Nothing like “follow your dreams” or “do you whats best for you” , but specific suggestions or advice- for me I can think of three, all revolving around money, I’m a cheapskate -
someone (can’t recall who) advised how to get a dead remote back working- point it at the TV for a bit with the power button held down. I was about a day away from spending 75 bucks on a replacement from the mfg. until I read that.
**matt_mcl ** got me roundtrip from the airport to Downtwon Montreal for about C$4 instead of the C$70 I was going to pay for a cab, via city bus.
And whoever advised that in a pinch, to stretch out your weed, techincally you can smoke the seeds and stems in a bowl- thanks!
In a thread about insomnia, someone said they always focus on feeling the weight of their body against the mattress, and slowly go from the feet to the head. Works for me most of the time.
From Flander to never (EVER, I might add) Google “meat spin.” Seriously, do not do this! Majorly not safe for work, your computer, appetite or clickability quotient to shut the damn things off.
I mean it. I should’ve listened and now I’m spreading the word as penance.
I don’t know if this is specific enough, but it’s stuck with me - someone said to remember that you’re probably arguing with 12 year olds if you’re arguing online. That really snaps things into perspective for me.
ETA: You realize, faithfool, that you have instilled in me an almost irresistible desire to go do just that, right?
The ones that come to mind aren’t earth-shaking, but they’ve affected my daily life.
If you want to lose weight, freeze grapes, fruit segments or banana chunks for a substitute for popsicles/ice cream. My addition to this: it works best if you can cut out all other table sugar. The sweetness of the substitution is less than table sugar and the contrast is noticeable if you use the latter regularly. Thanks to the advent of Splenda, this actually is easier than you might think.
Diet Dr. Pepper is one of the best-tasting diet sodas.
To close plastic bags when you don’t have something to tie it closed, gather the ends of the opening and tie in a knot. It winds up being as air-tight as using a tie, which surprised me.
Instead of tyeing a double knot on your kid’s shoes, have the “rabbit run around the tree” twice instead of once. It’s nearly as solid as a double knot, but unties with the same pull of a single knot. Try it. It really is amazing.
