Reply to LPT: Let yourself be photographed at special events, family gatherings and by friends in general, even if you don't like your picture taken for any reason. by [deleted]

As someone currently traveling home from a funeral I can attest to this. The wake was closed casket so the lasting memory we all had was the slideshow and multiple pinboards surrounding the room. So many photos… even if other family members who have passed.

Reply to LPT: If you are feeling too down or depressed to do even little things, and can only muster the strength for one daily task, brush your teeth. by quirkscrew

I think cleaning that you could "easily die" from not brushing your teeth daily is much over the top! Technically, you could easily die from a lot of things in this world..many of which you would have no participation in whether doing or not doing anything. You could easily die in a car accident or getting hit by a bus or even from being grossly overweight to the point of being what they call morbidly obese for a number of years. You could also easily die from your next bite of food if you choke on it and can't regain your open airway. Well it's a very good tip for even things like motivation and just getting up and doing something for the day I don't think we should sensationalize it to the point of trying to convince people or insinuate that if they don't they're going to have major health problems and could even die from not brushing their teeth daily. Far too much sensationalization, hype, over the top, erroneous, and flat out faults information out there in the world simply because some people believe it to be true.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in LPT: coffee filters make excellent grease catchers/absorbers. by vetiverbreath

She didn’t say she only uses them for grease or that she buys them in bulk. Her husband buys extra. That means any number more that they buy for coffee. Also you say this like it isn’t already commonly spouted knowledge (not saying it’s correct). But seriously who hasn’t heard this from their doctor or high school health teacher. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Reply to LPT: When you get a new lock, buy a new house, or something like that always save one of the keys for future copies. This can be the safety key you leave with someone, but the point is never to use it, so when you do wear down your key, you make a replacement with the pristine one. by pSilver68932

Sometimes the lock wears, too, to the point where the unused key won’t work. My daughter’s 2001 4Runner does this.
