I feel OLD right now...we built our desktops for college haha, Anyways, I’d highly recommend AGAINST getting a Surface, not because it won’t work, on the contrary I think it will work well, but the difference between a laptop for college and once you have an 8-5 - the expected ‘life span’. In college I built one…

Figured I’d poke my head in and look. See Seagate hdd, NOPE NOT GON BE ABLE TO DO IT!

I grew up with a father who often spent Saturday working, so when I joined the work force, I put my foot down on working on Saturdays. Vacation is the exact same way. I’ve been pushed a little bit before hand getting ready for vacation, but for the most part it’s never been on overload or anything ridiculously stupid.…

Yeah, it was the new OS that caused the hiccups, once I reset and did it clean, FB crashed ‘once’ and that’s been it, it’s gone back to stable, which is what I want from a phone. Phones should be stable, reliable, quick, and accessible. If it has other things it can do, GREAT! But really, all the stuff for tracking…

I hit the wall you are talking about a LONG time ago. It first happened on desktops, and its the same thing with phones. I’m ironically cycling ‘back’ to where I was when smartphones were young and keyboards were tangible - I just want good service, affordable service, and better battery life. I don’t wantt them…

Well cutting corners actually works rather well. So does saying no. If they are going to an amusement park and I can’t afford it, I an up and say I can’t afford it. If they want to go to dinner, then I get a “water on the rocks”, and instead of focusing on food, I’m focused on conversation so I order usually the…

I need a part 2 for homes...

I disagree with the last one. Freedom of life financially is tied to income vs expenses, and that not being ‘great’ isn’t a sign of poor management. My best friend and his wife wanted (needed) to save up at least half a year of income for emergencies, so for several years, he was functionally deadbroke, but when his…

My household is interesting financially, I’m the bread winner, I like spending money more, I have the awesome credit score, and my job as a project manager has me pretty much into finances all the time, yet my wife handles most of our finances haha. I think the article is 100% correct in that emotion should be…

What folks never seem to grasp is the sheer idea of ‘diet’ if a temporary thing, something an athlete will do during the offseason, or a model a few weeks before a major shoot. IMO the MOST important thing is to figure out how to make your personal lifestyle healthier. Period. I LOVE that the article points out that -…

I’ve got to be honest, I still don’t see the point of them making this a ‘conference’...same goes with the phone and tablet updates...the tech isn’t improving enough for it to REALLY matter outside of trying ot get headlines...

I’m on #2, 4 years and a 4 month. You covered most of the things, what I would like to add/emphasize though is taking care of yourself, and not just via breaks. When sitting down or laying down with them, make sure you’re comfortable first, before worrying about them, it will help your overall stress levels. My…

Yeah, metal skewers are what I prefer, but of course I only own like 6 or 8 of them, and the article is 100% right, if it cooks at a different speed, put it on a different skewer, so I’ll have my beef, I’ll have my chicken, I’ll have my onions and green peppers, I’ll have my pineapple (got to have grilled fruit…

The normal trick is to soak them in water, I just don’t have time, when I get home, its take the work shirt off and fire up the grill, so everything needs to be ready, the only exception being if things need to hit room temp (not likely as I usually pick it up on the way home) or if it needs to brine (always brine my…

Ironically, the last time I didn’t have time to marinade, my grill ran out of gas about 15 seconds in...and I had no back-up. (at the time). Didn’t feel like going back out so I just recovered and let it sit in the sauce I made. God was like “You’re going to marinade that meat!”. I just made a quick sauce with soy…

The most important thing IMO is understanding why you want to quit. Is it effort or reality. I’ve been busting my ass trying to make it as a musician, but I’ve got a full time with two kids and a sizeable house, so I can’t just got AWOL because I am supporting a family, I don’t have all the time in the world because I…

It’s so painful it hurts...

First, after reading the description of “Value Line” I had to stop reading and do a romantic comedy ending style slow clap, that was PERFECTLY described. It is a very real and sometimes tangible line in the sand that I’ve discussed from a DIY stand point. the only caveat to it it if you are way way way over the value…

For the kabobs, I often let the meat marinate over at least one night, so I’ll let the meat get some marinade, then stick it with the wooden sticks, then let it marinade more. When it hits the grill the sticks sopped up the marinade as well, so - so long as it isn’t oil based, the sticks stay wet and don’t burn.

I almost bit on this (>_<)‘
