What are your words of wisdom?

Hello,

Does anyone else love reading lists of life hacks? I do. This Guardian article last week had me scuttling outside to set alight little mounds of coffee grounds in the hope of deterring insects. Friends, I am here to tell you that coffee grounds do not burn, no matter how long you hold a match to them. Although I am a bit tempted to use a blow torch next time.

This will not stop me from trying the thing with the lemon and the microwave, and possibly also the homemade kitchen spray. Do I have too much time on my hands? I certainly do not, but of course that’s the point. Life hacks promise to remove all the frustrations from our lives, and to make everything flow. We follow them because we believe they will save us.
