When cooking rice, add 50% more water than the package calls for, boil for the same amount of time, then use a collander to drain the rice. Your rice will be perfect and there is no chance of it sticking to your pot.

If you accidentally write on a dry erase board with a permanent sharpie, take a dry erase marker and color over your mistake.


Then it will erase right off.

A lot of the ladies in my family did this. Just boil the rice and strain it. It was always perfect.

It appears 95% of adults don't realize that the entire amount of income is NOT taxed at their "bracket."

I think this is illegal in several Parishes.

Why the frick would you need to do this?

Boil water. Add salt. Stir in rice. Bring back to boil. Stir once more. Reduce heat and cover. Perfect frickin rice every time.

If you can’t master that, turn in your baw card, grow out your NI haircut, donate your truck nuts, and move about 350 miles away.

if you spill red wine on a carpet or rug, pour the same amount of white wine over it and it will cancel out, no stain

When backing a trailer, turn the wheel the opposite direction you want it to go. Super easy to remember.


Another tip: hold the wheel at 6 o’clock and move it in the direction you want the trailer to go.

Most foreign cars are on the right, especially if they are made in a country where the steering wheels are on the right.

Dad taught me this trick as a kid. My trailer backing skill are on point.

Pine sap makes a hell of a fire starter.

Im glad you said this. I have said BMWs are shite for awhile. Ford uses BMW parts in their vehicles.

They are luxury by brand name only.. Well, they are one step down from luxury.

When renting a car and stopping for gas, look at the image of the gas pump and the arrow will tell you what side of the car the tank is on

Ha, this is hilarious. In one of my not-so-bright moments, I had just purchased a brand new Toyota Tacoma and noted the gas tank indicator was backlit but I didn't know what it meant. I ended up calling the dealer and asking them if it meant there was a problem with the truck. They didn't know what I was talking about at first (I'm sure they thought no one could be that stupid), and then it dawned on them what it was and told me it indicated what side to put the gas in.

Yawning will usually get your ears to POP, if needed. If you hold your mouth open for a while it will usually make you yawn.

a pine cone is like lighter fluid


But if you’re worried about starting a fire and don’t mind being a little bit of a cheater (or prepared, depending on your definition) bring some dryer lint with you. Super fast burn time, so you need plenty of kindling as compared to a pine cone or sap, but that stuff is wildly inflammable.
