If you’re attending a party where someone is bringing the pizza, beer, or a pricey main course and you want to give them money towards it, use a reverse negotiation strategy if you know they will refuse your generosity to contribute.

For example, if you genuinely want to contribute $20, hand them 1 ten and 2 fives. If the person really pushes back and refuses to accept it, try again and offer to give them $15 instead, and if they still push back, offer $10 or $5 instead. Most times, the person will at least accept a partial token of your initial generosity.

This type of negotiation also gives the recipient the leverage to decide what amount is acceptable using 3 bills totaling $20 vs. having to decide to accept or reject an initial offer of a $20 bill.

Just cancelled the service, and now I need to find someone to remove the dish and potentially patch the roof where it was attached. I’m interested to know how much I can expect to pay before I start calling around. Recommendations are also welcomed! Thanks!

Can’t say that Daniel will ever replace the likes of Shoestring or Stobe the Hobo train hopping and riding the rails across America, but it sure is nice to have new content and follow someone who has significant vagabond experience and embodies the rail riding lifestyle.

Behind Dickinson’s Goodyear Hall in the old shoe factory along W. Louther St. is a well fed feral cat colony that even has wooden cat shelters to keep them warm at night. It seems like this colony is supported by the college, college students, businesses and residents in return for low cost environmentally friendly pest control. There’s even a small junkyard owner off Reed St. where I’ve often seen cats hunting and stalking prey who also benefits from free pest control. I was just curious if anyone has more information on this colony and how long it’s existed.
