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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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