LPT. First time babysitting? Make them stop crying!

LPT. First time babysitting? Make them stop crying!

So yesterday was my first time babysitting, I was babysitting a 2year old, son of my dads friend. He was just in my room, and he fell over and began crying, and I panicked. I then said "Ohh wait! There's water right here!" Say it like it will make the pain go away.(your friend just got bit by a zombie then you say "Ohh wait! There's a first-aid right here" Say it like that.) He drank a little bit, and stopped crying instantly. He got hurt twice more after, and it worked again. Make it look like drinking water is a instant pain remover, and they'll believe it. And yeah I'm a pretty bad babysitter, as this was in like a hour period. Also he actually got hurt four times, and the last time he actually asked for the water, and stopped crying right after. Hope it works!

LPT. Save money on Central heating repairs

If you live in a country where Central heating is necessary for a few months of the year, test the system a month or two before the weather turns cold. When the bad weather hits engineers will be busy fixing everyone's heating that is being switched on for the first time and can command a much higher price. And you will have no choice but pay it as your freezing! If you check the system early you can shop around for a quote to put it right and source parts at your leisure.

LPT. You can google package tracking numbers instead of going through the shipping company website.

LPT. You can google package tracking numbers instead of going through the shipping company website.

Instead of going through the website for FedEx, UPS, USPS, etc, you can just enter your package tracking number in the google search bar. this may not save very many steps but it is very easy to copy and paste a package number from email to the google search bar

LPT:.... Anti-LPT? Canker sores, Sodium lauryl sulfates in your toothpaste may not be the cause.

Ran into a post a few weeks ago saying that sodium lauryl sulfate in my toothpaste could be causing my fairy common canker sore problem.

I wasn't super confident in this idea butttt I went out and bought some sensodyne that was missing the ingredient. I've had two sores since then (have one right now), which is more frequent than usual. Just wanted to throw my experience in. I'll probably still finish the tube of sensodyne maybe it'll have better results in the long run.

I thought feedback may be helpful. I hope others had better results. Canker sores are obnoxious! A hindrance on my ability to eat sweet/spicy garbage!

Tl;dr bought sensodyne still getting sores.

Edit: Seems canker sores are a more common problem than I previously thought. Also seems that there are many with much more sever canker sore problem than myself. I feel a bit weeny for bitching about it now.

Got a bottle of lysine as /u/merrej7 suggested. Other parts of the internets also claim great results from lysine, so we will see.
