Poor persons guide to life

It’s effective because especially for children, who don’t have enough historical context to understand much of the concept, you can still fully grasp the idea.  

There was nothing wrong with Jack seeing the beauty and differences in Christmas town, it’s when he tried to take what is unique about Christmas town away from those it originally belonged to without understanding the full context of Christmas things is when everything went wrong.

Packing Tips

1. Don’t pack everything at once. I highly recommend that you start packing at least a month before you move. If you take the time to pack in a slow and steady fashion, you’ll never end up feeling overwhelmed. When I moved out of my parent’s house, I made myself a promise to pack at least five things every night. I made it part of my nightly routine, and it felt less intimidating. When the day finally came to move, I had nothing left to pack.

2. Pack by usage. Decide what you won’t use during the rest of your stay at your old apartment, and pack that first. For example - if it’s warm out, you probably won’t need winter coats. You’ll eventually get to the point where the only things that are still unpacked are your clothes and toiletries for your move in day.

3. Double tape. Don’t expect a flimsy layer of tape to hold all of your precious belongings in place. Double-line each box opening with duct tape. And I do mean duct tape.

4. Label everything. Don’t use general labels like “clothing”, instead specify “summer shirts, blue jeans, toe socks”. The more details, the easier it will be unpacking everything when you’re moving in.

5. Fragile items. Wrap things like glasses, plates, chinaware, etc in your clothing or blankets. I actually like to double wrap things, just on the off chance something gets dropped or handled roughly. Wrapping by using things that are not disposable helps save space. 

6. Containers. Have lots of storage or tupperware containers? Fill them with things before packing them. 

7. Move piecemeal. If possible, start moving your furniture and boxes before you start living in your apartment. This is not always possible, so you will need to ask your landlord if it’s okay. If they okay it, start moving boxes and small pieces in a week before time.

8. Master list. I’m a big fan of lists, as you may know. When moving, I like to make a list of everything that needs to be moved, and cross items off one by one as they get accomplished. This ensures that nothing is left behind.

9. Moving party. If possible, rope some friends/family members into helping you move. Supply some basic snacks, drinks, and music, and turn this arduous task into a party. Or, you could offer to buy everyone a pizza afterwards.

10. Double check. After you think you’ve moved everything out of your old apartment, drive back over and double check that everything really has been taken care of. Open every cabinet, check every closet, even check the fridge and freezer. I lost a three foot tall state of a gnome and a panini press because I forgot to double check during my last move. Don’t make the same mistakes I did!

They’re basically a literary prank– the sentence starts out in such a way that you think you know where it’s going, but the way it ends completely changes the meaning while still being a complete and logical sentence. Usually it deals with double meanings, or with words that can be multiple parts of speech, like nouns and verbs or nouns and adjectives.

So we get gems like

The old man the boat. (The old people are manning the boat)

The complex houses married and single soldiers and their families. (The apartment complex is home to both married and single soldiers, plus their families)

The prime number few. (People who are excellent are few in number.)

The cotton clothing is usually made of grows in Mississipi. (The cotton that clothing is made of)

The man who hunts ducks out on weekends. (As in he ducks out of his responsibilities)

You don’t have to say “it’s okay.” You don’t even have to say “I forgive you.” You can say simply “thank you for apologizing.”

I think that people forget that condoms protect you from more than just pregnancy.

It’s called post exposure prophylaxis.

If you’ve had unprotected sex and are afraid of possibly being at risk for HIV, please go to the emergency room and ask about POST EXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS.

In terms of all the things that you need to purchase- it may be best to create an expense chart and figure out how much you will need to budget per item. We also have some helpful posts about finding furniture and etc on the cheap:

In my mind, you should have 3x the amount that your total monthly expenses will be before moving out. Expenses include: rent, utilities, food, cable, etc. You won’t know for sure until you’re moved out and living in the world, so guesstimate. So if your total monthly expenses will be $600, you should have $1800 saved. This ensures that if you suddenly loose your job and have to look for another one, or some other sort of other emergency occurs, that you’ll be able to survive for a month or two without an income.

You (or your parents) pay approx $40-$100 or higher for internet. 

So that you can all use youtube, google, Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, etc. etc. etc. This isn’t limited to social media.  

Net neutrality says, “Okay, since you already paid x amount of money for the month, you don’t have to pay for each asset individually. Enjoy your internet.”  NO net neutrality means that your service provider (comcast, at&t, verizon, whatever it may be) gets to say “ACTUALLY, it lines our pockets so give us an extra $5.99 for Youtube, Facebook and Twitter. Oh, but that doesn’t include Tumblr; that comes with our premium package. That’ll be $5.99 on its own as well. Now about your Google docs and email… 

That’s why it’s important. That’s why I’m spamming Net Neutrality crap. If you’re using the internet, it’s YOUR problem.

