Board Game Tip of the Day
You should keep pens and paper in any box that requires score keeping or answer writing. A bag of popcorn wouldn't be a bad idea either

Post-Run Tip of the Day
This is a tip for those who might run where giant swarms of gnats sometimes loiter by the side of the road. This tip stems from a run on the Mayan Riviera in Mexico, but I've encountered swarms of gnats in Virginia and Kentucky as well. After your run, always stop and look in a mirror before going into public. Otherwise, you might actually complete a transaction at the resort store and greet five people before realizing you have up to 15 gnats stuck to your face and neck.

We've all been there. We're looking at a site and keep refreshing to see if what we're looking for has been updated. But, often times our browsers will cache items on the page (especially images and Flash™ documents.) This enables faster page loads, and less data transfer, which is actually nice. However, if you're a web developer, or someone who checks the tips site a lot for comments, you want to know that the information you're viewing is perfectly accurate. And, you don't want to empty your cache every time you look at a site. So, here's what you do. To get a page to refresh, and not draw from a cache, simply put a good old-fashioned question mark (?) at the end of your URL, and hit "Enter."

P.S. Great series of tips BTW
I'll add a name to the list. I knew a mom whose kids referred to anyone they didn't like as "stinky lady", which is endlessly funny in any application.
(See? HEE-larious.)
I will however, point out that this is Jason's topic. I only get in trouble for commenting on eye brows.
Is this bad? I've only ever heard "white" and "black" used as terms - both which are normal and not taboo. i.e. "black babies are so cute," "white people can't dance"
Example: in the seventh grade, I about got the crap kicked out of me. In the locker room after gym some other kids were being loud. I said in passing, "I wish those girls would shut up". However, when the offending party thought I said, "I wish those (black) girls would shut up" - WOW - major drama. And I can see why. If I had really said what they thought I had, I would have been insinuating that their whole race was a nuisance and should adapt its behavior to fit whatever restrictions my race preferred. Luckily, a friend came to my defense and affirmed that I was not, in fact, a bigoted creep but merely a kid with a headache. Tragedy averted.
They used to laugh about how they were always featured in Taylor's admissions material.
