This Weeks Discussion
Driving in the 21st century aint what it used to be.
Kristen admits that even though shes a car nut, a lot of us dont really need one.
(Of course, its a whole different conversation depending on where you live.)
But for those of us who do drive, how the heck can we improve?
A lot of it simply comes down to paying attention.
A nervous robot isnt always the best copilot.
(Its fine, whatever.
Fine unless I want to take a road trip in Europe.)
This week were talking shame, comfort, and toys.
Kristen: Kristen learned that shame is a great motivator to go to the gym.
Shame doesnt sound like the most pleasant motivational life hack but shes being her own tough boss.
Melissa: Melissa has rediscovered the wonders of a heating pad.
A heating pad can alleviate both mind and body of all sores and woes.
Maybe not your mind but it sure is comfy.
Kristen recommends sitting on it like a hen sitting on a nestif the nest were warming the hen.
A reverse chicken, basically.
Andy: Myself, I treated myself to a model kit.
My current project is aStrandbeest model kit.
