Ghosts How to Communicate With a Ghost in Your Home, Seriously!

Tweet This Post To a Friend Click Here

If you think your home is occupied or visited by a Ghost, I’ve figured out the best way to communicate with Ghosts. Unfortunately it didn’t work for me but it may work for you. For all I know Ghosts may not exist but if by chance they do and one likes to hang out in your Home, here’s how to make contact. I’m sure most of you have had experiences at home where things seemed to have moved slightly or more from where you were sure you left them, objects you’ve hung on the wall securely just suddenly have fallen without reason, you hear strange creaks and sounds that seem to come from nowhere, etc. I’m guessing but can’t prove that some of these are caused by Ghosts. I know I’ve had a bunch on and off at my home for the last few years. They are more annoyances then anything else and I haven’t tried to do anything about it until lately.

So last week I thought OK so what if there’s a Ghost in my Place? I figured if I could somehow communicate with a Ghost, I could unlock some mysteries that have always puzzled me like: 1. What’s the Afterlife really like, 2. Who killed Jon Benet Ramsey, 3. Who Killed JFK, 4. Are there Aliens from outer space in the Afterlife and where are they from, 5. Where is Al Capone’s money hidden and other secret fortunes, 6. Was Amanda Knox involved in Meredith Kercher’s murder, 7. Who Killed Bobby Fuller, etc. ? I figure if there are Ghosts then there must be a Ghost Network and my Ghost could research the answers for me. But I had to touch base and communicate with the Ghost in the first place. So I simply said out loud, “If there is a Ghost in my Home, please have the framed picture of Bela Lugosi, Peter Lorre and Boris Karloff from the movie ‘You’ll Find Out’ hanging on the outside of my open bedroom door fall down to the ground within the next day”. That picture (see Above) has never fallen down in the 4 years I’ve had it. I mean how hard is it for a Ghost to have a framed 8X10 picture fall down from a lousy door. Well guess what, it didn’t work! I have no desire to repeat this attempt to communicate with a Ghost in My Home again, sorry, its put up or shut up. I’m making no excuses. Obviously there’s no ghost in my home or the Ghost is so shy, he or she is worthless! But that’s not to say there isn’t a ghost in your home and that’s how to break the ice.

If the picture had fallen, then the next thing I would have done is put 26 sheets with a separate letter on each sheet and ask the ghost to move 1 Sheet that was the initial of his first name and probably give the ghost 2 days for that. Then the same question for the Ghost’s surname initial. From there I would then try to get their full name, where they were from, when they died, etc. and then take things from there.

If you have better luck with your ghost, please get the Ghost to at least find out about JFK, Jon Benet Ramsey, Bobby Fuller and Amanda Knox and tell me. I gots to know!

Fear of Flying Remember Lt. Thomas E. Selfridge

Tweet This Post To a Friend Click Here

I bet 99% of the world doesn’t know who Lt. Thomas E. Selfridge was. I sure as hell didn’t. We all know that the Wright Brothers made the first sustained powered flights but does anyone remember the name Lt. Thomas E. Selfridge? We should but don’t just because we’re all suppose to believe the flying is safer then driving a car, Kumbaya Kumbaya. Lt. Thomas E. Selfridge was the first person ever killed in recorded aviation history! Now why don’t any of us know this? Because no one wants to remind you that Flying sometimes has bad consequences.

“When Orville Wright came to Fort Myer to demonstrate the Wright Flyer for the US Army Signal Corp division, Lt. Thomas E. Selfridge arranged to be a passenger while Orville piloted the craft. On September 17, 1908, the Wright Flyer circled Fort Myer 4½ times at 150 feet (46 m). Halfway through the fifth circuit, the right propeller broke, losing thrust. This set up a vibration, causing the split propeller to hit a guy wire bracing the rear vertical rudder. The wire tore out of its fastening and shattered the propeller; the rudder swiveled to the horizontal and sent the Flyer into a nose-dive. Orville shut off the engine and managed to glide to about 75 feet (23 m), but the Flyer hit the ground nose first.

