LPT: Watch the movie/show first, THEN read the book. When you watch a movie without knowing the book, you focus on the movie itself and you might enjoy it thoroughly.

You can’t undo enjoying something. You can however enjoy som…

I laid a single layer of dryer sheets (8 individual sheets should do it) at the bottom of the bathtub & placed the racks on top.

LPT: Make use of your phone’s voice recorder My first time posting here, so please be gentle. Besides recording voice/sound for technical and career productivity. I’m talking more about emotional and mental well-being.
