Used to think it was just me being cheap or something. But lately I've been paying more and getting less everywhere and it changed my mind for sure.

Honestly, I used to just wing it and figured my phone would work everywhere. Then I got stranded on a forest service road with zero bars for three hours last fall. Now I download the whole route onto my phone before I even leave the house, learned that lesson the hard way.

Oh my gosh, isn't that the truth! My nephew is a professional photographer and he told me that his biggest trick is using a little film camera that looks like a toy, people just ignore it. @tessa_kim3 I bet you're getting some of the best candid shots at parties now with that little point and shoot.

The whole world is like that now. Tried to microwave a frozen burrito the other day and it took me three button presses just to get through the menu for defrost. We've replaced simple speed with layers of options nobody asked for. My old alarm clock had two buttons and woke me up faster than my phone does with its sleep tracking and smart alarms that just let me oversleep.

Three 4x8 sheets and it still looked wavy, I was wrong about aluminum.
