My wife and I live a little outside the city, and we always loved how quiet it is out here. Small neighborhood, lots of space, peaceful mornings… the kind of place people call it cute the second they pull into the driveway. The problem is, once they realize it takes about an hour to get into the city, the mood changes pretty fast.

That part never really bothered me because I work from home, so I’m not sitting in traffic every day anyway and I even forgot how it is sitting in the car and not moving for hours. But now that our family’s growing, we found another place that makes more sense for us long term, so we listed this house a while back. We’ve had plenty of interest, but then people start thinking about schools being farther away or the commute, and they back out and keep looking elsewhere.

I already dropped the price. And dropped even more than I wanted to and I’m not happy about it. Recently saw some cash offers and maybe I should just let them take care of it and deal with the headache themselves

trying to study but feels like nothing stays in my head, read something today and forget it next day, takes a lot of time but results are not great, not sure if it’s the way i study or just lack of focus, do you have any method that actually works or helps remember better?

not the obvious stuff everyone hears all the time, more like something simple that only made sense after you learned it the hard way

what was it and when did it finally click for you?

This started a few weeks ago and I genuinely do not know what to make of it. My cat began bringing me random things in the middle of the night. At first it was just toys which I thought was normal, but now it is things like socks, a scrunchie, even a spoon once
She drops them near my bed and just sits there quietly like she is waiting for something. If I wake up and acknowledge her, she seems satisfied and leaves. I am not sure if this is just her version of hunting behavior or if I accidentally reinforced something without realizing. Has anyone else had a cat do this with non toy items?

I had a rye bread once that had a really distinctive spiced flavor, but I can’t figure out what was in it. What spices are typically used in rye bread? Or could be used?
