Relationships
Is that girl you met really a girl
That girl you met at the bar, is she really a woman... or a man?! Here's the way to find out: Grab his/her hand as if you were caressing it an take a look at her index (pointer) an ring finger. If her index (pointer) finger is longer than her ring finger, then she's a woman, but if you happen to notice her ring finger is longer... Get the hell out!

Technology
USB battery to charge electronics while travelling
Many a time you would like to charge your batteries but won't find a socket. This happens when you don't carry the charger all the time in a plane/train/bus while traveling. Plus chargers are heavier to carry. You can eliminate the need to carry the chargers if you have USB batteries (available at http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/travelpower/8e82/ ). USB batteries can be charged using a laptop or any computer's USB port. It also removes an additional maze of charger's cables.

Household > Cleaning
Cleaning cast iron pans
Wash you pans to remove as much grime as possible and dry thoroughly. Then brew a pitcher of black tea (like Lipton). Soak your pan for up to three hours and check ever hour. The tea will break down the rust naturally without caustic chemicals. Wash again -dry thoroughly and season. Spread some lard or bacon grease on the pan and bake in oven on 200 for two hours. Repeat seasoning as needed to give them gloss and luster.

A tip for good credit
Keep your credit card balances under 30% of your credit limit. Anything over 30% is detrimental to your FICO score.

Wellness > Exercise
Sneak in exercise in the bathroom
Time can be the biggest hurdle to getting exercise. Try this: Whenever you go to the bathroom, when you are finished, put your hands on the edge of the counter and do 10 counter pushups. Not enough room, try wall pushups against the back of the door. You won't even notice the loss of time and you'll get in a little exercise!

Cooking > Meal prep
Creamy macaroni and cheese
When making macaroni and cheese from a box, add an extra tablespoon or so of butter and use half as much milk. This makes for a creamier more delicous dish!

Buying/Selling
Save money grocery shopping
Eat before you make your list and before you go shopping. You'll be less likely to grab impulse items that could increase your budget and even your empty calorie intake!

Household > Cleaning
Vinegar cleaner for tile floors
The best ceramic tile floor cleaner is one cup of vinegar mixed with 1/2 gallon of water and mop as usual. No residue!
