I used to hate Miley Cyrus' music and her personality. Now I'm on board. I still don't love her, but I don't mind singing along when her music plays near me and I feel very neutral to even positive about her as a person. As far as child stars go she actually seems surprisingly normal and thoughtful.

Not exactly. My coworker has been trying to sell his waterfront home for over a year. He keeps having to rehab it after flooding from storms and then right back on the market. No luck. Starting October 13th or something you have to start disclosing floods when selling, also.

But also we are getting extra storms? The average number of storms per season is up

Did you Google this? They have cameras that look like phone chargers. Also, install a non hidden camera and a hidden one.

Yeah, I'm 30 and I feel like I've never had the experience of being able to rely on a name brand consistently. Everything seems to fall apart. Sometimes you get something great, but when it comes time to replace it and you buy the exact same thing from the exact same company it comes at a much lower quality

That they were trying to train their toddler to sit at the table but having an issue because the toddler wants to give the dog the table food and the dog wants to get that food which knocks the toddler over because the toddler is just learning to sit at the table. They normally put the dog out no problem but the dog knows the toddler is at that table now so is extra motivated to be let back in. A short term thing, and they needed the toddler to be able to focus.

Seems like you mean we, not they

Until there is a diet that has long term success for a majority of its users I don't think this mindset is healthy or realistic.

"According to the latest weight-loss research, 95% of dieters end up regaining the weight they lost within two years. Calorie-restricting diets are often successful at helping people lose weight, but they’re very unsuccessful at helping people maintain that weight loss." source

My neighbor texted me the one time they had their dog barking in the backyard for 10 min + with an explanation of why he was out there, and the offer to bring him back in if it was too noisy in our house. 10/10 great neighbor, and honestly made me not mind the barking at all

Yeah, people definitely don't understand that you can cut so much and bargain hunt the whole thing and still spend 15-20k. That's a"cheap" wedding. The average in my area is 33k. That's not because people are just spending frivolously and don't budget, that's because every single aspect of a wedding is expensive. Hell, tipping out the bar staff and photographer alone is expensive.

Skip it if you want, but even as a very frugal person, I'm very happy we had a huge party with lots of food and an open bar. It's worth it to spend money on life rites. Life rites are like half the point of being human!

If you don't care about celebrating with friends and family, don't spend the money, but for us sharing the day with the people we love and merging our families was important.

I think it's funny you used cheeseits as your example because that's one of the few things I won't buy generic of because they're just different. Little cookies, crackers, chips, and chocolates are usually brand specific in taste (though don't assume you prefer the name brand, you may prefer the generic!) so they're not fungible. I'd rather skip the calories than have generic cheeseits or Doritos.
