My 8th grade science teacher said they had rat urine on top of them.

or melt it down into an onion (noggin) basher in your kiln.

Thanks. It actually works.

Works better than toilet paper.

A couple thoughts and apologies in advance if you do these already:

- since you buy your earrings from pawn shops to eBay, always check them thoroughly before wearing them to make sure they are in usable condition. for example the hoops and friction tips are tight. with post earrings they typically have indentations at the stem and you should hear or feel those 'click' when the back is secure and with hoops the latch should click securely into place when closed;

-avoid screw backs, those are just painful and don't last very long especially if you take your earrings out daily

- when wearing hook style earrings, you can shape the rounded part to have a point on them, or angle the rounded part so that it comes to a point. this pointy part will sit better in your lobe and help the earring not roll out--think of a well balanced seesaw.

- lever back earrings are very secure although they can pinch the lobe or ear if the skin is thick.

good luck and hope these help. I was always afraid of loosing an earring when putting on or taking off my mask. the silicone backs did help with the hook earrings. I feel your loss...

Also, have things around that make you happy. No one is going to judge you for having an old Teddy on your bed or for wearing superhero pyjamas

Yup

Lost an eye, but at least didn't scar.

Why would it help to blow on someone's eye? Get the marshmallow out of it instead!

Know where your gas and water shut off is. Have contents insurance. If you have a car, know who can give you a jump start (or have one of the battery packs for jump starting)

Are you excusing yourself to the lavatory?

Not easy to read though

Let's test this before I vote...

Holy.

Shit.

It works!

Dam how didn't i know it did that this hole time!

And make sure to get a toilet plunger, and not a sink plunger. A toilet plunger goes out like a bell, but then tapers inward to a smaller opening to fit down the hole in the toilet. A sink plunger is what people are typically used to, with a regular cup shape, and doesn't really get a seal in a toilet.

Stay just as friendly but stop talking about others, definitely listen to their non gossip as time permits, share a short nugget about your weekend or plans once in a while, and then stop yourself mid sentence with an exclamation that you forgot a time sensitive task, ttyl

My friend just told me, they just put on last years fireworks on YouTube at normal bedtime for their kids. Genius move

Oh and if you take out a credit card for the first time, do it with a trusted accountability partner (parent, financially responsible family member, trusted friend) who can keep you on the tracks for the first year. 27% interest takes people down faster than you can believe.

Some of them can also be toxic to cats (and who knows what else)

Or, get gym membership and have access to more than a pair of 10 pound dumbbells

Being a good tenant is a good practice but know where the balance is. You are paying for a product and there’s expectations on both sides. Pay on time, do everything in writing, and leave it better than you found it. Second tip from the budget thrifters like me, only get what you need. Moving sucks and spending money you don’t have sucks. Good luck!!! Living away from family can be challenging but learning independence is something some people never do.

Also a pad of paper and pen near bed so you don’t have to worry about forgetting whatever it is you just thought of…
