Everyone is different. The program I was on said that people are generally dehydrated in the morning, and mistake that for hunger. So If you make sure you hydrate (not just with coffee, but water) in the morning, you might find you aren’t really hungry for breakfast. It worked for me - I lost weight by only eating…

The wellness program I’ve been following actually tells you to weigh every day once you are maintaining. The idea is that if you gain a few pounds over a few days, you can more closely follow the program for the next few days and the pounds should come off more quickly. If you wait for a week then it’s more difficult…

I have a bench model, but it is sitting on the floor of the garage (I use 2 sawhorses and a piece of plywood when I need to use it.). I really need to get a rolling bench.

I always wondered how to do this!

Small talk get’s a bad reputation, because it is most often used when you aren’t trying to make connections or friends. You are just stuck with people you don’t want to be around. For a long time. So the small talk never moves on to anything else.

I love that you can find cheap led bulbs out there. But I wish that there were more choices with the candelabra base. So many ceiling fans these days use that socket size, and the bulbs are at least $13 each.

We have a black schnauzer, so make sure to pay attention to how she is acting when it’s hot outside. When I give her water, I also dump some on her back to wet her coat, and rub some water on her ears to help cool her down (but don’t get any in her ears!).

Only works if you find people interesting. But I agree - it’s better if you listen.

Not a bad article, but sometimes all you have to discuss is project updates. Not everyone has grand plans for their career.

note to current lemonade stand owners - go to the local restaurant supply store and get cups, lids, and straws. Make sure you display them. People are much more likely to buy if they know they won’t get the drink spilled all over their car.

If the management of a company looks down on you for wearing a suit to an interview, do you really want to work at a place with such stupid management?

This is merely establishing something you have in common with the people around you.

So how do you reconnect with these people without it being incredibly awkward? If you really had anything in common with, or even liked, these people then you would already be in contact with them.

I have heard that you can hand your own mini bottles to the flight attendant to open and our for you, although I’m not sure that is true.

If you spend more than 15 minutes you might discover it’s boring. ;)
