Protect your company and employees from cheap customers-the customers who want more than they pay for, the customers who want something for nothing. I make it a point to fire cheap customers-politely and discreetly. [2005] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

Start small by making sure your day-to-day routine involves others. Try talking to strangers of all kinds, such as salesclerks, the man or woman behind the dry-cleaning counter, the mailperson, or other parents at your children's school. The goal isn't ultimately to date them; it's to become comfortable talking to people you don't know well. A simple question, such as "how are you?" as you're paying for groceries or holding the door, or even just smiling and saying hello, can provide a background of positive social interactions. The courage history you build through these small steps can help you take it a degree further and begin talking to an interesting-looking stranger who crosses your path. [2004] - Bonnie Jacobson

How to apply mouth tape, or "sleep type" as it's also called, is a matter of personal preference. Eventually I realized that all I or anyone really needed was a postage-stamp-sized piece of tape at the center of the lips--a Charlie Chaplin mustache moved down an inch. After much trial and error, I settle on 3M Nexcare Durapore "durable cloth" tape, an all-purpose surgical tape with a gentle adhesive. It was comfortable, had no chemical scent, and didn't leave residue. [2020] - James Nestor

Sex improves with age. Many older adults report that sex is as good as or even better than it was when they were 40. The frequency of climax for women increases with each decade into their 80s. Even though men have less forceful ejaculations, and need more time for a repeat erection, they still enjoy orgasm. Age also provides more free time, few children, and no concerns about pregnancy. However mature adults still have to worry about sexually transmitted diseases. Specialists in sex and aging say 70% of people over 60 who have regular partners have sex at least once a month. [2005] - Sharon Romm