When the craft hit the ground, both Selfridge and Wright were thrown against the remaining wires. Selfridge was thrown against one of the wooden uprights of the framework and his skull was fractured. He underwent neurosurgery but died that evening without regaining consciousness. He was 26. Orville suffered severe injuries, including a broken left thigh, several broken ribs and a damaged hip, and was hospitalized for seven weeks. Selfridge wasn’t wearing any headgear while Wright was only wearing a cap, as two existing photographs taken before the flight prove. If Selfridge had been wearing a helmet of some sort he most likely would have survived the crash. As a result of Selfridge’s death the US Army’s first pilots wore large heavy headgear reminiscent of early football helmets”. Above quoted text from Wikipedia free of use policy

My main problem with Flying is that if something bad is going to happen, chances are you’ll know about it for a few minutes and there is no way for you to escape. You are trapped. That’s what I can’t deal with. If one just suffered instant death without warning I would have no trouble flying. But because death isn’t always instantaneous without warning when an Airplane crashes, I won’t fly period. To people who say I’m crazy and overreacting, all I have to say is Lt. Thomas E. Selfridge and they’ll all go who huh “oow wah wah walla walla bing bang”. For more on Fear of Flying in My Blog please read:Fear of Flying Is A Good Thing and other articles in my Anxiety section. Oh yes, almost all major commercial airline crashes happen in groups of three within a few months worldwide so you might want to keep that in mind when planning to fly. My theory for that is basically after the first crash anxiety builds up amongst the airlines, airline personnel, pilots, airline maintenance and repair workers, air traffic controllers and passengers affecting their subconscious and causing them to make anxious mistakes they normally wouldn’t make. In the case of passengers, I believe but can’t prove, that their collective brain waves give off some negative energy that may somehow affect the flight.

Tweet This HTML Code Blog Traffic Has Increased Significantly

Tweet This Post To a Friend Click Here

I just started putting Tweet This in HTML Code on my Blog and Unique Organic Traffic has Increased Significantly as a result. I’m assuming this isn’t a coincidence. I’m beginning to love Twitter! I chose to put Tweet This in HTML code simply because I do not know how to upload Plug-Ins on Wordpress of which there is a Tweet This Plug-In. So the bottom line is, I Put “Tweet this Post to a Friend” in HTML as a link under the picture of each Blog Post in Bold and manually insert the Tiny URL web site for each Post. See above. If some of these words sound Martian, relax I’ll explain. Oh, before I go on, one commercial for myself. This Blog is supported by our Huge Online Discount Gift Store Click Here as well as our other Discount Online Stores Listed Below, so if you need to buy a gift or present for yourself, a friend or anyone else, please check it out.

Here’s the moment you’ve been waiting for the HTML Code Link: <a href=”http://www.twitter.com//home?status=http://tinyurl.com/Manually Insert this second part for Each Blog Post” target=”_new”>Tweet This Post To a Friend Click Here or Any Other Phrase You Want Here</a>

The wording I’ve bolded you manually have to fill in yourself for each individual Blog Post. Specifically 1. To shorten your various URL’s for Blog Posts for Twitter, you use Tiny URL’s instead of your regular long URL. To convert your URL to a Tiny URL go to http://tinyurl.com/ by Clicking Here There you just insert your Blog Post URL and out will come a Tiny URL that is fully functional that will get you to your Blog Post. It really works! I don’t know how but it works. For example this is the URL for this Blog Post: http://www.giftsandfreeadvice.com/free_advice/tweet-this-html-code-blog-traffic-has-increased-significantly The tiny URL is http://tinyurl.com/m4yuab Go ahead and put the Tiny URL Address in Your Internet Browser Address Bar and hit enter. See its the same web Post. 2. Use any phrase you want and substitute that for where the phrase “Tweet This Post” starts. You can just choose to delete any wording after Tweet This Post to a Friend Click Here if you want or delete any wording after Tweet This Post to a Friend, use whatever phrase you want.

