PLANNING PARTIES
Only half of those you invite to a large social gathering, such as a wedding or retirement party, will come. But expect a 90 percent turnout if you're inviting a small, select group of friends or family. If it's a child's party, plan on at least one uninvited brother or sister tagging along.

TESTING SUNGLASSES
For high-altitude skiing, you need sunglasses that are dark. With your sunglasses on, look in a bathroom mirror. If you can see your eyes, the glasses aren't dark enough.

DRIVING SAFELY
If you think your front tire is low, find out by taking your hands off the steering wheel. A low tire will cause the car to drift in the direction of the low tire.
