Ten Ways to Become a Victim of Crime and Violence.
Need to inject a little excitement to your hum-drum life? Become a victim of crime! It’s easy to be a target of criminals and violent assailants. Just follow these 10 easy ways to get robbed, injured, maimed, and/or killed.
In no particular order:
1. Ignore Your Surroundings. Don’t pay attention to your environment. Solely focus on where you’re going, or get lost in your thoughts. Don’t look around you to see if there are any potential problems. Don’t worry about loiterers around your car. Talk on your mobile phone on your way to the car or walking on the street. Keep your head down.
2. Be a Soft Target. Act in a way that assailants will choose you over others. First, be oblivious to everything around you (see #1 above). Act meek and fearful. Look down and slouch. Don’t speak up or look at anyone.
3. Don’t Have a Plan. Be a spontaneous free spirit! You figure that if you’re ever in a confrontation, you’ll immediately react properly, without ever planning an escape or rehearsing an escape plan. Don’t quickly scan for exits wherever you are. At home, don’t develop an escape plan (which can also be use for escaping a fire) with your family.

Five Creative Ways to Deal with Kids.
- Magic Spray. Kids have the tendency to get injured in every opportunity possible. About 90% of their injuries are trivial, but their screaming and yelling try to convince you otherwise. You can probably recall a few instances when you’ve witnessed a kid trip over their own feet – then they get up slightly stunned, but not crying or screaming. At their first glimpse of blood the silence instantly disappears. Luckily, the placebo effect works on kids 95% of the time. Small kids can’t take sugar pills so you can create your own placebo. Just take an old spray container, fill it with water, and label it, “Magic Spray.” Then create some story about how you found it in a magic cave and how it heals all wounds. Spray it on the kid’s injury and watch them magically stop crying!
- Imaginary Super Hero. Kids have an over active imagination, sometimes it actually scares them. Some variation of a Boogie Man could keep them up at night. If it’s not helping to simply tell the kid there is no such thing, then you need to make them stop thinking about it all together. Tell them to imagine the biggest and strongest super hero imaginable. Every time their bad thoughts pop up, tell them to imagine their super hero crunch up their thoughts like a piece of paper and throw it away in a trash bin. And remind the kid that the super hero has super speed and will never waste time to destroy their bad thoughts.

8 Difficult Stains and Easy Ways To Remove Them.
Like most people, I hate getting my clothes stained.
List on how to remove them.
- Blood. This, for me, is the easiest stain to remove. Whether fresh or dried, I just pour hydrogen peroxide on the affected area, wipe the bubbles away and with it, the blood stains.
- Candle wax. This stain, I seldom meet, but when I do, I simply sandwich the stained fabric between two pieces of paper towel, and press with a hot iron. The hot iron will melt the wax, and the paper towels will absorb them.
- Chocolate. The fastest way to remove chocolate stains is with a tiny amount of chlorine bleach. Just pour some bleach into the cap, dip a ballpen end into the bleach, touch the wet end on the stain and wait a minute. For larger stains, I dip an old toothbrush into the bleach instead of a pen, and brush the stain lightly.

Ten Ways to Fail at Blogging.
Everybody writes lists on how to succeed at blogging and making money online. So I thought I’d go against the grain and compile a list of how to achieve the opposite.
- Irregularity - This is probably the biggest killer so I put this one first. Irregular posting is a surefire way to kill off your blog. You need to make sure you post on a regular basis so that you’re readers can establish some sort of timescale as to when you will be posting. If it’s once a week… stick to that, if it’s once a day… stick to that. But don’t try take on something you can’t handle so you end up losing interest or not being able to keep up. Something mental like 20 posts a day… you might end up running out of ideas so quick that you could not post for a week. Keep your posting regular!
- Writing for search engines - Another deadly killer. In-fact, you can still get traffic to your blog obviously if you just write good organic text, but the main point here is it will only ever be that. It will be hard to establish any sort of word of mouth, blog to blog kudos or social following unless you are strongly opinionated or an exceptional writer or both. Make sure you write for your readers, not Google.
