Cozi?

My husband and I resorted to a giant whiteboard calendar, and agreed that if it wasn't on the whiteboard, it didn't exist. Caused a few arguments when he wanted to go gaming but the calendar said dinner with his parents... He came around. Nothing's written in stone, we can decide stuff together, but no more of this "oh I forgot to tell you I'm doing Y tonight instead of X." He learned to write things down pretty darn fast.
If you don't live together, Google Docs might be an alternative, or a family organizing app like Cozi.
Sorry, I just don't want to be with someone who uses food as a drug, and I want to be with someone who can go running with me, and go for long hikes. It's a matter of interest and getting along with my partner. As for aging and bodies looking the same, lulz.
You are bad at trolling and being condescending though. Try harder. Maybe call me sweetcheeks, hun, babe or something. But good one on telling me I'll be fat in the future, more motivation to continue being awesome. <3
As an atheist myself, I've never seen a problem with children believing in Santa. I did, just as I believed in unicorns and fairies and mermaids. I had a big imagination and had a lot of fun making up stories about all such things. Children have wonderful imaginations, and there is no more reason to say Santa doesn't exist then there is to tell them that Mickey Mouse at Disney World is a college student in a mask working at minimum wage. Let them have their years of blended reality and fantasy, of magic and make-believe. That is the mind of a child growing, exploring and working exactly as it should. They'll grow out of it soon enough (though if they're lucky, they'll keep the visionary and exploratory mindset). Santa is as much a part of that as anything else. And, really, to say Santa doesn't exist is like saying Harry Potter doesn't exist. They're not physical people, but they are ideas that are so much bigger than one person could ever be. This mother sums it up nicely i think.
You kind of already did this, but my favorite memory is when my grandfather wore heavy boots and stomped around outside of my window. In addition, he had bells and a flash light (I'm assuming) with a red bulb to mimic Rudolph. He also had a habit of eating the cookies and milk I left, along with leaving a note from 'Santa' talking about how much he appreciated me, how special I was, and specific examples of how my behavior got me on the 'good list.' (This sounds incredibly creepy, but I can't think of any other way to describe it).
I think this is a great way to break the news that Santa isn't real, and why parents choose to encourage him. Since your daughter is 8, and is so infatuated with the idea, it might be an interesting way to 'break it' to her.
The wife and I use Cozi. It has a calendar, to do lists and of course grocery lists. It can be updated from the computer or the phone and it syncs instantly.
The article is pretty hyperbole. The examples just make it seems like she just fucking sucks at keeping a house clean. Why the fuck would she find additional stuff to do while cleaning the table?
I live alone and have no dishwasher, I can perfectly clean up after myself. If I put in 30 minutes per week it's super clean. I shop on my way home from the gym, I cook for myself. Now add 2 kids and the workload goes up 1000%. Now add some life hacks for having kids and it goes down by 50% again. But still 30 minutes per day wouldn't be enough for 2 kids. But now add a partner and buy a dishwasher. If I could tell her "Do the dishes" "shop and cook for that" and it gets done my workload would go down by 95% no fucking idea what she is complaining about, delegating tasks isn't hard.
Keeping track of what you have to do isn't hard either, get some calendar and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64P0nhH_6yU stick some plastic wrap on your door, put a sharpie next to it and you have a perfect whiteboard to organize your life. Tell your partner to do 2 of the things on there daily and send you an msg of what is done. Also make a whiteboard for the kids, they love that stuff. Also there is are apps for that - http://www.cozi.com/
For alarms in general, Timely is great. You can customize the ringtone for each of course, but also the snooze timer, a challenge requirement (math, matching, or pattern), and whether it slowly ramps up the volume to wake you gently. You can also sync your alarms across multiple devices, and manage which alarms go of on which devices. It's great to have one alarm go off by my bed, and then 10 mins later, another one goes off downstairs. http://www.bitspin.ch
I also recommend Cozi for household management. It's got a calendar (with events you can assign to categories or people), shopping lists, and recipes (that can be converted to a shopping list). You can have multiple users sync between devices, send event reminders directly to your phone, and log in from a desktop browser too for easier access. My husband and I both have it, so we both add appointments and missing food as needed, so it's lot easier to keep each other in the loop. http://www.cozi.com
You could do something like http://www.cozi.com/shopping-lists/ it has a app for mobiles and website / Win10 APP so you could use that and then when at the store the phone has all the items ready.
I personally would create my own web based list so instead o typing i can tap in items like bread, milk etc as you want the experience to be quick and easy. You could also use a barcode scanner so when you finish an item scan it before binning so it's added to the list.
