Quick Tips
 
Always wear waterproof mascara to your intervention.

If you've had a dicky tummy all day, don't think you can fart with abandon.

jinx 10-26-2008 05:11 PM

Brush your teeth before you get on the treadmill - or pick the one way over in the corner.

Trilby 10-26-2008 06:50 PM

whenever you're at a loss for words say, "that was a wicked googley!" and people will think you're smart or foreign or both.

Cicero 10-26-2008 06:55 PM

Don't re-tell the joke if you were the only person that laughed at it. They heard you the first time. It just wasn't funny.

Dial soap (bar) gets makeup stains out of clothing.

I'd ask you who was bowling, and if it meant India were all out yet.

I guess you're not supposed to stick q-tips in your ear?

Pie 10-29-2008 09:55 AM

Don't try to rip off your hangnails.
And don't forget to moisturize!

ZenGum 10-29-2008 06:07 PM

When changing the oil in your car, replace the oil drain plug before pouring in the new oil.

Aliantha 10-29-2008 08:35 PM

When getting up during the night to pee, make sure the door you thought was open is in fact open before trying to walk through the doorway.

Cloud 10-29-2008 08:46 PM

baking soda mixed with liquid soap makes a great cheap exfoliator

Aliantha 10-29-2008 08:51 PM

Does it actually exfoliate or just deep clean and remove all the oils from your skin?

Treasenuak 10-29-2008 10:50 PM

Do NOT drop heavy objects directly onto your toes. It HURTS. You will limp for days.

zippyt 10-29-2008 10:57 PM

Do NOT try and Mix 3 part epoxy Grout if you do Not know what you are doing !!!!

Expensive and MESSSSY !!

Quick tips?

if you want quick, DIY. Only bother me when you have time ;)

lumberjim 10-30-2008 01:28 PM

when photoshopping, use the layer feature a lot.

Undertoad 10-30-2008 01:58 PM

Can't afford new pro software? Search for the previous release on eBay. A "new-in-box and unregistered" version from four years ago may have all the features you need and yet be a third the price of new.

HungLikeJesus 10-30-2008 02:23 PM

Many programs have a good open-source equivalent (like The GIMP and Audacity) available for no charge.

Clodfobble 10-30-2008 03:29 PM

When making a pasta salad, always refrigerate for 6-8 hours before serving so that the flavors can blend.

classicman 10-30-2008 03:57 PM

Wrap celery in aluminum foil when storing in your fridge. It will keep weeks longer!

To test to see if an egg is fresh, immerse it in a pan of cool, salted water. If it sinks, it's fresh. If it floats, throw it away!!

Pie 10-30-2008 04:18 PM

White toothpaste can be used as spackle for small nail holes. If you don't care about the future residents of your dorm room.

lumberjim 10-30-2008 04:23 PM

toothpaste can also be used to polish cds if they get scratched

Tuggeth thou not upon Superman's cape. Neither shalt thou spiteth into yon wind. Pulleth not yon mask off of Ye Olde Lone Ranger.

It goeth without saying that thou shalt not messeth around with Jim.

Unless its LJ...then hammer on!

Sundae 10-31-2008 07:44 AM

Sweep your carpet with a long handled dustpan and brush rather than hoover when your landlady's son is asleep. Correct.
Leave the binbag open to put the sweepings into. Correct.
Leave the binbag on your bed because you're sweeping the floor. Hmmm, risky, but understandable.
Have a complete hand spasm when transferring the sweepings into the binbag and therefore transfer stray cat litter, bits of bone (from messy cat eating) and toenail clipping directly onto your CLEAN sheets. Incorrect.

Learn by my mistakes people.

Treasenuak 10-31-2008 07:47 AM

Always always ALWAYS ask for help when moving a large, heavy kitchen table with a gimp leg (the table, not the mover)

Shawnee123 10-31-2008 07:53 AM

Do not leave a bag of trash on the back porch for even 5 minutes when you live in critterville. Raccoons will make short work of your trash, and bare it for all the world to see.

Pie 10-31-2008 08:32 AM

Don't forget to set your clocks back on Saturday night.
And check your smoke detector batteries.

