Like I can’t leave the house without my bed being made. When I worked for a law firm years ago, I left my bed unmade one day because I was running late. I had to take an early lunch and drive all the way back home to make my bed. I couldn’t stop thinking about that unmade bed…LOL The same with hair in the bathroom floor…I think about it all day if I don’t get it up…LOL I like the lettuce hack too, the hubster will appreciate it! 😊 Hope you are having a great weekend!

Not sure about a whole leaf, but sounds like a great idea!!! Humming to keep from throwing up...wow!!! Never heard that one but hope I remember it the next time I get nauseous! I HATE to throw up!!!!! I don't think the deep voice thing works in some cases...my husband has a deep voice but he tends to mumble...then wonders why I don't hear him!!!!!

A girl friend once said that she thought it was horrible not to shave your legs every day. Since then I obsess over it. Shave EVERY day. That was 20 years ago! I don't eat lettuce on my tacos either, but that is a great life hack. I think the part about speaking deeper to the elderly is true. My Hubs wears hearing aids, he tells me all the time it's not the volume but the pitch.
