LPT If you want guests to use your kitchen appliances, show them how first When hosting, I’ve noticed that guests often hesitate to use things like the blender, coffee maker, or oven, even if they’re told they’re welcome to.

Just got my first salaried job, starting in two weeks. How can I plan now and make a budget? Title says it all!

I’m coming back from a period of unemployment, so my first goal is to pay off any outstanding debts or bills, and then I want to sit down with my partner and make a budget. If their job goes through, the…

Is HBO’s Rome worth sticking with if I’m bored after the first six episodes? I started watching this show because I know it’s very highly acclaimed, but I’m six episodes in and I’m painfully bored. It just seems like a soap opera with togas. Season 1 is supposed to be about the civil war between Caesar and Pompey, but I feel like the show has spent far more time on the “oh no, what if my husband finds out that the baby …

LPT Wanna kiss a girl? just ask her first. Asking “Can I kiss you?” is a quick and painless way to avoid awkward moments. If she says “No,” just say “Ok, thanks” and move on smoothly. It’s better than standing there embarrassed and unsure. She’ll likely appreciate your respectful approach too. Of course, don’t go asking every girl you talk to for a kiss. It’s important to gauge the vibe …

Just watched Veronica Mars for the first time 😑 Juat finished it and I really can’t believe how it ended. I mean season 1 and 2 felt pretty strong and I know season 3 definitely fell off but the show still had some charisma even with the lame finale. The movie was kinda pointless with the whole drop everything after all those years with a new career and long term relationship established. But…
