If you have the unfortunate experience of having to put a pet down, find a vet that will make a house call. Don’t let your pet’s last moments be somewhere they are afraid of. -
2.
If you want to divide something among two people (usually kids), you get one person to divide, and the other person gets first pick on which piece they want. Everyone wins and it ensures the person who divides is fair. -
3.
When you spill wine on fabric (clothing, carpet, couch). Dab it carefully with a paper towel to absorb most of the liquid, then pour salt over the remaining stain. The next day, the salt will have absorbed most the wine and you just vacuum it up -
4.
Get a blank book and have each family member over 50 write down the life advice they’d want their descendants in 500 years to know. Keep adding to it and passing it down. You now have a family heirloom that won’t be pawned off for drug money, and will only get more useful as time goes on. -
5.
If you can smell your own perfume/cologne throughout the day, you have used it too much. It will annoy people. -
6.
If someone is getting worked up and overexcited and frustrated about a topic, they’re probably just venting and not asking for advice. Be there to listen, not to lecture. -
7.
Taking pictures with your phone at a large event? Turn off your flash! Your flash is only good up to 12 feet, the stage lights are a thousand times brighter and you are just draining your battery. No flash = better pictures! -
8.
If your copay for medication is too high, check the website of the company, they often have free coupons that could cover the entire copay or dramatically reduce it. They’d rather pay for your copay and receive your insurance payout than you not take their medication. -

f you like one song by an artist, but don’t dig the rest of their stuff. find out who the producer is and see what other work they’ve done. The producer can play a big role in how the final song turns out. -
10.
X percent of Y is equal to Y percent of X. So, if you want to find out what 7% of 50 is, you could instead find out what 50% of 7 is, which is 3.5. This means that 7% of 50 is also equal to 3.5. -
11.
If you want to learn a new language, figure out the 100 most frequently used words and start with them. Those words make up about 50% of everyday speech, and should be a very solid basis. -
12.
Want a good dog? Take them with you everywhere you go. There is a reason that dogs of street people are amazing, and cooped-up condo dogs are hyperactive spaz dogs. -
13.
Don’t ask people if they’re free on a certain date without specifying why you’re asking. Simply asking “are you free on Friday?” comes across like you’re tricking the other person into doing whatever it is you want them to do. -
14.
As a leader, give praise in public and give discipline in private.
