Four tips you might very well need at some point
1: How to cure a hang over? This one has been debated since the dawn of fermented liquids, how do you make the morning, and day, after a fun night a little more comfortable? First of, start before you go to bed. Drink half a liter of water, then a small glass of milk, it's also smart to eat something. Open a window in your bedroom and make sure the heat is turned down. A cool place to sleep is very importent. When you wake up, have a big glass of water, then take an advil or something after you have forced yourself to have some breakfast. Here's a smart little tip, chocolatemilk, it's genius, sounds weird, I know, but it really works. Take a small walk. Then take a long slow shower in slightly cool water. You shoud be okay just about the time you're drying of.
2: How to defend yourself if your female and in a dangerous situation, against a bigger opponent? First of, forget the knee to the groin thing all together, they're on to us... Also, the whole scream and step on someones foot, I'm sorry people, this is not self defence as much as it will seriously provoke someone, you don't want that. I you are grabbed, keep calm, this is the most importent thing to remember, you are in control. If the person won't let go, smile, and make sure you are positioned staight in front of your opponent, at a little bit less than arms length. Eyecontact is your friend, this makes the person less likely to realize what you are doing, watching your eyes keeps them from seeing your hands. Make a fist, put your weight a little back, smile, and in a hard and fast way smack your fist into the guy's throat. This is a very ugly punch, it's potentially very dangerous, do not under any sircumstance use it for anything else than pure self defense. But remember that you have the right to defend yourself, and when you have to, you want your opponent to go down and stop beeing a a threath to you. Neutralize the threat, and give yourself the time to get away, that's the trick. This ugly little punch does exacly this, it takes a while to recover from. But once again, very dangerous, purely in self defence when faced with a real threath.
3: Something fun and easy, how to greet a dog and find out if it's friendly or not?
If the dog is tied up somewhere, be careful, it can't get away and can easily be frightened. Look at the dog, is the tail wagging, does it look happy, are the ears standing up(or trying to)? This is friendly bodylanguage for a dog. Is it focused on you? Surprise is often frighting, both for humans and dogs, remember this. When you approach, don't walk all the way over to it, sit down a little and let it approach you, let it smell your hand, smile, but don't flash your teeth. In a dogs world, teeth are not a sign of friendliness, some dogs adopt human behavior and can appear to be a little smiley but most don't. Talk in a friendly voice, they might not understand what you are saying but they understand tone very well. Does the dog seem happy and exited? Then you can pet it. If the dog seem insecure in any way leave it alone, if it seems to have no bodylanguage and/or is ignoring you, stay away. Also, if it's ears are drawn back, and it seems to be making itself look bigger, it's nervous, leave it alone.
4: How to handle some easy phone problems? Don't drink and call/message. If you were not planning to call someone but it suddenly seems like a good idea when you're drunk, its not a good idea. To have an unlisted number is a good thing, it's your phone number, this way you can have more control over who's got it. Keep a charger, or better yet, a charged battery, on your person(please make the chargers smaller soon...), it's very annoying to be out of juice, aspecially since it always happends when you're in real need of the phone(Murphy's law). It's rude to call someone more than twice when they're not picking up, so don't. It's also rude to call for a very long time, if you don't get an answeringmachine, hang up when you would usually get it. Present yourself, yes, I know, everyone's got everybodys number, this makes it easy to forget but sometimes people don't have your number, so say your name. And caller id is the best thing ever. Also known as the tool of choice, for phone dodgers world wide. And we've all been there...
I'm really not very constructive today it appears, this became a very strange column, but hey, we're all allowed an off day. This one is mine, all mine, and I would love to spend it hiding in my room methinks, but no such luck, have to get to the university, so boring... And I'm out of coffee, great, I hate beeing out of coffee. Now I'm gonna be sluggish all day. Snarl. Hope I don't end up yelling at random people, no coffein makes me a very dull girl... (yes, that would be a reference to The Shining, and I'm keeping it) So peace out(bet you haven't heard that one for a while) and keep the world exiting. By doing unexpected things at unexpected times...If no one is annoyed, you're not doing it right.
