– Buzzfeed has a helpful flow chart for that pesky question women face today: am I wearing pants?

– The Nieren Blog shares which 3 networks you need.
– Learnvest has some thoughts on how to “splurge right.” Meanwhile, Mint's blog says you need both a 401K and an IRA.
– For everyone whose produce goes bad before you eat it: Lifehacker suggests lining the bins with paper towels. Nice!
Lining the bins with paper towels sounds like a really good idea. I’ve been keeping cut up produce (lettuce, celery) in ziploc bags with paper towels, and it helps a lot!
I just looked at the flow chart, and found out that I am only “probably wearing pants.”
Working remotely — any thoughts?
i asked this a little while ago and got some really good responses!

Zelda, thanks. I missed that.
Don’t know if you or anyone else will check back on this page, but if so, here’s a follow-up question — is it presumptive to ask (up front, during benefits/compensation talks) that the company pay for the quarterly visits to the headquarters that were mentioned/suggested in the original thread?
If I am offered the job, it’s up to me to work remotely or on-site. They have a mix of people doing both. So while I feel like the company should pay for travel costs in general, really it would be my choice to work remotely, so maybe they’d see it as my choice, my costs.
What about a computer? Is it reasonable to expect the company to provide that, or are you generally on your own there too?
