1. Keep some cash in the house. For years, I badgered my husband to get cash so we had cash in the house. Finally, light dawned: Why did I get to decide that this was his problem? Now I get cash when we need a reserve, and I feel much better.

2. Never let your car’s gas level fall into the “empty” zone. Special note to my fellow under-buyers: if you can afford it, fill the tank! Save yourself from having to return to the gas station in two days.

3. Have an over-the-counter pain reliever at hand at all times.

4. Put your keys away in the same place every day. This sounds so easy — and it is. It will make you so happy.

5. Turn out the light as soon as you’re sleepy. Since I started my happiness project, I’ve become a sleep nut. Getting enough sleep makes a huge difference in my sense of energy and cheerfulness.

6. Walk around the block.

7. Take ten minutes before bed to tidy up.

8. If you have to pack a lunch for anyone, get it ready the night before.

9. Have at least one good friend who lives in the neighborhood.

10. Make your bed. This sounds trivial, I know — but try it, it really helps!

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill will play host to some of music’s biggest stars at tonight’s Nashville Rising concert for flood relief.

Miranda Lambert will be a Spring 2011 bride, but that’s the only thing she has planned for her wedding to Blake Shelton.

Justin Moore is avoiding the sophomore slump by taking his time to record his second album. He says, “It’s tough because everybody tells you you’ve got your whole life to make your first album and then it’s difficult to find songs for you.

Brad Paisley has posted a special request on his website asking fans to pray for his friend, Olympic skating champion Scott Hamilton.

A recent survey asked women what they thought about dating a “bad boy.” 72 percent said “Exciting!” while 28 percent thought it was overrated. So, being a bad boy still has its advantages! True ladies? What does it take for you to think a guy is a “bad boy?” Does he have a better chance with you, at least for sex? Do guys like women they think are “bad girls?”

According to a survey of 1000 Americans, almost two-thirds believe that life exists on other planets, and 90% say if we receive a message from another planet we should reply.

Men grocery shopping. There was a blurb in the prep about that and how guys aren’t very good at it. That prompted women to call in and give examples… usually along the lines of, “he gets what he wants, not what we need.” Apparently that’s a common guy tendancy. For instance, when he helps with the laundry, he does his stuff first.

About a million cell phones are dropped in toilets each year and that seemed high to me, but have you ever?

* Dress for the heat. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing. Light colors will reflect away some of the sun’s energy. Wearing a hat is also a good idea, or use an umbrella.

* Drink plenty of water. Carry water or juice with you and drink continuously even if you do not feel thirsty. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, which dehydrate the body.

* Eat small meals and eat more often. Avoid high-protein foods.

* Slow down. Avoid strenuous activity as much as possible. If you must do strenuous activity, do it during the coolest part of the day.

* Stay indoors when possible. If air-conditioning is not available, stay on the lowest floor out of the sunshine.

* Be a good neighbor. During heat waves, check in on elderly residents in your neighborhood and those who do not have air conditioning.