The one thing I’ve noticed is http://tinyurl.com/ is fixed language for each Post and the only thing that changes is this http://tinyurl.com/This is Variable
Once you have your phrase then all you need to do is manually change the Tiny URL for each Blog Post on the HTML Language. Specifically: You Would Put for this example m4yuab after http://tinyurl.com/ so it would be http://tinyurl.com/m4yuab For your next blog Post that you want to put this link in, you would delete m4yuab and replace it with the second part of the Tiny URL for that Post. For example, my Blog Post Free Blogging Guide Step by Step Make Money on Your Blog which has the URL www.giftsandfreeadvice.com/free_advice /free-blogging-guide-step-by-step-guide-to-blogging-and-making-money-revised/, the Second Part of the Tiny URL is madwfx and you would enter that manually in the HTML link and it would be <a href=”http://www.twitter.com//home?status=http://tinyurl.com/madwfx” target=”_new”>Write Tweet This Post To a Friend Click Here or Any Other Phrase You Want Here</a>

You’ll have noticed I didn’t use an image for my Tweet This link. I chose not to because I feel it would look to busy where I placed this link under the Picture. Once you have the link going, it’s really easy and I hope your blog traffic increases as a result.

Murder Suspect Amanda Knox Parents How to Waste Money- My Personal Opinion

Tweet This Post To a Friend Click Here

Let’s start out with I have nothing against Meredith Kercher Murder Suspect Amanda Knox’s parents and this blog is not meant to kick Good People when they’re down. I personally think Amanda Knox is guilty or had involvement with Meredith Kercher’s murder, but that is not what this Blog Post is about. From what I’ve read and seen about this about this case on TV, it seems Amanda Knox’s parents have spent all their money trying to get Amanda Knox freed. That’s to be admired whether you think Amanda is guilty or not. They are her parents and if I was ever in a similar situation I would wish my family would do the same. What I don’t get though is and for all I know I may be totally misinformed (feel free to correct me), a great deal of their money has been spent on American PR. Why?

Bottom line is, Amanda Knox is on trial in Italy for murder, not the United States, and by spending money on a PR campaign in the United States, it doesn’t mean a damn thing to the people in Italy in fact it actually seems to make Italians hate Amanda Knox more and want to see her guilty as charged. The PR campaign has been successful if successful means getting US TV Networks to broadcast shows that show Amanda Knox in a favorable light as a “wronged person” done in by what is portrayed as a corrupt, idiotic Italian Justice System populated by misguided people. The trouble is what people in the United States think has no bearing on how Amanda Knox is being tried in Italian Court and I can guarantee you that the Italian people don’t appreciate their country, themselves and the Italian justice system portrayed in such a derogatory manner. I’m sure you could make similar arguments against Justice in the United States- hi, OJ. If the Knox’s thought by doing this campaign that “Super Obama” would come to save the day and get Amanda back to the United States a free woman, they are sadly mistaken. Hell we can’t even get a biological father, David Goldman, his son back from Brazil, so how do you think we’ll get a murder suspect back?

I know I’m playing Monday Morning Quarterback but I think the Knox’s money would have better been spent on more Positive PR in Italy the country where she is being tried. To use an old 60’s slogan, Fighting for Peace is like F ing for Chastity! And I don’t mean Chaz!

Sports Illustrated Ban Swimsuit Models with Breast Implants Talk the Talk

Tweet This Post To a Friend Click Here

I still am enraged why Sports Illustrated can be so self righteous about steroids when Sports Illustrated themselves allows models with Breast Implants to pose for their Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues among other issues. It’s do as I say, not as I do, especially when money is involved. While I personally don’t endorse the use of steroids, as far as I’m concerned, if an athlete wants to screw up his health, I’m not going to lose sleep over it. If Sports Illustrated wants to cast the first stone and rag on athletes like Bobby Bonds, A-Rod, Roger Clemens, etc., fine then let them set an example by banning the use of models with breast implants.

