Alternatively, you can make sure you have pasta and sauces. They are always easy to make.

I've always love the idea of birth tree. In the manga "Bunny Drop", Daikichi planted a birth tree for his adopted daughter Rin when she was 7 years old.

When he was planting the tree, he told her the story about ninjas. Ninjas plant a tree when they were young and jump over it everyday as part of training. As the tree grow, they would jump higher and higher. That's how they can eventually jump 30 feet high. It started out as a joke, but she ended up being very tall and athletic when she was in high school. I've always thought this is a lovely story.

Moving is definitely a problem. It's a great idea you guys mentioned to plant a tree via environmental organizations. I mean, it would be taken care of as well! No worries even if you don't have a green thumb.

"Did you see that ludicrous display last night?" (from The I.T. Crowd)

When you are seated, your knees should be squared, firmly planted on the ground. i.e. lower legs and thighs forms a 90 degree angle.

I don't believe in using exercise ball. From an NYT article, it says that it only burns 4 more calories per hour and no evidence that it improves posture. Better off stand up and walk around every hour or so.

I was born and raised in Hong Kong. When you live there, it becomes ordinary.
People there bitch a lot about small spaces, but in a bragging manner like it makes them tougher than you. (ahem, New Yorkers) It is actually not as packed as they would want you to believe. It is largely poor designs and unwilling to change the way things have been done.
Hong Kong homes are designed very differently than the western ones. They have large living rooms, but bedrooms fits only a queen bed and nothing more. A 500 S.F. home would have a 200 S.F. living room but 80 S.F. bedroom. Kitchens are in the size of an airplane toilet. It says a lot about the people. They care more about appearances, what they show to others matters more than privacy and comfort.
I've left Hong Kong for almost 15 years. I'm overwhelmed whenever I go back for a visit. On the other hand, I love how I can just get on and off public transport everywhere. I can go pub crawl without having to work out the logistics or coerce a friend to be the designated driver.
The biggest problem with Hong Kong overpopulation is food security and food waste. There is no food production in the city. They look down on mainland China, but if China stopped exporting food, Hong Kong will run out of food within 3 days. Yet they waste half of all their food. I die a little whenever I eat in Hong Kong. People would buy a Happy Meal to collect the toys without taking one bite!
Anyway, I'd say Hong Kong is like Panem in Hunger Games. Mainland China is sorta all the other districts.

p.s. To that math nerd who compared Singapore to Hong Kong. You must know that Hong Kong Island is a hill with large body of water. A large portion of the city is not feasible for building. (I used to lived in Trafalgar Court in which the builder went bankrupt for having to build extra miles of supports. Very unstable soil.) Hence it is often more packed.

Alternatively, you can get one of those keyboard cleaning goo thingy. They sell them at dollar stores. It is a lot stickier and cheaper than playdoh.

It is the matter of taste.

But my concern is that they shouldn't have to wear socks. I don't understand why chair designers haven't thought of this fundamental problem. Expensive chairs destroy wood floors and carpets, makes a lot of noise. I have resolved to using cheap plastic IKEA chairs.

You could have avoided the bubbles by spraying the surface with water before adding the contact sheet. It gives you a little slack before it is completely dried. Allows you to stick and re-stick, you can push and slide it for several minutes before it is settled. Try it, if you've decided to redo it.

If not, pop it like a blister just as mentioned in previous comments.

My grandmother add salt to mangoes. It reduces the bitterness and sourness, but it can only go so far. I hate when she add like half cup of salt to hopelessly sour mangoes... disgustingx2.

I'm not sure how much money you'd want to sink into your rental. If you are up for it, you could install double bi-fold doors. It will looks like a closet.
