If people followed that advice, then discussion forums would be lonely places ... Smart people get their advice from multiple sources. Everybody has the right to make their own choices about when to include forums in that mix. I seem to remember someone on this forum instructing others quite...

I love the bespoke bunk bed on your website. Do you ever apply similar skills to outfitting a van?

I met a couple doing that once (as a short-term tourism thing) -- they were happy with it.

Good advice. Something else someone said to me once was, don't worry so much about what to say, being a good listener will get you 90% of the way. That took a lot of the pressure off for 20-something-year-old me to stop trying to impress people. The fact that you find someone interesting is...

So excited, FINALLY saw javelinas on my morning walk! There were two of them, walking down "my" sidewalk, I crossed the street to give them some space. My landlord hates 'em b/c they get into his trash but I had not seen a single one since I moved here. The neighbor two houses down leaves out...

Two weeks from now I will be in the airport. I just finished up everything I can do on the to-do list until a couple days before, so now I have time for :oops::oops::oops:. It is 11 years since I went abroad, and 11 years before that, and another 11 years before that. In the back of my mind I...

Oh yeah ... plus I have no paper records for tax purposes. Can't imagine what could possibly go wrong with /that/ system!

Explain "bubble juice thing" please? Do you have a recipe for bubble-blowing stuff that actually works? I spent a frustrating afternoon once trying all the advice on those $%^&* mommy blogs and nothing worked. All my bubbles either popped immediately or dropped straight to the floor. Until...

Clearly you have the most important equpiment , a sense of humor!

I usually put my things inside a small dry-bag and put that inside a fanny pack. It's all stuff I don't plan to access while I'm on the water but want to have with just in case. I've ~given up on trying to take photos while I'm kayaking, would rather just enjoy the paddle --- but if you want to...

Hey all, In some states you can register to vote all the way up to election day. In other states, the deadlines are coming up quickly. Here is a government website where you can check your state's deadline, make sure you're registered to vote, and get help registering...

Oh good, I'm glad I'm not the onlly one.

You're making total sense, and that's why it's a good thing that you're thinking about it in advance. For starters, don't worry about what looks your co-workers give you. If that's what you want to do, do it! It sounds great to me and will to 99% of everyone here, too. If that's the only thing...
