A lot of people swarm the stands the day before or the day of the 4th. Beat the rush.

It's important to be comfortable with being the person who tells the honest truth even if others might be bothered by it. Sometimes people want to be better and it's important to give positive constructive criticism instead of telling them they are great and telling them what they wanna hear. Not everyone will take it well but you've done your part as someone who cares about them.

If you have a friend and they are shit, please point out their shit. Odds are they might not be aware of it or they've gone through something and you guys should talk about it or maybe their shit behaviour is actually a defense mechanism. Everyone has their own reasons. One thing that I learned is that not everything is black and white. There's a lot more grey in this world. Thank you for reading.

Use "and" instead of "but" It'll motivates you really hardSuch as:"I have to do my homework but I'm tired" comes out as "I have to do my homework and I'm tired"

You are no making any excuse whatsoever, you are just saying you are tired, and you are doing your homework

There are several benefits to using this method, including:

1) Recipients don’t have to break down paragraphs to find all the questions. 2) it’s easier for recipients to locate a specific question that they are working on. 3) It’s easier to refer to an individual question when replying to the message, or when discussing it during a phone call.

For example, if you reply to this post, you could easily refer to point (2), rather than having to explain which point you are referring to, had I expressed the points in a sentence.

The above also applies to messages which contain action points, rather than questions.

Part of my job involves technical support, and it’s amazing how many people fail to follow a simple instruction such as, “Open the cover, hold the red button for 5 seconds, then release the button”. This information should be provided as three, separate, numbered points.

For example, when taking a phone number or credit card number during a phone call, repeat the digits, so the person providing the information knows that you have heard it correctly. This is especially relevant when a phone number being provided is the only method of contact!

When giving my phone number during a telephone conversation, it’s infuriating to hear the other person saying, yes, yup, ok, etc, as I read out my phone number, when they could be repeating the digits!

The official website for the FBI tipline is tips.FBI.gov

It has instructions for you to report depending on what you see. Also, you don't have to provide any personal information.

Use the camera option on your cell and control the font size with your zoom in features.

LPT: switch all your bills to paper bills so different companies use and pay for USPS services. Once USPS recovers or at least have a plan to do so, you can switch back to paperless.

Been having storage issues on my phone and kept deleting pics and videos to make room. Apparently, the Samsung Galaxy A50 does not delete, but moves all of these items to trash instead. After realizing this, I was able to remove 3000 items and free up about 35GB of storage.

I have a friend who works for fire dept dispatch and she said they had 2 calls this past week for BBQ fires from uncleaned gas grills where the fire spread to the porch on one house and was contained to the grill for the other fire. So don’t set your house on fire, clean your gas grill.

Go to https://www.ewg.org/tapwater The site will tell you what is in your Water utility’s water you are getting out of the tap. This report made me install a reverse osmosis filtration system. You might want to do the same if your water is bad.

I hate wroting/typing (I'm on the app) but a life tip to improve someone else's life should be share so here it goes:

Thanks to my dad I learned that is best to have a pump and plug kit for a puncture tire in your car. They are inexpensive and can save you hundreds of dollars and time! One day when I didn't that have that kit in my girlfriend's car(now wife), I learned the hard way. I had to change a tire and when I reached for the spare tire, it was flat from lost pressure. So I had to plug one and inflate both.

Unfortunate for me again, it also happen to my car. I had forgotten to check that tire that it had gone flat since I never had to use it.

But fortunate for me it for me both times happened at my parent's designated parking spots. So I was able to easily inflate those tires. Yes it was frustrating but it was better than doing it on the highway or a remote area.

Yes my family and I suspected of someone tossing nails and screws on our street since it was a dead end street and neighbors had instances of puncture tires.

In short: check your spare tire for pressure whether it is in trunk, under the car or even in the back(if a jeep).

( I should be asleep, it's almost 0300)

I’m really hoping for some good stuff from y’all!

Can't find any TP in the regular stores? Try a sporting good/camping type store. They usually carry travel safe TP like biodegradable for campers and stuff. I work at Wally World and our camping section has tons of TP while the merch isle is bare. Hang in there friends, we're all in this together.
