I get up fairly early for work and I'm not really a morning person. I would always kick myself for the 'ole brown- belt-black-shirt faux pas. I started laying out my wardrobe the night before, it ended that and gave me extra precious time in the morning.

This happens so often where people get a fancy car or a nice house because they think they're making a ton of money. Then. 6 months to a year later they are out of a job. DONT MAKE THIS MISTAKE!

This work because many people find it difficult to interact with children based on the awkwardness they feel of not knowing what role to play for them. Yes you are an adult but not really right because you sometimes feel like a kid yourself. haha

So by imagining the child is your friend, you will naturally have a playful attitude towards the interaction. This will set the tone for the mood and the vibe of the relationship. When you imagine this child to be your friend, you will naturally want to spend time with him or her but obviously you are not going to have a few beers with a child.

So you you will want to ask them, what they want to do to have fun. When the child sees that you genuinely want to play with them(which I am arguing the child will sense because you have assumed the role of their friend), they will open up to you and once that can opens, you're gonna wish you had never opened it. haha. The rest will take care of itself.

I know this sounds ridiculous but just try it sometime when you are in a position where you have time to spend with kids. Simply imagining it will bring a smile to your face and take away your seriousness which they will sense and respond to in a positive way.

It only works on PC though, as far as I can tell.

Edit: Apparantly, that trick works on mobile too; you need to access the internet version though. Just press and hold the screen and it will bring you the loop option. Credits to u/SapientSloth.

If you find your razor cartridges clogging up and banging it against the sink isn't doing the trick, a high pressure water flosser, normally used as a supplement or replacement to flossing, can clear it out more thoroughly.

This seems like common sense, but I've seen too many people get scammed by callers asking for a payment on insurance, credit cards, etc... If you are being called to be reminded of a payment, acknowledge that and call them back with a number you know is legitimate to make the payment.

I just wanted to remind you all to always end relationships on a good note after a significant conflict. Even though it might be tempting to be an asshole if a person deserves it, it feels much better in the future to choose not to. If you handle the situation maturely, you won’t be afraid of running into them afterwards, additionally, the world is small and people talk so that’s something to consider. Ending on a good note is always in your best interest.
