You are 23. You have no idea what the next four decades will hold for you.

It's better to retire with more than you need than with not enough.

I will be retired as of May 6 of this year. I plan to stop saving for retirement on May 5.

Don't focus too hard on acquiring wealth, but also don't make the mistake of thinking that you can glide through life without a reasonable amount of money.

Don't put off doing things - we are not guaranteed tomorrow.

Take risks, and love deeply, even if it leads to hurt sometimes.

then, for clarity, OP should have added the words "as each other" to the sentence.

What OP meant is not what OP actually said. Day of the week is fundamentally different from date.

On the other hand, Easter, Mardi Gras and Thanksgiving are each always on the same day of the week.

There is a TV ad for an app called Calm (ad features a short segment of "brown noise."

I find the brown noise to be intensely irritating; it sounds like loud static.

For books you find vile, trashing them is the way to go. I am very protective of books in general, but I found two hardbacks full of right-wing hatred in the house I bought. They went straight into the dumpster.

When I was growing up, there was always a pencil sharpener in a closet or utility room.

And you were only able to do that because of all the behind-the-scenes work that was done ahead of time to fix the issue.

The amount of blood given in donation is well within the limits that the body can survive for a time without, and readily rebuild and come back from.

With traumatic injury, when massive amounts of blood are lost at once, there is not enough left to keep oxygen and nutrients flowing to the heart and other organs. The transfused blood brings the body back up to a functional level of blood, and then the body can take over and make more.

>Not everyone but y2k hysteria definitely affected some people.

Oh, the hysteria was definitely a thing - but what I am saying it that it was not entirely unfounded; things would have been bad if not for a lot of people putting in a lot of time to fix it.

Literally nobody thought that it would be a world-ending problem.

But it most certainly would have been a world-disrupting problem, if not for the massive teams of computer scientists working overtime to fix all the code.

The only reason that nothing much went wrong is because of all the worker-hours spent making all the necessary changes.
