I hope and pray to marry somebody like you who thinks up the little stuff to improve the entire mood.

But April 2 is a normal day.

Sleep with a pillow under your knees. Maintain good posture especially when sitting for too long, like while driving.

I fractured my L4 as a teenager

YOU ARE IN DANGERRRRRrrrrrRrrr

/s

But that corn cob pizza crust was real though, right?

"It's not you vs. them. It's you and them vs. the problem."

I was at a work trip in the UK and for some reason the Uber driver told me that they know when the flights come in and they all turn off their app to make the rates go higher.

I was very annoyed at that. Even though my trip was 100% covered by my company, what about the times I'm just traveling on my own?

I didn't tip the guy. Fuck that shit.

'you lose some weight?' has never gotten me in any trouble.

obviously wouldn't ever say anything like that to a stranger. but never say anything about anyone's appearance? seems a little dramatic.

In college a professor told us a story about visiting colleagues in the UK.

One of them mentioned to him that Americans like to go straight to that question and for him to hold off on asking people what they do for a living.

He said once it was far into the evening the colleague asked him what he thought of everybody and he said everyone was nice and it was a treasure to meet everyone.

Afterwards he went on to tell him what everyone did for a living and he was surprised about everyone's profession because he would have never guessed based on the conversations he had with them.

He said it was refreshing not knowing one's profession as you end up judging a person based on that information.

This professor was old, so I'm sure 20 years ago in college for me, it was 20 - 30+ years ago for him.

I know. It was intended to be a lighthearted comment, even though I meant it.

Classic Dave Chappelle, baby!

It’s a really fun bit!

I’m currently adding dual white led strips to all my rooms. They’re controlled by Home Assistant on my home server. There’s a script that runs that is constantly assigning color temperature and brightness based on the sun. So when I turn on my lights in the middle of the day, they’re full bright daylight. At night they slowly ramp down brightness and warm up as the sun sets. When I turn on my tv the strips that cause reflections turn off and the other strips dim. I can still control them with a switch or my voice, but ideally they just do what I want automatically. It’s great so far

And thats why its a broken system lol you are 100% correct it does happen all the time. Its bull shit

Silly nickeypants. Only 30 days in March.

I recommend going online and getting a mattress with a free trial period.

I went through 4 mattresses until I found the one that worked for me.

The only downside is that it costs like $90 for them to ship out another one and they pick up the current one.

However it's worth it instead of buying a bed you can't take back and continuing with the same issue.

Been there, done that.

Absolutely worth it to get a good noise app (even if it costs a bit). They offer, white, pink, and all kinds of other noise that does different things (e.g. dampen other noise, emulate nature, etc).

Our puppy died when he was just twelve months old. My kids were 5 and 9. We told them he “had died”.

The five year old was sad and cried. She told everyone the “Buster died”. A few months later she asked “When is Buster coming back?”

So I think I would add “Buster died and we won’t see him again” or something similar so they understood it is finite. Otherwise they’re just in a sadness holding pattern

Watch its animals evolve over time and eventually you'll literally have made friends 👍

I agree with this. Some people will read this as rules for them to follow with friends and acquaintances, but for some reason it’s open-season for family members.

So, I have tried something for the past year or so and after 8:30 pm or so I try to have whatever room I am in as dim as possible. That means keeping any mobile devices on night setting, sitting as far away from a bright light source as possible and using a salt lamp nightlight in the bedroom instead of a reading lamp by the bed. As a result, I find myself falling asleep much faster and sleeping deeper than I would otherwise. In effect, simulating a long period of twilight instead of abruptly going from a brightly lit living room into a dark bedroom to sleep. It’s really helped me overall, I have to say.

I made the mistake of sincerely complimenting a well toned girl on her "big calves" at a garden party. That did not go over well. One of my fondest memories.
