Re: OOT Life Tricks

this is probably super standard but when you retire a sponge from the kitchen use it in the bathroom for the rest of its life. No need to use brand new sponges to clean the bathroom. Just make sure you dont retire bathroom sponges to the kitchen.

This is also how I tested this trick because I almost always gag while brushing the insides of my teeth.

It did not work.

When you clench your left hand you're overriding a nerve called the Glossopharyngeal nerve, but not all people will override this nerve.

Re: OOT Life Tricks

Here's a couple really good ones imo:

-if you spend any amount of time at all in an establishment, get to know the server's and bartender's names. It usually takes me at least twice asking to remember a new one, but people really appreciate it and it also reaps countless rewards in the future.

-if you're at a bar or nightclub for only a night, get the bartenders name and anyone who serves you. Later when the bar or floor are packed, you can get the servers attention from across the room if need be or just go up to the crowded bar and when the bartender gets within earshot say something like 'Wow Mike...pretty slammed eh?". He'll be back shortly.

-free beer samples are never a problem. Take advantage of it. Try that Pumpkin Porter crap before you drink a pint of it.

Less carbs in diet, more greens.
Extra D-vitamin on days when not atleast 15mins in the sun.

Re: OOT Life Tricks

Paypal has an unadvertised service that allows you to print shipping labels (USPS or UPS), just like you can when you sell on ebay. Here's the link:

https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_ship-now

You can print priority shipping labels on the USPS website, but this allows you to print the cheaper kinds for sending books/packages as well.

Just like on ebay? Wow, you'd think that they were owned by the same company or something!

Re: OOT Life Tricks

A lot of water parks have locker rentals where you pay $X + Y for a key, and then return it for $X when you are done. If you go early in the day and leave early, there is usually a long line of people getting lockers. Usually you can sell them your key for more than $X, but less than what you paid for it. Likewise, if you go later in the day and people are returning lockers, you can buy your key from them for cheaper, and then just return it for the deposit back. If the line is long enough, people might be willing to pay full price for it, or sell it back for only the deposit.

I am aware, but the service is normally only visible when you are being directed there from the ebay site, because if you access it directly via the link I gave they aren't making much money on it. Try just logging into your account. You won't see a way to do shipping anywhere.
