Wise Bread (84) permalink
By Paul MichaelI was trawling the Internet recently searching for a way to remove a grease spot from a favorite shirt of mine. How it got there, well, I blame a faulty fork and not my clumsy mouth. Anyway, time and again sites would reference a can of Coca-Cola as a way to remove the grease spot. I tried it, cynical but hopeful, and it worked. Not 100%, but it was way better than before. ...Shared by adam (1061) Adam Hansen (18) Bill (5) brokekid (134) Christopher (54) Dana Prince (7) Morton Fox (76) Paul (6) philoscribe (11) Roberto Arancibia (1) Zee M (42)- Bill said: Given the uses of Coke to clean grease and rust, does it not disturb you to be drinking this stuff!?

“And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” - Abraham Lincoln I love reading lists of things to do before you die, but after reading several of these lists, I’ve realized that each list is a very personal thing.

- edythe said: 1. Develop positive thinking. I put this first because I think it’s the keystone habit that will help you form the other important habits. Sure, positive thinking by itself won’t lead to success, but it certainly goes a long way to motivate you to do the other things required.I learned this when I quit smoking — when I allowed myself to think negative thoughts, I would end up failing. But when I learned how to squash negative thoughts and think positive ones instead, I succeeded. This discovery lead to me practicing this over and over, until I was able to form just about any habit I needed. It’s been invaluable to me, and I think it could be to most people.Focus on this habit first, and you’ll have a much easier time with any of the others. Start by becoming more aware of your negative self-talk — do a little tally sheet throughout the day, marking a tally each time you notice a negative thought. Soon you’ll recognize them, and you can squash them.

I was a free-range child. In fact, I think most kids growing up in the 70s, and to a lesser degree the 80s, were. Which is to say that except for school and occasional scheduled activities like Karate lessons (I can still break a board!) and swimming (I’m no Phelps) my time was more or less my own, and how I spent it — within my own limited means — was up to me.
