This works like a game, but I would hope it serves a useful enough purpose not to be considered a game thread under the SDMB rules.
The idea is this: Each post provides some advice for the problem in the previous post and then submits a new problem hoping that the next post can provide advice for it.
The ‘rule’ is lax, so that if you have advice for a post out of sequence (not the previous post) you are welcome to reply.
As the OP I cannot supply advice for the previous post. I can only submit a problem.
So I submit this: How do I make living where I live seem like being on holiday?
Flee to the backcountry. Gather weapons and supporters, identifying the U.S. government as ready and willing to sacrifice the people’s civil rights for their benefit. When your following is big enough, break out into open revolution. If you can hide amongst the populace the troops will be unable to get you. Then, when the government kicks its current slow removal of civil rights into overdrive to catch you, a great many people will believe you, and follow you. Eventually, even the army won’t be able to stop you. When you take Washington D.C. following the chaos of the 2012 elections and install yourself as the Chief Advisor of the one who is supposedly genuinely the democratic choice of the people, you will be in a posistion to tell the Justice Department, which should be in your hands by now anyway, to back off.
How do I get Cindy Ann Rajeerav to agree to go to the dance with me?
Fuji - Invent little games to play - count cars, make up backstories of the passers-by, try to find something new and interesting in anything you looking at, whether it’s large or small.
Lizardling - try a Breakfast Tea, particularly Irish Breakfast. They are blended for caffeine content. Also, Black Teas are they most highly caffeinated tea in general.
Add a little extra tea to the pot or ball than usual, and steep a little longer.
Q: What’s the best way to train myself not to ‘um’ and ‘ah’ when I’m talking? I do it unconsciously, and don’t even realize I’ve done it until I hear a recording of my speech.
Hire an albino monkey to kick you in the balls for one month each time you use the word whiskers. By the time the month is over, you will no longer be using those fillers.
The monkey doesn’t have to be albino, but it adds an element of fun to the equation.
Q: Where can I find another albino monkey this time of night?
Albino monkey’s are easiest to find at this time of the night, since they glow in the dark due to the radiation treatment they have been getting. The secret to capturing one, is to stay still and sound like a banana until the monkey is close enough to grab.
Q. How can I stop my back from aching without resorting to modern medicine?
You can’t.
Where can I find an entire population of un-stressed, civil, considerate persons in a temperate climate with an appreciable degree of topography supporting trees with lush fruit no more than 6 feet from the ground and an approved pubic water supply… because I’ve looked and so far have come up quite emptyhanded.
The problem, lieu, is that you’re being too picky. I suggest giving up one of your criteria. Perhaps the approved pubic water supply would be a good place to start.
Q: How can I motivate myself to begin and maintain a workout schedule?
