    Life Hacks

    Such a PC term, better than Jerry rigging or the worse one.

    List yours.

    Recently I found my alarm clock is too bright even on the dimmest setting. I used to cover it completely with a wash cloth but I want to be able to glance at it to see what time it is in the middle of the night during the various times I wake up. My solution? Put a pair of my black tights over the clock. Dims the brightness and still able to tell time.

    I put rubbing alcohol on q-tips... breaks up the wax easier and keeps it from being pushed in to your dome.

    You can also use the qtip and alcohol concoction to clean your belly button.

    Have you seen that infomercial for this vacuum that cleans the wax outta your ear? Bizarre! That idiot dude yells OW! So loud because he supposedly hits his eardrum when cleaning his ear. Who shoves them in that far?

    Here are mine



    • Talk from your diaphragm to make your voice deeper and louder without making it tired.
    • When you wake up in the morning, the first thing you should do is stick your face in the sun (if it's out). It will wake you up instantly.
    • Use personalized news on news.google.com, on top of headlines you'll only get the background-items you're interested in. Saves time because you don't have to watch it on tv anymore.
    • Drink water throughout the day. It's good for you and it will make you less hungry and prone to snacking.

    Someone punched me on my ear once during boxing. Ripped my eardrum. I went down and was extremely disoriented and dizzy and it sounded like I was underwater. Luckily, it was a clean rip and it healed up perfectly. I didn't lose any hearing. I stopped after that and never bothered to pick it up again. I miss it sometimes.
    My name was supposed to be French fries with mayo but I was drunk when I signed up.

    You can also just call me "Dick".
