Dental hygienist told me to think of your teeth in quadrants. Do one front tooth to the back. Then the other front tooth to the back and same on the bottom teeth. Start at the gum and work your way down. Then do backside the same way. 30 seconds per quadrant. That way if anything is stuck in your gums it works it’s way down and out.

No. Each serves a different purpose. Use the correct one. #grammar

I feel that But is a “cancelling word” and used best when cancelling a negative whereas And is an enhancing word
For instance, your room is still messy BUT thank you for starting the cleaning process. (Cancels out the negative)
Thank you for cleaning your room AND I know you’ll keep it up. (Enhances the positive, where a But would cancel out the person’s work.)
Great LPT and your tip will help others!

That's the fun part! You just remove the minimum legal wage for servers at the state level.

Reply to LPT : When pitching baseballs for little kids to learn batting throw them fast enough so they travel in a straight line. by KingBooRadley
Firmly agree. Just stand closer to put a little zip on the ball.
If needed, get something to stand behind, but honestly the kiddo won't hit it that hard.

Cherish this. I’d do almost anything for another day with my old man.

I think the “yes and” method works well for validating someone’s opinion, while also making sure you get to say your own (often, conflicting) opinion. I personally wouldn’t use this as a method for apologizing or trying to say sorry in any way

Reply to comment by Effendoor in LPT: If you call a company to speak to customer service but the automated menu won't let you talk to a real person, say "Upgrade my account" instead of "Refund" or "Cancel," when the automated menu asks you to state why you're calling. You will immediately be transferred to a real person by BigSpoonFullOfSnark
A lot of times you might have to leave a voicemail for the manager. They will probably call you back, but it might be a little while.

Haha I know at least two places I call regularly that have literally always said this for the past 3 years.

Back into the original queue, but at the end of the line. Worst LPT ever.
