LPT for when you’re caring for a sick person If you’re taking care of a sick person, a cheap whiteboard from the Dollar Tree hung on the doorknob will let you leave notes about the person such as temperature, any meds given, any changes in the way person has been doing etc. That way anyone who is taking care of the person can snap a quick photo with their phone if they need to save the inf…

LPT: Combine antiperspirant with deodorant to avoid stains. I used to get those horrible white deodorant stains on my shirts that don’t wash out, even when using the stuff that claims to eliminate that. Eventually I got the idea to put on antiperspirant first, followed immediately by regular aluminum-free deodorant. I haven’t had any stains at all since switching to that system. It doesn’t have to be the…

LPT: Don’t tell kids to “Say Cheese” to get good pics I used to work at a commercial photography studio where I learned a few tips to photographing children and babies. When you tell kids to “say cheese” they almost always make this face 😬 and generally give an unnatural smile. Instead say something silly or make a joke. They will laugh naturally and you’ll get a great pic with a beautiful smile th…

LPT: If you want to quit drinking but part of the reason you’re finding it difficult is because you’re worried friends and family will judge you- simply say you’re on a diet now. Drinking can have an insidious way of creeping up on you, and if people know you drink it can be hard.

If this is something you can relate to, an…

LPT: Get a magnetic key box for under your car INB4 your keys will get stolen. I live in PA and have had the same one for 10+ years. A dumb key from a dealer cost around 10 bucks. Calling your dad at 8pm at night, when you a 25 year old guy locks his keys in his apartment…priceless. Edit: This has nothing to do with starting your car. Its just that you locked your door with your keys insid…

LPT canned soup or chili If, like me, you find that a can of soup or chili doesn’t have macros that are that great (high in saturated fat, low in fiber, etc), or more importantly, just doesn’t feel completely satisfying, mix in a can or two of your favorite canned veg; I like peas for chili, which adds sweetness, or pretty much anything. It nearly doubles the size of th…

LPT: if a loved one is taken in an ambulance, do not follow us to the hospital. Go there on your own time and own route. As a medic, whenever I was loading a patient in the ambulance, a family member would inevitably run up to me, keys in hand saying “I’ll follow you to the ER”. No. People in an emotional state following another vehicle will develop tunnel vision and forget all traffic laws. You will blow stop signs. You will follow me right through an intersectio…

LPT Salt Takes Away Pure Monk Fruit Extract Aftertaste Using it for tea, coffee, hot chocolate, cookies, etc, is fantastic but leaves an aftertaste, UNLESS, you add a little salt.
