"Spending time with your kids. Your kids don't care that you took them to France for two weeks, if you're not around the rest of the year. It's much more important to be present, and to be a part of their daily routines.

When I say "spending time", I mean interacting with them. Not just occupying the same room and being inattentive. Also, yes, I get it, if they spend all day beating you, then it's not great. I'd like to think I didn't have to be explicit about that."

"A few years back, my mom ordered an amazon Alexa from a eBay. Rather than ordering it from amazon like anyone else would've, she decided to be stubborn and order again when 2 weeks passed and no delivery. 2 weeks became a month, and at this point my mother had ordered about a dozen of these Alexas in Joes of one showing up finally. This was in early march 2016. She eventually forgot about it. Then august 2017 happened. I walk downstairs in the morning to see her complaining about getting 17 knockoff Chinese Alexas that talk in a very unsettling voice. She tries to return them but has no success there, so finally giving into defeat, she gives them to me since no one else would want them. They really can't do much on their own, but once i discovered that they will repeat any phrase you tell them to, I would put them all within close vicinity, and this is where the fun began. I would say "Alexa, say Alexa", and then out them on full volume. After about 30 seconds the only audible noise within my household was a domino effect of knockoff Alexas reciting the command which triggered their surrounding comrades. I can also Bluetooth connect them to all play songs from my phone. They are not consistent with their timing so the songs come out as the un God-forsaken sounds of satan being b***-forked dry in a wind tunnel. I love my dysfunctional Alexas. All 17 of them."

I used to keep mine neatly in a pretty dish on my dresser. But still would lose them. Then I walked in unexpectedly and found my cat taking one out of the dish. The missing were under the couch.

Your cat probably thought it was really nice of you to put up a dish full of toys just for them!

My hair is super thick, so I can't use some kinds of elastics, because they are too weak. Just find a strong, cheep pack, and keep a jar for your extra hair elastics. I do that, and with time, you learn to put them in the right place. You always end up having elastics.

"When learning to make music. Or anything creative really. In the beginning, the most important thing is to write a lot of music. Get out all the bad music out of your system and then catch the good ones when they come. Listen to the song you have made. What do you not like about it? Make a mental note and move on to the next song and apply the new information on that song. Don't try to polish a t**d. I think this goes for a lot of things. But of course not everything."

"I'm a university professor, and that's why I no longer have an exact page count. "I would like a reaction paper of 2-5 pages. Say what you have to say and keep it at that." It still freaks some students out. They have been programmed by their prior educational experiences to deliver an exact page/word count. The ambiguity is too much for them. I just remind them that lots of things in the real world don't have page counts."

"Breakfast at a restaurant. The actual quality of breakfast food plateaus pretty early. As long as they cook your eggs as requested and don't undercook the hashbrowns, I don't really care that much how carefully the meal was prepared. What I will not accept, however, is ordering biscuits and gravy, a dish that is specifically supposed to be about excess, and still being hungry when I'm finished."
