  1. One thing I preach and need to get on a t-shirt is "Moderation in everything except moderation!" Applies to all areas of life.
  2. It's now very rare that I sleep a long time contiguously. About once a month I'll have a 12-hour marathon sleep session. Sleep cycles are about 90 minutes for everyone which is why you can get a lot of sleep and wake up out-of-cycle and still feel tired; or get less sleep and wake up on-cycle and feel great. I generally have two or three sleep sessions a day now. Last night is a good example: I slept from 9 pm until midnight (two cycles), then was up for three hours (two cycles), then back to sleep until 7:30 am (three cycles). I ended up getting 7.5 hours of sleep (the so-called "8-hours" which they include falling to sleep and waking up in). My naps are... wait for it... usually 90 minutes. Works great for me, not so much for employers! ? That said, I'm VERY productive this way since I'm never forcing myself to stay awake to get work done, nor am I uselessly tossing and turning in bed because I can't sleep. YMMV! ?
  3. Sounds like he has more challenges than just laundry! ?
  4. I can confirm that one thing Amazon does is this: Once they see that something is selling well, they have China make it for them then they undercut everyone's price. Many people don't realize that the seller they're seeing is one of many for that product (yes, you can check out the other sellers if you see that link). To get the coveted "Buy Box" however you have to be the lowest price. Additionally, once a listing has been hijacked, you CANNOT advertise to get rid of your now stale inventory because... wait for it... AMAZON ONLY LETS THE LOWEST PRICE SELLER ADVERTISE!!! ??? There are many other reasons to NOT work with Amazon, but I was trying to avoid the painful memories.
  5. Ya! They all have these funny-sounding company names that you just know are fake! Like Alembic for example! ? ?
  6. Just get one of these and nobody will be reading anything off of your hard drives! ?

    PSA

    These are the two I use often. Although the video portions are nice, I usually have them playing in the background when I need to work early in the morning or while a client is over and were reviewing things. https://www.youtube.com/@Nocturnes_Art https://www.youtube.com/@enjoylifeandloveyourself
  8. As someone who used to be a third-party seller on Amazon (along with my business partner), I can tell you that all the rumors you hear about Amazon are not completely accurate. They are actually far worse than you hear about! I can give many reasons, but I don't want to make myself angry again. Our final straw was when they basically stole $16,000 worth of inventory from us. Enough said for now! ?
  9. Well, it's hard to think sharp when you be flat, ya? ?
  10. Oh, crap! I thought there was only four or five!!! ? Explains a lot actually... ?
  11. Usually, paying more attention to the laptop is enough of a birth control method! ?
  12. Now THAT'S some serious medication! dedication! ?
  13. The corner of that chair looks like something out of a fast food commercial! ?
  14. My lawyer has advised me not to disclose that information...
