Maybe they choose the nicer groceries because eating is the only thing they have left in their life to look forward to? Since having children, home ownership, and retirement are all off the table in terms of affordability? Idk, just spitballin.

The article doesn't say "bomb jolt" it says "bump, jolt." In case no one actually reads the article.

They should only be holding 2 cards for Texas Hold'em... So I'm not sure what this is.

James May in Japan? He went to a concert, but I can't remember the time of day.

I've been thinking that for months now, every time I hear his name. And you're the first person I've seen bring it up.

I'm not the other commenter, but I've had a Discover card for over a decade, and there have only been 2 places I've ever wanted to buy something that didn't take Discover. One was an obscure website and the other was a small town antique store.

So to answer your question, I do have some other credit card options, but it's mostly for cash back reasons (I can use the best card for the category each month).

I'm an American, 40 years old. Not only have I never used a fountain pen, I don't think I've ever even seen one used in person. School was all #2 pencils, mechanical pencils, and then ballpoint pens, as I progressed through the years.

Counting calories. I used MyFitnessPal, but I'm sure there are other apps.

Figure out how many calories you need daily to maintain your current weight, depending on age/gender/height, and then subtract about 500 calories from that. This also depends on your stats; you don't want to go below your minimum daily calories. You'll be hungry and dizzy all the time, and your body will try to store extra fat because it thinks you're starving.

You can eat whatever you want, as long as you stay under your daily calorie number. You might not be healthy (depending on your food choices), but you will lose weight.

Good luck!

My boyfriend is getting more and more frequent panic attacks. He's at the end of his rope. I'm trying to get him therapy, but it took almost a year to convince him to let me sign him up for some. Today they contacted him to schedule an appointment...for a month from now. And he panicked about it so badly that he started sobbing at the end of his workday (while still at work).

He can't afford therapy, so I offered to pay. Which makes him feel guilty. His constant anxiety is keeping him from getting help for his constant anxiety. It's only going to get worse. And there's nothing I can do about it.

I just realized I didn't directly answer your question: terrible.
