Digit in May, and i just bought a car 3 weeks ago. Having that $800 to replenish my savings after clearing it out for the down payment was very nice :)

I actually only paid cash for 1 thing in August >_> And the 70 odd cents is in my car to replenish change for parking meters.

(If i get cash out from the bank i normally put it in the kitchen drawer for groceries, and then Manfriend takes it and uses it to do the shopping because he’s in school full time and has free…

This is amazing. I have been buying Terra chips lately as my post-workout late night (we don’t get out of practice until 9 and i have a 30 minute drive afterwards) salt and carb bolus. If i can reduce the calorie intake of that snack, this would be a huge improvement!

Try as i might, i have never figured out the purpose of flesh toned makeup. I had to cancel my ipsy bag, because the majority of the eye shadows were variations on “invisible on my skin” beige. Once in a while i might throw one some under my eyes as a concealer, but for the most part i give them away if i accidentally…

One of my internet favorite images of all time:

Yup, anything we refused to eat was our sole option at every meal until we ate it. Brother and i only tried that maybe twice each in our entire lives. And now, other than 2-3 things we’re both moderately allergic to, we will honestly eat anything reasonable.

To each their own. I’ve been to major cities (NYC, Vegas, Chicago, Detroit, London, Paris, Singapore,etc) and while i’ll go there for an important event, it’s not because i want to.

I have 3 solid rules on vacation, and if i break one of them more than say, twice, it’s not relaxing for me:

1. Not drive a car the…

I learned several years back that if i arrive home on a Thursday and work that Friday, it’s almost the same as extending the vacation by an entire weekend. That first day back is rarely conducive to lab work, so it’s mostly an email, paperwork, notebook and networking (i.e. socializing) day. It means Monday i can…

It might depend on the beach. My parents live on Lake Michigan, so we do absolutely spend our vacation days on the beach. Playing badminton, nature walks, kayaking, frisbee, touch football, sand castles, napping, reading. At night we bonfire, play board games, grill, flashlight tag, moonlight walks.  As long as you…

Yeah, i have a DNA tattoo i can cover up, but don’t. Granted, this is customer meetings, not job interviews, but i’m still being judged based on my work first, my communication second, and my appearance dead freaking last. Most customers adore it - one used turned to it first when a different team member didn’t know…
