Hamsters need to be fed a good variety food, as well as the occasional treat. Commercial brand hamster foods, such as Hazel Hamster (Harry Hamster in the UK), are ideal. Because hamsters are hoarders, give a small quantity that you can be reasonably confident the hamster will eat quickly and not try to stash away.  Make sure the nutritional values are: 17-22% protein, 4-6% fat, and 8-10% fiber. Some experts believe most hamster mixes are a little too low in protein to be perfectly balanced for the average Syrian hamster.[citation needed] It is a good idea to give your hamster the odd treat of hard boiled egg or cheese, cat food, or mealworms. Small bits of cooked chicken or scrambled egg are good sources of protein and may be given daily. If the hamster does not take any excess treats away to eat later within 24 hours time, remove any uneaten goodies. For instance, never give your hamster seeds with husks. The sharp pointed seed husks may hurt the delicate lining of the cheek pouch. Also avoid giving foods with a high moisture content (cucumber or lettuce), since these are liable to have a laxative effect on the hamster's digestive system. Make this available at all times. A sipper bottle is ideal since this doesn't get contaminated with bedding or food in the same way a bowl does. Make sure to check the water level every day, so that your hamster never gets dehydrated.  Wash the inside with a bottle brush. It may look clean, but the inside of the bottle will become coated with harmful bacteria. Use a hamster approved water bottle. Filtered water is best, but tap is fine - as long as you dechlorinate the water, either by using dechlorination liquid/tablets or by leaving the water out in the open over night. This prevents your hamster from having to chew on its cage bars and potentially damaging his or her teeth, and it prevents the teeth from becoming overgrown. To reduce the risk of teeth overgrowing, give your hamster dog biscuits, dry whole wheat macaroni, or wood from orchard trees, such as apple, pear,...

Choose appropriate foods and treats for your Syrian hamster. Avoid feeding your hamster foods that are not good for it. Provide the hamster with clean, fresh drinking water. Provide chews to help file down the hamster's teeth.


Hamsters often have a few mites hitching a ride, and they can easily be eliminated if they become an issue.  However, stress, malnutrition, or advanced age may lead to a weakened immune system and less resistance to mites. If you’re hamster starts scratching heavily or has visible patches of irritation, balding or redness, take them to the vet and ask them to examine your hamster for mites. Recognize the possible signs of a mite infestations – especially irritated patches of skin – and get them to the vet quickly.  Another sign to watch for is your hamster rubbing itself against the sides of its cage. Depending on the type of mites involved, your vet may recommend a selenium sulfide shampoo or other topical treatment to kill the mites.  With other types of mites, your vet may prescribe a medication such as ivermectin. Follow your vet’s directions about any specific treatment regimen. The only way you or your vet can be certain about a particular mite infestation is by taking a small scraping of your hamster’s skin and examining it under a microscope. More specifically, do not return your hamsters to their cage before cleaning the cage first. The cage may still contain mites and mite eggs that will quickly infect your hamster again. Further, if you have other hamsters, consider ensuring that they are not infested by taking them to the vet as well. If you do not have one, get a ball in which your hamster can roll about while you’re cleaning its cage, etc.

Have a vet diagnose a mite infestation as soon as possible. Follow your vet’s recommendation regarding treatment. Keep any hamsters undergoing treatment in a temporary cage.


Hamsters reach sexual maturity as young as 6 weeks old, though it is not advisable to let them mate at this age. A female should be at least 8 - 10 weeks old before mating, and males 10 -12 weeks old. Once a hamster reaches 12 months of age, it should no longer be bred, as health risks skyrocket. The average hamster lifespan is 18 - 24 months. Hamster pregnancies are very short, lasting just 15 - 18 days. When you know your female is expecting, look for the following signs that she's preparing to give birth:  Restlessness without getting time for exercise Nest-building behavior Very angry behavior and irritable Conscientious grooming Squeaking and scratching Eating and drinking more than usual When you see the signs that the mother is close to giving birth, make sure the babies have an adequate cage to be born into. The cage should be cleaned and prepared before birth, but not too close to the mother's due date. It is important not to disturb the mother in the last few days of pregnancy, as it raises the odds of her cannibalizing the babies.  A few days before her due date, put her in a clean cage by herself and leave her undisturbed. If you don't know exactly how far along she is, isolate her when you notice her belly swelling.  Remove toys from the cage. The mum might hurt or kill the babies if toys get in the way. Don't use cotton wool or other materials that could form strands on the cage floor, as they could tangle around the babies. Also avoid straw, as the sharp ends could hurt them.  Safer alternatives include aspen, paper flakes, Carefresh, or wood fiber pulp. Provide the mother with nesting material - something warm she mother can burrow into. Recommended materials include un-dyed tissue paper, toilet paper, or kitchen paper. From 2 days before the due-date to 10 days after birth, do not change anything in the cage or handle the mother. When the mother is almost ready to give birth, she will build a breeding nest. Thus, there is no need for you to add any extra housing or move the babies to a...

Hand reflexology for weight loss is ideal for people on the go or for those times when it is not possible for you to remove your shoes and socks to give yourself foot reflexology. Refer to the hand chart to locate the key reflex points on your hands that help facilitate weight loss. Locate the exact pressure points on the hand chart for your: spleen (below your little finger on your left hand), digestive organs (below the lung and breast area on both hands), gall bladder (the pad under the little finger on your right hand) and key endocrine glands (middle and base of your thumbs on both hands). Press deeply, but not so deeply that you feel pain. You will also need to hold the pressure for longer than you would on your foot. Use a single finger or your thumb to apply pressure. Move as if you are pressing pins into a pincushion, and maintain permanent contact with your skin. The reflexes in your hands are located in a much smaller area than on your feet, so work slowly and methodically over all the appropriate areas.

Handbell music has its own special markings and directions that you will never see on other music. For instance, instead of trilling, handbells "shake" (usually indicated by the letters Sk on the music). This is exactly what it sounds like; instead of just playing the note, letting it ring, and damping it, you shake the bell for the notated length of time. There are also markings that tell you to damp in certain ways; for instance, damping on the table, or purposely bringing the bell to the table with force as to create a certain sound. This technique makes it much easier to play more than two bells at once. To do this, put two bells together through their handles in a way that they are all facing a different direction. You will want two or three bells in each hand. You will discover that you can move your arm one way to play one of the notes in that hand and a different way to play the other one. Obviously, this is easier with smaller bells. Sometimes this is written into the music, and other times it is a decision made by the director. To pluck, lay the bells down on the table as you normally would, and lift up the clappers and gently drop them, instead of ringing. To do this, lay the bells down on the padded table (in keyboard order, of course), and gently tap them with mallets instead of playing. Be aware that you do need to use special mallets intended for handbells. Smaller ones are for smaller bells, and larger ones are for larger bells. Often, the range of bells a particular size of mallet is used for will be marked somewhere on the handle. There are many different ways to do this. Some soloists set up a table with an octave or two of handbells and play all of them, usually with some kind of accompaniment. Others play simple melodies four- or six-in-hand. It's all up to you.

Once you have mastered basic handbell playing fundamentals, move on to more advanced techniques. Learn to play bells four- and six-in-hand. Try plucking the bells. Try playing with mallets. Venture into the art of solo handbells.


