LPT – Especially if you have kids, have a DVD player on hand for internet outages We recently had flu/colds ravage everyone in our house, including young kids, and as we can’t go/do much we turned to the TV and the various streaming apps as a saviour. But of course, this particular day our internet provider had an outage. Having an “offline” solution of a DVD player & a few family movies is a really useful backup for this typ…

I ran a fried fish special this past Friday out of my walk up window. I knew it would taste good, but I was especially happy with how well it plated up. Buttermilk Fried Tennessee Catfish, soaked in buttermilk and dredged in local cornmeal, ap flour, and old bay. Served with smoky braised turnip greens, navy beans, mashed potatoes, and hushpuppies. submitted by /u/pervyninja

LPT: if you are petting sitting for someone, occasionally send them a picture of their pet. Especially if it’s a pic of their pet having fun or snuggling and getting some love. People usually low key worry about and miss their pets. It’s a small reassurance and always appreciated. submitted by /u/BearGrowlARRR

How should I do my eye makeup? Especially eyeliner? submitted by /u/viceversa220

Especially for those tired of reboots etc. what’s a series you think could really use one? I’m generally tired of all the reboots and such but, occasionally, I see something where there was such wasted potential that I wish they would reboot it (or reuse the premise, if it isn’t too specific to be called a rip-off). An example is Once Upon A Time. While I watched most of it (lost interest part way through the final season) it feels li…

LPT- Learn Phone Etiquette, Especially If You’re A Young Person I’ve worked in various customer service positions for 30 years answering and directing phone calls. I am AMAZED at the amount of people (and it’s getting worse year to year especially from young people) that don’t know how to use the phone. I mean, they know how to dial but they don’t know how to talk or what to say. A phone call that should las…

LPT Request: How do you motivate yourself to just start writing a piece? Especially when there is no deadline Often I only need a day or two to finish a piece. I already have the ideas clear in my mind. But the will to start writing it… it can take a whole week just to make myself write that first paragraph and write it fluently. I’ve done some stuff that people recommend like start in the morning, write outline first, or write anything that crosses m…

LPT: Yin & Yang is more relevant than you might think (especially for mental health). For context I’ll give my story. I grew up with Borderline personality disorder, major depression, adhd, and social anxiety disorder. Life has been full of drastic ups and downs. After being depressed and making my fair share at attempts and having 7 admissions to a few local psychwards and lots and lots of talking and learning; I’ve came to the…

Most underrated album ever is The Stone Roses imo. Especially in America The Stone Roses is a band from Manchester and their self titled debut album from 1989 is huge in the UK (especially in Manchester where they are known for creating what’s called “Madchester”) But outside of the UK they’re not very well known. Especially in the US. I never heard any American talk about them. I’m neither British or American btw. I…

LPT Request: What are non-substance ways to feel relief/unwind that helps, especially for an anxious person? I take hours upon hours to unwind. I eat right, exercise at lunch and after work, which helps. I’m just looking for really great strategies to get in a great mind space and feel physically relaxed. I’m naturally an incredibly anxious person always feeling like every day is doom day and it is draining. I’ve tried meditation, mindfulness (which I …

LPT: Take and keep regular photos of your friends and family, especially the bad ones. You never know when you’ll lose friends and family. Don’t be afraid to be the one who takes the improv. photos. You’ll value them when people are gone, more than you know. submitted by /u/hantswanderer

LPT: Occasionally dressing up at work can help you stand out in a good way, especially when you’re interviewing for other jobs. Occasionally dressing up at work can help you stand out in a good way, especially when you’re interviewing for other jobs. When you do have job interviews, your change in attire won’t raise eyebrows in the office. It can also remind your superiors of your potential value to other employers, which might prompt them to reevaluate your current rol…
