pesky pilot lights

Today we will be looking at the gas appliances that just so happen to quit working.  I am referring to the stove, the heater, and the water heater.  These very necessary items are some of the hardest to figure out without some kind of foreknowledge.

Happy Valentines Day!! How to fix a broken heart

The Day is Valentines day and what is the most common thing to get broken on this day...... the HEART. 
What i advise and you can bet I have had my share of broken hearts:
1. Don't try and hide your feelings. The Worst thing to do is repress those emotions because at exactly the wrong time they will surface and create havoc. The best thing that i have found to do is get your favorite take out food and a movie that will help you thru the night and let it all go. If  you live with someone i would go somewhere  that  is private. This allows your feelings to be released and have the mind do its job to calm you down. I have found that in the times that i do this step i have gotten over my broken heart more quickly.
2. Don't force yourself to be social. Yet another thing that harms a broken heart is the not so broken hearts of others in the social environment. These people are out in the clubs and bars to meet people you are their to forget about people. One of the biggest drops in social perception is when you have a broken heart because you just want someone to make you feel important and forget about the person who just broke your heart.
3.Stay in touch with friends and family.  One of the best ways to keep your mind busy is to talk to others. Now you don't have to talk about your breakup however you should ask for advice because some of the people closest to you not only want to help but they have also been thru life and they could have advice and the experience to get you thru this.

If you are going thru a ruff time this valentines day i hope this will help and i will be checking this blog all day long please post a comment and i will reply

Idea for the tribe

Ok so this may be a side bar but I want to put it in because I think it will help "The Tribe". If everyone likes the idea we should all follow each others blog and occasionally mention to our followers about the tribe and all the different blogs. This method of word of mouth could possibly be our golden ticket into getting the whole tribe up to 1000 followers. If we work together we can do it. 

Probing

     Ok so i have caught a little snag but not to worry their is plenty of time to work out the kinks. I have started to set things up for my first trial run. I am creating a flyer to hand out at the local supermarkets, while starting to plan a conference to have like 20 to 100 people be helped at once. The venue that i wanted told me that they where all booked up for the winter(thanks snowbirds). So on to plan b i am searching for  a nice big spot that preferably has a projector  and wont charge me anything to hold this conference. Any ideas please comment.
     Well the computer program that i am using is power point and although i have started to make some progress it is not coming out the way that i would like it to, but beggars can not be choosers and without some teck support i feal that the cause is a dangerous one to trudge. I will continue to work on this and when i get a result that is visually pleasing i will post it. If you have any suggestions please comment.
     The conference, yes i am trying to put together a one or two time event with refreshments and a audience to speak to about fixing things. The event will only have a 30 minute time limit and i plan on having a demonstration and some videos not to mention if all goes well i will have a guest speaker to unroll his handy man expertise for all. If you would like to be a guest speaker or have any ideas please comment

The first trial run

     OK so today is Wednesday and i have a idea that i want to put into action but like always i need a little help.  This has to do with the flyer that i want to hand out to get my name out into the public.  So i want to make a sheet of paper that has four little boxes in it and in those boxes i would like them to have the information and pictures. It dose not have to be to big i want people to hold on to them like putting it in their pockets or purses.  And since the flyers are only going to be two pages that makes two flyers per paper.
     The program i think i need to use is power point and compressing the slides into 4 per page but if their is another easier way please do not hesitate to comment thank you

The Project

     So for my first trial run i plan on making a two sheet (i guess you could call it a) flyer. With a short but detailed description of who i am and why i am doing this. Hey well i guess i haven't told you all yet who i am and why i am doing this haha.
      My name is Harlon Johnson and i am currently going to Mohave Community college. In my Psychology class i have a project that holds the highest % of my final grade. But not to worry its is somthing fun and easy for me to do. I bet from my other posts you can figure out what i am doing......yep yep i am teaching you how to fix things.
     Now you may be asking yourself "why" well i have always loved to fix things around the house. It makes my wife happy and makes me feel good since i did not have to call a repair man. Their are not that many kids now a days that know how to snake a drain or re wire a screen or even how to hang a door, all these things and more i got to learn from my dad when i was growing up.
     So my project i am going to have on the second page a short how to fix 1 2 3 with a picture and at the bottom i will put a link to this blog. My goal is to help people but for the class i need 1000 followers so please spread the message i literally can not do this without your help. If you only follow my blog and do not live in my immediate area do not worry all my remidies for fixing things will be on this blog. I will be blogging on all my progress and i will also post the evidence of my "flyer" so you can comment and such.


If you have any ideas on how to fix things please tell me. if you want me to show teach you how to fix something please ask me. If i fix things and their is an easier way to do it please teach me.
