We have a 100% shared income and budget, and each of us has a "Fun Money" category within the budget. We can save and spend from that category with no discussion or judgment. If we spend anything over $500 from a "family" budget category (like Home Improvement), we generally discuss it first.

We work from a $0 budget, so every dollar is assigned a job (category) before it's spent. We meet every couple of weeks to discuss the budget and make adjustments as needed. Has worked incredibly well for us for the last 10 years. I can't remember the last time we argued over finances.

I said something similar to my wife just a few days ago. She amazes me every day. I may not know you, but your clearly partner sees you like I see my wife, and I am so damn proud of her. I'm proud of you, too.

Americans do get time off to vote in 28 states. Sounds like yours is not one of them? Don't disagree with your sentiment, but there is law that clearly states employers cannot deny the request or retaliate.

That's not true at all. They have a wide variety of salt-free spice mixes....even a section of the product catalog for them.

I feel like this is the journey of all automation enthusiasts. We start with a giant dream plan and then reel it into reality. Don't automate everything...just the stuff that makes sense for you. Not that I don't appreciate the dedication involved in complex automation, but our family favorites are the simple ones like opening curtains at sunrise, or dimly turning on the kitchen lights when we walk in for a late night snack. Small things that take away mundane tasks.

I bought a Solo 2 just last week and have been very impressed. Great battery life, great performance, looks good, and easy to use. Seems to be built like a tank, too. Very solid. I'd recommend based on my limited experience with it.

Look for a recessed outlet box, then add your own outlet that has USB. I found a recessed box on Amazon from a company called Arlington, but I'm sure you could find them locally at a home improvement store near you.

The article is poorly written, but refers to a kids team. Evansville does have a pro baseball team, though. The Evansville Otters. They play in the Frontier league, and have been champions twice since starting the team in 1995. They play at Bosse Field, one of the oldest baseball parks in the country. They shot "A League of Their Own" there, actually. Last time I was there (late 90s), it was still decorated as it was in the movie, as the park would have been in the 40s/50s. Amazing place to see a game!
