Simple Solutions to Everyday Problems
 
While sorting the lost sock pile, a very simple solution presented itself to reduce if not eliminate the problem of lost or mismatched socks (provided you want to wear socks). When buying a pair, buy 3 pairs. You will end up losing one, then a few months later another but you will have 2 pair.

Losing weight - don't eat so much.

Reduce gossiping - ignore those that do, simply walk away.

Quit smoking - stop smoking. Just stop altogether.

Get your kids to listen - have them repeat what you told them and have them commit to the every minute it will be complete, don't quit until these 2 parts are achieved.

Change the government - get involved.

Have more money - spend less or earn more or both.

Ok, now post your bits of wisdom...

Good stuff, and all true.

I feel like I'm on facebook. All of your suggestions seem like they need a webpage full of ads and a title like "7 shocking ways to improve your life beyond your wildest imagination."

My sock solution is to just buy them all the same, about thirty pairs of white ones, then you never even match them- toss 'em in the drawer. The old ones make great applicators for tire cleaner and "Armor All."

Same thing with dress socks, just buy all the same in each color you wear. Old ones are rags.

Mike - you should write a self help book. Pamphlet? Note card?

Never miss a good opportunity to shut up.

If you have run into a seemingly insurmountable problem, back off and think about something else for a while.
Chances are you are overthinking the problem and the answer is to approach it another way.

If you wouldn't say it in front of your grandmother, don't say it.

Buy some safety pins and pair your socks up when you doff them

-At all costs....distance yourself from negative people who want to drag you down to thier level.

-Drink more water (this makes you healthier, and saves money at the same time).

-Make a point each day thinking, and saying what you are thankful for.

-Take time for you and what interests you.

-laugh as much as possible.

-Step back and think about your actions before taking the leap.

-Truly practice the "lords prayer".

I always say just don't get it in your mouth, you can wash the rest off.

don't let your dick run your life. advice I failed to follow for a few decades of my life

Modify every public restroom in this country to single toilet and sink with a locked door.

Multiple stall restrooms will have to be modified but this will solve the PC problem of TG access.

The LGBT community should foot the bill.
