The latest tips I've posted to TipDrop.
| Here's the preferred method of one guy whom I worked with.. a very large pizza every shift, huge soft drink and steady grazing on chips and assorted snacks. He now weighs as much as a Mac truck! Tip Credibility: 16 |
| Interesting, and right on. You could have used fewer, "you know". The younger generation hasn't done anything, nothing! All the tech they enjoy THEY DIDN'T INVENT. They're still on the tit! Our tit. They should shut up: http://tinyurl.com/285ubjl Tip Credibility: 16 |
| Audio books are a great invention. But personally, the only thing I listen to when I'm working out is my breath. Distractions from the moment seems to be very common in our Western society. A walking meditation can get more done then simply miles walked. Tip Credibility: 4 |
| If you want to get somewhere with TipDrop I suggest you take a few of these tips, write a short article around them and publish them on Gather.com. At least there you can earn something for your time. I'm on my 10th $25 Gift Certificate. I buy books. Tip Credibility: 5 |
| The next time you want to work on experiencing a slow death try this: Eat a daily diet of fast foods chased by cheesy pizza followed up by a good bake sale. This is a recipe we see being followed daily in many American corporations. Tip Credibility: -20 |
| Bears are big, powerful, wild animals. Tapping one on the nose you found rooting through your campsite because he looked, "just like Smokey the Bear" is an act of suicide. Tip Credibility: 26 |
| Marital arts forms (katas) are great for developing and maintaining mind power. Done properly they teach one to focus, to eliminate wasted motion. With practice they become a form of moving meditation. Tip Credibility: 21 |
| One of the most neglected areas of online marketing is good copyright. Use a spell/grammar checker along with a good dictionary to pick up on what the spell checker screws up! Potential customers expect a great presentation. Tip Credibility: 23 |
| I had an uncle who retired very well off. So to keep himself busy he decided to take on part-time jobs just to see how certain things were made or done. He'd work a week here, a week there. Problem was, everyone wanted to hire him full-time! Tip Credibility: 11 |
| The best way to overcome sadness IMHO is to cultivate a strong sense of humor. Life is funny! People are funny! And the stupid things that make us sad are funny! Smile, dance, laugh, shake the world. You have the here and now to be happy. Tip Credibility: 35 |
| Mountain climbing presents an excellent opportunity to kill yourself. You know you're about to do something really stupid when the guides, who live in the mountains, offer up prayers and refuse to go any further. Tip Credibility: 25 |
| Auto Refinishing: if your car has dings and rust and you lack skill in this work it pays to take it to a professional. On the other hand, if you want to learn how to do this work, minor dings and surface rust is not beyond your ability. Tip Credibility: 9 |
| Auto Refinishing: after thoroughly washing your car with soap and water then a degreaser, mark any ding and dents you find with masking tape or chalk. Be sure to look the surface over carefully from many angles. Photograph your car for later reference. Tip Credibility: 23 |
| Road rage often leads to a game of cat and mouse. As things escalate one driver invariably ends up in the side of the other driver. But the real problems, and hence the suicide, takes place when you realize both vehicles are your own. Tip Credibility: 15 |
| Performing stupid stunts for television is a great way to commit suicide. The upside is you'll impress your friends with your daring. The downside is they will remember you as a really stupid jackass they once knew. Tip Credibility: -9 |
| Regular use of strong drink or drugs will eventually catch up with you. Doing them both together is like putting a gun to your head only more drawn out. Only the young believe death comes quickly. Wisdom tells us that in most cases the opposite is true. Tip Credibility: 18 |
| Scaling an overpass to scribble your name onto a bridge support is considered a daring move by some. To the rest of us it's just plain stupid. And stupid people often have an extremely short life span. Tip Credibility: -8 |
| Auto Refinishing: your painter can not cover up bad prep work. So if you elect to prep the car to save money make sure you understand what it involves. Washing and degreasing surfaces requires careful attention to detail. Note any dents and rust. Tip Credibility: -9 |
| Auto Refinishing: Personally, I would not use peanut butter to prep a surface for repainting. Use something such as Prep-Sol. It will remove tar and other sins. But this is a strong solvent so do NOT let it stand on the surface for long! Tip Credibility: -9 |
| Auto Refinishing: when washing your car to prepare for new paint be sure to look for any tar and bug marks. Wash these findings carefully with the proper removers: degreaser for the tar, hot water and soap for the bug markings. Tip Credibility: -9 |
| Auto Refinishing: washing your car before giving it to your painter is a good idea because oftentimes refinishers do not take the time to properly was a car before prep work. This can drastically affect the long term quality of the new finish. Tip Credibility: -10 |
| Auto Refinishing Tips: Save $100+ when going to MAACO. Never pay extra for sealer and hardener! What they tell you is absolutely true. But also true: they will use both even if you don’t pay for them to insure the integrity of the finished job. Tip Credibility: 40 |
| Parachuting from an airplane without a parachute is a major safety infraction. It happens more often then not to experienced jumpers. In three words: DON’T DO IT! Tip Credibility: -14 |
| Marital Art Training: If you use to train in the martial arts but gave it up for something else then you never really “got” it. How does one put aside a way of life? Health, fitness and even simple balancing on one foot are a lifetime pursuit. Tip Credibility: -9 |
| Martial Art Training: Once I worked with a blind man. I thought it was a hopeless situation. But his enthusiasm for the arts outweighed what he didn’t have. His perception of distance and sound taught me much. Tip Credibility: -13 |
