I’ve scheduled an appointment at the store to get that done. But I’m afraid I might have water-damaged my phone unintentionally. It still works just fine for my needs. But I’m pretty sure the heat management is a little bit off even though I don’t have a case on it. I also definitely want something with more on-board…

I usually just turn off my phone when going after I have landed and texted everyone who needs to be contacted. If they want your phone data after you turn your phone off, they need your password. Which on my travel-phone is an alphanumeric monster. 

Well you know what they say about creatures with no hands... 

I also love my SE... Thinking about buying another before it goes the way of the Dodo. People are always astounded when I just use my phone one-handed. As if it’s magic to have a phone that just does what it needs to?

Part of this is the economic inequality that runs rampant. Depending on which state you live in or where you are born, your access to basic things like an education and healthcare could be wildly different, because the economic realities, racial mix, religious, and political cultures are very different. It’s easier to…

I have family in the UK and Europe. Until they come for a visit to the US, they usually have no concept of the distances involved with everyday life here.

Pretty sure his name’s James...

You assume all parents want what is best for their children.

1) Have low expectations and an open mind.

I just visited Hawkins, IN... in a time machine.

The one addendum I would have to this article:

I wasn’t on that flight, but the embarrassment of looking like that is totally worth it. Not feeling all tight, dry, and then breaking out the next day during the important meeting or family event on arrival costs a few bucks in face masks. Definitely cheaper than getting a facial to fix the consequences after the…

I like them better than carrying on other skincare, because they take up less space in the liquids bag. For me it is usually a Sheet Mask and some sort of mini-hydrating mist/essence. 

Usually my flights are of the 10-14 hour range. So it generally takes a lot for me not to go stir crazy. Noise-cancelling headphones (good ones!) are a must. they make the whole flight a lot less exhausting.

I’m about the size of your wife. I’ve only had luck pants-wise in certain designer brands in their version of “skinny” cropped styles. They expect you to hem all of your own pants and then just deal with the fact that the knee break is in the wrong spot.

Sometimes we like seeing your legs and knowing that we aren’t partnered with a schlubby potato sack.

Is the per season number 50 million yuan or 5 million? If it’s supposed to be 50 million yuan wouldn’t that be something like 7.25 million dollars when it was converted?

I’m Indian-American. Honestly, most dishes can be made correctly with however much heat you want. Even in different households within my family where we all cook the same dishes, we eat different levels of spiciness. Adjusting the heat in a dish is a simple matter of changing or de-seeding chiles, then changing the…

Ever since moving to Florida, my dad’s turned into a Democrat and protests about the lack of water quality warnings when there is an algae bloom at the lakes and beaches he likes.