Handle each piece with your fingertips to avoid transferring your hand’s oils to the clarinet’s wood. Take caution not to bend the keys while taking the clarinet apart. Place each piece in a safe place where it will not be damaged. Put the rest of the clarinet in a safe place that is not too hot or too cold. Don't stand it on its end unless you have a clarinet stand (it holds your clarinet upright, and can usually be folded and stored in the bell). Polishing with a microfiber cloth will keep the acids and oils from damaging the instrument.  Carefully place the cloth back in your case. Don't use any kind of metal polish or other substance on your instrument, except for key oil and cork grease. Pay close attention to the tone holes that your fingers cover as they often collect gunk and grime from your fingers. An unclean mouthpiece can become unsanitary and negatively affect your health if ignored for too long. An unclean mouthpiece could also shrink, negatively affecting the instrument's tone. Using your brush and warm water, gently remove buildup from the mouthpiece, drying it with your microfiber cloth. In order to remove moisture from inside your clarinet, use your swab and drop the cloth's weight and string through the clarinet from the bell to the mouthpiece and pull it through. If your cloth gets stuck pull harder , don’t worry it won’t ruin your clarinet. You may have to do this several times. Take the pieces apart and dry the tenons (these are the places where the joints of the horn fit together). Then, let the swab dry before putting it in the case, otherwise your keys will be discolored. After cleaning, always return the clarinet to its case in order to protect it from damage. Avoid keeping anything other than your clarinet in the case, for things like papers and pencils can damage the wood once the case is closed. Once your clarinet is safe at home, keep the lid of the case open for an hour to allow the clarinet to dry naturally. If your case is not big enough to hold all of your cleaning supplies,...

Handle peppers with gloves to protect your skin and eyes from irritation. Pods that are young, firm, and crisp will result in the best pickled chiles. Any peppers with brown or soft spots can be thrown away. Whenever you handle chile peppers with your bare hands, be sure to wash them in warm soapy water immediately afterward to remove chile oil. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Use tongs to submerge your jar(s) in the water for at least 10 minutes. To protect your lid(s) from deforming, sterilize lids with water that is nearly or lightly boiling for the same amount of time. Rinse your pressure canner with clean water. Insert the rack plate in the canner’s bottom. Fill the canner with about 4 in (10.2 cm) of water, or to the point indicated in the canner’s user manual. Heat the canner over low heat with the lid off.  Some pressure canners may need to be adjusted according to altitude. Check your pressure canner’s instructions to determine its correct.  Always follow the manual directions for your pressure canner. Some brands may have special procedures. Improper usage to result in damage or ruined peppers. If you cannot find the directions for your canner, look for a digital manual online with a keyword search for your canner’s make and model. Small peppers can be pickled whole. Simply slice the pepper lengthwise and remove the seeds. Large peppers should be quartered with a knife. Remove the core of large chiles and most of the seeds. If you like your peppers spicy, leave a few seeds behind. Save a few seeds for later and add these to the pickling mixture for spicier pickles. If your chiles have thick skin it will toughen when pickled. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and lay the peppers in the pan. After a few minutes, turn the peppers. When the skin begins to darken and bubble, it will be easier to pull free with your hands. Rinse the peppers after the skin is removed.  Use a knife, vegetable peeler, or a similar tool to scrape away the skin on chiles. Tools like these are especially useful for...

Handling dry ice is dangerous due to its extremely cold temperatures that can lead to frostbite and tissue injury. The carbon dioxide vapors in an unventilated area are also toxic. If prolonged contact with dry ice occurs, do not rub the affected area. Remove clothing that is not frozen to the skin and place the affected area in a warm water bath. Avoid direct dry heat. Proper protection is essential while handling dry ice. The best protection is to cover all of the surfaces of your body that could be exposed. Gloves and goggles are extremely important to protect your hands and eyes from injury. Never handle dry ice directly with your bare hands. If possible, use metal tongs when transferring chunks of dry ice to new locations. If you do not have tongs available, wear an oven mitt or towel while handling the dry ice. Metal tongs with serrated edges work best. If you purchased a block of dry ice and need smaller pieces, use caution while chiseling them off. Break off pieces of the ice by setting a chisel to the desired point, and tapping it lightly with a mallet. Always wear eye protection while chiseling to prevent chips from flying into your eyes. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. As it warms, it sublimates (turns directly from a solid to gas, skipping the liquid phase) into its gaseous form. Exposure to large amounts of gaseous carbon dioxide is hazardous to your health and can cause you to lose consciousness or suffocate.  Working in a room with good ventilation or an open window can prevent a dangerous buildup of gas and keep you safe. Symptoms of excessive carbon dioxide inhalation include dizziness, headache, and increased heart rate. Dry ice sublimates relatively quickly, but its shelf life can be extended by storing it an insulated container such as a Styrofoam cooler. Make sure the container is not airtight to prevent the buildup of carbon dioxide gas. Too much gas in an airtight container can lead to an explosion. The warmer the dry ice gets, the faster it sublimates. To dispose of it, you can...

Handling for crab is a lot easier than the other methods in this article and there are fewer things you need. Basically, all you need is a dip net, a line or string long enough to reach the bottom of the water, and bait.  You can handline from a boat or off a dock, so you'll need to consider that when you get your line. Sometimes you have to weight the end of your line so that it sinks to the bottom. For bait, chicken necks, eel, or fish work well. Just attach a piece to your line before you sink it. You'll want to tie the line down and wait a bit so that the crabs have a chance to find the bait and get attached. You'll feel when the crab has crabbed onto the bait. You don't want to spook the crab so that it lets go. The bigger the crab the more likely it will be to spook and drop off, so go carefully. When it gets near the surface, scoop it up in your net. Pay attention to whether there is a current or tide, make sure that you place the net so that if the crab lets go it'll end up in your net and not swept away. Make sure that you have ice in there so that the crab gets sluggish and easier to manage. Avoid picking them up with your bare hands. Kitchen tongs or specialized crab tongs work find here.

Collect your equipment. Tie the line down. Draw the line up slowly. Put the crab in a cooler.


Handwriting your letter is more personal, so you may prefer to do that. However, you might decide to type your letter if your handwriting isn’t neat or you prefer writing on a computer. Both options will work great for your letter of appreciation. Typing your letter might work best if you’re emailing your letter to your teacher. Your teacher is in a position of authority, so you want to show them respect in your letter. A formal tone helps you do that. Don’t use slang or text-speak in your letter.  For instance, you’d write “Dear Ms. Miller” instead of “Hey Debbie!” It’s okay to use contractions in an appreciation letter. Additionally, you can still use “you” and “I.” Your appreciation letter will likely be very short, and that’s okay. Don’t use more words than necessary to explain how you feel. Expect to write 2-3 short paragraphs. Each paragraph should be 2-4 sentences long. Read over your letter to make sure you haven’t made any errors. Look for missing words, misspellings, and grammatical errors. If you find any errors, fix them before you give the letter to your teacher. If you’re not good at grammar, ask someone to help you. Also, don’t worry too much about making mistakes. Your teacher will appreciate the thought.

