Life Hacks
Reduce Auto Theft: Always turn off any electrical equipment you have in your automobile when you are away from it. Criminals have been recently found using radio and bluetooth detectors to determine which cars to break into.
Feeling Anxious or in Panic Mode: For those who are nervous or think they might be having a panic attack, stop moving, lean up against the wall, and take some deep breathes. Take 2 or 3 deep breaths (from your diaphragm, not your chest) for a very slow count of four. (That's four seconds on the in-breath, four more on the out-breath.) Simply doing this can keep the anxiety or panic attacks from growing into something serious.
Missing Persons Poster Beware: Do you have any information regarding a poster that reads "missing person"? Don’t report it to any phone number mentioned in the poster, instead contact the authorities. You never know who made the poster and their intentions.
Cat Belly Scratch: Is the cat showing you, its belly? Always try to pet around the sides, not the actual belly. Cats do this as a sign of trust, so going straight for their belly can be seen as a violation of their trust, hence why you often see them biting or scratching.
