Allen Carr – It’s no Smoke! |
|
Written by Mel Waters

 So it’s been 2 years, 5 months, and 20 days since I stopped smoking. Now the only reason and I mean the ONLY reason I know that is because I gave up on April Fools day. Without April 1st as a significant date to remind me I’m sure I wouldn’t have clue how long it’s been.
So that is how long it has been since I sat with other would be non smokers in a room waiting to see if the Allen Carr method of giving up smoking would work.
I entered the room $450 lighter but with a promise that if after the course pending two brief follow sessions, if I was still a smoker I would receive a no quibble refund.
So far I had nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Top 10 Excuses For Getting Out of Work |
|

We've all been there: it's a beautiful day and you can't bear the thought of going into work. So you call in with the lame-old excuse about feeling ill even though you know your boss doesn't buy it. Besides, "feeling ill" is at best only a short-term solution that won't win you any fans at the office. That's why if you're going to play hooky, you need an excuse that will help you save face as well as your sanity. Here are some ideas.
1. (For women) "I have really bad cramps."
Now before you dismiss this one, think about it: Who can argue? It's such an embarrassing topic that nobody will ever challenge you. It's one of those things that men honestly have no clue about and women can sympathize with.
2. (For men) "I have horrible diarrhea."
Again, before you dismiss this one, remember that it's such an embarrassing topic - especially for a man - nobody will doubt your sincerity. Plus, it's simple. You don't need an elaborate back story because no one wants to hear the details. If anything, your boss and co-workers will admire you for your honesty.

Being selected as best man is an honor that comes with a heavy responsibility - giving a speech. If you're having trouble coming up with your own words, try adapting one of these free best man speeches to the situation of your friends who are marrying.
In picking from the selection of free best man speeches, keep in mind the happy couple, their friends and their families. Your goal is helping them start their new life on the right foot without you being the center of attention. Giving a speech that people remember for years after the wedding might not be a good thing.

How To Cope When You Are Surrounded By Idiots |

Are the idiots in your life driving you crazy? Do you often feel like you are surrounded by idiots? Have you ever wondered if YOU are an idiot? Do the idiotic instructions on the packaging of most products you buy these days make you feel like the world must think you are an idiot?
The following article contains lessons on stupidity. They cover things you should pretty much never do. There are many, many more lessons we could add, such as not floating face down in the septic tank or not applying your own tattoo with a wood burner and lead-based house paint, but these are normally material for a post-graduate stupidity course. You probably shouldn't attempt to comprehend these high-level concepts until you have mastered the more basic skills.