Handwritten apologies are the best non-verbal way to apologize. The length and tone of your message will depend largely on the severity and cause of the message. Forgetting a birthday is a far different matter than abuse or infidelity, for example. What is important, however, is that you write from the heart. Do away with the pretence of formal letter writing; write what you're feeling, and let the girl know you are sorry within the first two sentences.  Including a heart at the bottom denotes warmth and may be appropriate if you're in a romantic relationship with the girl. Writing it by hand is important in this case. An apology letter is nothing if it isn't backed by a personal touch and vulnerability. It's much easier to mask emotions over a computer. However, for small matters a quick email or instant message can work as well. If you've done something to hurt the girl's feelings, doing something to make her feel good in consequence is a good way to make up for past faults. The way you go about making up to her is as potentially diverse and unique as the relationship itself. If you can think of some things the girl is interested in, you should think of those as potential opportunities to set things right. If you can't think of anything specific, there are few women out there who don't appreciate having back massages or dinner being made for them. It doesn't need to be anything too elaborate; a simple gesture can say a lot about the way someone is feeling. A more formal way of apologizing to a woman could take the shape of a donation in their name. Although this probably only suits less severe or personal issues, an apology can in fact have greater weight when a dollar sign is attached to it. Of course, giving someone money would make it feel like a dirty bribe, so making a donation to a charity will carry the good intention without any of the foul undertones. Donations, however small, should be accompanied with a specific statement why you're making it. Explain to the girl that you're making this donation...

Hang out with your ex on small social outings. At first, keep hang outs short and modest - a trip to a cafe or an art museum, for instance. Keep a full schedule (or at least pretend to.) If things get awkward, you can always use the excuse that you're running late for something else to get out of there!   Definitely  don't do anything together that can be construed as a date. Don't stay out late, drink alcohol, or go dancing. You could find yourself falling for each other again, and if you haven't fixed the things that led to your breakup, you'll be setting yourself up for future heartbreak. Worse, you could ruin any new romances either of you has started with other people. Your ex might be confused about your intentions if you're not perfectly clear with him about what you want. Simply say, "I hope we can still be friends" or ask the question "We're still friends, right?"  Don't  leave this issue unaddressed - if you're vague about what you want from your new relationship, he might think you're trying to get back together with him. Spare yourself some terrible drama by being open and honest with him from the get-go. One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to act like nothing's happened after a breakup. Doing so gives off the impression that you never cared. It can really hurt his feelings - at this point, that  shouldn't  be something you're trying to do. After you make contact, acknowledge your breakup without dwelling on it. You might try using phrases like these:  "I'm so glad I got to see you again." "I really hope you're doing better. I am." "I want to move on and start over as friends." If his friends knew about your old relationship, they'll be curious to know what's going on. If you have any reason to suspect he won't be honest with his friends, don't let him spin them a lie. Tell them you're looking to be friends with him and nothing more. If they hear from him that you're desperate to get back together but they hear from you that you're not, they'll probably (correctly) assume that he's the...

Hanging a TV on the wall saves floor space and makes the room look more spacious.  If you want to get fancy, you could hang the TV in a wooden frame backed with soundproofing material.  The size of the TV you want depends on your budget. Ensure your TVs are HDMI compliant so guests can connect their devices to watch their favorite shows. One of the best ways to provide a comfy bed for motel guests is to invest in a featherbed.  These are both economical and comfortable.  Use sheets with a 300 to 400 thread count, and seal them tightly beneath the mattress.  Add a couple of down pillows and a duvet. There should be one clothing storage drawer for each possible occupant.  If you design a motel room that sleeps four, there needs to be a minimum of four clothing storage drawers.  Install a low dresser unit directly across from the bed and below the TV.  Horizontally-oriented dressers will streamline the room. Do not install a wall-mounted dresser or armoire.  These are more difficult to replace and modify than smaller, more mobile dresser units. Consider using under-bed dressers if space is limited. Most people do not use their closet, or use it only for a dress or suit.  Keep the closet size to a minimum.  A closet 18 inches wide and two feet deep is an acceptable size.  The space you save on the small closet will make the room feel more spacious. Power outlets are a must for the modern motel guest.  Even a single guest might need three or four to accommodate their laptop, phone, tablet, and/or MP3 player.  If you assume some rooms might have whole families together, you can multiply that by three or four.  A motel room should have at least three outlets, plus another in the bathroom. Today, wi-fi is an expectation no matter where you are.  Motels are no exception.  Choose a convenient system that doesn’t make guests enter their room number every time they log on in order to keep guests connected for the duration of their stay. You should also include wi-fi in the lobby or recreational rooms of the motel. Place...

Hangovers are best eliminated with time. Since alcohol makes you feel sleepy, you might reach for the caffeinated beverage. This won't work for you. Your body needs time to recuperate. Take a nap. This is the best way to get rid of that headache and to get your better judgement back. A warm shower will raise your core temperature. A warmer temperature will prepare your body for sleep, which will in turn allow you to bypass the horrendous headache of the dreaded hangover. If you need to stay alert while drunk, a cold shower can help wake you up and keep your at the ready. A great way to get your alcohol's effects under control is to go for a walk. Walking speeds up your metabolism, processing what's in your stomach faster. So going for a short stroll may help reduce the duration of your alcohol's effects. Obviously, alcohol impairs your ability to walk, so make sure you go for your jaunt in a safe space — away from cars and stairs (the two greatest dangers to the drunk).

Hard and sticky foods should not be eaten while wearing a temporary crown.  Examples of hard foods include raw vegetables, hard candies, and mints which might break your crown.  Examples of sticky foods include caramel, taffy, or chewing gum. With a metal crown, especially, you will experience a slight to moderate pain or sensitivity in the crowned tooth.  This is due to the greater thermal conductivity of the metal crown. Sensitivity will typically be felt at the gum-line. Cold sensitivity should only last for about 6 weeks.  Sensitivity to heat should last only about a week.  If sensitivity to either persists beyond the expected time, you may require a follow-up visit with your dentist. Your crown may be sensitive to pressure.  If you have to chew on it, be slow and gentle in your application of pressure.  If you feel pain, however slight, stop chewing and try to eat a smaller portion.  Chew with the side of your mouth opposite the side where your crown is whenever possible. Do not use toothpicks to scrape or force food bits from between your teeth; you may inadvertently loosen or remove the crown.

Harder cheeses have a lower melting point. These cheeses are the types that are more frequently used in sauces, in dishes like grilled cheese, and as the base for soups. Cheddar, Gruyere, and Swiss cheese are great cheeses for melting. Reduced fat cheeses can melt, but they may take longer to melt and be tougher during stirring. Low-fat and low-moisture cheeses, such as Parmesan and Romano, burn easily and do not melt into a dip-like consistency. Extremely soft cheeses, like feta and ricotta, will never melt and should be avoided when making melted cheese. Cheese will melt quicker if it's cut into smaller portions. Grate, shred, or slice your cheese prior to melting it. There is not a significant difference between grating, shredding, or slicing. You can use whichever option is most convenient for you. If you melt cheese cold, it may cause it to melt slowly or unevenly. Let your cheese sit out until it comes to roughly room temperature before you try to melt it. Most cheese will come to room temperature in about 20 to 30 minutes. Do not leave cheese sitting out for more than two hours.

Hardiness zones are categories (based on temperature and location) that determine which plants while grow well in which areas. English ivy is unlikely to thrive outside of hardiness zones 4 to 9. You can determine your hardiness zone by looking in a farmer’s almanac or visiting the USDA website. English ivy likes fertile and well-drained soil. Be sure that the area where you intend to place the plant can accommodate this, or consider using a container (where you can control the planting medium). ” English ivy is notorious for its ability to spread quickly. Check its status in your area before planting. Alternatively, you may want your English ivy to climb up a wall, tree, trellis, or other structure. If you live in a brick house, you may even want the ivy to grow and spread over your home. Select a location like this, and plan to plant your ivy nearby. English ivy can spread so quickly that in some places it is considered an invasive species. As such, you may want to start your English ivy in a container. Any planting container with a drainage hole will work fine. Fill this container with planting medium.

