Disagree. First, it shouldn't come to an argument. Talk like civilized people. But never "bow down". Stand up for yourself through out life.

Do agree with the other two.

Coke and oil dry mixed is a good way to get oil stains off the driveway.

That's a lot of money to spend on cleaning a driveway

Oh you meant Coca Cola

: My bad

Leave home with plenty of time to get to work so you don't have to drive like a bat of hell. You can get to work at an even speed and save gas.

Go buy a small air compressor that plugs into your cigarette lighter and keep it in your car. It's a lifesaver if your tire isn't gashed. You can just air your tire up and take it to a repair shop without changing your tire.

Keep a phone book in your car

Buy a GPS if you don't already have one and stash it under your seat. They aren't that expensive anymore and are lifesavers if you get lost or want to take a trip somewhere.

It depends on what kind of argument it is. If it's trivial just drop it. Some things aren't work arguing over.

When I say 'argument', I'm not talking about yelling and getting upset. I just mean arguing the point, like you would in a debate.

I guess I could rephrase it as "Don't always have to be right".

 

[CliffnDallas]

If there's blood in your urine. See a doctor.

 

[Jon88]

See above.

I agree about standing up for yourself. Don't let people run over you.

Ah, got ya. I agree with you. It's funny sometimes to see grown people go from disagreement to a full blown argument because neither is listening to the other.

It shouldn't have been smoking.....bad dog!!!!!

I didn't read the whole thread yet, but wanted to post one before I forgot it, so sorry if its been posted already...

If you have antpiles in your yard, go out at night and pee on them. Instant death to the ants.

This reads funny

Chew gum when cutting onions.

Seriously??

 

[Phrozen Phil]

Chew gum when cutting onions.

Great tip. works every time, especially if you have to chop up a big bunch.Chewing gum is also good if you're making desserts, as you're less likely to "sample". (BTW, a little sampling is OK, but it's easy to overdo it)

When buying a new car, ask to see the invoice and pay only $100 over. The dealer still makes money given they have what's called "hold back" built in and you know you're getting the best deal you can get most of the time.

Just remembered two more:

1) When you are really hot, don't douse your head with water, pour it over your forearms. It cools your body faster. This was told to me years ago and it works.

2) When trying to teach a child to ride a bike without training wheels, take only one off. They will start out by leaning on the training wheel but before they know it, they are basically riding on just the two wheels. Worked for both of my children. (And it saves the parent from having to chase the bike on long straight aways.: )

"Never get caught with a dead girl or a live boy" is still pretty sound advice.

Depends on the car and the market. But, yeah, it's true that most people that don't research the costs pay entirely too much for a new car.

For perfect fresh asparagus everytime, microwave in a covered dish for 2-3 minutes. Add a little salt and lemon.

When you get someone's cell phone voicemail message, hit * to skip the talking and get to the beep. (this works on the Verizon network, may vary on others)

Every man should carry a small pocket knife, everyday. You may wonder what you would use it for. Carry one for a week and you will wonder why you ever went without one.
