If you buy it premade, look for all-purpose compound which can be used for all coats. If you make your own, use setting-type compound powder and follow the instructions provided on the container. All of these compounds can be found at a hardware store. Setting-type compound powder is more difficult to sand and to prepare properly so it is not the best option for beginners. The “V” shape will help keep the compound in place. Remove any debris inside the crack with a vacuum hose or by simply scraping it out. Use a 3 to 4 in (7.6 to 10.2 cm) putty knife. Let the compound dry completely between coats. Layer on as many coats as necessary to fill the crack. The average is 3 coats.  Depending on what type of compound you use, it can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 24 hours to dry.  If the cut is deeper than 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm), you may need to press a strip of mesh or paper tape into the first layer of compound before it dries to better seal the crack.  Thinner coats are ideal as they're easier to sand down to match the wall once dry. Use a sanding block to smooth out the section to the flatness of the wall. Always wear a dust mask when sanding to avoid inhaling particles.  80-grit (medium-grit) sandpaper can eliminate larger bumps whereas a finer 120-grit can be used for finishing touches.  One option is to sand in between coats to avoid having to sand as much at the end. If you don't use primer first, your patched area won't blend in properly with the rest of the wall. The exception to this is if you used a paint and primer in one. Then you only need a coat or two of the paint directly on the affected area.

Buy prepared joint compound or mix it yourself. Cut a V-notch 1⁄4 to 1⁄8 inch (0.64 to 0.32 cm) along the crack. Apply coats of joint compound over the crack. Sand the dried joint compound with medium-grit sandpaper. Paint over the crack with latex primer followed by wall paint.


If you buy water from the pet store that is made for aquariums, you may not need to treat it.  Tap water will require treatment to ensure it is safe for shrimp.  Test your chlorine levels using a test you get from a pet store.  If chlorine is present, use a commercial dechlorinator to remove all traces of it. Nitrate and ammonia levels should be zero.  Pet stores sell water treatment kits to help reduce nitrate and ammonia. The pH range of your water should stay within 6.0 and 7.5. Before you begin filling the tank and installing fixtures, check your tank for leaks.  Fill the tank a few inches and wait to see if the seals hold.  You can do this with untreated water if you intend to empty it again.  New fist tanks should always be checked for leaks before placing animals in them. Filling the tank completely before you check for leaks could lead to a much larger mess if the seal on the tank fails. A planted food set up requires the inclusion of living plants inside your shrimp tank.  A non-planted tank will need more attention, as you will need to feed the shrimp yourself.  Low-light planted tanks can grow moss and ferns to provide their shrimp with a food source. Higher-light planted setups can use living substrates and grow Rotala on the walls of the tank to provide shrimp with food. Non-planted setups will need less water quality maintenance, but will require you to feed the shrimp yourself more often. You will need to choose the correct form of lighting for you tank based on the plants you have chosen. Be aware that some light options may increase the temperature of your tank's water.  Non-planted tanks will only need a common LED tank light available at most pet stores. Planted setups will need lighting appropriate for your choices in plants.  Metal Halides, fluorescents or LED lights are all good options. Look for light sources that are around 6500 kelvins to approximate the sun's rays for plant growth. Before adding any shrimp, you will need to cycle your tank for some time.  Cycling is simply allowing...

Treat the water as necessary to make it safe for shrimp. Fill the tank and check for leaks. Choose between a planted or non-planted food setup. Add lighting for your shrimp and plants. Cycle your tank for 2-8 weeks.


