Did you also make him give back the $100? I guess at 9 he's old enough to know he stole it, and the value of it for the most part. If he was younger and didn't really understand what $100 was I'd say that was really harsh. Not judging, just curious.

It's funny, I've been very lucky - the worst punishment I think I've handed out to my daughter, ever, is like a mad/disappointed facial expression and no dessert for one night. To be fair she's a laid back kid and not mischievous at all, which means the next few years (she's 14) are going to probably be hell. I guess when she lost her $500 iphone I technically punished her but all I said was "the deductible is $100" and she paid it voluntarily.

Yes he had to give the money back. The chores are more of a "Hey we really should get you doing more chores and on a regular allowance, but the first few weeks are on you". The toys are also a "Holy crap we've been trying for three years to get your room under control." He literally has 100+ stuffed animals and gets tons of toys as gifts each year from a rather large family. There's lots of kids who don't have toys, let alone have so many they will never get a chance to play with them. So, he gets to choose what goes.

I had my twitter account hacked once, but I think it was just a driveby hacking using credentials lifted from some other site for spamming. Twitter shut it down after two tweets. I've since enabled 2fa with them and stopped reusing passwords.

In December my father told me he might have cancer. In January my friend was violently murdered. In February my girlfriend's father is most certainly going to lose his battle with cancer. Just today one of my favorite couples that shop where I work told me they lost their baby at 6 months into the pregnancy.

That's called fedex smartpost. It's cheaper, but I don't like to use it. I let wholesale distributors do most of the shipping for me and they are really good. It is rare that stuff shows up a day after I say it will. Plus there are three throughout the country I use so most stuff is 2-3 days with regular ground shipping and all comes from the same place at the same time whenever possible.

In order to make Facebook more bearable I have recently taken to hiding new organizations (liberal and conservative and everything else) and stupid 'community' type pages from showing up on my feed. It's a better option than blocking or hiding friends. The 'see less from X friend' never works. If I see a stupid post I just hide that post so it doesn't show up in my feed again and I can go on not judging people for saying dumb things.

It's not perfect but it's working better and the only thing keeping me on Facebook

I shockingly well. Monday I woke up feeling like myself for the first time in two weeks. Yesterday wasn't the worst day but my customers telling me about their lost baby made me a weepy mess. My no-father-in-law hates me but what this is going to do to my girl is already hurting. Both her parents will be gone.

I should try this but that wouldn't keep me from getting sucked into debates with libertarians who argue things like "all subsidies are bad" and "you shouldn't take action because it only begets more action."

My barber'll happily slap you with my No.3 buzz for the same price I pay, regardless.

No, it was painkillers, they have some that are labelled as being for "period pain" that are exactly the same thing as the general ones, only in a different box.

That's usually what I do myself :buddy: No.2 for the summers, though. My girlfriend was fed up with paying the salon $60 for a haircut that she started doing it herself using the Wahl buzzer I bought ~12 years ago for $20.

TBH the problem is they've worked out how to sell hairdressing as a luxury good/premium service, priced accordingly. Can't blame them for it, but always seems a bit ridiculous to me. More so the further my hairline recedes.

I always think of shampoo commercials when these complaints come up--i dont think i remember seeing any men's shampoo commercials in my entire life except for ones that remove dandruff. But women's shampoo? commercials every single day, billboards, you name it.

marketing is probably the single biggest driver of how much these products are priced at
