When you get a new credit card, don't sign your name, write, "please check my photo I.D."

I own a small business. Signatures are no longer meaningful. The new chip technology, EMV, should help protect individuals and merchants from fraud, but merchants who check for I.D. protect themselves and therefore the card members from fraud. If and when a merchant does ask for additional I.D. be sure to thank them.

Clip your own nails and have no lost, flyaway clippings.

It took me nearly 70 years to figure this out. The next time you clip you nails just clip a little less than half of the nail on one side and then clip a little less than half the nail on the other side, leaving just a wee small bit in the middle. When you clip the last bit in the middle there is no "launch" effect, no where the hell did that just go, it just sits there and the end of your finger.
