Nugget:Using an ultimatum to get that sought after wedding ring is like committing relationship suicide. If you feel the need to present your boyfriend with an ultimatum concerning your relationship, it MUST be authentic!
What it means:When it comes to women who so badly want to be engaged to their boyfriend, ultimatums are a commonplace. The waiting game drives desperation (especially if she has been waiting for more than a year or two to get engaged) and desperation can lead to threats!
Yes, ultimatum is just a fancy word for “threat”. Women who throw marriage ultimatums at their boyfriends obviously don’t realize that this kind of pressure and “all or nothing” attitude commonly results in the demise of the relationship.
When is an ultimatum acceptable? Only when you are ready to deal with the truth and act on the response! If you give your boyfriend a “now or never” lecture, you best be prepared to pack your bags and leave if he comes back with a “never” response. Staying in a relationship after he says “never” will only result in your losing all credibility and leverage in the relationship.
Bottom Line:Only give an ultimatum if you’re ready to hear the truth and are willing to act on it, whatever the response may be.
NOTE: You can link to the GGR video using the angle of “Here’s a much better way to get him to pop the question WITHOUT using threats and dangerous ultimatums.”
save on gas
Don't speed. Jim Davidson, author of 75 Ways to Save Gas, says drivers should keep their speed between 50 and 80 km/h whenever possible and avoid driving faster than 93 km/h. "Every 10 km over 93 km/h is 10 per cent fuel loss," he said.
Drive safely. Aggressive drivers tend to use more gas because they usually need to slow down and speed up repeatedly in order to avoid catastrophe.
Monitor your tire pressure. Davidson suggests driving with a tire pressure gauge and checking pressure regularly. Under-inflated tires cause drivers to use more gas because the car becomes difficult to accelerate.
Service your car regularly.
Change your tires seasonally. The increased grip and traction on winter tires means cars use more gas, so it's best to switch to a different set of tires in the warmer months. All-season tires tend not to work as well in snowy conditions.