We have 9 days until our house needs to be put back together so things are getting a little hectic. About a week ago I started writing on the walls. One wall has the master list and then her list & my list... Then randomly wherever the projects are I've got cut lists, measurements, etc. written on the walls there too.
I keep spreadsheets for everything and a giant folder for receipts. Usually I'm really good about scanning the receipts (then shredding them) and keeping up the spreadsheets but the electric rewire put a wrench in that (office & storage is off).
We also use an app called cozi. Was her idea and I hated it at first... but it's actually really handy to make shared lists. It's free. As much as I hate to admit it, it works well for us.
If you're looking for something online, Cozi has a great meal planner/shared family calender (you can set appointments or other obligations into the calendar so everyone knows what's going on for everyone else.
I also have a meal planner that I made that works great for us... The pocket holds slips of paper with common meals that we enjoy (including pizza night, date night, fend-for-yourself night, and special events) that I sort onto the daily magnets. The yellow note pad is used to make my shopping list each week. I do my shopping one night a week (usually Sunday after church) and pick up things that won't hold the day of (garlic bread for instance). This gets Hubby involved in the meal planning, we all know what is going on for the week, and everyone knows where the shopping list is so we can easily add to it.
Recipe here. and a similar version here. It looks really fast and simple, I think I'll give it a try tomorrow, maybe with a side of calabacitas.
I'd go for redundancy. Keep them multiple places: on your hard drive, on an external backup hard drive, and on a (trusted) cloud server.
To be safest, you want to:
Not have them only on one hard drive on one computer. If that hard drive crashes in an unrecoverable way, they are lost.
Not have them only in one physical location. If you have them on a hard drive on your computer, and an external hard drive in your house, you are fine if one of the hard drives dies a horrible death. You are not fine if a meteor (or, still very unlikely but more probably, a fire or flood or theft) destroys your house and/or possessions.
Not trust them just to CDs/DVDs. Those will degrade over time.
Not archive them remotely somewhere that will usurp your copyright on the photos (unless you realize this and are okay with it). For example, if you post your photos to Facebook, the Terms of Service agreement you signed gives them permission to use them in advertisements. A general rule of thumb is that by paying for cloud storage you generally are not giving away your rights, and that if you get the storage free you generally are. BUT THIS IS NOT ALWAYS TRUE IN EITHER CASE so you'll actually need to read the Terms of Service agreement.
As any one in a LDR can tell you, technology is your friend.
You can email your sub a checklist and/or a list of demands, and he can email you back status updates. Demand photographic evidence to show that he's done what is needed and that it meets your standards. No photo = assume that he hasn't done the task.
You can also use a shared checklist/calendar app like Cozi to continually add to your demands list and set deadlines for your sub.
Obviously you will need to negotiate your sub's service to suit the both of you. I'd recommend doing research on service relationships and talking to people (or simply going through the discussion threads) on service-orientated groups on FetLife.
Look like shit from the 90s. I can't believe the 90s are coming back. Everyone remembers parachute pants and workout pants that hip hop and rockers wore.
This photo sums it up nicely.
Cozi is a great app for families who do a lot or have kids that do activities. Its biggest strength is its calendar - lets you see at a glance who is supposed to be doing what and when. But I also love the shopping list. Everything syncs across devices for the whole family. Last but not least it has a website counterpart too which is SUCH a big help.
Edit: scratching what I said before. I found it! The link function apparently doesn't work on my computer, so here's the unabbreviated URL: http://www.cozi.com/live-simply/recipes/s%E2%80%99mores-truffles
My wife uses Cozi calendar. There is an android/iphone app, windows/google gadget app & web portal with the ability to receive notifications via text/email. I suggest you take a look at it. Cozi Link
Cozi allows you to do all this and more. It's based on the web and mobile so you can also check it from your laptop and add to it when you are in class.
It has calendaring, to do lists, shopping lists meal planning and more.
It also allows you to add as many "family" members to the account as you want. This means all your friends can look up your schedule and see when you are in class or having dinner with that special someone.
I have about 8 of my best friends all on the same account and it makes the easiest scheduling and group times ever. We all have out own to do lists and we each can set up group events. It even allows us to upload stories and pictures to our journal for everyone in the group to see and read.
It's not just for android either. iPhone, Blackberry, and Palm all have cozi apps that can access the system.

I think that has less to do with age and more to do with how you carry yourself. Being pushed aside or ignored can happen at any age.
This is a great article posted on r/fitness of people that defy the defintion of being 'elderly'.
I'm sorry about your grandma though. I hope you'll get to see her soon to give her a hug.
