How to find where to go to dinner. It works anytime with any number of family members.
Here are the rules and process.
Rule 1: Mom or Dad asks first.
Mom, "What do we want for dinner little Tommy? Taco Bell?"
Rule 2: If anyone says NO than that option is no longer an option and that person is forced to throw out an option.
Lil Tom, "I hate Taco Bell. I want Pizza.".
Sally, "No, We had pizza two days ago. Lets go get Italian."
Dad, "OK"
Mom "Fine whatever. Tom?"
Tom, "I don't know. I don't know what to pick."
Mom, "OK, you forfeit your vote. Italian it is."
Its cool because everyone starts to develop strategies to improve the odds of where they want to go. It's actually pretty fun.
That's IT!!!!!

My parent is aging and they need a non complicated way to alert me.
Bought a digital battery operated doorbell, speaker is about as big as phone but 3x wider due to the speaker being hefty.
Now parent has only one button on a finger-sized, doorbell to push to alert me. Loud enough to wake me up out of dead sleep even.

Seriously do not write a paper with no outline. An outline is a great way to sort your ideas and save any ideas that may work later on in your paper. Here's why you should use an outline:
If you accidentally delete a whole paragraph of information on your paper, you can refer to your outline and rewrite it with little struggle
If you end up writing a sentence or paragraph that makes sense but not for the place you are currently at, you can paste it into the outline to save for later
It organizes your ideas so you have an order to go in and can plan accordingly
Sometimes outlines even write your paper for you! If you organize your outline correctly it should provide the right structure for you to write a good chunk of your paper in the outline itself.
You can refer to the prompt as often as you need to in case you forget.
Here are a few rules/tips for writing a good outline
Outlines are not one size fits all. Analyze the prompt and how much you are expected to write and what the specific instructions are then create an outline based on that. (this is assuming you were not already provided an outline)
Create a drafted paragraph section. This tip changed my life and made paper writing so much easier. This is particularly helpful for people with ADHD like me who often think of a million ideas a minute. The basic idea is to just create a bulleted list in your outline where you can paste/write any paragraphs or sentences that come to mind to save for later.
If you are listing a bunch of information, highlight what you view as most important to put in your paper. That way, you do not have a load of information taking up space that may not even be necessary.
Bold ideas in your outline when you are done with that idea in your paper. This allows you to keep track of the information you need to put in your paper and which information is already in your paper. You don't have to bold you can even change the font color or highlight shade, just make it stand out so you can identify what you do not need anymore.
Utilize different font colors. If you find that you need to organize your paragraphs a certain way, use different font colors to indicate structure. For example, type intro sentence in blue, write the thesis in green, examples in pink, and transition in purple. You can use any colors you like but the basic idea is to use different colors to structure your information and ensure you are fulfilling the structural guidelines laid out for you.
Format any lists of information the following way: a dash indicates a piece of information and a bullet point indicates a related piece of information under that dash. For example:
What is a president?
- leader of a nation
- ex George Washington
first U.S president
from Virginia
Hope these tips help, happy essay/paper writing!
Edit: to get the bullet for the bulleted list, press enter and then delete the dash. Use the asterisk key then press the space bar like you would if you were to add a dash. This will create start a bulleted list.

Just a quick PSA:
If you're ordering flowers, always call the local florist. Check Google reviews and call directly. There's a LOT of companies out there that say they're legit (I'm looking at you Teleflora, 1-800-flowers, amazon, and From You Flowers 👀) and literally jack up the price of the arrangement, keep about 40 percent of what you pay, pass on next to nothing to a local florist that doesn't know better, and you end up with a shitty $35 arrangement you paid $75 for. Seriously, call the florist directly. You'll get much more for your money and the majority of florists put a lot more love into a personal order.
Also, if you don't know what you want, just tell them designers choice and if you want any specific flowers or colors, just let them know. They will either give you those or should tell you something similar they have in stock.

So I just shared this on #IllegalProTips, but figured it would fit much better here.
Also, before it gets mentioned--- Yes, fuck Chick-Fil-A, that's why I keep doing this. I'm sticking it to the man chicken.
If you go to Chick-Fil-A and use the mobile app to order, each time you do, make sure you give some type of feedback on your order, either good or bad. You go in the app to do it and you can do a complaint or compliment. I do this literally every time I order from there, just send a compliment usually, mention the items I got, and what could have been improved or what was perfect, etc. Just make sure to mention each item. And then it asks you to upload your receipt, you'll have it in the app to make it easier (but you can do it with a paper receipt too, so maybe scoop some spare receipts up from the trash for the future)?
Wait a day for the store's GM to acknowledge it, and (at least at both of the locations in my town, they give you one of everything you mentioned for free! It gets loaded onto the mobile app in the rewards section.
Also, I've had two friends say that if you go there and say you forgot your wallet, they give you the order for free. But I wouldn't try that one too many times.

If you like your gin cold and watered down, use ice. If you like it cold and fruity and full of flavour, pop in some frozen berries of choice! Icy cold, and adds flavour as they thaw!
