Get lost in the clouds<\/strong>
\nEverything you could ever want to know about clouds is available at the\u00a0International Cloud Atlas<\/a>\u00a0hosted by the World Meteorological Organization. You can learn the\u00a0basics of observing and identifying clouds<\/a>. See\u00a0photo descriptions of clouds<\/a>. Search their\u00a0image gallery<\/a>.\u00a0Compare two images<\/a>. And if you go deep enough you might find unlisted YouTube links to time lapse videos\u00a0like this one<\/a>.\u00a0\u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Check for hidden hotel fees<\/strong>
\nSo called \u201cresort fees\u201d are a sneaky way for hotels to advertise a low price then tack on an additional charge. Even if you don\u2019t use the hotel pool of fitness center, they\u2019ll add it to your bill. Before booking a hotel, visit\u00a0Resort Fee Checker<\/a>\u00a0to see if it charges a resort fee. The site also has information on the price of breakfast, internet, parking, pets, and other fees. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Placebo pills<\/strong>
\nThe weird thing about placebos is that they work similar to the substances they replace. The science shows there is some positive effect with these simple inert pills. There is even a small proven effect when the patient knows they are placebos! With that in mind some folks administer placebos to themselves. Because they have a positive effect I also found it useful to have a small bottle of placebo pills around to meet an emergency need of a placebo. These are gel capsules of inert fiber stamped with the logo of\u00a0Zeebo<\/a>. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Great little dot-grid notebook<\/strong>
\nMy favorite small notebook is the inexpensive\u00a0Muji W-ring dot-grid notebook<\/a>\u00a0with a clear plastic cover. The ring binding is great because the notebook lies flat. Muji seems to have run out of them, but I found an\u00a0excellent knock-off from Yansanido<\/a>\u00a0on Amazon. I bought a 6-pack for less than $3 per notebook. The paper seems to be a bit thinner than the Muji version, but pen ink is crisp on the pages. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Remote computer access<\/strong>
\nSome computer and software problems can only be solved by getting the expert onto your computer. The way to do that remotely is with\u00a0TeamViewer<\/a>. My tech-savvy son acts as my IT-support guy, and so he comes onto my computer, from wherever he is, on his computer. We use TeamViewer which enables this remote connection instantly, easily, securely and for free. (Free for private use. TeamViewer\u2019s income comes from businesses users.) He is able to control my machine remotely. It works like magic, and because we both have it installed, we\u2019ll invoke it without hesitation. (Of course, be sensible about using or installing this powerful tool.) \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

How to return your eyes to their natural state<\/strong>
\nHere is a tip from the\u00a0r\/Meditation subreddit<\/a>. To block out your internal monologue practice expanding your peripheral vision.\u00a0User\u00a0taemoo<\/em>\u00a0further explained this tactic<\/a>: \u201cThe trick is to keep your vision as \u201copen\u201d as possible, not to focus on anything unless it\u2019s necessary for a specific task \u2026.\u201d and shared a YouTube video titled:\u00a0Meditation – Returning Your Eyes to the Natural State<\/a>, where Meditation teacher Loch Kelly walks you through this exercise. When I practice this an instant calmness washes over me. I feel like I just discovered a new superpower. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
