  Where to start? Purge all of one type of item at a time? One room at a time?

  0 0 I go through our house 1 space at a time since that keeps the project manageable for me. Sometimes, it is as little as spending an hour going through a "box of miscellaneous" and other times I end up spending half a weekend going through the office. I basically use scalpel's method otherwise and then make sure I IMMEDIATELY take all the donate/trash to goodwill/dumpster so there is no second guessing (my husband sometimes likes to sneak things back to the closet). For paperwork, what I have found works great is just scanning my documents and keeping them organized on my computer, though the trick is staying reasonably on top of that. We keep a back up drive and if you label things well, you can really reduce a lot of the clutter! ariane answered in Clear the Clutter about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 8 more answers »

  Any tips for flying with a toddler?

  0 0 No kids (yet), but I do have a couple of suggestions since I fly a few times a month and usually try to help out when parents bring small children - I figure playing with the kid is a lot more fun than hearing them scream :-) Obviously, since you are asking this question, you wont be one of those people changing the diaper on the tray table and ignoring the child if they scream! Reading some of people's horror stories on other sites can also give you a lesson in "what not to do"! 1) Don't take noisy video games - hearing those noises the entire flight will not win you points with neighbors. 2) If you are getting the stink-eye from others (mentioned in another answer), yes, realize that they are seeing your child in a very stressful situation and apologize. YMMV, but many people will either settle back down or stop and you might be surprised to get some help! ariane answered in Family & Kids about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 10 more answers »

  0 0 There was an article (Wired, maybe?) over the summer talking about this issue. They actually decided that frequent password resets actually made the accounts LESS secure since what ends up happening is that you just write the damn thing down, which makes is 100% not secure... My google isn't working very well (out of the country), but you might be able to find the article and send it in with a complaint!

  0 0 NWmomma, I stuck around in a relationship with great sex for longer than I should have. He was a manipulative asshole and OH MY GOD amazing in bed. IMHO, if the sex is the only thing really going for the relationship, its not really a very good relationship. I was much, much, much happier overall after DTMFA even if though it took a while to get that kind of mind blowing sex again. From your initial post, even if the sex is/was that good, the frequency would not be enough to keep me around :-) ariane commented about 1 year ago

  Do super-religious people think they are being sinful when they have sex? and do they feel guilty afterwards?

  0 0 I have a very religious Christian friend who is married and has frequent sex. What I got from her is that only pre- and extra-marital sex are sinful :-) ariane answered in Sex & Relationships about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 8 more answers »

  What Do I Need to DM My First D&D Campaign.

  2 0 Its been years since I played and I never DMed, but Gabe over at Penny Arcade has some awesome advice: http://www.penny-arcade.com/gabednd/ Mainly what will make your campaign fun is having fun. Your players are there to enjoy themselves, beat some stuff up, and be silly and serious by turns. In general, have be flexible. I remember times that as a noob I totally fucked my DM's plans for the "plot" by doing something stupid, accidentally metagaming, or just generally being a pain. It was still a blast. ariane answered in Entertainment & Film about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 5 more answers »
