I've been trying to record a short video every year for my wife, should I pass. I read somewhere that hearing a voice is the hardest thing to remember over time. I keep them in a folder on my desktop called "In the event of my unt

I would love to buy a little Suzuki flatbed truck. I have bad legs, so crawling into the back of a standard American (read: TALL) pickup is impossible, and even getting into one as a passenger is a challenge.

That was not the Harrison Barnes I was expecting. I spent a good few minutes figuring out why he'd be checking out a college with no D1 basketball program.

I have a genetic condition that I had 'under control' until I got COVID. Went from being OK to being crippled over the course of 2 years. Doesn't impact my job too much since I'm at a computer most days, but I find mysel

When I was 8 or 9, I wanted to be an assassin. I taught myself to walk silently on the balls of my feet everywhere I went, I learned to control my breathing and steady my hands (I would practice by doing something like running to the barn a

I've never had a problem. Mine's 4 years old, though, so maybe they changed in the past few years.

Who cares about my ancestors? I never understood that or the whole 'leaving a legacy' bit. Just want to live my life and fade away like I was never there.

No. My mother told me on my 12th birthday not to make the same mistake she did and it wasn't worth the sacrifices. Got fixed in my early 20s (I'm in my mid-40s now). My wife is disgusted by pregnancy and never wanted to put herse

Two Incomes, No Kids is really an easy-mode shortcut to life. My wife and I can fully devote ourselves to our hobbies and interests without shame or judgement. All of these parenting articles sound exhausting for the participants.

My wife and I spent a week in New England and were enchanted with New Hampshire and Vermont. We gave zillow a quick look, had a hearty guffaw, and crossed that off the list of possibilities.

I would love an updated version of Aerobiz Supersonic. That game was incredible, but every other airport/airline sim doesn't scratch the itch for me.

I lived in St Louis for almost a decade and never got used to what they call 'pizza'. I argue with my wife about it (she grew up there): I say it's just cracker dough with pizza toppings, but she insists it's legitimate.

I agree with a lot of principles of Servant Leadership, but boy is that ever a cringy name. I don't 'serve' anybody. It gives me the icks.

I have a genetic degenerative joint condition. Ever since I had COVID, I've been on a speedrun to decrepitude. I have my leg braces and a cane, and I can still do my job. BUT IT'S EXHAUSTING. And Frustrating. 80% is my new 100%, a

I'm a sucker for Kairosoft simulations. They cost between $4-7, New Game + is always fun, and they're all fairly similar, so there's a comfort in the routine.

I've been a librarian for 20 years and have watched the decline of children's literacy firsthand. Here's my random thoughts: 1) No Child Left Behind really siloed the schools: Back in the early 2000s, partnering with schools

Got let go a week after closing on a house. Learned the true value of hard work and loyalty, as my network shunned me and I stumbled around for a few years in a new career. Thankfully my wife's income let us run only a little in the re

When you have to move around a lot, having a big national bank makes it easy to not have to switch your accounts every year. I spent the majority of my 20s/early 30s bouncing around from city to city and there was always a Wells Fargo.

I never wanted kids. Hated being a child, my parents didn't want me, but were culturally pressured to do so (Dad: "Your mother got pregnant to try and trap me." Mom: "Having kids is just what you did back then."), a

Shi Ba Zi Zuo Chinese chef's knife (cleaver). Extremely versatile, holds a great edge. Probably my favorite knife in my kitchen and I give them out for Christmas/birthdays/graduations all the time.