Hardy mums can last for several years if you plant them at the correct time of year and care for them properly. They’ll put down deep roots that help them survive the winter and come back the following year and flower again. Florist mums are less hardy than garden mums, and they are usually potted or planted in a garden bed with the intention of removing them once their blossoms are gone. They come in an amazing variety of colors and shapes, but unfortunately they won't live over the winter, no matter how well you take care of them. Florist mums include the following varieties:   Pompom mums, one of the most common varieties, which are shaped like little balls. Anemone mums, which have either one or two rows of petals around a center. Daisy mums, which have a row of petals around a center, like daisies do. Spider mums, which are less common, have long, droopy petals. Mums will bloom pretty much anywhere, but they do best in an area in full sunlight. This means the area where you plant your mums should get 5 to 6 hours of direct sun per day. Mums bloom based on the changes in sunlight as nights get longer and days get shorter, so try to avoid planting them near artificial light sources like street lights.

Harsh chemical cleaners should not be used on Frigidaire products. They can cause damage. Stick to mild cleaners, like dish detergent, or non-chemical cleaners like vinegar when cleaning your fridge. Many people neglect to sweep the bottom of the dishwasher before running a cleaning cycle. Make sure you do not forget this vital step. If gunk sticks on the bottom of the dishwasher too long, it could clog the drain and cause serious problems. When emptying the glass trap, make sure to take care when handling any broken glass. Wrap glass in plastic wrap and then set it in a cardboard box. Close the box and seal it with tape. Write something like "Danger" on the box to indicate it contains sharp materials before throwing it in the trash.

Do not use harsh chemical cleaners. Make sure to remove gunk and food before running a clean cycle. Dispose of glass safely.


Has he started working out more, dressing better, grooming himself with more care, or using a new musky cologne? While self improvement through physical fitness and grooming are healthy life choices, consider if he is trying to improve his physical appearance for someone else. If your boyfriend is usually in bed by 9 and is suddenly out all night or sneaking around the house late at night, this may be a sign of cheating. Similarly, if he usually sticks to a set routine of going to the gym in the morning or heading home from the office by 5, but he is now sleeping in or staying at the office late, these adjustments in his daily schedule could hint at time spent elsewhere, possibly in the company of someone else. If he is usually a very attentive, supportive partner who asks you how your day is and enjoys having long conversations with you over dinner, and then suddenly appears uninterested in your day or bored by long conversations with you, this may be a sign his interest or engagement is focused elsewhere and not on you.   Your partner may also lose interest in domestic activities like spending time with the kids, fixing up the house, mowing the lawn, etc. He may also spend more time on his phone texting or on the computer in private chat rooms or social media pages. If his phone or computer use goes up dramatically or if he becomes secretive about his phone or computer use, this may be a red flag. Perhaps there has been a decline in the amount of sex you are having or a strange, sudden increase in sexual activity, with new sexual preferences or tastes that you did not experience with him previously.  You may start wondering where he learned a certain sexual move or what caused him to develop a certain preference in bed. One possible reason is he may be trying out new moves with someone else. He may also have a lower sex drive or spurn off your attempts at being intimate with excuses like “I'm tired,” or “Maybe another night.” If he seems to be picking a lot of fights, get angry at you for something small he...

Has it said what you ventured out to say? Is anything left out? Are questions raised and not answered? Is your wording clear? Does it move you?  A good memoir is entertaining. It doesn't necessarily have to be funny, but it should be deliberately something. What is the reader getting from it? Why would they drop their own worries and start caring about yours? In addition to checking for content errors, check for grammar, spelling, and punctuation mistakes. Your computer will not catch everything. If you have a close friend or family member that is particularly good at this, ask them for assistance. Not everything you write will be gold. After you've taken a break, start back at the beginning, dissecting and removing. Weed out what's unnecessary and repetitive. Not every instance of your existence is worth noting. If an event isn't part of a flowing transition into another, it doesn't have to make it to the page. Include only what gets you to your end point without meandering from your path. After you have revised as much as you can, give your memoir to some trusted friends for feedback. You may see a pattern in their comments, and that's a good indication of what needs further revision. Don't be shy and seek a professional editor if needed.  If they're in it (or not in it), be careful. Don't hurt anyone's feelings by putting them in a negative light (or not putting them in one at all) and then forcing them to read it. You'll only get a negative reaction. Constructive criticism is vital to your work. Sometimes you may not see things that others will point out, and it may help you improve your work.

Hate is a strong emotion, one very few people feel casually. Do they actually hate you? Or are you giving yourself too much credit as a force in their life? That said, the following signs could mean there is some beef between both of you.  Intentionally making your life difficult (deliberately annoying you, messing with your work, for instance). Ignoring your words and conversations, especially when you're trying to speak with him/her. Talking trash about you behind your back. Throwing unwarranted cruel language and insults your way at every opportunity. Acting rude to you, but being very kind to others. Also, if he/she suddenly acts angry or annoyed around you when he/she didn't seem to be before, that's a sign that they don't like you. Just be straightforward and ask them. 90% of the jerks harboring hateful feelings won't have much to say back to you -- they're just angry people. When confronted, they'll stammer, hem, and haw, because there is usually no good reason to hate you. But, if they do respond, you'll have a chance to make things right:  If they are uncomfortable, just flash them your pearly whites and say, "It's all right. Let's just try and be better friends in the future." If that seems a bit condescending, you can go with, "I understand if you'd rather not talk about it. I just noticed that you don't seem to like me and was curious." If they tell you a reason why, say "That's good to know. I'm working on being a better person, and not doing ________." If you can give them a concrete step, like you're trying to make less of a mess in the work kitchen to be more respectful, let them know. If their reason is unreasonable or dumb, just admit that not everyone's perfect and move on. Don't waste any more breath trying to tame a jerk who doesn't want to be tamed or hates you for a really immature reason. They might say that they "just don't like you". If that's the case, accept that some people just can't bring themselves to like certain others. It's nothing personal. Did you blow them off? Forget a...

Hats are a great way to hide your hair and add to your outfit.  Different occasions and environments call for different types of hats.  A baseball cap is commonly worn among men, and generally considered to be informal.  It can make a specific statement about who you are if it contains a sports team logo or company name. A fedora is a great way to complete a formal outfit. A beanie is an informal hat, better for colder weather A Panama hat is a popular option for a laid-back place- perfect for a vacation.  .

Havanese dogs can be very difficult to house train. Litter box training is a good alternative to house training for little dogs. Doggie litter boxes are available at your local pet store. They have a flat square surface or pan with an artificial grass covering. When your Havanese urinates in the litter box, the urine would go through the artificial grass to the underlying surface or pan.  You could also make your own litter box with a plastic dog pan. Line the dog pan with layers of pee pads.  Place the litter box where your Havanese can easily access it and will have some privacy when using it. Place it away from his food and water bowls. Although you are training your Havanese to eliminate inside, he should still be on a schedule. Puppies need to eliminate frequently, so a bathroom schedule will be very important if you have a Havanese puppy. Your puppy should eliminate after eating, drinking, waking up from a nap, first thing in the morning, and before bedtime. If you have an adult Havanese, he should eliminate a few times day, preferably after meals and before bedtime. When it’s time for your Havanese to eliminate, walk him over to the litter box. When he eliminates, praise him and give him a treat. Over time, your Havanese will learn that the litter box is the correct place for him to eliminate. Litter box training your Havanese is certainly convenient if you live in an apartment or have a busy work schedule that keeps you away from home for long hours. Fortunately, your Havanese can still learn to potty outside.  Proper crate training will help with house training, since your Havanese will have already learned where he should (and shouldn’t) eliminate. If he has an accident in the house, clean up the mess with an enzymatic cleaner, which you can purchase at your local pet store. Do not punish him for the accident.

