Learn to save money on relaxation, Go Swimming!

2009-05-18T02:38:00.000-07:00

It's amazing the level of rejuvenation that you can acheive through even a short swim. I've been shocked over the last few days at how well my skin is repsonding to swimming, and how quickly I've started to feel chizzled, and more energetic, it's something that I suppose I took for granted when I had a pool "at arms length" but after just a few swimming sessions, I've regained energy, clarity of thought and mind.

And, if you have access to a public pool, or friend's house with pool, it can be rather inexpensive :)

Happy Slacking!

Chores -- Emptying the Lint Filter on your dryer

2009-03-21T01:49:00.000-07:00

Emptying the lint filter on the dryer without cramping your fingers into a tight spot and still getting all of the lint out of the filter can be quite a chore, if you don't know this secret!!

As opposed to trying to dig your fingers down into the lint filter to remove the lint, -- simply -- remove the filter from the dryer place upside-down over a trash can and knock the edge of the lint filter on the edge of the trash can and the -- whole -- "sheet" of lint will drop into the trash. You're done!

Chores -- Cleaning the Microwave

2009-03-03T17:24:00.000-08:00

As a slacker one thing you will likely notice is that chores are quite a burden, anyway you look at them.

So... we're going to do a run through on how to wipe out your chores in minimal amount of time and reduce the obtrusion of chores on your daily slacking :-)

Microwaves are a slacker's sidekick, because cooking can be quite a chore in and of itself and as with all things left to themselves they tend towards disorder, including your microwave, so I'm going to share with you a tip on:

How to clean your caked on microwave in just about 45 seconds.

Things you'll need.

Rag
Dish Soap
Water
~~Microwave~~ Dirty Microwave
Electricity
~ 45 seconds

First you're going to need to get the rag slightly damp then apply the dish soap to the rag, and microwave for 30 seconds.

When you're done microwaving the rag with the dish soap on it wipe down the microwave, rinse the rag wipe down one more time to clean the soap out of the microwave and Presto!
