Wow, my campus shuttle pass saved me!

Totally agree about the vodka trick, that's a lifesaver. I had a big batch of cider going last fall and the airlock dried out twice in a week. Switched to cheap vodka and never had the problem again. Those silicone airlocks sound perfect for long projects though, I should grab a couple. It's such a simple fix for a problem that can wreck your whole batch.

That whole idea of making money "feel out of reach" is where I see it differently. For me, it's not about the feeling, it's about the actual system. I just automate a transfer to a savings account at a totally different bank on payday. If I don't see it in my main account, I can't spend it.