Select a doggie litter box. Establish a bathroom schedule. Take your Havanese to the litter box. Consider house training your Havanese.


Have a battery-operated TV or radio, ideally a NOAA radio, on hand in case of power outages. You will most likely get alerts on your phone, as well, but it's best to have a TV or radio as backup just in case. You can also use online weather predictors to check the local radar, which can give you a real-time look at storm cells in your area. Be prepared to get into your shelter as quickly as possible.  A tornado watch indicates that tornadoes are possible in your area. Pay special attention to weather conditions. A PDS tornado watch is issued when a powerful supercell has a chance of creating a significant tornado. When this watch is issued, be prepared to take immediate shelter. A tornado warning indicates that a tornado has been seen in your area. Seek shelter right away. A tornado emergency means that a significant tornado has been confirmed on the ground in your area. Take cover immediately. Although warning sirens and messages are fairly reliable, they aren't perfect. Be alert during a storm and watch for the signs that a tornado may be approaching:  Darkening skies, particularly if the sky appears a sickly greenish color, indicating hail, or an orange color, indicating dust being blown around by high winds. Strong, persistent rotation of the cloud base. Very calm and quiet conditions during or right after a thunderstorm. A rumble or roar that sounds like continuous thunder or, sometimes, a train or jet Whirling debris near the ground, even in the absence of a funnel cloud. Blue-green or white flashes at ground level in the distance at night – a sign of power lines being snapped by high winds. If you are inside, find the most interior room, on either the first floor or in the basement. Do not stand by windows, or near anything that could possibly hit you (bookcases, chairs, etc.). Put as many walls between you and the storm as possible. If you are in a mobile home or trailer, find the nearest secure structure. Mobile homes, even when secured down, offer little protection.  If you have a car, attempt to...

Have a business plan, an operational plan and a strategic  down on paper before you buy or start a farm.  Note where you are, where you want to be, and how you want to get there. Additional personal and business goals and objectives, and financial and market goals and objectives are also important to note.  Reviewed and write down your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, (also called a SWOT analysis) of both yourself and the operation you want to get started in, as well as the farm you have in mind to purchase or start up from scratch. You will need to figure the cost of the land, equipment, and necessary improvements that must be faced before beginning your farm operation.  There isn't a set price for land, or a fixed amount of land required to begin a farming operation, so you will need to look carefully at those prices in the location you have chosen. Equipment can be very expensive, but you may have an option to buy it with dealer financing or by purchasing used equipment. Farming requires an investment each year to maintain operations. Some costs are up front, like buying or renting the land, buying equipment, and funds to sustain you until you have sold crops/livestock. Other costs that are going to be faced each year are:  Fuel and maintenance for equipment. You will most likely be buying diesel fuel for combines and tractors, hydraulic oil, engine oil, and other items to keep your machinery running. Seeds and fertilizer are necessary to produce a crop, and you will need to invest in these every year you plant and harvest your crops. Chemicals to protect your crops from insects, diseases, and invasive plants/weeds. Utility bills. You will almost certainly use some electrical power for water pumps and for maintenance equipment like an air compressor and other power tools beyond what you will need for your living quarters and day to day life. Farming doesn't pay you a weekly salary, your payday comes when you sell the product of your farm, and often that isn't until the end of your growing season.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Start off by drafting up a plan. Make an extensive estimate of the cost of your farm. Look at your financial situation before you get too far down the path you have chosen. Plan on either working off the farm at a day job, or saving enough money to fund your cost of living until you begin to turn a profit on your farm.


Have a conversation with your baby multiple times a day and use his or her name repeatedly. Encourage any sounds they make, even if it is an unintelligible baby noise. In the early stages, any noise they make is speech progress.  As your baby begins to make more sounds, ask questions and wait for their responses, which teaches the order of a conversation and the cadence of speech. You can also model conversation by asking a question and waiting for a response, but then answering the question yourself if the baby doesn’t answer. Provide a running commentary of daily actions, such as what you are doing as you get ready for the day or what you see on a walk. Give your baby quiet time as well, to allow him or her to experiment with her body and her voice. Make a big deal out of any sounds your baby makes. Mimicking their baby noises encourages them to keep experimenting with sounds and provides some needed entertainment for your baby.  Baby talk can be helpful for babies, but only in small doses. Repetitive sounds, like mama or dada, can help a child learn to speak, but some research points to it slowing down vocabulary development. Use baby words during certain activities and use regular, slow speech during other activities to show your child real patterns in speech. To gain your baby’s attention, when addressing them, say their name in a slow way - while maintaining eye contact -to help them recognize it.  This will encourage them to respond when being called, even if it is initially with just a sound. Do this when carrying out any activity with them, whether it is giving them a bath, feeding them or just playing with them. Reading is a powerful tool in language development and one of the most important things parents can do with their children. Books not only build a relationship between you and your baby, but also provide them with colorful pictures to stimulate the brain and words to add to their vocabulary.  Establish a habit of reading to your child daily from an early age. For newborns, it doesn’t even...

Have a firm grasp of who they are, where they’re from, what they do, etc. before sharing them with anyone. Know exactly how you met and what the two of you have done together since then. Rehearse your story until you know it backwards and forwards. Don’t give yourself away by taking the time to think up lies on the spot. Expect people to ask questions about them. Keep your answers grounded in what you know for sure. Invent a backstory for your partner based on places and cultures you’re already familiar with. Either give your imaginary partner an upbringing similar to your own so you can speak about it with authority, or model them on someone you know well enough to "borrow" a plausible background, like a best friend, roommate, or cousin.  For instance, if you’re Irish Catholic and know nothing about Asian cultures, don’t have an imaginary partner who’s Asian, since other people would expect you to have learned at least a little something about your partner’s beliefs and practices. Instead, use someone you know fairly well to fill in all those gaps. Say you have a good friend who's Italian and also Catholic. Since you share the same religious background, make your partner a Catholic Italian, too. Then use what you know about your friend's family life as a template for your imaginary partner's. Bolster stories about your partner with real details. If you tell people about a date or day-trip that you went on with your partner, use places that you’ve actually been to. Misdirect their attention by talking more about the places you’ve gone together, rather than the person who went with you.  For example, if you’re telling a story about a dinner date, shift the focus away from your partner by talking about the food you ate or something funny that really happened at another table. If you claim to have gone together to some event that you actually went to by yourself (like a movie, show, or concert), talk more about the event itself. Let your partner "borrow" your own honest reactions. For instance, if you've telling...

