Double hourly wage and add 3 zeros or divide salary by 2 and subtract 3 zeros. Quick way to estimate.

Reply to LPT: Just let go of all the small grudges from the passed. Its really not worth hanging onto and it will hold you back.. always by [deleted]
Emotionally let go of grudges, yes. Logically let go of grudges, it depends.
Do not let the grudge rule your life. It isn't with wasting your emotional energy on something trivial.
But grudges can be logical. Depending on the grudge, it could be good for you to hold onto it. If someone is toxic, it might be best to just stay away from them. Perhaps it makes sense not to lend a person money who has a habit of making poor choices with that money.
A grudge by the nature of the word implies emotion. But often the reason for the emotion has bearings in logic and safety. It was the emotion that finally allowed you to make the right choice. Letting go of the emotion doesn't mean you should go back on the choice.

You'd be surprised. I usually got "idk. Shorter." When I asked what they wanted. Sometimes I'd try asking how long it's been since their last cut to get an idea of how much has grown out but then I'd just get a shrug.
Usually the easy ones were the guys that came straight from outdoor work that have been getting the exact same cut since they were kids (or at least most of their adult lives)

Nah. There's nothing wrong with saying "0-3 on the sides, drop the fade at the back and 2 inches on the top". At least you're being clear with what you want.

Not directly, no. But an overdose that causes inflammation and diarrhea can, apparently. The vet basically said a buildup of "bad" bacteria overwhelmed the "good" bacteria (this is after weeks of blood and fecal tests). Six months of twice-daily Tylosin that we had to wean him off, and over a year of prescribed probiotics got him to a point where he can at least eat his sensitive food without issues.

If you are paid around $37.50 an hour, it will show as $1.50 too high. I think OP’s point is that you can put the calculator away and quickly calculate your approx annual gross by doubling the hourly rate and adding three zeros: eg $40 per hour will be approx $80,000 per year.

I hate that different hair cutting schools teach different methods. I haven't been able to find someone that cut my hair right for almost a decade.

People... don't do that? I've literally used that exact form of wording every cut since I 'chose' my own hair styles as a child.

Actually had to explain this to someone when looking at a cat! Best case it’s a 20 year commitment to bringing a living being into my home - I‘m gone need to sleep on that.

Our community does the free first visit and it's wonderful! I've had access to this program while adopting pets over the past 20 years and always appreciated it, but sort of took it for granted that other places don't have it. We are very lucky! Plus our regular vet accepts the free first visit so it's the beginning of a long term relationship.

I suppose we're talking two different areas of planning. Mine is budgeting, yours is bureaucracy.

Buy from someone you know, or a friend of a friend. When I know my vehicle is going to need replacing soon, I start letting everyone I trust know that I’m in the market for a solid used vehicle.
Every vehicle I’ve acquired through this process has been reliable and affordable.

But do it only if you like the result… Otherwise you will end up again with the same regret.

If you’re making $20k/month, and your expenses are low I agree you are rich.
I’ve seen people who make $50k/month and are poorer than poor. They are flat broke because they spend spend spend.
I’ve also seen people who make $5k/month and have tons of money because they are frugal and smart with their money.
Sounds like you’ve got the best of both situations.

All financial decisions in your life that require an official check of your finances with the bank, government, or charity is based on 2080 working hours. Or an average of your last few paychecks.

With all these talk s about AI ( artificial intelligence ) I really like a idea of this one robot who gives you that perfect cut every time.
