As I get older, I find there is a tendency for my perspective becoming increasingly focused and narrow based on past experiences and knowledge. What things do people here do to help with remaining...

In a roundabout way I hope the more egregious politicians in America are accelerating a process of decay that is helping to create fertile soils for the next era of civilization, one that places less...

The most lucrative professional sports (especially pro football) seem like worst-case examples of hyper-capitalism, squeezing nearly every drop from the masses and giving nearly all of the profits...

That's great you had success with talk therapy. I echo your sentiment. It took me some trial and error to find a good therapist that was also a good match for me.

Therapy seems kind of analogous...

Have you tried pine litter or similar? Stack one bin on top of another, drill some holes in the bottom of the upper bin. When the cat poops, scoop, when they pee, the litter turns to sawdust and can...

Speaking of meds, has anyone tried Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs? Apparently he started an online pharmacy that only charges something like 15% markup plus shipping on prescription drugs. I am about to...

This is motivation to turn off the computer and go outside for a few minutes before going to bed. Thank you Bae.

Thanks Catherine!

I'm interested to see what other SLers have done to organize and declutter, and how they like to live materially in their homes. Related, but getting away from minimalism and...

Thanks! I bet you're better at decluttering than you know. For me, it has been a gradual but accelerating change in philosophy with many contributing factors. Towards the end it became easier and...
