Chandelier over a conversation pit

( www.reddit.com )

Chandelier over a conversation pit I’m getting a skylight installed on my slope ceiling over my conversation pit. My contractor has asked me if I also want to install a chandelier over the pit or if I want to move the skylight down a bit and install a ceiling fan to help with the HVAC concerns. A ceiling fan would be really helpful, there is a loft in the top left hand corner of…

LPT: If someone you know has ADHD, don’t get mad if they interrupt you during a conversation.

( www.reddit.com )

LPT: If someone you know has ADHD, don’t get mad if they interrupt you during a conversation. One of the traits of ADHD is poor impulse control, which can often lead to them interrupting people, but try to keep in mind they don’t do it on purpose. Instead of getting mad at them, gently get their attention while they’re talking (saying their name helps), then once they’re listening, say IN A NEUTRAL TONE something like “Can I just finish …

LPT: If you’re recording yourself for an job, film a conversation between yourself and a friend, and then edit out the friend. My mother had an interview coming up and they wanted her to record herself talking about herself. So I sat down with her and had a regular conversation. I told her to ignore the camera and just talk about herself and her job. Then I took the video, and cut myself out. Then I edited little cue cards in like “What motivates you?” And “How did you …

Is it possible to have a conversation on the Roth vs Trad IRA question?

( www.reddit.com )

Is it possible to have a conversation on the Roth vs Trad IRA question? I am long retired and worked before Roth IRAs were a thing and am a bit surprised by the love of the Roth over the traditional IRA here. It seems to me to be a math problem. Higher tax rates while working means use the deduction and lower tax rates in retirement means take advantage of the lower tax burden. Yes there are RMDs but that is why you…

LPT – when someone has headphones in, they’re not looking for a conversation. It’s fine to try and engage them once. You can even make a point of getting their attention if it’s actually important. But don’t keep trying to start random chit chat with “hey”, “how’s your night”, “whatcha listening to”, “ever hear _____” And I’m a guy. It wasn’t just a creep trying to pick up a girl. Bonus LPT- when someone with headphones…

LPT Be more open in conversation with friends, old and new about your mental health. I had a panic attack disorder and a lot of anxiety for about 20 years and used to be very ashamed of it but now I talk about my mental health more openly with friends and it has (in most cases) made them feel comfortable talking about theirs cause it seems to be, that everyone on this planet has some sort of struggle going on, past or present an…

LPT use the sign language alphabet to cue a reminder during a conversation.

( www.reddit.com )

LPT use the sign language alphabet to cue a reminder during a conversation. I memorized the sign language alphabet. When something important pops in my head that I don’t want to forget to say and yet I don’t want to interrupt the person talking, I just put my hand in the shape of the letter. For example, if my friend is telling a story and I remember that I wanted to ask her about babysitting, I just form the letter B …