If you can afford a family law attorney, you should consider hiring one to help you navigate the custody process. See this article for directions on how to find a good family law attorney. Even if you cannot afford a full-service attorney, many attorneys provide limited services at a reasonable cost. This means you may be able to hire an attorney to prepare your documents, give you limited legal advice, or potentially even teach you about this area of the law, without having to pay the attorney to take on the entire custody process. You will file your petition for joint custody in the same court you opened your family law case in. Generally, you will open your family law case in the country where your child lives. This is true even if you live in a different county. In order to petition the court for joint custody of your child, you will have to fill out a request for an order. This form will require you to divulge information including your request for custody and the facts supporting your request. These facts should indicate why you deserve custody of the child and how your custody request will be in the best interest of that child. Because you are petitioning the court for joint custody, you will need to decide what type of custody you are going to seek. You could seek either physical or legal custody, or you could seek to share either or both of those duties with the other parent. Regardless, because you are filing for joint custody, you will not be asking for full control of both the legal and the physical responsibilities of the child. Once you have filled out the required forms to request a custody trial, you will want to review them carefully. These forms are going to be the basis of your custody argument, so you want to make sure they have been filled out accurately and completely. If you will not have the help of an attorney, consider using some of the free legal resources available to you. For example, in California, you can contact a family law facilitator or a self-help center for assistance with...

If you can do your job from anywhere, then your employer may agree to let you work remotely. Explain to your employer that this is also a benefit for them, as it saves them some overhead costs. This can allow you to work from anywhere without switching jobs.  Remote employees help an employer save overhead costs because workplace costs, such as electricity, office supplies, and rent, may go down. Additionally, they won’t need to purchase your materials, such as your computer or printer. If your workplace sometimes holds meetings, explain that you can attend them via services like Skype. Some companies already offer remote work, including for new hires. Search for these types of jobs online, then put in your application. You may be able to secure a great position that allows you to work from anywhere you like. You can look for work on sites like Indeed, Monster, ZipRecruiter, and FlexJobs. Freelancing may be a great option for you if you have a skill that you can do online in exchange for money, such as writing, editing, marketing, photography, graphic design, programming, IT, or web design. Start your own business and look for jobs on freelancing websites. Alternatively, you could create an online store that sells items you make or locally sourced goods from your travels abroad.  You can look for freelancing jobs on sites like Upwork, Freelancer, or Fiverr. If you plan to sell items online, make sure you have access to the space and materials you need to create and store your products. Consulting is similar to freelancing, as clients will pay you to share your expertise. Provide your consultation services either online or over the phone. If you travel often, you may also visit clients on occasion.  For instance, you might provide financial advice, IT training or support, engineering services, or human resources or management consultations. English teachers are in demand around the world, so you can travel the world teaching. Take a job with a company that hires English teachers, or look for teaching jobs...

If you can drive your vehicle home, remove it from the scene of the accident first. If your vehicle is inoperable, call your insurance company from the scene. When you call your insurance company to report the accident, a representative will ask you for information, including the year, make, model, and a description of the damage.  The representative will probably begin calculating the likelihood that your case is a total loss, but will not necessarily tell you that he or she is doing these calculations. The representative will arrange to have your vehicle towed from the scene of the accident, but if your car is likely to be a total loss according to the calculations, your car may be towed directly to a salvage yard to save the insurance company the cost of having to tow the car a from a garage to a salvage yard after the claim is settled. Always ask where your car will be towed, and ask to have it delivered to a garage or mechanic instead of a salvage yard. Once your insurance company inspects the car or performs more calculations, they will contact you with their decision. If they deem your car to be totaled, they will offer you a sum of money based on what they believe the car was worth prior to the collision. The insurer will typically ask that you assign title to the car to the insurance company when they pay the claim. They can then sell the car to a salvage yard to offset their expenses. Most states set a "total loss threshold" by law. If the cost of repair is less than the threshold, then the insurance company cannot declare a total loss and must pay for repairs. The threshold ranges from 100% of the car's value down to 50% in different states. If there is no threshold set by law, then the insurer will total the car if the cost of repair plus the salvage value is greater than the value of the vehicle before the collision. The insurance company's decision to total your car and offer you a certain sum is based on a written report. Ask the representative to mail or email you a copy of the report. Then...

