USA Rx: Can it Help You Save Money?
For years, this was true - if you didn’t have insurance, you were out of luck when it came to prescription drug costs. With more than 80 million uninsured and underinsured Americans today, thankfully, this is no longer the case. Even if you have insurance coverage, many insurance companies exclude certain drugs from coverage or place limits on the maximum amount they will cover in a year, meaning the medication you need might not be available to you when you need it most. Fortunately, USA Rx can help you save money, time, and frustration when it comes to your prescriptions.
Krisna GarciaPublished 4 years ago in Lifehack7 Ways to stay sane as an extrovert in Self Isolation
I think we can all agree that at the moment we collectively hate this episode of Black Mirror. Everything has come to a halt and we are all worried about our friends, our family and ourselves, however the one thing that’s going to make an impact more than anything right now is our mental health. Having the right outlook impacts how we survive this without going completely batshit crazy, and how we help each other. People on their own are calm and collected, whereas people in a group have about the same level of chill as a clowder of cats on catnip, (yes the word for a group of cats is a clowder). In this article I, an extrovert, am going to help you with ways not to completely fall down the rabbit hole, and use this time we have in limbo well.

In Isolation? 10 things you can start right now to stay sane
It's undeniable that right now the world is a frightening, depressing, anxiety-inducing place to be...but as with everything there is a silver lining. Being away from family, friends, and co-workers in this difficult time allows you to focus on projects or hobbies that you've always wanted to foster but just haven't had the time. Now that there is no longer a pressure to leave the house, no fear of FOMO, no need to prepare as you usually would for the tasks of the next day, you can concentrate on things that bring you joy.
Make Your Own Hand Sanitiser
Popular Opinion – Buy it. It’s cheap. Why bother spending many hours researching the active ingredients in a product and the ways in which it may be manufactured when it is normally readily available and relatively inexpensive to purchase?

I am from a small city in Atlantic Canada. A friend of mine from high school posted a picture from one of our two Walmart stores showing barren shelves where toilet paper, paper towel, and wipes are normally plentiful.
Amy CottreauPublished 4 years ago in LifehackKeep Your Workplace Safe This Flu Season!

Lauren WilliamsonPublished 4 years ago in LifehackI Sit Down When I Pee
As we look into the rearview mirror of time and watch the previous decade fade into history, we look to the road ahead, and with the virtue of hindsight, may be fit to wonder what it was that culturally defined the 'teensies', and more importantly, what it is that we should have in the trailer towing behind us, to bring into the new decade [discard car analogy here]. There are many fit answers to this question, but one obvious one may be that which is best summarised as the MeToo movement. Men have been put on notice in a very real and public way, for all the blunder and bluster with which they move through the world. From the grotesque to the mildly annoying, male-centric behaviour has appropriately been put under review, and I, a fellow man, would politely like to submit my own gripe to be put under review here also. And that is the idea that has cultivated within our culture that men and boys ought to stand up when they pee. In the following paragraphs I will be outlining two key arguments in advocation for a sitting down urination protocol, with sanitation and basic courtesy as the prime and most important reason, and comfort as its secondary.

Swati DubéPublished 4 years ago in Lifehack8 Ways To Look After Your Mental Health While Unemployed or Underemployed
For some, frustrations mount when either unemployed or underemployed. There are some factors within our control like our attitude that make the world of difference in coping in an uncertain world. How reliable and hard working you are can also help your situation; yet it sometimes feels like a stroke of bad luck - being in the wrong place at the wrong time that puts you on a chopping block for an unexpected lay off, or a cut in hours. Or even burn out form overwhelm and too much work while employed prior.
