The fact that someone can use "their" and "they're" three times in the same context and use it just once correctly is mind-boggling.

When I see something like that I assume they actually have no idea which one is correct and when, and are just choosing randomly.

Sorry, I meant the first video, not Mint Juleps in general. She only managed to double the number of ingredients in a Mint Julep, so good for her, I guess.

I was going to say something about how pouring alcohol on an open wound is going to hurt way worse than pulling a Band-Aid off, but I guess if they're taking it off it's not an open wound anymore :shrug:

Last time I was injured, I poured rum into the open wound. It didn't hurt, but I got really drunk and passed out shortly thereafter. Not sure if it was the lack of blood or the rum in my veins.

You're right, I wasn't paying attention. I was probably high from all those chemicals in my morning coffee. Speaking of which:



Life hack: dilute your coffee with several ounces of chilled liquor to cool it down and make you less likely to care when you inevitably burn yourself.

My favorite thing about the tinfoil spoon is that he doesn't realize that the little hole on the sauce pan is specifically for that. You just jam the spoon in there instead fo loving about with tin foil. Or just... I dunno, put that poo poo down and wipe up after like a normal human being.

Keep your pants on when you poo poo, no more messy bathroom experiences!

One simple tip to cleaning your ceiling fans is to use the leg of your poo poo filled pants - slide the leg over the fan blade and then pull it off. Now you have dust stuck to the poo poo in your pants instead of the fan blade (mostly).

An emotionally abused housewife in Sarasota has a great tip for getting the smell of dust covered poo poo out of your living room. Simply collect all of your vomit in used 2 liter soda bottles, and leave them on the porch in the sun. When you come home, the vomit fumes will form a crusty layer inside your airway, protecting you from the poo poo and dust smells inside!

17 shocking uses for old soda bottles filled with your vomit!
Don't let them tell you they are only for poo poo and dust smell protection

If only there was something you could add to a liquid to cool it down, like frozen water or something...

Also, another saliva-related tip, from an article debunked on Snopes:

quote:

If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it.


e: Is your drink either too hot or too cold? Spit in it to bring it closer to your body temperature!

It's produced by your own body and flows directly into your mouth with no contact with anything else. What's gross about that? Do you also dislike the taste of your palate?

Not to poo poo on your life-hack parade, but that hole is so you can hang the pot on a hook.

I think it's more stupid to try and jam a large spoon into the hole on a sauce pan handle. You should just get a spoon dish to rest it on, a cheap one is probably not expensive. Or just use a small plate or bowl! Life hacks