“The Swimsuit Issue emphasizes natural beauty,” the SI spokesman told CNBC. “The freckles are left on and, in this case, the tattoos came off.” In reference to why Danica Patrick’s tattoo was photoshopped away in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Before I go on, this blog post is the second updated Blog of an earlier blog I posted.

Let’s start off with, I hate implants. So I admit I’m biased. I like nice sized breasts but hate implants as they’re the most unnatural feeling in the world for me- feels like I’m squeezing a rubber ball. I’m a man and my two experiences with women with implants were experiences I don’t wish to remember (no pun intended). As I said it felt like I was squeezing a rubber ball. The weird thing is that women with implants seem to think they’re hot. Well not to me.

Anyway, the point of this blog is not to rant against women with breast implants but to rant against Sports Illustrated hypocrisy about Steroids. I love reading Sports Illustrated and they have great writers and great stories. What I hate about Sports Illustrated is their Self Righteousness. I don’t have a problem with them reporting an actual story but I do have problems with them saying what’s wrong with certain aspects of sports and what needs to be done to clean them up when I’m sure they have their own internal problems. My problem has to do with Sports Illustrated’s consistency.

My biggest problem is Sports Illustrated condemns artificial enhancement of athletic performance but it apparently is OK to use women with breast implants to sell their Swimsuit issue. Somehow I can’t reconcile the two other than breasts implants are legal and I guess steroids are not. I honestly don’t know the details about steroids and other performance enhancing drugs and I personally don’t care. I don’t use them but could care less if an athlete uses them or not. If they want to screw up their health, it’s on them, why should I care? I’m not commending the use of drugs in sports but from my fans point of view and I may be in the minority, I could care less if it enhanced an athletes performance. I’m sure in life that many of the worlds most successful people and corporations used methods which probably wouldn’t be considered ethical at one time or another to achieve their positions so why should the sports world be different?

To reiterate, I don’t care if an athlete uses performance enhancements or not- if they want to damage their health that’s their business. On the other hand, they shouldn’t be used to encourage others either. What’s the solution? I don’t know but I think Sports Illustrated needs to walk the walk and talk the talk and stop using models with implants or else quit ranting about Athletes and Steroids.

Video Gary Mathews Steals Home Video and Other Stealing Home Videos

Tweet This Post To a Friend Click Here

I loved baseball when I was a kid but I stopped following the sport 25 years ago as it totally bores me and I hate all the phony show biz curtain call BS. Having said that, I’ve never seen a complete no hitter or someone steal home till this year thanks to the internet. The above picture is Stealing Home Old School by Ty Cobb! Actually when I was a kid I remember watching Jim Bunning pitch against the New York Mets on Father’s Day June 21 1964 on TV and like an idiot went out after the 5th inning to go to an amusement park never thinking he’d pitch a perfect game on Father’s Day. As much as baseball bores me, I have to admit that solo steals of home plate are totally exciting though I don’t quite understand the logic of stealing home other than giving your team a sudden spark. After all a run is a run and a three point shot is worth more than a dunk- whoops wrong sport!

Here is video of the latest steal of home by the Los Angeles Angels Gary Mathews Jr. which even I admit was awesome.

Click to this Link to See the Gary Matthews Jr. Steals Home Video Video

Here are some other cool Major League Baseball Solo Steals of home that I think you’ll enjoy.

Toronto Blue Jays Aaron Hill Steals Home 2007 Against New York Yankees Andy Pettitte (If you’re impatient forward to 2:10)

Boston Red Sox Jacoby Ellsbury Steals Home 2009 Also Against NY Yankees Andy Pettitte

Here’s a link to Jacoby Ellsbury stealing home against the New York Yankees also against Andy Pettitte. I can not believe how big a lead he had. Totally amazing play which seemed to change the whole momentum of the game. Click to this Link to See the Video

Almost makes me want to take me out to the ballgame. Nah, I’d still rather watch College Basketball and the NFL. Note this blog updates a previous blog I did on stealing home.

