LPT – Don’t go into a police station alone if you have the option. I recently went to the police station to get a motorhome I’d just purchased inspected so I could put it in my name.

LPT – Tie your shoes properly now that you aren’t a kid. Most people take their laces and do the left over right and under then pull, make the loop and go around from the back and through the hole you create (send the bunny around the tree and into the hole) and pull tight. When you are little this is hard for your small grubby little hands as you don’t have the dexterity. Instead make your loop and a…

LPT: Before you sign up for ANY subscription service, find out how you can cancel it. Companies and organizations highly value recurring payment subscribers, and they will purposefully make it difficult to cancel these plans.
