This isn't new though. It might just be that she's an introvert. I grew up in the 80s and 90s, and I had the freedom to go pretty much where I pleased, and where I pleased was in my room with a book, or copying programs out of boo

I've never smoked, but I agree with you on the vaping not feeling very addictive. I vape all day while I'm working (I work from home), but I don't take my vape with me when I leave the house, and while I occasionally have a t

I've never been a smoker, but I do like vaping. Nicotine is a useful chemical when it's not accompanied by all the junk that comes with burning adulterated plant matter. I self-medicate with it for ADD. It helps me focus, more tha

My employer-provided insurance is UHC, which has a preferred partner situation with OptumRX, a mailorder pharmacy. They give you better rates on your prescription copay if you use them. The mail turn-around time is not great though. It&#x27

I'll be honest, if what happened in that meeting happened to me, I'd probably start crying. And I'd start looking for a new job that night. There are far better ways that manager could have made his point than "You'

I don't often get those, though I did once have a dream-within-a-dream combined with sleep paralysis that was like seven dreams deep. I took a nap on the couch. Woke up on the couch, could not move. Woke up on the couch, could wiggle m

I've had similar dreams as well. They usually only happen when I'm extremely stressed. It's usually my teeth falling out, and oh is the sensation of loose teeth rolling around in my mouth both vivid and horrifying. One time i

I'm not having children. There are a lot of reasons. 1) I'm a woman married to another woman. Yes, one of us could get a donor, but it's one more hurdle, and it means we won't ever have one accidentally. 2) Debt. We&#x27

That's why traditional GTD has the daily/weekly review steps. You look over your tasks, and make sure they align with your longer term goals, and decide if the things on your list really help you achieve them.

I've gotten burned out pretty hard before, and also struggle with depression. It's not a very exciting answer, but mine is "I'm good at it and it pays better than anything else someone would be willing to pay me to do ev

My suggestion was more about sleep quality than quantity. If you have undiagnosed sleep apnea, you are probably not getting sufficient sleep no matter how long you're in the bed.

* Drugs - you may have to try a few to find what works for you. Cymbalta worked for me for a while, but then I slipped back hard. Now I have Abilify in addition to the Cymbalta and I'm doing much better. * Sunlight. Get outside. I have

My favorite from childhood, and which still holds up quite well as an adult, is Once on a Time, by AA Milne (same author as the Winnie the Pooh stories).

I think it comes down to a combination of money and perishability. Healthy food is expensive and perishable. Carby snacks are cheap and have a long shelf life.

You should know how S2 ends at least because S2 ends on a cliffhanger involving Coop that S3 picks up. And maybe give S2 a second chance while fast-forwarding through every scene with James in it, because he has no impact on anything else a

Add another anecdote on to that - I had the same experience. Got a kitten, got a lot of playful scratches when she was still too young to understand gentle play. The scratches would welt up. Now my cat allergies are significantly reduced.

I've read that many senior living communities have huge STD issues, because all the old folks are having fun and not bothering with condoms because they're all past reproductive age.

When I was a kid, there was a small flavored-popcorn-and-candy shop called Karmelkorn in our town. They made fresh Turkish Delight (along with popcorn, marzipan, and other candies) in the store, and it was always my favorite treat. They had

Thank you. I've added that book to my wishlist, it sounds really interesting. Don't really ever have to worry about landslides in Florida (just hurricanes and sinkholes).

That sucks. Around here at least most of the areas that need controlled burns are sparsely populated due to it mostly being federal parkland[1]. Anyway, I guess we have sufficient political will here in Florida, or at least we do after we s

Here in Florida, those forest fires are required for some of the tree species in the endangered Florida scrub[1] and sandhill[2] ecosystems to germinate, in addition to clearing out space for smaller plants to thrive. Florida has a pretty r

Well, mostly, it's because they're not mass-produced. The type that I collect are made from polyurethane resin, which has to be handcast in silicone rubber molds. Each doll is made of 15+ individually cast pieces (at minimum - two

Not toys, think more along the lines of art dolls. They aren't for kids, they cost anywhere from $$$ to $$$$ a piece.

True, the wording is pretty vague. I assume it's a CYA-clause for Storenvy so they're not liable if someone sells something illegal somewhere. IANAL either though, so who knows. It looks like Etsy's policy is a little more ex

By "internet circles I run in" I'm talking about the ball-jointed doll hobby, so probably 90% of the products we're talking about are handmade doll clothes and wigs. The dolls themselves are usually made of polyurethane

Etsy first started losing their appeal when they gave up even pretending to not allow Alibaba resellers, and lost the "hand-made" distinction that made their site unique. Currently they're going through a round of "let&#