XP Computer Will Run Faster Immediately Easy Step by Step Free Guide (Repost)

Tweet This Post To a Friend Click Here

Whether you just bought a computer with an Windows XP Operating System or have had it a while, here are some simple tweaks that will get your XP Computer to run faster that anyone with basic computer knowledge can do. Note this is what I’ve done for my XP Computer, I am not familiar with Windows Vista and personally prefer XP because its always been reliable to me. If you have any system other than XP I would not recommend doing any of the service changes I’ve listed. Do Not Make any changes to your computer unless you have at least one software program which corrects registry errors. These are fairly cheap. You’ll read about them in the following section:

Windows XP Start-Up

When you buy a new computer, all programs are running in the background which slows your computer up immensely. You only need a few programs to run in your computers background from start up. Some of you who have had your computers a while may not be aware of all the programs that are running unnecessarily in your computers background and slowing your computer down. The first thing I would do if I were you if you still have free technical help from your computer manufacturer, is to call them up and ask them what programs you need to have running in the background. You can see what programs are currently running on your XP computer’s background by clicking Run and typing the word MSCONFIG, clicking enter and then looking under “StartUp” the second column on the right. The more things that are checked the slower your computer will run because these programs are running in the background and taking up memory. I personally recommend you only have your anti-virus program checked and the router for an XP laptop checked if you are using a laptop (You don’t have to have this checked on your desktop unless it uses a router). If there are other programs you want running immediately when the computer is on, you can tell by looking at the icons on the right corner on the bottom of your computer screen by the clock. Note these icons are currently running and if you don’t want them running and taking up memory, just uncheck them in the startup on MSCONFIG. Write down any changes you made in the start-up in case you want to change them back later. Now click Apply and restart your computer.

After the computer restarts, before you do anything, your computers registry will have changed and you should use one to three software registry programs to correct any changes. Here are the 3 programs I use to correct registry errors. You can get by with using just one but I’m a bit paranoid. I’d also run these programs every time you install or delete a computer program as registry errors will likely result that need to be corrected or your computer may be effected.

1. (TuneUp Utilities) 1-Click Maintenance quickly cleans up your registry and hard drive with one click. 1-Click Maintenance is part of this software and is the basic application I use from it.

2. Advanced Registry Optimizer cleans, repairs and optimizies your PC Registry. Errors in your registry accumulate over time and can lead to crashes, reduced performance and unwanted slow-downs. By downloading and frequently using a top-rated registry cleaner like Advanced Registry Optimizer, you can stabilize your system’s performance quickly and easily.

3. (PC Tools)Registry Mechanic is an advanced registry cleaner for that can safely clean and repair problems with your registry in a few simple mouse clicks! Easily fix problems with the Windows registry that are a common cause of crashes and error messages. I find this compliments Registry Optimizer and I recommend both.

You need to have at least one good registry repair software. I have 3 because I’m a bit paranoid and don’t want to leave anything to chance. I’d recommend if you just want one to use Advanced Registry Optimizer.

OK, after you used your registry software, just play around with your computer for the next hour or so and see if you’ve noticed it running faster. Once your content that your computer is running at least as fast as before, now its time to take it to step two:

Disabling Unnecessary Computer Services to Make Your Computer Run Even More Faster

Before you proceed further, please make sure your System Restore Application is Running and that you write down any changes that you make and keep a record this record of changes with you- In other words don’t throw it out! Go to your control panel, Click open Administrative Tools and then click Component Services and then click Local Services. Here are Services that I disabled by myself. By disabled, I mean that the word “STARTED” was originally in the Status Window and is now blank if it is disabled. The way to Disable a service that is marked by the word “STARTED” is to right click the Service and then Click Properties and then click Stop under Service Status. Do Not Do Anything Right Now!

