Reply to LPT: calling someone first time on the phone and no answer, LEAVE A MESSAGE by skunksmasher
Totally agree. I don't answer any unknown calls. Text me or leave a message if it is your first time contacting me. If not, then it must not be important.

Reply to LPT tie a couple bobbles/hair ties around your hairbrush. You won’t loose them and there gonna be there when you need it by [deleted]
I put mine on the gear shifter in my car. I don’t always bring my brush with me but I usually have my car (especially at times where I’d need to tie my hair up like for work) and it hasn’t failed me yet.

Reply to LPT: Any sudden change in vision (floaters, flashes of light, blackened corners of your sight) are a medical emergency by northshore21
This happened to me. Thought I just needed new contacts but it was my retina detaching. I’m young and healthy and this can happen to anyone. Surgery saved my vision.

Man I wish I had thought to do an interview with my dad about his life before he passed. I’d cherish it so deeply. The real tip is in the comments, conduct an in in depth interview with your elderly / /dying loved ones about their lives

Reply to LPT: A good financial habit to get into is treating money as hours of work. Ask yourself how many hours of work something would take if you buy it. The awareness of the amount of time you put into purchases helps reduce compulsive spending. by humvee911
I often use this when I'm contemplating spending money, from going out to eat to something bigger. As I've gotten older, the hours required are fewer. Sometimes the purchase is only a few minutes of work. So then I weigh that time versus the time I would enjoy the expense. If it seems like a good deal, I'll often take it.
You only live once, and as long as I can afford it, I'd rather enjoy my life. That doesn't mean I'm irresponsible with money. But I'm not just living for the future. I don't want to get there and regret not enjoying this time now.

I pretty much don't delete any emails or voicemails or messages from people I know. It's amazing the amount of stuff I can find from 10 or 15 years ago. It really doesn't take up that much space. I honestly don't know why people get so obsessed about deleting messages and stuff. One of the interesting things about listening to really old messages is that I notice I may get something different out of it now than I did 15 years ago. It's hard to explain, but whatever the person says might tell me something I didn't think of back then, but I think of now. It's super interesting.
