I have three with one on the way. It’s a constant struggle to keep the place livable. Before I had children I was not a neat person and kept things livable by not doing things that made mess and staying out as much as possible. Can’t do that with kids, so what’s the trick?
The only way we’ve kept our place livable is to get the kids to clean at an early age. If they can get a toy out, they can put it back. We started out doing most of it alongside them and giving lots of praise for every toy they move in the right direction. Then half of it alongside them while encouraging them. Now we have little helpers who will put piles of books and toys away to watch a movie, and routines of clearing the living room floor before dinner. Things aren’t spotless, their play room is more piles of sorted toys than really clean and cleared, but the place is livable.
I was thinking about how I missed having an indoor thermometer that measures humidity. It’s such a small specific thing, one I’d never think of getting unless pushed to it (which I was by one particularly dry winter). But I like having one now....
Setting for 8 minutes means that it will heat up, build pressure, then start the 8 minute timer. It then beeps loudly when the time is up, so no need to set a separate timer or keep track of the thing.
Yes, if the cost is low enough that the price per Kw is less, I think we would find more places to put it. On fences, on balconies, on rooftops of course, on awnings for parking spaces, on gazebos as a shade curtain, on pavilion rooftops… Yeah
My dream is to own my own business (just kidding–own several businesses), but I’m currently experiencing financial hardship. After frantically looking for work for over a year with a network that let me down, I finally managed to find part-time work at a local nonprofit....
My suggestion is the Ken Coleman show, or any one of his books as audiobooks.
He takes calls and gives advice to the callers. In between calls, he talks a lot about building up a network, finding a career where you can succeed, and doing something that motivates you.
Edit: he’s associated with Dave Ramsey, so if you don’t like one you probably won’t like the other.
Having understood that it’s an awful comic with an irrelevant main character, I’m still confused on why it’s worth put any effort into editing these comics?
I’d prefer to shop a little at a time through the year getting small meaningful gifts for a few people, and I wish Christmas music only played for 5 days or less. There are too few songs, and it’s too hard to introduce new ones, let them wait until the last minute to play that loop of songs full of covers.
Instead, the season keeps stretching out, it’s exhausting.
I work with a person that went presented with a problem, works through it and arrives at the wrong solution. When I have them show me the steps they took, it seems like they interpret things incorrectly. This isn’t a language barrier, and it’s not like they aren’t reading what someone wrote....
From the way this post is written, I think you don’t realize how vague your communication style is. Too many possible interpretations of what you said makes it hard to even follow the story you laid out.
Who emailed who about what?
How did someone resend an email that someone else sent?
Re-sending would mean the same coworker sent the email twice.
On rereading, I think you meant that one coworker sent an email to the client, then another coworker that you are having trouble with also sent the same email to the same client.
So, to answer your question, I think they arrive at a different conclusion because they see things differently. Anything that can be interpreted differently will be interpreted differently. The other co workers think they’re giving this person set values when in fact they’re handing them a set of variables and expecting only one result.
Yes, it was too vague. OP may have set a tone that doesn’t allow for clarifying questions, or the coworker honestly thought they were carrying out every step exactly as it was told to them and didn’t see the need for clarification.
Price range for retail seems to be $100-250 for IKEA stuff that will fall apart in 3 years, or $1,000+ for something better. Is there nothing in between? Would prefer to buy new with risk of bed bugs or other contaminants but open to other options if I’m missing something.
Habitat for Humanity, estate sales, garage sales, or build your own.
There’s also cruising affluent neighborhoods around the time the trash company picks up large items. For the low low price of embarrassment, you can get quality stuff for free.
Absolutely. Sometimes I consider getting a separate Bluetooth keyboard, but I seriously doubt it would be similar enough to scratch the itch. I really miss knowing exactly where all the keys are by feel and typing without looking.
Now that I’ve seen this… Most of the things people want out of a dumb phone can be accomplished by putting an android on ultra power saving mode. Except physical keyboards.
Parents of multiple children, how do you keep your home clean?

People who own typewriters, what is your favorite use for it?
Is it a note-taking station? Is it a decoration only? Is it your regular journal? Is it a shopping list maker? Is it on display or tucked away?...