OK here are the Services I recommend that should be Disabled, Again meaning the Word Started is not listed in the third panel under Status. In plain English, if there is a blank spot already under Status for the following Services, that’s fine, DO NOTHING, you don’t want to change it. I followed the changes listed on this website, www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1036/windows-xp-list-of-services-to-disable-to-increase-speed, feel free to Click Here If you want More Detail

1. Smart Card / Smart Card Helper - If you don’t have a smart card system Disable

2. TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper service - Unless you run NetBIOS on your system, disable. If you don’t know what this is, you probably don’t run it.

3. Uninterruptible Power Supply - Disable unless you have Uninterruptible Power Supply

4. Remote Registry service - Unless you remotely edit your register, disable. Gives you better security to disabled.

5. Error Reporting Service - This program helps Microsoft. If you don’t want to help them, disable it.

6. Wireless Zero Configuration - If you don’t use Wi-Fi, Disable. But if you ever do use Wi-Fi, Enable.

7. Alerter - Disable

8. Clipbook - Disable unless you want to use it for a private network.

9. Computer Browser - If you are on a LAN, keep it enabled. If not, disable.

10. FastUser Switching Compatibility - Disable only if you don’t use multiple user/logins and always log in the same as the same person.

11. Messenger Service -Disable

12. NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing Service - Disable unless you use NetMeeting.

13. Network DDE - Disable

14. Network DDE DSDM - Disable

15. Remote Desktop Help Session Manager Service - Unless you use remote desktop, disable.

16. Telnet Service - Unless you use Telnet, disable.

OK, after you’ve recorded the changes you made, restart your computer. Once your computer is restarted, run your registry repair software again.

Adding New Programs or Deleting Programs and Windows Updates

Whether you get one registry repair program or more (See Above), you should definitely run it every time there is a change on your computer from a installing a new program, deleting a program, browser update, windows update, or you’re updating a new program, to avoid any problems caused which can affect your computer and slow it down.

If you disagree with anything I’ve written, feel free to comment, I won’t be offended and may even revise this post. If you have any other suggestions to tweak an XP computer to run faster, please feel free to comment.

I always though that it was my imagination that bottled soda tastes better to me than canned soda, its more refreshing in my opinion and out curiosity I just researched this on the internet, and it looks like this is not my imagination after all: People seem to prefer Bottled Soda over Canned Soda. I actually like Diet Coke in a bottle but can’t stand the taste of it in a can. For the purpose of this article I am talking about Plastic Bottled Soda not Glass Bottled. Yes I know the photo is Glass Soda but the chick is hot!

Here are some of the reasons that people attribute Canned Soda Tasting differently from Bottled Soda,
which may or may not be true- sorry I couldn’t find any definite answers:

1. Canned Soda is Less Carbonated.

2. Canned Soda tastes metallic.

3. The soda formulas for canned and bottled sodas are different.

4. The aluminum in cans alters the taste of soda.

5. Metal from a can makes soda go flatter faster.

6. I found this answer on a Website called Answerbag by someone with the Screen Name ReverendDoctor and I quote “aluminum cans are produced in a stamping process which uses a food-grade stamping lubricant. being food-grade, this oil is safe and non-toxic, so it is not cleaned off of the cans before filling with soda. If you look at the surface of the liquid in your soda can after opening it, you will notice an “oil slick” type rainbow effect on top. this is the oil residue from the manufacturing process. Plastic bottles are manufactured through a blow molding process, and therefore do not contain the stamping oil.”

People seem to prefer the taste of glass bottled soda to plastic bottled soda and the taste of smaller bottles of soda to larger bottles of soda because carbonated water is better preserved in smaller bottles. Almost everyone seems to prefer the taste of fountain soda to canned or bottled soda with the key difference being the water.

The best answer I saw online is Canned and Bottled Soda tastes different for “the same reason why food tasted better when you eat it with your hands than a fork”!

Life After Death More Important Then Exploring Outer Space?

