The latest tips I've posted to TipDrop.
| I love lots of movies, but must see before you die? I would vote for Signs (2002) with Mel Gibson & Joaquin Phoenix. It's much more than SciFi; delves into our belief system...but the SciFi part is FANTASTIC. M. Night Shyamaian wrote & directed it. Tip Credibility: 9 |
| You credit score will actually go DOWN (at least in the short term) if you close accounts. Your score is hurt if your credit used is close to your limit; keep your balances to less than 70% of your limit. Pay off revolving credit cards first. Tip Credibility: 7 |
| Ask a kid if the toilet is still running after an "overflow" & he says no & find a flood 12 hrs later! After getting all the excess water extracted, put cat litter along all baseboards to soak up any remaining moisture. Cat litter will draw it out. Tip Credibility: 9 |
| I sure thought so when my son was born (who is autistic); but once we passed the rough patch & understood his condition, I wouldn't trade being his mom for ANYTHING. Patience, creativity, LOTS of love & plenty of humor is needed to be a parent! Tip Credibility: 5 |
| A teacher teaches when s/he can relate the topic 2 real-life situations. I've always learned more when I understand the applicability to life. Why do I need Geometry? Playing pool is one application: angle of inflection=angle of deflection! Tip Credibility: 8 |
| My son recently asked how I was able 2 keep them away from drugs, alcohol & cigarettes. I simply replied drug dealers take cash! Many parents give allowances but this could be dangerous. Bored kids will turn 2 something 2 amuse them--no cash, no drugs! Tip Credibility: 10 |
| As this time the $250k Section 179 deduction is expected to go away after Dec 31st. If you need business assets (or that Hummer loophole) either new or used, now is a good time. Next year this deduction is expected to reduce to $135k max. Tip Credibility: 8 |
| ALWAYS ask for a discount. You would be surprised at how often you will get it. Also, if it's a big purchase, ask for same as cash option (60, 90 days or 12 months!). Also, use Discover Card 4 everything, it pays you back but pay it off each month! Tip Credibility: 7 |
| If you are building a house, you can sprinkle borax powder around the entire perimeter during framing (also do in kitchen area). The cockroaches won't even get IN the house--stopped cold! Tip Credibility: 7 |
| With Halloween around the corner, let me share: if some pumpkin head spills candle wax on your carpet, do not fear. Put a paper towel over it and then a steam iron. The wax comes right up into the paper towel! Tip Credibility: 9 |
