It is hard for most people to understand something they can't see, like disabilities of the mind. One of my friends got seriously sick and had to have his legs amputated. He is happier without them! They didn't work properly before and had to get around with a wheelchair or a pair of canes before th... |

I'm retired so I don't need more education for a job.
But, I'll watch educational YouTube videos to learn about math, science, and history. |

I was really tired and accidentally put the electronic car key fob in the wash. It took a month for it to dry out and start working again. I was having trouble sleeping due to anxiety issues. |

If many more 30-somethings all managed to save $50,000 it is likely that most of them wouldn't be able to buy starter homes! There is the problem of a limited supply of starter homes and numerous roadblocks in the way to prevent building more. What will happen is the price of the homes will rise. It... |

Yes, Carly was lucky enough to lose Canadian Idol and place 3rd, so the didn't get the record contract awarded to the winner! She has sold more albums than the entire Candian Idol franchise. |

Carly Rae Jepsen took advantage of her youthful appearance to sell clothing to young women! She was 28 in 2013 but still looked like she was in her teens! It took a long time for her to become a "one hit wonder" in 2012. She then parlayed that success to take advantage of numerous opportun... |

I just wish there was a cut with the flavour of eye round and the tenderness of tenderloin (filet mignon). Of course it would probably be even more expensive than tenderloin. I suggest cooking 6oz beef chuck cubes in a 1quart slow cooker. 1cup of water with a 1tsp Better than Bouillion beef broth c... |

I buy expensive cuts of meat like ribeye and filet mignon. I don't eat big portions so it is cheaper than getting a burger and fries at a restaurant. |

In the United States a lot of young people have debts from going to college, unless they were lucky enough to get a full scholarship, which doesn't happen very often. I put a two thousand in a retirement IRA when I was in my early 20s. A modest certificate of deposit at a bank! It is now worth more ... |

https://www.nolandalla.com/great-pop-musicians-washed-age-30/ Do great pop musicians run into creative gauntlet by age 30, and if so — why? [Note: For purposes of discussion, I made “30” the creative cutoff. But it could be 29, or 31, or 32 — the point being that musical creative talent diminishes p... |

Some of us are really good at making stuff. Or figuring out how stuff works.
It may help to seek out opportunities to use our talents.