I think the United States Should Use Money Set Aside for the Space Program to prove or not prove if Life After Death exists and if it does to solve mysteries like who killed Kennedy, Who Killed Bobby Fuller, Who Killed Jon Benet Ramsey, etc., as well as to use the knowledge of famous dead people like Albert Einstein to make life better. Knowing life after death exists might deter murder suicides because payback could be a bitch on the other side by dead people wanting revenge. Alternatively, if Life After Death doesn’t exist, people may live their life differently striving to reach their full potential. One way or the other, officially knowing if Life After Death exists would change our lifestyles. I think it would definitely be more beneficial than either exploring lifeless planets or alerting Outer Space Aliens of our Existence so they can invade Earth!

How exactly would we find out if their was Life After Earth? I propose that somewhat like the Keifer Sutherland movie “Sleepers” we would find ways to temporarily render a person dead and revive them but for longer periods of time and somehow have some electrodes attached to them that would display images and hopefully eventually audio of what they’re experiencing. I’m obviously not a scientist but I believe a huge amount of time and money would eventually allow us to do this. If somehow life after death does exist we would then find out where, how to contact dead people-”take me to the dead people’s leader”, etc. Who know we might also be able to contact Dead Roswell Aliens!

If you think I’m an idiot, that’s cool, maybe I am, but wouldn’t you want to know if life after death exists? To me that’s better then finding out that Mars consists of Rocks or that we made an Alien Race Aware of us and they want to Kick Our Ass, just because they can? Who knows maybe we could see Buddy Holly, George Harrison and John Lennon form a band and eventually watch their concerts. The possibilities are endless if Life After Death exists.

Laptop Protection Taking Care of Your Laptop

Laptops, regardless of the reason you buy them, are very important, not only because of their monetary value but because of the data that is stored on them. Furthermore, if your laptop stops functioning properly, then the time it spends in the repair shop will be time that you can’t spend doing your work, studying or whatever it was you used the laptop for.

Here are some tips to help you keep your laptop in the best shape possible, year after year:

1. Vent Cleaning: The vents on your laptop need to be looked at every week to make sure there is nothing blocking them or impeding their performance. You can buy a can of air at a local store and use this to clean them out, as it is best not to poke anything in them.

2. Fan Functioning: A malfunction in the fan can lead to your laptop overheating, so make sure that your fan is working properly. Check the website of the company that made the laptop and look for software that will help you determine if the fan is working correctly.

3. Surface: Try and use a hard surface to keep your laptop on, and avoid both your lap and pillows as this will reduce the airflow to the fans and vents, causing the laptop to heat up.

4. Storage: Buy a good quality laptop bag or sleeve and store the laptop in this every time you turn it off. This will stop dust from getting into the laptop, as well as protect it from spills, or bumps. Make sure you only store the laptop when it is completely shut down, as putting it in a bag when it is on could make it overheat.

5. Liquids: Keep all liquids away from your laptop at all times. If you are in the habit of drinking water while working, make sure the bottle is covered at all times. If possible keep the water bottle on a different table to avoid mishaps.

6. Shocks: Make sure the laptop is well protected when you move it around, and always move it gently to avoid jarring it and breaking something.

7. Humidity: Protect your laptop from humidity at all times. It can cause damage to the motherboard and the screen. Don’t use your laptop when at the beach, or outside when the weather is humid.

8. Dust: Always protect your laptop from dust. Keep it away from open windows, put it in a storage sleeve when not in use, and every week clean the screen and keyboard with a soft cloth to remove dust.

9. Floor: Never put your laptop on the floor for storage, as someone is undoubtedly going to step on it or put something on it, damaging it permanently.

10. Surge Protectors: Always use a surge protector when charging your laptop to protect the battery.

These few tips should keep your laptop in good condition for years to come and enable you to get great performance from it. This article incorporates “How do I keep my Laptop in Good Condition?” by Debra Brian Hunt with permission to republish
