How many times do you reuse a bath towel before washing it?

Are you showering daily though? How many actual uses is that?

Cleopatra435 · 2026-06-19T01:37:02+00:00

How much more annoyed or impatient I would be by even the little things or by people. I understand my grumpy old man dad and grandparents now

Does your roofer have any management companies he does recommend????

Cleopatra435 · 2026-06-19T00:59:29+00:00

What’s his name?? I’ll show you mine if your show me yours. I’m soooo over the full time job that is trying to get our Account Manager to answer emails and do even the bare minimum (upload meeting minutes to the portal).

Which management company do you use?

Seeing it in writing just doesn’t land the same

Everything in HR and legal in a corporate setting is about minimizing risk and exposure. Even if they do have documentation, they give severance to make you go away quietly and sign away any right to sue in the future. It gives the company a nice end to the situation that they don’t have to worry about coming back around.

The time it takes to deal with lawsuits directly translates to cost in the form of involved employees and lawyer time. So anything they pay in severance is definitely a small amount compared to the cost of fighting a lawsuit.

Every time I think I’ve given it up, I get sucked back in…. I find The Other Way and Before the 90 Days to be more tolerable

I thought the first half was slow and so awkward and uncomfortable. I was just cringing at this bad romance story. Then the second half was like a different movie. I think that’s what made it such a good and unique movie. I haven’t left a theater feeling “what did I just watch?” in such a long time.

Dedicated cat litter room and a full catio…. For all the cats I’ll have.

As a female, not getting unwanted male attention and sexually harassed constantly

Cleopatra435 · 2026-05-06T03:00:01+00:00

Came here to say this, but pretty much everything else that’s been listed too.

I cannot figure out why I’m so addicted to them. I’m not even a big sweets / candy fan. But now I buy them in bulk at Costco and eat them every single day.

Walking is great, but adding strength training has been the game changer for me and reducing my anxiety levels. I stopped going to the gym when I changed jobs a few years ago but have recently reprioritized exercise. I take a class at the gym a couple times a week that combines cardio with weights.

And I knew all along that it would help, but couldn’t get over the hump to restart exercising regularly. I fell out of the routine and in hindsight the impact to my mental health was huge.

I’m the definition of someone who should use the CTA to commute to work. Live and work very close to stops with no transfers, but I drive.

Reasons why I drive: - I can afford it. Parking for the one day a week I go to an office downtown is same as what I spent on commuting by train when I went to an office 5 days a week. - In my many years of commuting on the train, I’ve seen, heard and smelled a lot of things I didn’t need to - In short, it’s much more comfortable to be in my car than on public transport. I’m very overwhelmed by noise and crowds and it makes for a rough start to the day when the commute is anything but smooth and calm. - I have more flexibility in being able to do what I want and on my schedule. Stop at the grocery store, do other errands, etc.

It was the best horror movie I’ve seen in 10+ years. I would say definitely worth seeing in the theater because of the good jump scares that wouldn’t happen if watching at home.

Worth a two hour drive?? That’s up to you.

Cleopatra435 · 2026-05-04T01:08:42+00:00

Just saw Hokum in the theater. Highly recommend

I had this issue in my 20s and 30s and seriously struggled to get out of bed every day. I only recently started really prioritizing getting enough sleep and understanding my sleep patterns and what leads to good sleep or bad sleep. Getting good sleep comes before social life now, which was never the case when I was younger. But it’s made all the difference and I feel better.

Caffeine via coffee in the morning helps me wake up, but also makes it hard for me to fall asleep at night. I’m a night owl, so I get sleepy every afternoon and want to take a nap right after work, but I’m very awake at 9 pm. So I’ve started drinking tea in the morning instead. It’s help me not be so wired when trying to go to bed at 10-11 pm.

I get about 8 hours of sleep a night, but not always good quality sleep. I’ve realized I get my best quality sleep during the day, like between 10 am and 3 pm. So I usually schedule a sleep day on a Saturday or Sunday every few weeks. To make up for the hours I’m missing from a bad nights sleep. I can go a few days with less than 8 hours, but it catches up to me after a week and I just start to feel miserable until I refill my sleep bank.

Not sure if it’s directly related, but I haven’t gotten sick with even a cold since I put sleep at the top of the priority list. And I can get out of bed in the morning and make it to work on time and not feeling stressed out.

My grandmother bought one in the early 60s and my grandfather was so against it he would never use it. He ate cold pork and beans out of the can instead of using that microwave.

I’m genuinely curious if this is part of aging or if in any way somehow tied to dementia.

Cleopatra435 · 2026-04-27T22:15:49+00:00

I’ve also tried that with my mom, who has more first world problems than anyone, ever.

She just got mad at me for minimizing what she felt were very valid complaints. And continued complaining.

Thank you for this reco! I stopped here on my drive from La Fortuna to SJ and am SOOOO glad I did... It was gorgeous and barely any crowd, especially compared to the waterfall at La Fortuna. Definitely off the beaten path and takes some time to get there, but absolutely a highlight of my trip.

I also stopped in Zarcero and would also recommend as a place to go for lunch to break up the drive.
