Let's give each other helpful life advice -

[Optimistic]

Various tips, tricks, n' life hacks:

*Clothes are wrinkly? Put them in the dryer with a clean,damp washcloth or small towel or a few minutes. Viola, less wrinkly!

*Boiling pot? Can't watch it? Lay a wooden spoon across a boiling pot and it won't boil over. I don't know why this works, but it does.

*Can't sleep. Bad sex life? Your bedroom/bed should be used for sleeping and/or sex only. Don't study/read/watch TV/etc in your bedroom. Associate your bedroom with sleeping and/or sex only. If you associate your bed with any kind of stress, it will carry over. Live at home or in a dorm where you have little privacy? Only use your bed for sleeping/sex only. If you do other things in that space, you will associate it with that space and you can't sleep/fuck good. Make it a sacred space. It will make a difference, I promise.

*Feel like crap on your period, ladies? Take prenatal vitamins during that time. Don't worry what your mother says. You need extra iron. Again,it just works. Go with it.

*Can't decide whether or not to throw that shit away? Put it in a box and write the date on it, if you haven't opened the box in 6 months or more, throw the box away. You obviously don't need that shit.

*Okay, the box is full of papers you need. Clothes? At the start of the year, put all your clothes in the closet with the hangers facing backwards. If, next year, some of your clothes haven't been turned around, you don't need them. Get rid of them.

Cinnamon doesn't really work that well on ants. Tried it. You need chemicals for that shit. Also for fleas. Fuck the garlic method.

Lyme disease can be incapacitating if not treated early.

When you first learn of Chris, it's best to call his home number and shout "JULAAAYYY" as loudly as possible to his answering machine. He's never heard that before and it will be really, really funny.

Got any advice for keeping the goddamn flies out of my house? I keep shit closed and locked and they somehow keep getting in. Hell, I even duct-taped the fireplace with plastic wraps.

Borax mixed with sugar will kill ants because it's sweet and they take it back to their nest where they'll feed it to the queen and she'll die from it. It's kind of an outdoor/hardwood floor solution though because you don't want sugar getting in your carpet.
I've totally tried this, it works pretty well.

Get yourself a Wonderswan and the ladies will adore you...

Though on a serious note, just keep putting yourself out there, dating does not have a set 100% guarantee formula, just stuff that may increase your odds, but not always guarantee you a date, thinking of dating advice more of increasing your probability of finding a suitable mate rather than an instruction manual to get a girl only to be frustrated when no women will want a romantic relationship with it and you'll be a lot less frustrated.

Things like making yourself look presentable shower, take care of your hair, put on some clothes that make you look like less of a frump, not being a total jerk that thinks he is entitled to a women just for being a good person when reality, he is just a total bastard, practicing socializing and actually going outside in real life and enjoy life, infact you shouldn't let your datelessness effect you from enjoying life, as long as you look presentable and don't act like a total Loveshy and continue to get involved with stuff you do have a decent probability, not a guarantee, but at least a chance.
Don't try too hard and beat yourself over for it, accept your singleness and do not take it as a personal attack if you are rejected since it could always be something about him/her and not always about you and if you just force a relationship when the guy/girl does not totally one hundred percent love you and want you, then that is not true love and you will find if you continue pursuing him/her to be fruitless, just think of it this way: isn't it better that you know now so that he/she won't waste months/years your time?

Also, if you think having a boy/girlfriend determines your worth, then you are really approaching life the wrong way. I found that every boyfriend, including Dun, I met was when I stopped actively trying to date and just continued to keep up with my appearance (not let myself go) and just get involved with life, funny thing about finding love is that you often find it in the least expecting areas... like the CWCki forums!

Got a can of disgusting spray-can of Axe lying around? If you have trouble catching a bee or other fuzzy insect that's bumbling around somewhere it shouldn't be just give it a douse or two of the spray and it will be unable to fly for a while. Squash it or just stick a sheet of paper under it if you don't want to harm it. You can toss it out of the window and it will be fine (unless a predator finds it and eats it, but you can't really take it upon yourself to protect nature from itself. That's just crazy).

Don't get your advice from the sperglords on the CWCki forums.

seriously though, I like the idea, but this might as well be it's own board category with subcategories, since the advice is going to range from relationships to car-care, cooking, computer stuff, etc... I'd be for that i guess if the mods were up for it.

I don't think you have to worry about that, these parts of the forum don't really get that much traffic you know.

I've heard if you tape a baggie of water to the top of your doorframe so its hanging in your doorway it will keep them out. Something about the light refracting off the water fucks with their vision and they think they can't go that way. Never tried it though.

10/10 worked 4 me

 

[Midnight Kissy Bull]

Got a cut but don't have a bandage? Smear lip balm over the cut and it'll stop bleeding right away. Obviously doesn't work with gaping wounds.

Feel a headache/migraine coming on, but don't have Tylenol/your medicine of choice? Take slow, deep breaths and ingest a small cup of coffee (or anything with caffeine). For migraines, this can be done as soon as the aura appears. (For me, the aura starts as a dot in the center of my vision, then spreads out as it grows into a ring, finally reaching the edges of my vision before fading away altogether. Then the massive pain begins. As soon as the aura ring has reached the edges of my vision, it's too late for this method to be fully effective and I'll just have to deal with a horrible headache for the rest of the day.)

Seltzer water really does get stains out. Some old stains might be harder to get out, though.
