What are some life hacks that you practice?

Simple Life Hacks

  • Alphabetize your spice rack.
  • Nobody cares if your socks match
  • Go to your local library often. (Libby is awesome)
  • Nutritional Yeast
  • Always return your shopping carts.

These I learned on the Red Green show. Van Air Conditioning:Instead of fixing a vehicle’s broken AC, drops a massive, heavy household window AC unit straight into the side of the you Vehicle wiring it up with a step-up transformer to convert the vehicle’s 12-volt battery power into standard 120-volt current.

Or

Fermented Alternative Fuel:bypass the gas pump by mixing water, massive amounts of sugar, and brewer’s yeast right inside the vehicle’s gas tank. After letting it ferment, he adds corn from a portable garden and tops it off with a battery-powered carburetor. It is incredibly hard to start and makes the car smell exactly like a giant running tortilla

Duct Tape as A Cure All

Please disregard all of this, I spent yesterday afternoon in the hospital to I nearly chopped my finger off, making a homemade sauerkraut. I did everything right and still got it wrong.

Treating A Cold

I rarely get colds, probably once every four or five years. I have one right now, which kept me from traveling down to Portland this weekend. I have taken nothing because a cold usually lasts a week, but if you treat it will last only seven days.

Here One That Worked for Me Many Years Ago

I was running the Seattle marathon and I went to the starting line with a raging cold that had been going on for a week and a half. It was 35° and snowing.. At the 7 mile mark the course went underground towards the I 90 bridge over Lake Washington. The temperature in the tunnel was 55°. I started sweating profusely for the next 20 minutes..

I didn’t have a cold for the next 10 years.

I would love to hear any home remedies you have for colds. I out sourced that to my wife.  She doesn’t like my approach.

    Haha, this is a wonderful collection of Red Green–style wisdom—part life hack, part comedy, and part “please don’t actually try this”! 😄

    The window AC strapped to a vehicle and the fermented-fuel idea are wonderfully absurd. And the duct tape philosophy certainly deserves its place in the Red Green Hall of Fame.

    So sorry you hurt yourself so badly, and happy to see you can still type okay! I get colds often, but being good about Vitamin C seems to help.

    Sometimes I wonder if I should try sauerkraut again, after years of believing I don’t like it. I do love kimchi and have made that before.

I would love to hear you opinion as well

Hello,

I’m Mark

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
