bathtub plug tip

the plug for the bathtub isn't that great.  after a few minutes, a significant amount of water drains out of the tub, but there's an easy fix!  take a small square of saran wrap and put it between the plug and the drain.  that will slow the flow of water leaking out.  hello, longer bubble baths!

reheating fries tip

i have a big styrofoam container of leftover red robins fries from yesterday. 

to reheat leftover french fries, heat up a skillet to medium high and lay a single layer of fries in the skillet.  shake the skillet a bit and when the bottom of the fries are lightly golden brown, turn them over.  heat some more until the underside is lightly golden brown as well.  dump them on a plate and eat with honey mustard dressing!

you don't have to add oil to the skillet because there's already a ton of oil from the fries themselves.

super good, super fresh and way faster than reheating them in an oven.

flat tire tip

when you have a flat tire and you're changing a spare, put your parking brake on so you'll be able to un-lugnut your tire without it spinning around and around.
