The advice I like to give is to keep it simple and keep it clean. The first impression of walking into a house that has shelves full of nick-nacks can make it look like you are adding too much to make it look presentable. Plus the fact it is easier to dust and keep clean.

Thanks for being so condescending! How about this…do what you want at your house and I’ll do at my house what I want. Problem solved!

This is the reason the glass ceiling will never be broken and mansplaining will continue to plague us. We’ve been conditioned this way and thought nothing of it. Please let’s not do this to our kids!!

Please tell your daughter she can play with nerf guns, slime and footballs!! And there is nothing wrong with boys who like to play dress up or do crafts!

(I had 2 that did and loved it) it’s not about teaching our kids that our bodies are dirty or being ashamed of them- totally opposite! You don’t leave your most valuable things out for the world to see. Our bodies are so special we need to treat them that way! When we are married we give our whole naked selves to our loving husband and he gives his whole naked self to us and together we create a bond like no other and form a family. No wonder we have so many broken marriages if our children aren’t being taught how special that is. Also- on another note, most of us grew up in a world without internet or sex Ed being taught in kindergarten. Take a minute to think about the way that has changed perspectives and what our children are exposed to (which is very different than what we had) it is comparing apples to oranges. ???? have fun playing!

I agree with all three of your points. In particular, the new technology for marketing strategies has been challenging for me. In my field, there is literally a tool or software for everything. I often have reign myself back in; it’s easy to chase all the new shiny objects. It’s important to clearly define needs or gaps in your current business and then look for ways technology can improve those needs.

My uncle was thinking about using one to start carving wood because he used to love doing that when he was younger. I’ll make sure to pass this information along to him while he searches for a chainsaw.

Air is being blown through the air return ducts!

The installation manual reads like a missile launch checklist, and this guy has been scratching his head for two hours. Weekends are not the right time to do this. No support line open
