Also, call them if you find the changes unsatisfactory. This is preferential to trip regret when you discover late in the game your itinerary is hours longer than your originally purchased one.</span>Petehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17625153614580618581noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10133562.post-68047639910545020412013-07-17T22:11:00.001-04:002013-07-17T22:13:42.748-04:00S'more Ideas<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<p>So you have shards of glass all over the floor. After a good sweeping drop some slices of bread on the floor and use them to collect the glass crumbs.</p>
<p>As to what to do with the bread crumbs after that, I have no idea.</p>

For decades it has been know that to keep your microwave clean when heating up soup, fondue, or magma to cover the container with something like a napkin or paper towl. Well napkins droop and create a gross soupy mess.<br />
<br />
So to keep the napkin mess from replacing the microwave mess, use an upside down coffee filter.<br />

Making large purchases can be pretty daunting, especially once you realize everything is negotiable. I feel like it is Me vs. Trained Sales Agent. I found this great collection of <a href="http://changingminds.org/explanations/theories/a_persuading.htm">theories about persuasion</a> and now I feel like it is a little more of an even battle.
Watch out, cause advertising uses lots of these same techniques.