Undertoad 10-31-2008 08:45 AM

DST back - my favorite holiday

glatt 10-31-2008 08:57 AM

There is a statistical decrease in heart attacks the week after DST back. Of course, there is an increase in the spring to make up for it.

HungLikeJesus 10-31-2008 09:03 AM

So it's just delaying the inevitable by a few months.

Cicero 10-31-2008 03:07 PM

Don't schedule doctors appointments on Halloween. mmm'kay?:D

Pie 10-31-2008 03:14 PM

I have an appointment with my new GP on election day. That's going to be fun. :D

classicman 10-31-2008 03:20 PM

Don't use power tools to carve pumpkins. ITs way too much fun :D

why?

is it the extra hour sleep?

Clodfobble 10-31-2008 04:51 PM

Plus, if you forget to switch in the Fall, the worst that happens is you're an hour early for something. If you forget in the Spring, you're an hour late. Maybe you're fired, maybe you miss your grandma's funeral, who knows?

HungLikeJesus 10-31-2008 07:15 PM

I'm going to start setting my clock back an hour every Sunday - just to be safe.

xoxoxoBruce 11-01-2008 12:38 AM

Just what the fuck we need... an extra hour of 2008. :(

lumberjim 11-01-2008 12:42 AM

I've never seen:

Psycho

The texas Chainsaw Massacre

saw

The exorcist


tits! wrong thread! i meant to put this in here.

HungLikeJesus 11-01-2008 12:50 AM

What about:
Picture Mommy Dead
Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things
I Spit on Your Grave
Last House on the Left
Don't Look in the Basement
Sorry, Wrong Number
When a Stranger Calls
What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? or
Lady in a Cage
?

Stress Puppy 11-01-2008 12:54 AM

When executing a double lift, be sure to give the cards a little bend so that it looks more like a single card.

smoothmoniker 11-01-2008 01:14 AM

Never underestimate the importance of seeing her daddy dress up in a costume in making your daughter's Halloween complete.

Yes. That one extra hour reduces stress enough that you can see a dip in heart attacks. But in the Spring, losing an hour increases stress enough that there is a slight bump in heart attacks the following week.

Pie 11-03-2008 08:35 AM

Houses never look as good in person as they do on the internet.

If there is no picture of a certain room, you can be sure there's a reason. You won't like it.

Trilby 11-03-2008 02:09 PM

For the love of God, people, eat a vegetable now and again! It won't KILL you!

ETA: a NON FRIED vegetable. No ranch. No bleu cheese. Pah-LAYNE.

HungLikeJesus 11-03-2008 02:15 PM

Is bacon a vegetable?

I feel like we've had this conversation.

I'm really just spanking myself. I think it's been...oh...two months now since I ate properly. Granola bars, chocolate riesens, Burger King...feelin' the old pudge sprouting over my jeans. UGH.

I always have such a hard time getting them out of their wheelchairs, though.

Nonsense. Those heart attacks are caused by old geezers suddenly getting an eyeful of all the young lasses gadding about in their skimpy new spring fashions. Die happy, fellas.

Aliantha 11-03-2008 06:06 PM

Here's a quick tip.

Don't try walking down the hallway while cleaning our ears out with a cotton bud.

It really hurts when you misjudge the wall and your elbow and poke your eardrum.

Treasenuak 11-04-2008 10:36 AM

If the power socket isn't working, try flipping the switch on the wall that it's connected to. It'll save you a lot of time and frustration.




Yes, it took me twenty minutes this morning to realize that said switch had been turned off and that is why my sewing machine wouldn't turn on.

TheMercenary 11-04-2008 10:41 AM

Some other quick tips.

Looks like some kind of medieval bar code system.

Trilby 11-04-2008 11:23 AM

they're surgical blades. If a doc says he wants an "eleven" blade, then you get that one, etc.

SteveDallas 11-04-2008 12:01 PM

I read that as "elven" blade. Great, just what I need, a D&D-playing surgeon. "Nurse, get me the d20. I'm going to roll a saving throw against sepsis."
