Hey, folks – Max Bedroom here.
I hate life hacks. Use egg cartons to store Christmas ornaments. Use a coffee can to store the ashes of deceased friends and relatives (and enemies). Use your wife’s toothbrush to clean the bathtub. You know what I’m talking about. It’s just people who think they’re smarter than the rest of us giving advice that no one will follow.
To counter this slew of DIY dum-dums, I’m introducing Max’s Radical Life Lessons. These are practical things that you can start doing today to make your life better. No frills. No leftover household items. Just sound advice that will help you on your journey.
Here’s the first Radical Life Lesson:
I’ve seen too many movies where a family buys a house that was way too cheap and soon realizes it’s haunted. Instead of just getting the hell out of there, they try to ignore what’s happening, call in some experts from the local university, and then eventually find religion and bring in a priest. While this is happening, members of the family are being tormented and tortured by the entities in the house. Stop. I don’t care about your down payment. I don’t care about your mortgage or the monthly payments. I don’t care that you’ve moved to the country to make a fresh start for you and your family. And I certainly don’t care about the first draft of your novel. Stop.
If you suspect that your house is haunted, then move. Don’t discuss it. Don’t try to get rid of the ghost. They never really go away. Just move. Move, move, move!