This is highly dependent on your taste preferences, but here are some ideas based on things I cook for myself:

Asian-inspired

stir fried veggies like carrot, broccoli, bell pepper, and green beans with sauce (rice vinegar+soy sauce+honey+ garlic and ginger), add a protein like tofu, chicken, or salmon

fried rice with brown or white rice (add frozen peas and carrots, onion, green onion, scrambled egg, soy sauce, oil, salt + pepper), can add a protein like chicken, tofu, or ham

Tex-Mex/Southwestern Inspired

chili with canned beans and tomatoes, peppers, onions, and ground turkey or beef

enchilada with cheese

chilaquiles

tacos, of course, any toppings you want!

breakfast burritos, freeze and save for later

Mediterranean/Italian Inspired

kebabs

hummus

roasted veggies wraps with feta cheese

pasta!! pasta marinara (red sauce), pasta bolognese (red meat sauce), pesto, white sauce, pasta primavera (spring veggies), fancy mac and cheese and endless more! Add chicken, fish, beef, pork, sausage, whatever!

eggplant with cheese, veggies, and bread crumbs

Soups!

literally any veggies and/or meat that you want, add beans or grains or noodles to make it hearty, and boil then simmer with vegetable broth. My favorites are: potato, carrot, kale, and vegetarian sausage with lentils.

Casserole/Bakes

shepherd’s pie

pot pie (can use store-bought crust or frozen puff pastry to make it easier)

For grocery shopping, shop the perimeter of the store for the healthiest foods, don’t shop while hungry, make a list first and stick to it, and look for bulk/unpacked items for the cheapest selections! Compare a few local grocery stores and see where you can get things cheaper, but convenience and time spent is also a factor. I personally like to shop once per week, but this depends on your family’s needs. I prefer to go early mornings on Saturday! Sundays and weekday evenings after 5 are going to be the most crowded.

pass this on to spread knowledge whether you have one or not, #save-a-coochie

- the vagina is the tubular ‘internal’ sex organ that some people have. - the ‘vulva’ is the set of external sex organs that people with vaginas have. it includes (but not only):

pubic mound 

labia minora and majora (inner/outer ‘lips’)

clitoris and clitoral hood 

vulval vestibule (found in between your labia minora)

urethra (where you urinate from)

vaginal opening

-vaginas naturally contain a balance of different bacterias. this bacteria protects the vagina from external bacteria and fungus, provides natural disinfectants and maintains a healthy vaginal pH of 3.5-4.5.

-vaginal pH varies from person to person, day to day, depending on your cycle, your diet and many other external factors,

-all vaginas have a scent. all of them. no two people smell exactly the same, and you shouldn’t expect your vagina (or anyone else’s) to smell fruity or floral.

- if your worried about your scent, you can place perfume or an essential oil to an area around your vulva but not on it. some places like between your thighs or on your lower stomach, for example,

-your body secretes natural fluids called discharge. discharge is how your vagina self cleanses. it is completely normal and vital to healthy vaginal function.

-discharge can vary in amount, color, texture and scent depending on your cycle. each person is different. if your discharge is unusual or abnormal to you and your unique body - visit a doctor if possible.

-abnormal discharge can be green, grey, very yellow, smelly, itchy, chunky, etc.

-abundant discharge can be annoying. you can remove excess discharge in your shower by inserting one clean finger into your vagina, moving it from one side to another and ‘scooping’ the discharge out. repeat as needed. this reduces the amount of discharge found on your panties and in turn, reduces vaginal scent.

- dead skin cells and oil can build up between your clitoris and your clitoral hood, so it’s important to lift your hood up and rinse thoroughly so it doesnt harden. 

-washing your “external” vulvar areas such as your public mound and outer lips is okay, though some may find skin here more sensitive.

-don’t douche. you may think it helps but it only masks any problems while causing more. douching throws of your flora, alters your PH and forces bacteria into your cervix.

-water and a soft, clean wash cloth is all you need to clean your vulvar areas that contain a mucous membrane. you do not need to wash these areas. applying soaps or cleaners to these areas removes of natural necessary lubricants and bacteria. this may cause irritation, inflammation, major discomfort and dryness. some amount of moistness should always be present.

-a vast majority of vaginal washes, even those touted as hypoallergenic, still contain dyes and fragrances which are known irritants. read the label.

-while Summer’s eve is a lesser of evils with a PH of 3.0 - 3.5 (still not quite correct), it is still a cleanser. vaginal washes are used to cleanse “bad” bacteria from your vulva. they also wash away the “good” bacteria needed to maintain a healthy balance.

-castile soaps (like Dr. Bronner’s) has a pH of about 8.9. these are not suggested.

-never insert any cleansing agents into your vagina.

-the information above applies to any gels, deodorants, perfumed products and wipes, too. these can all disturb your natural balance.

-while they still pose a possible risk of irritation, unscented baby wipes are the lesser of evils regarding “freshening up”.

-pay attention to your irritants and triggers. different people, different reactions

-everyone has different stances and different methods that work for them. if you aren’t experiencing vaginal discomfort or odd changes, you don’t have to discontinue certain product use. i do, however, recommend a trial period of leaving these products alone due to their effects on your vagina.

-allow your vagina to breathe. keep too-tight clothing to a minimum. cotton panties are the best option next to not wearing any at all. rotate the washcloth and towels you use to clean and dry your vagina.

-urinating after masturbation or sex reduces the amount of bacteria in your urethra wiping ‘front to back’ keeps rectal bacterial away from your vagina.

-naturally, food alters your vagina. balancing your diet in general and including things like pineapples, strawberries, yogurt, soy (the list goes on!) can influence your pH.

-beverages like water, cranberry juice and pineapple juice are also proven to improve vaginal health, and may even improve taste.

-adding a probiotic supplement can increase the amount of “good” bacteria called lactobacillus-your vagina.

-the less ideal your vaginal balance/pH is, the more vulnerable you are to infections and STDs.

-when it comes to internet home remedies, your mileage my vary. try everything with caution and research thoroughly.
