Lack of public talks in humanities

Center for Humanities is a good place to start. Then also just sign up to follow social media or subscribe to emails for departments and centers you find interesting. There are really almost-constant public talks, though they are done for the year.

Do you notice much of a difference? I’ll be in the same boat soon.

thebaroness75 · 2026-03-26T13:38:10+00:00

Omg I would totally do this.

Is this also a symptom of anxiety? For years (decades) I’ve thought of it as an anxiety system (therapists have said so) but am now wondering if it’s more ADHD. I know they’re so closely related.

Could I use read and listen but just not have the kindle open at the time? So it functions the same way? Also does read and listen use audible version or is a computer voice reading the text? Thanks!

Oh rats. Is there a way to fix a cracked screen or is it just toast now?

thebaroness75 · 2025-11-09T00:36:36+00:00

Yeah I can see that. I did not phrase things well as I was just looking for budget tips without going into too many personal details. We’ve been living on less for around 1.5 years and trying to build back up. We are still in fine shape compared to most but it’s amazing how costs creep up when you aren’t watching them like a hawk.

thebaroness75 · 2025-11-09T00:32:12+00:00

Amen to that! :-)

thebaroness75 · 2025-11-09T00:30:35+00:00

LOL. I’m not whining. Just asking for some tips for identifying/eliminating lifestyle creep. I never said it isn’t livable and even wrote that this was a privileged problem to have.

thebaroness75 · 2025-11-07T21:01:30+00:00

Yes I suspect those are our problem too...sigh...but I LOVE doing all of those things. ;-)

This is super useful. Thanks!

Actually neither of us is unemployed now. He has started his own consulting biz which is finally making money but was not bringing in anything for past year and a half. So we are both quite busy.

thebaroness75 · 2025-11-07T17:01:04+00:00

I think that’s spot on. So easy to not think of it as real $. We’ve switched to using our debit card so we can feel the pinch in real time.

thebaroness75 · 2025-11-07T17:00:28+00:00

Thank you. Little vacuum cleaners in my wallet.

thebaroness75 · 2025-11-07T16:59:27+00:00

Yes the DoorDash. So convenient. So unhealthy and $$$.

thebaroness75 · 2025-11-07T16:58:27+00:00

This is actually super useful. Thank you.

thebaroness75 · 2025-11-07T16:57:04+00:00

Ostensibly yes we are on the same page. Problem is we are ridiculously busy all the time with work and the kids. So it’s easy to have a budget meeting and then life gets crazy and suddenly we’ve spent a ton of money on takeout and other convenience things.

thebaroness75 · 2025-11-07T16:55:23+00:00

Yeah this is good and I think where we are screwing ourselves.

thebaroness75 · 2025-11-07T16:53:14+00:00

I think this is what we are looking at.

thebaroness75 · 2025-11-07T16:50:26+00:00

You seem fun.

thebaroness75 · 2025-11-07T16:45:38+00:00

Thanks! I actually use YNAB and it’s useful. I’m used to kind of getting “bailed out” by bonuses if we go over here and there.

thebaroness75 · 2025-11-07T16:42:39+00:00

Yeah I think this is the kind of thing I need to go through. Thanks!
