"Save money on your dinner bill"
Posted On Monday, December 22, 2008 at at 12:48 AM by tips4urlife
Dining out can get expensive -- especially when you have five mouths to feed. But a family's got to eat! Financial expert Farnoosh Torabi shares her advice for cutting that restaurant check in half...
BYOB: bring your own beverage. Pick up a bottle of wine at a liquor store before heading to dinner and you could save up to 100 percent of the restaurant's price on the bottle. Restaurants often mark up wine by over 100 percent. (Note: Some establishments may charge a "corkage fee," usually around $10-$15, for allowing you to bring in your own vino -- but in most cases, you'll still save.) Find the Perfect Bottle of Wine with these tips from Real Simple.
Order an appetizer. Even if appetizer portions of entrees aren't listed on the menu, restaurants may prepare them for customers. The bonus: These portions are sometimes nearly as large as the entrée plate, but a fraction of the price.
Make your meal last. Get two dinners for one price. When ordering, ask your server to pack half your plate in a doggy bag before serving you the other half. You'll have a meal to eat at home tomorrow -- and you won't be tempted to overeat today. Learn how to Transform Leftovers into Party-Perfect Cuisine.
Pay in cash. Having a drink at the bar before your meal? Bartender friends have confided to Farnoosh that credit card users often overspend by an estimated 20 percent. One reason: Throwing down a dollar in cash as a tip for each cocktail you order tends to add up to less than the average 15 to 20 percent tip on a credit card tab.
Make friends with the bartender. Freebies go to those who are friendly...

"using slang languages on messaging"
Posted On Sunday, December 21, 2008 at at 8:54 PM by tips4urlifeI have slang languages to use while text messaging on cellphone, its make me saving times while typing message ....the tips is very good...
Single letters can replace words. Examples:
* be becomes b
* see becomes c
* are becomes r
* you becomes u
* why becomes y
* and becomes n
* to becomes t
Single digits can replace words. Examples:
* ate becomes 8
* for becomes 4
* to or too becomes 2
A single letter or digit can replace a syllable. Examples:
* ate becomes 8, so:
o activate becomes activ8
o great becomes gr8
o mate becomes m8
o later becomes l8r or l8a
o plates becomes pl8s
o skater becomes sk8r or sk8a
* for or Fore becomes 4, so:
o before becomes (combining both of the above) b4
o therefore becomes der4
o therefore becomes th4
There are miscellaneous adaptations of characters. Examples:
However, these are fairly uncommon for the pure reason that they take even longer to type than the originals for the average typist.
* ss becomes $
* oo becomes %
* orr becomes or only write one letter in a sequence
o For example, Sorry becomes Sry, and Tomorrow becomes Tomorow (further abbreviated to 2moro and later to 2mro).
Characters and punctuation are removed to shorten messages:
* Vowels are removed such that the sequence of consonants remain and the word is still recognisable.
o For example, between becomes btwn and yearbook becomes yrbk.
* Whole words may be omitted, especially articles.
* Punctuation may be removed; only question mark and exclamation marks are generally used. The space and capital letter is often omitted after a period.
“/” signifies abbreviation, such as “w/” for with and “s/t” for something.
Other transcriptions of slang or dialect terms can be used if shorter than the original words, as in cos (with fewer letters than because.)
Other text or txt
* Sorry is Sry or soz
* Text is txt
* With is wiv
* Because is coz or bcz
* Talk to you later is ttyl
* Laugh out loud is lol
* Please is plz
* Forever is 4eva
* I don't know is idk

Ten secret to be a better person.
Posted On Wednesday, December 17, 2008 at

8:45 AM
by tips4urlife
do the 10 tips, ihope you can be a better person for your family,friend and all the people that near from you..
The FIRST secret - the power of THOUGHT. Love begins with our thoughts. We
become what we think about. Loving thoughts create loving experiences and loving
relationships. Affirmations can change our beliefs and thoughts about others and
ourselves. If we want to love someone, we need to consider his or her needs and
desires. Thinking about your ideal partner will help you recognise her when you
meet her.
....
The SECOND secret - the power of RESPECT.
You cannot love anyone or anything
unless you first respect them. The first person you need to respect is yourself.
To begin to gain self-respect, ask yourself, What do I respect about myself? -
To gain respect for others, even those you may dislike, ask yourself, What do I
respect about them? -
The THIRD secret - the power of GIVING. If you want to receive love, all you
have to do is give it! The more love you give, the more you will receive. To
love is to give of yourself, freely and unconditionally. Practice random acts of
kindness. Before committing to a relationship ask not what the other person will
be able to give to you, but rather what will you be able to give them. The
secret formula of a happy, lifelong, loving relationship is to always focus on
what you can give instead of what you can take.
The FOURTH secret - the power of FRIENDSHIP. To find a true love, you must first
find a true friend. Love does not consist of gazing into each other"s eyes, but
rather looking outward together in the same direction. To love someone
completely you must love him or her for who they are and not for what they look
like. Friendship is the soil through which love seeds grow. If you want to bring
love into a relationship, you must first bring friendship.
The FIFTH secret - the power of TOUCH. Touch is one of the most powerful
expressions of love, breaking down barriers and bonding relationships. Touch
changes our physical and emotional states and makes us more receptive to love.
The SIXTH secret - the power of LETTING GO. If you love something, let it free.
If it comes back to you, it's yours, if it doesn"t, it never was. Even in a
loving relationship, people need their own space. If we want to learn to love,
we must first learn to forgive and let go of past hurts and grievances. Love
means letting go of our fears, prejudices, egos and conditions. Today I let go
of all my fears, the past has no power over me - today is the beginning of a new
life. -
The SEVENTH secret - the power of COMMUNICATION. When we learn to communicate
openly and honestly, life changes. To love someone is to communicate with them.
Let the people you love know that you love them and appreciate them. Never be
afraid to say those three magic words: I Love You Never let an opportunity pass
to praise someone. Always leave someone you love with a loving word - it could
be the last time you see him or her. If you were about to die but could make
telephone calls to the people you loved, who would you call, what would you say
and .. why are you waiting?
The EIGHTH secret -
The power of COMMITMENT. If you want to have love in
abundance, you must be committed to it, and that commitment will be reflected in
your thoughts and actions. Commitment is the TRUE test of love. If you want to
have loving relationships, you must be committed to loving relationships. When
you are committed to someone or something, quitting is never an option.
Commitment distinguishes a fragile relationship from a strong one.
The NINTH secret - the power of PASSION. Passion ignites love and keeps it
alive. Lasting passion does not come through physical attraction alone; it comes
from deep commitment, enthusiasm, interest and excitement. Passion can be
recreated by recreating past experiences. When you felt passionate spontaneity
and surprises produce passion. The essence of love and happiness are the same;
all we need to do is to live each day with passion.
The TENTH secret -
the power of TRUST. Trust is essential in all loving
relationships. Without it one person becomes suspicious, anxious and fearful and
the other person feels trapped and emotionally suffocated. You cannot love
someone completely unless you trust him or her completely. Act as if your
relationship with the person you love will never end. One of the ways you can
tell whether a person is right for you is to ask yourself, . Do I trust them
completely and unreservedly? - If the answer is no -, think carefully before
making a commitment.
