Some smart people decided to hack their attempt From this article: Almost immediately after the ad was first released, Wikipedia users began to alter the site's entry for the Whopper, in an attempt to prank the pranksters and trick Google Home devices into reading out ingredients for the whopper that included "cyanide" and "a medium-sized child."

I have a friend that is married, him and his wife live in separate homes. I believe at this very moment that they do live under the same roof but he mentioned that she is buying a house nearby. I've known them for 10+ years and they seem very happy. And I agree with doing what works for your relationship and not what "they" say you "should" do. Plus, just because you have different beds doesn't mean you can never sleep in the same one at the same time ever again "Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity"

Here are two more good ideas that I just read in an article about Tony Robbins: Find a way to understand more about your ideal clients than they know about themselves. Do more for these people than any other business is doing. Add this value, and you'll create raving fans. "Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity"

I agree that people don't care, but I believe that is because they do not know any better. If you educate your customers as to why your prices are higher, then the customers you really want will be the ones that come to your business. The needy and cheap ones will go to the Groupon specials. When people ask me about skydiving and start talking about a Groupon deal I try to educate them about the difference in the dropzones in the area (the ones that use Groupon and the one that does not), about the difference in video quality from having outside video to better quality cameras (and the difference in cost to the dz and that most that use a handcam charge nearly the same price as the outside video ones), about the difference in the planes that are used type of plane and altitude that they will get with a Groupon deal (and about how the bigger planes allow more people in it so they get to watch other skydivers jump out and having fun), and about the overall facilities at the places. Overall I try to educate people about how almost any business that is giving a discount (any discount, not just through other sites) and giving 40% (or better) of the remaining amount to Groupon, that they are going to have to cut corners somewhere (or they were over-charging to begin with, just so they can offer a "discount") and that you get what you pay for. Ultimately, some care and some don’t. And to me, the ones that care are much better (and generally easier) customers. I would think if you put good content, in regards to those things, on your website and made sure your seo (search engine optimization) reflects some of it, that you would get more traffic to your website, which (if your website answers enough of their questions and appeals to them) in turn would lead to more customers booking tandems. You could also say something along the lines of how the money that is not given to Groupon allows you to have more money for maintenance and repairs. But you would not want to sound too defensive (with any of it), which would turn varying people away, and, of course, you would want to make sure you are actually doing all the repairs and maintenance (not saying anyone is not doing it, just clarifying to not use it falsely). I have utilized the same tactic for my business, and it is working pretty good so far. For marketing, I do not do much but have a website (that ranks really well on Google) and a few directory listings. If I did a few more things I am certain that my business would do even better, it's just a matter of getting the right people on my team to handle the work and I am very picky about that "Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity"

Depends on what you like to do, how much time you have and how far you want to drive. There are some cool shops, restaurants, and breweries around Flagstaff. There is also Lowell Observatory and Lava River Caves. A little bit North, there is Wupatki National Monument and Sunset crater (on the same state park road as Wupatki). Further North there is North up

I more or less did that. I had a job that I was not happy in and was getting more miserable each year. For years I kept saying I was going to quit and start my own business. I did start my business when I was still at the job but only worked it part time. I had a stable job with decent pay and benefits, plus the economy was in the tank at the time, so I let fear keep me there much longer than I should have. But I finally had enough of the corporate bs and turned in my notice. I ended up doing it at the beginning of what is considered the slow season for my industry. However, I made it through the summer months just fine. And since then everything has been great. I did it because I was tired of working under someone else's rules and micro-management, plus ultimately I knew I would not be happy unless I was working for myself. The only slight regret I have is that I did not do it sooner. "Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity"

If you are needing dental work and don't have the money to get it done now from your dentist, you can try to find a dental college near you. The cost in their clinic is generally about half (or less) of standard rates, though it does take a lot more time for each appointment as all the work has to be checked by the dentist on staff, pretty much at every step. But sometimes you can get lucky and get some free work done, depending on what you need done and what they need to do for their practice boards and such.

I clearly said as a temporary fix. I have never and would never suggest using that as a permanent fix. If you have a filling fall out, have a lot of pain or sensitivity to the point of not being able to eat anything, and cannot get to a dentist immediately, there is nothing wrong with using a proper temporary filling. The dentist that I was going to at the time has no issues and said it was a good thing to use temporarily. Key word being temporarily. Several people do try to use it as a permanent fix to either save money, which doesn't work because it usually causes more problems in the long run which then costs more, or to just avoid going to the dentist period, which again doesn't work and usually causes more problems and pain in the long run. Using super glue on a denture or partial takes a special kind of stupid, especially to reattach it to your mouth. But then again a lady once used an avocado pit as a diaphragm (a friend of mine that worked in an ER told about that one years ago) because it was the same width as the one she misplaced "Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity"

I have used something similar to this in the past as a temporary fix. Not sure if this is the same brand that I used but it looks similar. http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/dentemp-os-dental-filling--cap-repair-material/ID=prod2339-product "Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity"

Saw this on FB and thought I would share on here as well. This was the caption on the picture: "Now this is funny! True story, a flight attendant on Delta Airways posted this picture with caption "only one paying attention to safety demo." I did a search to see if I could verify if it was true or not and could not really find anything to verify it. But did find this link with other cool pictures, Funny airplane pictures check out page 2, 4 pictures down, might try that the next time I fly somewhere.

I would check out this site, it was started by an Australian veterinarian.

A friend posted this on FB and I thought I would share it on here as it seems a bit sketchy so I think it might be stolen. It's a black Wings container with some pink on it. https://jackson.craigslist.org/spo/5158432402.html "Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity"

I have a neighbor that has 13+ cats in a 3 bedroom condo. So compared to her, you are not even close. The picture with the lady & the cats I would have thought was my neighbor's but I don't live in Georgia, so I know that is not her car. "Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity"
