Exciting News From Daytipper
New Incentives for Daytipper Contributors
We've listened to our users and have heard that you would like your submitted tips published more quickly. To this end, we're pleased to announce some exciting new changes to the Daytipper website. As of September 1 2008, we will be offering cash prizes of $100, $75, and $50 to the top three authors with the most useful and popular tips in a given month.
At the same time, we will be ceasing our current policy of paying per tip. This new policy will allow us to publish much more content, and grow the online community even more quickly.
Was your tip accepted before September 1, 2008?
Don't worry! We will honor all payments to you once we publish your tip to our site, as promised.
Also, the newsletter has returned and will be delivered into your inbox every Tuesday and Thursday.
Thank you for being a valued Daytipper contributor and visitor. We hope you are as excited about these changes as we are. Let us know what you think.

I wish all rejected tips were this hilarious...
Do you have sweaty hands? If so, Lance has a perfect solution!
"The solution is weird, but it works! During your first piss of the day, pee a bit on your hands, rub together, and then rinse off afterwards. Sounds gross, but it works!"
Someone out there willing to try this and report back?

Vishal is also trying to scam eBay...
His tip says...
"If you are selling on e bay or similar site...then just tell one of your friend to bid simultaneously on higher rates...this will prompt other bidders to bid on even high rates...and you will earn more...if your friend gets the item on bidding no need to worry you can put it up again...and if someone other then the buck you are...the other way is to make a second account and then bid from it...this will not require any friend's consent...go make bucks."
I'm not saying this kind of thing doesn't happen. However, this practice is certainly unlawful and Daytipper isn't into promoting advice that is illicit. This tip was rejected for obvious reasons.

A cure for the common cold? I think not. REJECTED!
Here is Vishal's suggestion on how you can fight the common cold...
This is a sure shot tip... If you want to fight chilly cold...then just take edible oil on your palm and apply it on navel region on your stomach such that it covers the navel.

Another witches brew rejected tip...
It's not uncommon to get what I call 'witches brew' tips. These tips recommend creating elixirs and potions, all with the intention of curing some ailment. While it's possible I've turned down some brilliant concoctions, I typically error on the side of caution. I'm looking out for you people. :) Here are two good example of what I'm talking about...
How to improve your eye sight
Take a mouthful of cold water and gargle five times a day and try spitting it as far as you can. Sprinkle cold water near your eyes on the face thrice. Massage the bottom of your feet with warm oil and walk barefooted early in the morning on grass turf.
Home remedy for yeast infection
As everyone knows you can prevent a yeast infection by eating yogurt. But once you get one you can treat it quickly by applying honey to the area and leave it on for a few minutes and then rinse it off. The live cultures in the honey will kill the infection.

Keep Your Pets Comfortable
Often thought of as an additional family member, the household pet can bring unadulterated love into any home. That means you have to do you part to keep little Lucky or Fido happy! Here are few top tips:
Keep Their Water Cold: Summer is rapidly approaching and the temperature is already rising. Help keep your pet cool and hydrated by making sure you always have a plentiful supply of drinking water available.
TIP: Fill empty plastic margarine bowls with water and freeze. Remove the block of ice and refill for next time. I use the 1 lb size margarine tub for my 2 dog's water bowl but the half lb tub would be good for a smaller water dish for one pet.
Summer is also a popular time for people to move and/or relocated. Don't underestimate the effect this can have on your pet.
TIP: If you are moving to a new house or are getting a new cat this is a great hint for making your cat feel at home quickly. Rub a cloth around the cat's mouth and ears, where scent glands are, then rub this cloth on the walls, floor and furniture in the new house. Humans can't smell it but your cat can- they'll feel relaxed as it's marked out as their territory.
One issue many cat owners face is to claw or declaw. There are two schools of though: have nice stuff/be inhumane OR deal with a frayed couch/be humane. Thankfully, there's now a way to reduce the impact of your cat's claws without removing them.
TIP: If your cat scratches you, your furniture or your small children to the point where you are thinking of having it declawed, save your money and spare the cat a painful operation. Use glue-on claw covers, available online or through vets. They're made of vinyl or plastic, and the cat usually doesn't mind them. You may need the vet to help you put them on, and they will have to be reapplied eventually.

Gas Saving Tips
Summer is around the corner and even a slumping economy will not keep travelers off the road. Here's how to get the most miles per gallon possible:
1) Roll up the windows. When air flows into the car, it causes resistance - in turn - producing a drag that will reduce gas mileage by 10%.
2) AM/PM. When filling your tank, try to do so early in the morning or late at night. Your goal is to do it at the coolest time of the day. Cooler temperatures mean denser gas, and that means you're getting more mileage for your money.
3) Humpday. Buy on a Wednesday. I don't care what anyone says, these gas guys jack up the prices late in the week to bang us into the weekend. Once sales slow down in the middle of the week, they need to compete for your business by dropping down prices.
