Fun Friday…
We like to smile everyday, but smiling on Friday is somehow…just better. Disclaimer: As a retired person, everyday is Friday, well, everyday is the weekend, more accurately.
Anyway, I thought I pass along these five Tips For Daily Living. They cover everything from how to improve or maintain your health, to relationships, to home repair, to…well…just about anything. No cost for sharing these, of course.
- To avoid cutting injuries when slicing vegetables, get another person to hold them. This works especially well if you’re in a hurry.
- High Blood Pressure? Cut yourself and bleed profusely. This technique will reduce the pressure in your veins. When you’re about ready to pass out…you no longer have high blood pressure. Amazing, but true. Trust me; I’m a doctor.
- Habitually oversleep and are late for work? Place a mouse trap on your alarm clock. After a one-time pain-event, you’ll never hit the snooze button again.
- Men! Avoiding arguments with that special-someone about lifting–or not lifting–the toilet seat is easy. Use the sink, corner, shower, or tub. As there is no flushing, this is also an environmentally friendly technique that saves water.
- Overwhelmed by home repair? Don’t be. You only need three tools in your arsenal: WD-40, duct tape, and a hammer.
- If it doesn’t move, but should, use the WD-40.
- If it shouldn’t move but does, use the duct tape.
- If you can’t fix it with a hammer, you’ve got an electrical or plumbing issue, call a specialist.
AND, since you made it to this point, we have a bonus…It’s the Imagineering Fiction, “Thought for the Day.”![]()
Some people are like Slinkies—not really good for anything…but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.
Well, that’s if for another week. Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again on Monday when we’ll have more Can’t Miss Stuff, right here on…Imagineering Fiction.




Galen, what are we going to do with you?
These tips are crazy! Well, except for the WD-40 and duct tape one. I use that stuff every day. But then…I live in the South.

You kill me, Galen. By the way, I have some carrots that need chopping. Can you lend me a hand? (Or at least a few fingers?)
You are so right – duct tape is good for everything! Might be good for the toilet seat, too…
How odd; your thought for the day is one of my mottos. Yes, I’m evil, but I do sport a winning yet menacing smile.
Galen, I love the photo! Modern medicine is wonderful, isn’t it? LOL
Galen, your sense of humor is showing! I never know what to expect when I drop by…but today was fun!
Thanks – these tips will keep me laughing for a while (except for the one about the toilet seats – not funny!)
I’m still laughing. From beginning to end and still. Thanks for a great pick-me-up.
This is so funny. It’s exactly what I needed to put a smile on my “at work and hatin’ it” Friday face. Thanks for the laughs and have a nice weekend, Galen.
Loved this. Great fun stuff. But hey – I didn’t give you the rights to post that mug shot of me!
The Old Silly
I love these tips! I need to tell my husband about the WD-40 an the duct tape. He uses a hammer on everything.