Have a friend spot you while you are learning how to roll. It's always a good idea to establish a distress signal, too, so you can communicate if you need help. Setting up to roll is important not only during practice but also during normal kayaking. It will help you roll over quickly and efficiently. Hold your paddle in both hands on the side of the kayak opposite your dominant hand. Hold the paddle right above the water's surface with the front blade flat to the surface of the water.  If your paddle is feathered, with a concave curve on one side of the blade, hold that side up. This is also called the “power” face of your paddle. For example, if you are right handed, hold the paddle on your left-hand side to set up for the roll. Press your chin against your chest, and lean your chest forward towards the side of the kayak where you're holding your paddle. You're going to roll in this direction. Hold your paddle steady in the same position alongside your kayak as you do this. You will naturally rotate head down into the water.

Practice learning to roll in calm, shallow water. Align your paddle alongside your kayak. Tuck your head and body forward. Turn your body into the water towards your paddle.


Have a look at the Sound Therapy 4 Pets website. They have a number of CDs that prepare and treat dogs that have sound phobias. While not always effective, getting your animal used to the sound without the sight of the vacuum could help the animal overcome its fear. All vacuums make some noise, but many vacuums are designed to limit and almost eliminate the amount of noise they make. If your pet is really scared of your vacuum, try buying one that isn’t as noisy. While some pets will fear the vacuum cleaner their entire lives, some pets just need to get used to its presence. If you have young pets, simply go through your vacuuming routine as usual. Over time, they may get used to it and lose their fear. If your pet has been trained with a clicker, try using the clicker to get the animal used to the vacuum. Start with the vacuum off and click while dropping a treat when the animal comes around the vacuum. Once the animal is close, run the vacuum very briefly and turn it off again. While you are doing this, click and drop a treat for the animal before it has the chance to react to the noise. Once the animal has gotten used to the sound of the vacuum, try using the clicker method while moving the vacuum around your pet.

Have a nice, friendly smile on your face. Be calm and polite. Introduce yourself and ask for his name. Refrain from talking in an overly excited tone which can overwhelm a shy person. Talk softly and in a moderate tone. Don't ask them all of a sudden either---it could startle them.  Be sure your approach is friendly and inviting, but not overly excited to the point where it seems insincere. You might say something like "Hey, I noticed you standing here on your own. I'm Jeff, what's your name?" Approaching the person on your own as opposed to with a group increases the likelihood that he will engage with you. Shy people typically feel overwhelmed and intimidated by large groups. Shy people tend to feel self-conscious or awkward in social situations. This feeling is intensified when they are subjected to intense stares. Staring at the other person nonstop can feel threatening. So, aim to avert your gaze occasionally to help your new friend feel more comfortable.  Science has shown that direct eye contact increases self-awareness, which is an uncomfortable state for extremely shy people.  To increase his comfort level with you, aim to make eye contact between 30-60% of the time during a conversation. Generally, you should make eye contact slightly more when listening than when talking.  To further help your new friend adjust to you, stand beside him rather than face-on. This positioning can often feel less threatening. Just be sure to turn to face him slightly with your body to show interest and engagement. To draw out a shy person, you might start by asking a few questions. Open-ended questions, that is, those that require more than a "yes" or "no" answer are best. These types of questions allow the person responding to answer in his own words rather than offering limited response options. They also give your potential friend the chance to talk as little or as much as he would like.  For example, if you are at a social gathering, and you want to strike up a conversation with a shy person who is hiding out in...

Have a person you trust help you cut down the back of your duct tape shirt, from bottom to top. Make sure that they cut through the duct tape, shirt, and plastic wrap layers. You should now have a body-double made out of duct tape. If anything became dented on the mannequin during this step, such as a beast, use your fingers to gently push it back out. Place the cut ends together so that they match up.  Cover them with a strip of duct tape to seal the gap. For extra security, apply tape to both the inside and outside of the shirt. Take a look at the top and bottom edges of the mannequin. If you are happy with them, leave them be. If they look ragged or jagged, touch them up with more tape. Consider cutting the top edge of the neck down at a slight, downward angle to mimic a real mannequin. Make sure that you still have some neck left, however! If you need to, cover the neck hole with a few strips of duct tape so that the stuffing doesn't come out the other end. Keep stuffing until the mannequin feels full and firm. You will need about two bags of polyester stuffing.

Have a plan of how to structure the evening, but it’s important to ask the boys for feedback. You show the boys respect and compassion by including them on the conversation of what to do. Don’t be too obsessive and remember that your son's guests already know what keep them entertained. This is ideal for younger sleepover guests, but there are a plethora of board games that are fitting for older guests as well. A board game is also ideal because it gives you a chance to have fun with the guests.   Have an assortment of family-friendly (but not too childish, if they boys are reaching the ages of ten or more) and fun games for the boys to choose from. Sorry, Operation, Scategories, and Youth Trivial Pursuit are all acceptable options.   Some boys may be into more strategy-based games such as Risk or Settlers of Catan. See if the sleepover group has any interest in these games and consider purchasing some for the sleepover. Make sure they clean up one game themselves before starting the next. Offer prizes in the form of small snacks for the "winners" of a game if you like. It can be hard to find a good craft boys will enjoy depending on their age, but it is possible. Crafts can also be a great way to teach the boys something practical and creative instead of just consuming television or video game programming.  Teach them how to make  origami. Origami is an excellent craft they can take home as well. Small boys may enjoy making costumes out of paper, such as knight's armor and weaponry. Keep coloring books on hand with an array of crayons. Try to choose interesting coloring books like those based around animals or landscapes. Print out monster mouths and try to see who can make the scariest monster sounds. If you’re at a loss for ideas, search for arts and crafts websites that are geared towards children. This is an excellent option for keeping guests entertained with little effort on your part. Talk to your son before the sleepover to get a handle on what sorts of movies the guests will enjoy.  Choose a few...

Have a range of distractions in the back of your mind at all times. In the moment when you feel the urge to self-harm, you should have an alternative behavior ready. Sometimes, the best way to avoid engaging in self-harm is to find a distraction from your feelings.  Think about things you enjoy doing. You can go for a walk or run, play with a pet, call a friend to talk about something completely different, or watch television. Make sure to change the channel if you see something distressing. It may help to have a list of distractions written down somewhere. If you feel the urge to cut, refer to your list. Cutting often comes in response to stress and anxiety.

Find a variety of distractions. Do something soothing. Express your pain in a non-physical manner. Release physical tension.


Have a reusable water bottle that you can refill with cold water throughout the day. Not only will water keep you cool throughout the day, it can keep you hydrated and avoid fatigue throughout the day. Avoid caffeinated drinks like coffee or tea. The caffeine increases blood flow and raises body temperature, regardless of if the drink is hot or cold. Not only do large meals make your body work harder, they can also make you more sluggish. To avoid the afternoon slump, consider grazing on healthy snacks, like nuts and fruits, throughout the day rather than eating a hearty lunch. Stick to cold foods like light salads or sandwiches if you can. Frozen fruit throughout the day is a healthy alternative that will also cool you down as you eat it! Let the fruit thaw for 10 minutes before eating it, either with a fork or your fingers. To stop your hair from getting too warm on your neck, wear your hair in a high ponytail or bun. Use fabric hair ties to keep your hair up and avoid the sweat. Use barrettes or bobby pins to keep hair out of your face and off your forehead. To help cool the main veins that move blood through the body, go to the bathroom and run cool water over your wrists for 30 seconds. Not only will it be a refreshing feeling immediately, it can help keep you cool for a little while afterward too. To avoid getting up from a desk or job site, hold a cold water bottle to your wrists for the same amount of time for a similar effect. Materials like cotton or linen will be more breathable and help control your body temperature, unlike thick fabrics like polyester or rayon. Use light colors in your outfit since they reflect heat while darker colors will absorb heat. Wear looser fit clothes if possible so air can circulate through them more efficiently rather than being trapped.

