I work in an office and keep getting forwarded articles about how sitting is going to make me die real fast no matter how much I go to the gym. Can anyone recommend a program that'll pop up a reminder every 30-45 minutes to stop working, get up, and walk around for a bit?

colas posted:Thanks for your suggestion, I'll give candles a try. Anyone else? My place doesn't stink, I'm just curious to see if anyone has some poo poo I haven't tried. I don't like the incense that much because of the ashes, plug-in fresheners are bullshit, and sprays kinda suck. Febreeze is awesome but that's only for fabric. Carpet powder when I was single did the trick. Unless you've got primarily wood floors or something. Spinkle this poo poo down a few minutes before you vacuum. http://www.amazon.com/Arm-Hammer-Strength-Eliminator-Carpet/dp/B00651O2TI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1424790913&sr=8-4&keywords=Carpet+powder Cornuto has a new favorite as of 16:23 on Feb 24, 2015 |

Someone was mentioning some measurement you needed to ask your eye doctor about and stuff. Any ideas? I'd recommend Warby Parker as well. I like their stuff. For my own request, I don't fly much and I'm starting to plan a honeymoon. Are all the travel sites basically the same? Is there any goon-secrets for travel/flights?

Fiance's iPad has had it, and I'm shopping for a laptop to replace it. I've always used desktops, and really don't know much about the current laptop market and if its a good time to wait or buy. From online shopping this is my current favorite: http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00S44HXRW/ref=gl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2KX7R5N2RBMPU&coliid=I1T2OJAN54SZNS but I am very open to recommendations. It will be used for email, internet, video, photography mainly. Is there a better website to buy from, or a different laptop anyone would suggest for at or under the price?

Pron on VHS posted:Any opinions or recommendations on the range of memory foam mattresses available from Amazon? Don't want to pay for the Tempurpedic brand and I've heard the ones on Amazon are great. ... we bought a Tuft and Needle king sized a few months back one that's pretty comfortable. https://www.tuftandneedle.com/ We almost went with this one, but my fiance wanted a firm mattress and the reviews said the T&N was the firmer of the two: https://casper.com/mattresses

Eglamore posted:Not that it helps you get an answer, but I'd actually recommend not buying that chair. Mine has fabric rips and wear. I mean it lasted a few years, and the back support is pretty good, but it's also the first thing to fail on it. For a $200 chair there's better options. I've have the dark grey one for about a year, and haven't seen any problems like that.

I've never owned a robot vacuum cleaner but am considering getting one to try to take down the tumbleweeds of pet hair our 110lb rottie mix is leaving in all the corners of our house. Are these up to that task, or are they more for light dusting? Assuming our dog doesn't try to eat it, is there a brand/model that anyone would recommend?
