 [Notes on Public Speaking] Sometimes I’ve had to speak in public. Tip: Don’t get high and leave your body to observe the people watching you because you’ll lose your place and look the fool. What I do is act. I pretend I’m the one in control and rattle off what I came to say, pausing at the correct moments and saying as few words possible and repeating only the important things and I don’t try to be funny. It’s not easy, but sometimes public speaking is necessary. |

| [Remove Dried Blood] How to Get Fresh & Dry Blood Stains Out of a Couch. Check the care label. Couches are made of many different materials, and while some can be cleaned safely with water, others require special cleaning solutions. Look for the letter code W, S, SW, or X on your upholstery tag to determine if you can clean your couch yourself or if you’ll need to have it professionally cleaned. W, S, and SW mean you can clean the couch with water- or solvent-based cleaners. X means you can’t clean the couch with water or solvents, so you’ll have to take it to a professional to clean the blood. Link |
