Woman says she's too pretty for work
My wife says the same thing and has had a devil of a time with sexual harassment on the job.
That sounds terrible until I tell you that we have our own company and we're the employees. And then you think about it for a while and it still sounds terrible.

The bread continues to cook, even after you take it out of the oven.
That's why you butter it. The butter from the refrigerator dissipates the heat and quenches the cooking process. You further quench the cooking process by putting it into your stomach.
You're welcome.

I wish NaRM were here to tell me: Get a job you lazy hippies!
I was also a night owl, and never thought I'd ever turn into an earlier riser. Since moving to the land of sunshine in CA, my work requires being up for east coast 9am, but amazingly the routine has grown on me. Now for weekends, I "Sleep in" until 6:30am.
Of course, I'm less fun at late night parties. Like now.

What if you wake up at 4:00-4:30 without having to get up?
Then it's probably time to quit whatever job is waking me up in the middle of my sleep.
Not that I ever follow my own advice, of course.

People not in the top 20% clearly have more money than we realize.
Or they have access to easy money.
Of course those with access to easy money but not enough money on their own are going to borrow the bare minimum to ensure they live within their means.
Edit: And surely those who loan easy money will loan only those amounts that can be paid back.

2. One flat has regular open house with very Russian sounding agent's name, never shows up on MLS. WTF.

Forget it. I wouldn't be caught dead in less than 8100 sq ft, and my 3 caretakers each require their own home.
