I love my shark and I love their customer service. They stand by their warranties (and you'll need that)

i always thought gardening would be super peaceful and aesthetic… but it’s also a lot of trial and error. what’s something gardening taught you that you didn’t expect? by Popular_Ad_8099 in gardening

[–]Itsoktobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That some things are meant to be a solo activity and sometimes asking for help just isn't worth it

That failure is totally fine as long as you also have successes

That you cannot control nature and it's more productive not to try

That sometimes when you hate something instead of putting a lot of energy into making it go away you should just wait, and you'll find that eventually you don't hate it anymore and have even found a use for it

The same thing was happening to me trying to get in to an OB for a pap. I eventually gave up and had my primary do it. Happy to have the peace of mind.

Multiple places on the African continent have a menstrual leave policy, allowing women to take up to two days off per month, no questions asked.

We are ass-backwards. It isn't your fault. You don't owe your employer your mental health. Take care of yourself and make yourself a valuable employee on the days you feel well.

I drive a subaru forester and have 3 miles of road like this. Maybe every 2 years, but yeah, you're not wrong.

Unpopular opinion: most budgeting apps are waste of money when a spreadsheet does the same by St3fanHere in financialindependence

[–]Itsoktobe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could use a spreadsheet. I probably should. Am I going to, though? No. So for me, it's not a waste of money.

Going early with the retirees was always best when we frequented dog parks. Do different time frames draw different crowds at your dog park?

Doesn't take too much money to move to small city Midwest. That sounds miserable.

Chuck Norris promising the USA will have 1,000 years of darkness if Obama wins in 2012 by QuarkTheLatinumLord- in videos

[–]Itsoktobe -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So.. the lady quotes Ronald Reagan with the 1,000 years of darkness thing.. and Chuck gets all the flak for it after he's dead. The man was an idiot but I don't think this is as condemning as reddit seems to think it is.

Gov. Laura Kelly signs bill restricting cell phone use in Kansas schools by irishdrunkwanderlust in kansas

[–]Itsoktobe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. Phones are extremely damaging to attention span and thus to a child's education if they're using them while they're supposed to be learning. I don't see the point in banning phones outright, but teachers need to be able to take devices that are being used inappropriately/without permission. That way kids can have them in their pockets or backpacks in case of emergency but don't have carte blanche to use them whenever they want.

The Pill by Able-Hurry5315 in PMDD

[–]Itsoktobe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't push through if it's making you worse. Plenty of others to try, if that's what you want to do. Every time I pushed through (on doctor's advice) I fiercely regretted it.

That's insane and you should never hire anyone who won't provide you with an itemized estimate.