Drink 8 glasses of cold water per day. Eat smaller lunches. Wear your hair up. Rinse your wrists with cold water. Wear light-colored, thin fabrics.


Have a second laundry basket dedicated to socks only. Bring both hampers to the washing machine when it’s time to wash a load and mix socks into the load one pair at a time. Get into the habit of putting in a smaller load for nothing besides your socks. By isolating all of your socks while they’re being washed, you’ll limit the chances they have to get jumbled up with other clothing and disappear. Throw all of your socks in a lingerie bag before tossing it into the washing machine with the rest of your clothing. Keep them in the bag when you move the clothes from the washer to the dryer. For extra organization, give a mesh bag to each family member.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Keep your socks in their own hamper. Wash your socks in a load by themselves. Wash all socks together in a washable mesh bag.


Have a sense of the main places you want to hit, and a rough idea of when you want to get there. Check mileages -- in the United States, places can be hundreds of miles apart in reality but look quite close on the map. Think about how long you can realistically drive per day.  It's often fun to get or buy a map and physically work out your route from that. If you'd rather do it online, Google Maps or MapQuest are good tools: https://maps.google.com/ or http://www.mapquest.com/  Don't set yourself up for exhaustion and failure by planning a trip in which you're in the car for 10 hours a day six days in a row -- that's not fun at all. Make a note of some of the places you'll eat along the way. For some great suggestions, go to roadfood.com or websites like yelp.com where locals can weigh in on the best food in their areas. Try to stick to a loose meal schedule so you're not ravenous and looking for food along a stretch of road with nothing. When in doubt, you can always get a good variety of foods at grocery stores. If you have particular diet (vegan, gluten-free, etc.) grocery stores are often going to be your best choices. If you are going to be staying in one place for a few days, it might make sense to rent an apartment and cook for part of your time there. You will end up saving a lot of money on food, and can even prepare food for the next leg of driving. It's fun to drive aimlessly sometimes and just find a hotel for the night, but it's often hard to find the best lodging at the cheapest price if you don't plan ahead. Sometimes you also get stuck going much farther than you had hoped because you can't find lodging, or the lodging you find is not at all what you wanted. You certainly don't need to plan every stop for every night of your trip -- think about planning one or two nights ahead if you like to keep things loose. If you're going to camp, it's essential that you make reservations, especially in summer at popular campgrounds. Some places fill up months in advance.

How would you rephrase that briefly using English?

Plot a loose route. Plan some meals. Decide if you're going to cook. Make some reservations.


Have a stack of dry microfiber cloths nearby, and dampen one or two of them. If you're dusting an item that's okay to get wet, like a ceramic vase, wipe it down with the damp microfiber cloth. When you're dusting things that can't get wet, like books, leather items, or other delicate objects, use one of the dry cloths, instead. Be sure to wipe down the leaves of all of your houseplants with a damp cloth. When dust builds up on your plants, it blocks the pores on the leaves, so they can't filter CO2 out of the air as effectively. Wipe down the outside of your electronics with a dry cloth, then use a brush attachment on your vacuum to suck up any dust that's gathered around vents or the power cord. Finally, use a can of compressed air to blow out any dust or other debris from small crevices, like between the keys on your computer keyboard.  Always unplug any device before you clean it. Wipe down electronic screens, including your television, with a dry microfiber cloth or a dryer sheet. The dryer sheet will help dispel static electricity that can make it hard to remove dust. If you have small figurines, decor with elaborate carvings or molding, or anything else that's difficult to wipe down, carefully go over them with a dry paintbrush. Use the corner of the brush to get the bristles into any crevices that would be hard to reach with just a cloth. If you used a paintbrush to clean your window screens, you can use that one here! Just use your hand to brush away any dust that might be left on the bristles. If it's possible, wash any bedding, curtains, plush toys, slipcovers, or other fabric items that are machine washable. These soft surfaces can hold onto a lot of dust, and putting them through the wash will remove a lot of that.  Vacuum your curtains with your brush attachment if you can't wash them. Tumble-dry the linens in your dryer or hang them to air dry. However, wait to replace them until you've finished dusting the rest of the room. Otherwise, they might collect more dust as you clean. If you have any...

Wipe most decorative items and other objects with a microfiber cloth. Get dust out of electronics with compressed air and a vacuum. Sweep dust from crevices and small, fragile objects with a dry brush. Wash linens and soft toys. Vacuum any upholstered furniture in the room.


Have all of the details ready when your parents have time to talk. The more information you have the better your argument will be.  Tell them where you are going, who will be with you, how long you will be gone, and what you will be doing. Be completely honest the whole time. If you get caught in any sort of lie, you will lose your parents’ trust. You can’t have too many details. Find out beforehand if you will need transportation, spending money, or reservations if you want to go attend a scheduled event. Start small and work bigger. Before you ask to go on a big week-long trip, try asking to sleep over at a friend’s house for one night first. They may see that you can handle little things and then trust you going out for longer periods of time. It might be obvious to you that you don’t want to miss out on the big camping of the year or a super sale at the mall. Your parents on the other hand might not know why it’s a big deal, so be clear when asking them for permission. Explain why this opportunity is exciting for you. If there are educational benefits, make sure and mention them since your parents will want you to succeed in school. Being dramatic and raising your voice are only going to show them that you’re still too immature to go out. You can show excitement, but don’t let that enthusiasm turn into rage if things aren’t going your way. You still have a chance to convince them so don’t blow it by losing your cool.  Even if it looks like your parents are going to say no, try your best to not yell, scream, or cry out of frustration. Don’t threaten or make demands. You won’t be able to convince your parents by threatening to stop doing chores if you can’t go out. You’ll only end up in more trouble. After presenting your parents with your plans, let them think. For example you could say, “Thank you for listening to me. If you would like some time to think about your decision I understand.” This will prove to them that you are being patient and mature, even if you just want to go spend some time at a...

Come prepared to present your argument to them. Explain why you want to go. Keep calm when discussing plans. Give them time to think things over. Involve your siblings only when necessary. Accept defeat in order to win next time.


Have an honest conversation about who should live where. You need to decide, for instance, who will be staying in your current place, and you both need to voice your opinion about it.  If the house or apartment belonged to one of you before you got together, then it should stay with that person. If you got it while you were together, you may both need to move out, especially if you can't afford it separately. Some couples simply don't have the finances to move out immediately. You need to have an earnest discussion about whether that's true or not. If you must stay in the apartment together for some time, you'll need to decide how finances will be taken care of.  For instance, are you going to pay the bills in the same way? Will you have separate food bills now? If the other person can't afford to move out without help, you may decide you want to help them get past the initial expense, but that's totally your call. Don't forget legal issues. For instance, if you rent or have bills jointly, you're both still legally responsible for those bills. You've broken up, and therefore, there needs to be a time limit for how long it will be until one of you leaves. Four to six months is reasonable for finding a new place, with the stipulation that you or the other person is trying to get out as soon as possible. If you have kids together, you'll need to come to an agreement about where they will live. You also need to decide how the kids will be able to spend time with both of you, as well as who will pay for what when it comes to clothing, schooling, and healthcare.  If you don't involve lawyers, keep in mind that any custody agreement you make could have legal ramifications later. That is, if you decide the kids will stay with one parent more, a judge may take that into account later. If you can't come to a custody agreement, you may need to hire a lawyer. When you live together, your property gets jumbled together, and dividing it can get confusing. However, if you two can agree on some clear rules, it can make it...

