What's the best "tip" you can share

[Chief]

Send thank you cards.

Call your closest friends and relatives on their birthday.

Raise your kids with a lot of love, but also discipline and structure. Rules are critical and be consistent. Pray with your children. Set aside time to do stuff with them individually. Give them chores.

Get a library card. You'll have an endless supply of free reading material.

Don't charge stuff. If you don't have the money, then your SOL. (With the exception of a home or car loan, but don't over-extend).

Have a date night with your spouse at least once a month. And don't ever tell your spouse "not tonight," or "I'm not in the mood." Even if you're not feeling it, help them out. If you don't, they may eventually look for it somewhere else.

Kill every snake you see. Use a shovel or hoe to chop their heads off.

Many people have garbage disposals. They get clogged up. A plumber will charge you a fortune to fix it and they are usually completely unnecessary. The disposal is a rather simple instrument. All it is really, is a spinning disc with some attachments to chop up the leftover food. When they get clogged it usually means the disc is jammed.

On the bottom of the disposal you will see this.

Right above the red button in the very center of the disposal that is designed to put a 1/4" allen wrench into and twist the disposal side to side. Most disposals come with a wrench. Put it in there and twist. It should free the disc. Then push that red button to reset the disposal. 9 out of 10 times that is all you need to do and it is back to 100%. Every now and then you need to fish something out of the disposal, and even less seldom you need to replace it.

Don't pay a plumber to do that either, PM me, and I will walk you through the installation. It is very easy.

A second tip is for the bad smells that you get with disposals. That is food down there and as it rots it stinks.

Always use cold water when running a disposal. Always let it run long enough to get all the food washed down. Especially rice or corn. Anything that could expand in size while in water.

Get an ice tray and fill it with red vinegar and freeze it. I recommend a different colored ice tray than you normally use if you do. For example if your ice trays are white, get a blue one. I say red vinegar because you don't want to accidentally have someone put white vinegar ice cubes in a drink.

Turn on the cold water, turn on the disposal, and throw in 3 or 4 ice cubes and let the disposal chew them up. The vinegar will disinfect and deodorize the disposal and the ice sharpens the blades. Leaves your kitchen smelling nice and fresh.

Baking soda and water made into a paste is also good for this. Just give them a scrub with an old toothbrush.

But that's just it.. there is no need to scrub, or mix anything. just a pitcher of hot tap water poured over the battery terminals disolves the corrosion.

Life is short. Take time to live it because once it's gone, it's gone.

Spend every penny you get, because you can't take it with you! :laugh2:

I'm in the Life insurance business and I can't tell you how many times we hear "I wish I'd had bought more Insurance when I was younger" or "a friend of mine just passed and didn't have any life insurance and now their spouse and kids are going to lose their home and not sure where to turn"

Life insurance will never be as cheap for you as it is today, and it's the one thing everyone needs, but never wants to be used...

Protect your family and loved one's make sure you have enuogh Life Insurance to completely pay off all your debt, house included, then if you'd like to help your kids go to college add that in. a good method to use is figure how many years to age 65 and multiply that number by how much you earn a year. That's a good starting point...

If you drink to much alcohol don''t pass out without chugging as much water as possible before you go to bed.


You'll avoid so many hangovers doing this.

sounds like a recipe for pissing your self in your sleep :laugh2:

Clement Stone, is that you?

All kidding aside, I have to agree with you on the value LS. I recently sold Ins., and it's crazy how tough it is to convince people to buy something so important. It's like squeezing blood out a turnip.

P.S. I fixed your typos.

Easier fix. If you know you're going to be drinking heavy one night, just buy a bottle of Pedialyte. Drink it down the moment you wake and within 15-30 minutes your hangover will be completely gone.

The only thing it doesn't fix is if you're still drunk / dizzy from alcohol still in your system. Any alcohol in your system is there until your body removes it. The aching body, pounding headache, and extreme dehydration are a thing of the past.

This isn't just another I heard this works for hangovers type fix. Try it once and you won't even consider any other options. Pededialyte is like Gatorade on steriods, but far and away better as Gatorade has many things you do not want while suffering from a hangover. Lots of sugar being one of them. Sugar causes you to urinate which causes more dehydration. The dehydration is a major part of the problem in the first place. It also has tons of minerals and electrolytes (much more than Gatorade) to help recover your energy.

Oh and Gatorade has propylene glycol. Which is basically anti-freeze. :laugh2:
