If I were a vicious, clever, and serious enough lawyer (I hold no legal credentials) I would sue the pants off this company: Sergeant. More specifically, Sergeant’s Pet Care Products. They have caused in a few instances, the deaths of many pets, and in many, many instances a slew of worried pet-human-friends panicked about [...]

That was in addition to 10 bloody horses! All those pets (minus the horses) roamed freely throughout the house! Obviously Byron liked animals and the companionship and the ability to observe natural fauna in [...]
(Actually, I researched this a few days ago, but still wanted to share).
Why this is Important?
We’re 70% H20 (Hey roughly the same proportion of water as the earth!). Water is in all our cells, in our blood, in our brain, in our organs. The water we drink touches every cellular nuance of our [...]
“Because if you are like most people, then like most people, you don’t know you’re like most people. Science has given us a lot of facts about the average person, and one of hte most reliable of these facts is that hte average person doesnt’ see herself [or himself] as average. Most studnets see themselves [...]
“Economists explain that wealth has ‘declining marginal utility,’ which is a fancy way of saying that it hurts to be hungry, cold, sick, tired, and scared, but once you’ve brought your way out of these burdens the rest of your money is an increasingly useless pile of paper. ” (Gilbert 239).
Something spectacular occurred to me after a few hours of meticulous frustration. I was touching up a portion of my material_items_all list and got stuck on a hygiene component. Specifically a hygiene-travel items. I looked up exactly what was the TSA aviation regulation for non-flammable fluids and, appealing to a precise side of me, was [...]
Every webmaster eventually knows that he or she needs tracking. The ability to track visitors, clicks, and the browsers, geographical regions, and more data of each visitor to your site is invaluable information! Properly setting up tracking is like learning about your customer so you can better serve the [...]
This is easily one of the most important posts (out of over 500) that I have ever written and recorded. As someone who has suffered from chronic indecision and the consequential doubt and incapacitation caused by indecision, this is one of my most personally helpful posts, but anyone will benefit from this. Even if you [...]

All the hundreds of posts on the Validate Your Life network will be always available for free, but subsequent posts, updates, and content may diminish and/or change greatly. This site will link to any other [...]
Disclaimer: I felt it necessary to include this Disclaimer. If you consider yourself to have a modicum of faith in any religion, there exists a high degree of certainty (almost a guarantee) that this and other “Atheism For The Win” posts will either decrease your faith or make you angry. That is not my intention. [...]
This covers soccer, core dynamic strength, jump rope, cycling, and yoga- all things that require agility and high fitness. I found the combination of the variety of these clips to be pretty motivational.
I woke-up, surfed the net to determine the difference between jam and preserves (turns out: jelly, the fruit comes in the form of [...]

Productivity Tip : Sany Eneloop AA and AAA Batteries and Charger.
This thing is amazing. I Love the eneloop brand. Their batteries charge more fully, stay charged longer with energy, and are just much better than duracel. I just keep using the small stash of AAA and AA eneloop batteries over and over again [...]
CoolPreviews from CoolIris is an AWESOME addon! I was going to blog about this! Solves a lot of multiple-tab and “read later” problems, but I think it would be more awesome if the “save to stack” feature had a way of saving permanently (even upon browser restart. right now it wipes every browser restart, which [...]
>For the first time, the lack of passion between us weighs down on me.
This sounds like good self self-awareness and some Emotional Intelligence.
I can relate, too. I have had this one woman in my life. Dated. Functional. Practical. Almost a survival relationship. Often people have relationships [...]

My raw notes from watching Rick Steves @ Google Authors. I suggest you check out the clip. Interesting tips and quite humorous and amusing with a few wise messages on quality travel, something I like to think I’ve done a bit of.
Notes on travel. Accept that you’re part of the scene (even as a [...]
“In the Middle Ages, the time served apprentice went off as a journeyman to gain experience with a number of masters, and then settled down under one master he got on with. Here he would produce his masterpiece – literally, the piece of work that proved he was a master. This recognised by the Guild, [...]
Everyone possessing a modicum interest in success, learns precision. From musicians hitting the right note on time, to engineers designing electric circuits, to wordsmiths selecting the most clever phraseology from their diction, to computer scientists optimizing their code, to any profession. Everyone focused on success, focuses on precision.
Stories and Examples of Being Stuck Due to Failing to Socially Reconcile
I was engaging in this form of interaction (I guess it could be called an experience) and started a cluster in the interaction; I was the head-honcho, the “boss” and orchestrator of this cluster of players. It was definitely one of the best [...]
The Ways I work. One of the ways I’ve noticed I do things is by deciding to do something else and then randomly changing it AND scheduling something ahead of time. This is complex, but it amazingly works.
First off, I was plagued by scheduling things on a calendar and then 90% of the time [...]
If you feel stuck trying to eliminate some object, some habit, some clutter, try this strategic walloping shift. Most people focus on how much they dislike something to do away with it; they erroneously think this is a winning strategy to eliminate something. Indeed, this creates a repulsion and [...]
PIVOT is yet another VYL-Created technique. It’s very catchy, considerably more complex than SPS (rightfully so given intention of SPS!), and cognitively caters to how the brain works, ensuring that the neo-cortex quickly picks up and absorbs the functionality of this technique. In other words, this technique has been designed to be “appetizing” for [...]
While many of his techniques and superbly incomparable skills of deduction and observation were certainly accomplished with invisible tools, it was obvious that Sherlock Holmes relaxed and sharpened his razor-sharp mind while playing the violin. Watson knew that Holmes was in a meditative trance of higher clearer, cleaner thinking when practicing his [...]