Have an idea of what direction you want your conversation with your spouse to go? If you want to embrace being a good listener, you have to get rid of it. Conversations in which two people are participating equally by listening and replying grow organically. Don’t sit down to listen to them with an expectation of guiding the conversation your way. When you do this, you aren’t truly listening. Sometimes our spouses simply want to come to us to vent or talk through their problems. When you step in with unsolicited, quick-fix suggestions, this belittles your spouse and minimizes their concerns. Avoid offering advice unless your spouse specifically asks you what you think. This especially applies to men. This tends to be a very gendered problem, with husbands seeking to fix their wives’ problems, rather than listening to their wives talk about their problems. For instance, if your wife comes to you with concerns about a disagreement she had with her mother, resist the urge to tell her to simply call her mother and apologize. Instead, actively listen and acknowledge her struggle. The way that you and your spouse communicate and listen to each other will be the model for your kids in their future relationships. Children are sponges for information, so make sure that the model that you’re providing them about how to best communicate with their partner is one of respect and openness. Your spouse might bring up that you haven’t listened to them in the past. When they mention this, it’s important to not become defensive or angry. Instead, acknowledge that you haven’t been as attentive as you should have been and that you’re working on it. Try asking them what things you specifically do that make them feel that you aren’t listening. This way, if they have specific examples, you’ll have concrete things that you can begin to work on. If you’ve been neglectful of your spouse in the past and failed to listen to them, then a genuine apology can go a long way. Be sure that your attitude is remorseful and matches your words....

Drop your agenda. Don’t feel like you have to fix their problem. Remember the importance of being a good role model. Avoid being defensive about past poor-listening. Apologize and mean it. Ask for feedback. Try marriage counseling.


Have an open and honest discussion about how his porn use makes you feel. Let him know what you're thinking and feeling, what doubts you have, and ask him some questions about his views on pornography. You'll feel better if you put your feelings out there and let him know what you're thinking and feeling. If he respects you, he'll respect your views and will take the time to listen to you. You can even ask him about his reasons for watching it, if you like, if you are concerned that he is aroused for the wrong reasons.  Just know that many men view their porn watching as a very private activity, just like masturbation, and your boyfriend may not want to discuss every little detail with you. If you can both be open and understanding of one another, that is a good sign that you can grow together intimately with or without porn. Unfortunately, if you know you are not okay with porn and you try to keep your significant other from watching it, you may fall into a pattern of being the "porn police". This behavior causes distrust in the relationship, and can cause him to keep his porn use hidden from you, or cause tension and discomfort while talking about the subject.  If you feel okay with the porn, the concept of keeping him from watching it should not arise. If it is only certain genres of porn that upset you, make sure to talk about this with him and let him know why it makes you feel the ways you do. If you are unsure, try to imagine yourself watching porn, or maybe you do watch porn. If you can understand the reasons he may have for watching porn or the reasons you enjoy watching porn, you can mutually grow and include the porn into your sex life. Understand your feelings before you act. If you feel tempted to snoop, or pick through his search history, you may find at the end of that road even more distrust and dishonesty. If your boyfriend is okay with you watching porn, and he also thinks it is okay for him to watch porn then the two of you can have a better, open conversation on how you can incorporate it...

Talk to your boyfriend about it. Don't try to ban it, but establish each other's boundaries to the relationship. Try not to be paranoid during your time together. Define what cheating means to you. Ask yourself if you have any objections to having porn in your relationship.


Have both players sit across from one another to start your game. Turn the board so each player has a black square in the lower-left corner and a white square in the lower-right corner. Use the rhyme, "white on the right" to help you remember while you’re setting up your game. to place pieces and keep notation. Ranks are the horizontal rows and the files are the columns going between the players. Ranks are listed 1-8, starting with the side of the board with the white pieces. Files are listed as the letters “a” through “h” starting from the white player’s left side. Reference a specific square on the board by listing the rank followed by the file.  For example, the left corner for the white player is a1 while the left corner for the black player is h8. Practice notation by listing each move you and your opponent make by writing down the piece and the square to which it moves. You do not need to use the rank and file notation system if you don’t want to, but it does make setting up the board easier. Rooks usually look like castle towers and can move any number of squares horizontally or vertically, but they cannot jump over other pieces. Place the white rooks on squares a1 and h1, and put the black rooks on squares a8 and h8. Rooks are labeled “R” if you’re using chess notation. The knights look like horses and move in L-shapes by going 2 spaces horizontally and 1 space vertically, or 2 spaces vertically followed by 1 space horizontally. Put the white knights on squares b1 and g1, and set the black knights on b8 and g8.  Knights are the only pieces that can jump over other pieces as long as the space it ends on is vacant. Knights are labeled either as “N” or “Kt” in notation. Bishops are the third-tallest pieces in your chess set and move in a straight line diagonally. If you’re the white player, place your bishops on c1 and f1 and put the black bishops on squares c8 and f8.  Bishops can’t move onto a square that isn’t the same color as its starting square. Label bishops as “B” if you’re using notation. Queens...

Have everything in place. Depending on whether you're using 3 or 4 flavorings, measure thirds or quarters in a measuring jug. Add 150ml/1/4 pint of water. Gently heat and stir well to ensure that the sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil, then cover and boil for another 3 minutes. Boil until the temperature reaches 130ºC/265ºF, the hard ball stage. Separate quickly into three or four batches. Pour in the chosen flavoring for each batch. Carefully add a lollipop stick to each round, covering with a little more syrup if needed. Carefully remove them from the parchment paper. Wrap in clear cellophane or stick into a lollipop holder and they're ready to be shared around or given away as a gift.

Have fun and smile at the party.  Show interest in the conversations you're having with others.  If you are having fun, others will too, and the time you spend mingling with strangers will be a success. Even if you don't know anyone, walk into the room with a smile like you know at least half the people there.  Chances are you will get smiles in return. When mingling with strangers at a party, square your shoulders, look people in the eye, and smile as you introduce yourself.  Speak in a calm, measured tone.  Don't rush your sentences and keep your voice at a natural volume. When mingling with strangers at a party, remember that you're not under the microscope.  Avoid thinking negative thoughts such as, “Everyone is studying my every move.  If I say or do the wrong thing, I will be ridiculed and ostracized.” Instead, keep the following in mind:  Many other people are likely in the same situation you are. Even if you do say something to someone that you feel embarrassed about, remember that you are unlikely to run into that person again. A party is a place to relax. Social rules are not as strict at parties as they are in other places, like work or school. Think of the strangers you meet there as your friends and peers.

Have him/her monitor all your phone calls just in case someone tries to call you and try to get you to buy something or your drug dealers calling you to find out why they haven't heard from you. Explain to them the severity of the symptoms included in withdrawal so that they can assist you and continue to help you get through it. Never keep yours feelings bottled up, it will only cause more problems. Make sure that the person that you choose for your buddy system is trustworthy and is sincere about helping you. Make sure that the one you choose is someone that you can talk to about anything in your life and preferably is someone that you have known for many years. So even when you are at your lowest peaks, remember that they do not have to help you and that they chose to do so. Most of all, remember that they have feelings too. And warn them in advance that you are going to be moody and to not take anything you say during withdrawal seriously.
