DEALING WITH A CROWD IN AN EMERGENCY
If you are on the scene of an emergency and need help, point to one specific person and say "You, call 911" (or whatever the number is for emergencies where you are) This gets the invidual involved in a personal way where saying "someone call 911" will not.

BEING WATCHED?
If you feel you are being watched, position yourself in a way where you can see the "starer" in the corner of your eye and then look at your wrist watch. If they are watching you, then they will most likely look at their wrist watch as well.

TIP TOP TOMATOES!
When planting tomato seedlings, wait until you have at least two sets of leaves, preferably three or more sets. Remove the bottom set(s) of leaves so that you have only one pair of leaves remaining. Crush some egg shells (1-2 eggs worth) and put them in a hole that is deep enough to plant your seedling to within 1/4 inch of the leaves. The ENTIRE underground part will grow roots and develop a great root structure as a result. The egg shells will promote large fruits.

PARKING LOT PAY
When interviewing for a job, take a good look at the cars in the parking lot. If they are all junkers, then they don't pay much. If they are all ritzy, high dollar cars, then they don't pay enough and everyone is in debt. If they are full of Hondas, Toyotas and other "economical cars" then they pay well enough for people to take vacations and have a family life too.

3326 Talking to girls thumb thumb thumb thumb thumb thumb thumb
EASY INTERACTION
Guys- if you want the girl to be interested, walk up to her and give her a TRUE compliment like "Those are very attractive ear rings" or "That blue sweater really compliments your eyes" and then just walk away. If she is interested, then she will find a way to run into you again later. This lets her know you are interested and gives you both an easy, non-awkward way to seperate if she is not interested. She WILL remember your compliment, though, as long as it was SINCERE. Do not/NOT fake it! (they can tell!)
