SCRIPTING THINGS
If you've had to do the same thing three times you should have scripted a way to do it because you will surely have to do it a fourth time.

USING WHO OF WHOM
if you can answer the question being asked with him, then use whom, and it's easy to remember because they both end with m. For example, if you're trying to ask, "Who (or whom) do you love?" The answer would be "I love him." Him ends with an m, so you know to use whom. But if you are trying to ask, "Who (or whom) stepped on Squiggly?" the answer would be "He stepped on Squiggly." There's no m, so you know to use who. So that's the quick and dirty trick: if you can't remember that you use whom when you are referring to the object of the sentence réplique montres, just remember that him equals whom.

WE ARE JUDGED BY OUR LANGUAGE
If we express our self in negative terms, we are judged negatively. So, to make the best, and lasting impression, try to use positive, active, impact words. I believe this can positively affect our personality as well. It's a win-win!

PRUNE RIGHT AFTER THE TREE/SHRUB FLOWERS
If your not sure when to prune a flowering bush or tree, prune it right after it flowers. Some flower on old wood and some on new wood and unless you know which is which, use this rule.

WATER PRESSURE AT DEPTH
A very rough estimate is water pressure increases by 1/2 lb per foot of depth. It is good enough to get you in the right ballpark.

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT FOR MEN
After age 35, maintaining your waist size is a more useful fitness index than merely maintaining your weight. Your body loses muscle and gains fat as you age, so if you merely maintain your weight, you'll get progressively thicker.
