Post your small tips and advice for alldeaf members.

Here's several of mine -

You dont have to be a member of Sams Club to buy liquor in their liquor store. And they cant charge you and additional fee.

If you go to McDonald's and order lettuce on a sandwich that doesn't normally have lettuce, make sure to ask for shredded and not the leaf. The leaf lettuce will cost you up to $.30.

Neer, EVER tell a woman that what she is wearing makes her look fat. No matter how many times she says it does herself you should NEVER agree with that. Even if she is 250 pounds she "looks great" :)
 
My advice: Never give a baby a sucker to eat on your new sofa.
 
Here's other one....

If you want to enjoy hotel continental breakfast without having to sit amongst the unwashed heathen, your room's coffeemaker will always be sitting on a tray. Use that tray to go to the lobby, load up with breakfast, and return to your room.

Your cellphone will sometimes erase the magnetic strip on your room key. Always keep your roomkey in a different pocket than your cell phone.

Never eat the food in airports, unless you absolutely have to. Trust me, it will suck, even if it looks good.

Any are tempted to request an exit row when they fly (for added legroom). What this ensures is that you'll be sitting next to a great big 400 lbs fatty who has requested the exit row as well. Don't do it.
 
Socks can be used as emergency toilet paper in extreme circumstances
 
My advice: never ever take your IPod to band camp for a week, I brought my Ipod to band camp for a week because its required since im' in the marching band and I put my IPod in my gym back and the screen had a crack on it and the bottom right of the screen had a black spot on it. Probably sunscreen sprayed into it..gahhh..
 
For all you drivers out there: when you pull into a parking spot, please show some consideration and park in the direction the lines are going. Meaning if the lines are straight, park straight, if the lines are diagonal, park diagonal. Anything less than that annoys the heck outta ocd people like myself.
 
If you ever rent a car, never bring any pets to ride or cause a humungous mess in the car or you will be fined for 100 dollars detail fee.

Big women also need love. They are not any different from thin women, just how their body is.
 
Rat-tails, mullets and Bolero ties- these are crimes against humanity. Avoid them at all costs.

If you insist on having a dog, please scoop the poop. There's nothing more digusting than stepping in your mutt's meadow muffins.
 
No amount of money, no measure of fame, no job, no relationship, no talent or skill - nothing does any good at all if we do not enjoy our lives.

Be happy today and every day! Live with more passion, laugh more; relax more; smile more; do more to make other people happy, and enjoy more.

Say it with your mouth/sign; stick it on your bathroom mirror; put it on your screensaver: "I am determined to enjoy today!" And influence everyone around you to do the same.

Do not worry about tmw or future, enjoy your life today! :D
 
Don't try to think in a cluttered room. Your mind will register all the **** and push out any creative or useful ideas you might have. This is why many people have their best ideas in the shower or on the john.

Clean the room or find an uncluttered area if you need to think.
 
Good thread, Lumbingmi.

If you wish to grow old with sanity:

1. Don't regret the past . . . learn from it.

2. Don't complain about the present . . . learn to live in it.

3. Don't fear the future . . . learn to plan for it.

I definitely agree with that. This is usually something that's hard to win. If she asks, "Am I fat?" No matter what answer you give her, she will always find something wrong with your answer and use it against you. :roll:

I learned this the hard way at RIT. I had my student ID and my Sidekick in the same pocket. While I was doing laundry, it stopped working. I ended up having to get a temporary card because it happened during the weekend and I couldn't get a new one until Monday. :(

I agree with you. One time, someone parked bad next to my car. I ended up having to go through the passenger side of my car. :roll:

I deal with this at my apartment complex. There are people who don't even bother picking up after their dogs. Grr...
 
Never get a seat near the toilet on any bus, train or plane. Phewwww

What if you have no choice to sit near restroom? lol

It's always good idea to reserve in the advance so you can choose your seating.
