LPT: “An Evening With” Means No Opener For concert goers, when you look at the concert listing or at your ticket, if the show is titled “An Evening with ”, that means that the show will have no opening acts, and the “headlining artist” will be hitting the stage right about showtime. I post this because I went to An Evening with Natalie Merchant last night, doors 5:30, show 7:…

LPT: Squash your tins before you throw them To help protect cats (and other animals), squash every tin before throwing it in the bin. This prevents them from getting their heads stuck when they try to eat from discarded tins. submitted by /u/Swimmaka

LPT: Poison ivy/oak remedy You know that blue dishwashing liquid they use to clean birds after an oil spill? Wash yourself, and dog, with it after exposure to poison oak/ivy. Removes the oil that contains the irritant. I am very allergic and used to have to take steroids for it before I thought of this. submitted by /u/pubimo

LPT – Have a reputation of smelling good. I still remember the names and faces of the people I was with years ago who smelled fantastic. It’s easy to stand out amongst hundreds of other people in others’ minds if you smell good. Think of how impactful it is to be on the mind of someone else. Become a main character. Smell good. submitted by /u/nightmayz

LPT: Doing a trial without subscription Everything wants you to subscribe for a trial run, with a credit card. Then, if you don’t like whatever it is, you get stuck in a subscription you don’t want, and more often than not, you have to go through hell to cancel it. So this what I do. I get a prepaid aftermarket credit card. With the required amount for the trial. Then if I don’t like …

LPT plan a secondary exit that’s not the way you came in In deadly emergencies where too many people are trying to exit a confined space at the same time (Station Nightclub fire for example), panic causes people to attempt to flee from the same way they entered. Many fewer people would have died at the Station Nightclub fire had they thought to use the stage door exit, which went nearly unused for a f…

LPT When signing up for a new streaming service immediately cancel it. Whenever I sign up for a streaming service I’m just getting for one show or a sporting event, I go ahead and cancel it. It will still be good for the month you paid for. More than likely you will forget to cancel it and pay for another month. And if you want to keep it for the next month you’ll always have the option of signing up again. sub…

LPT: Go for a drive If you are a parent and your kid is upset, depressed, sad, angry, lonely, ecetera, take them for a drive. (Provided you have the time and money for gas). Let them pick the directions, randomly. Let them pick a random spot on Google maps. Let them direct the trip. See where you end up. Sometimes you may end up somewhere cool, a little weird or no…

LPT no more idle MS Teams Status Start a MS Teams Meeting with a cryptic title Join it by yourself Present a blank browser window Change your status to Available Goto sleep Edit: This was not meant to be serious, though it would work. For the user who mentioned meetings by yourself, well may start as that, but maybe you’ll find others like yourself. And spatter meetings throu…

LPT: Putting your sunglasses as your Phone holder. Using my sunglasses as a makeshift phone holder. It’s genius! Whenever I need to prop up my phone for a video call or binge-watch Netflix, I simply fold my sunglasses and voilà – instant stand. It’s perfect for those impromptu movie nights or following a recipe in the kitchen. Plus, it saves me from buying one of those bulky phone stands. Give i…

LPT: How to spend less on groceries When shopping for produce, always check to see if your store has a “reduced cost produce” section. It most likely won’t be labeled/advertised, but most stores by me do have them. Some things will DEFINITELY be gross or not edible, but you can find gems. I always get peppers. Peppers usually stay good for a while, and the ones that I find usuall…

LPT: If you receive Adderall prescriptions, have them printed on paper Most physicians will print three separate 30-day supply prescriptions, post-dating them with “don’t fill by” dates. Since Adderall is a controlled substance, electronic prescriptions can’t be transferred from one pharmacy to another. With a printed prescription in your hand, simply ask if they have the stock to fill your prescription. If they do…

LPT: Sauna like a Boss LPT: If you’re into sauna, bring a a sweat towel, a robe (or blanket) and a dry towel and use as described below for maximum comfort. Save your dry towel for the very end else you’ll be left to dry off with a soggy towel before you go home. Also, air dry or use your sweat towel in between sauna turns so your robe stays nice and dry while you w…

LPT: Be open to friendships with people younger and older than you in adulthood. I’m friends with someone 30 years older than me. He could be my dad. We have a genuine friendship though, it’s not a mentor/mentee type relationship. We just really get along and click. I’ve learned a lot from him and he’s also learned a lot from me. We’re prisoners of time. It’s easy to get trapped in our generation’s thinking. A lot to be lea…