If you can expect certain family members, co-workers, or situations to negatively impact your mood, address the situation. If a friend’s casual references to your weight, cooking, or life choices constantly cause you to feel distressed and oversensitive, talk with your friend about the issue or make an active decision to disengage from them.  This goes for your social media networks too. Hide problematic status posters from your news feed on Facebook, and mute on Twitter when specific users work you up (or get you down). Both of these functions are undetectable for the other party. Speak honestly with your friends and loved ones, but understand that speaking about the issue may elicit emotional responses from all parties. Use your coping techniques, and approach the situation understanding that this may be sensitive for them, too. Avoidance as a strategy is not a useful one. It typically causes all the negative emotion and anxiety stemming from the situation to grow only larger in your mind.   A distinction should be made between avoiding a problem and distancing yourself from one, however. Avoiding is an attempt at ignorance which is doomed to fail, while distancing is an active choice to remove a problem from your life. Bottling up your feelings to become some stoic, distant,  is replacing one issue with another. That grass is not greener. Doing what you love to do busies the mind in fulfilling ways, and is an important part of all self-care. The importance of enjoying yourself and disengaging from stressful situations cannot be overstated in approaching emotional issues.  It’s all too easy to be sucked into a downward spiral when you feel you have a problem with yourself. Physical activity has long been known to have a positive effect on outlook and mood, and the benefits of meditation for dealing with emotional issues (and even pain) are immense.  You don’t necessarily have to pursue organized classes, but the routine and community of formal instruction can provide additional benefit for a troubled...

If you can find a button in your window that exits full-screen mode, you can simply click it and then click the - button in the top-right corner of the window to minimize it. Double-clicking most video player windows (e.g., VLC or YouTube) will take you out of full-screen mode. If you're watching a video or viewing photos in full-screen mode, this key will exit full-screen mode. Pressing this key, which resembles the Windows logo, will force the desktop's taskbar to display at the bottom of the screen. You can then click the full-screen program's icon to minimize it, or you can press the "Show Desktop" bar in the far-right corner of the taskbar. This will exit any full-screen windows and minimize each window to the taskbar. Keep in mind that re-opening any of these windows will prompt them to resume in full-screen mode. Press ⊞ Win+⇧ Shift+M to open all minimized programs again. Especially if you're playing a game that's freezing, pressing this combination of keys will almost always take you out of the window. To get to the desktop:  Click Task Manager. Click the Processes tab. Click the full-screen program. Click End task. If you're encountering a full-screen program that won't close, press and hold your computer's Power button (or, if it's a desktop, remove the power cable) until the computer shuts down. When you restart your computer, all previously open windows will be closed.

If you can find an external vent, put down a fan heater blowing warm air into the vent. Use a cardboard box or tarp to minimize the amount of heat lost to the surrounding air. Crank the heat in the house to around 75 to 80ºF (24–27ºC) and wait two to three hours. Open closet and cabinet doors so the warm air circulates as close to the walls as possible. Unfortunately, this is often necessary to reach a frozen pipe before it bursts. Follow the instructions in the locating pipes section to isolate the most likely area of the problem. Use a keyhole saw to cut a hole into this area, then use any of the methods in the section on unfreezing pipes. If this is a recurring problem, consider installing a cabinet door over the hole instead of fully repairing the wall, for ease of access next time this occurs.

Blow a fan heater into outdoor vents. Turn up the central heating. Cut a hole in the wall.


If you can get onto a climbable ledge, then keep going on it as far as you can. See if it takes you anywhere. Possibly there is a point at which the programming got sloppy and you fall or climb through into something else of interest. In some games, walls become transparent when certain things happen, such as when moving items, interacting with players or using special actions such as teleporting or decorating. Perhaps there are particular joins or fissures in walls that create weak spots where you can pass through what is normally solid. If you notice that your weapon, tool or other object that you're holding can go through a wall, then try to go through as well. It could be a sign of a way to glitch into the wall or out of the zone, level, map or area that you're currently in. Rocks and other big scenery are often the best place to try to find glitches. Sometimes the game developers get lazy and don't set up barriers there.  If you go to a rock to try to glitch into it or out of a map, try to go to the most obscure edge of it. The most protruding edge that is obviously different from the others could be the key to getting inside it. If you are new to glitching, try not to go for the hard glitches like going out of map or under map. Try to get on roofs for a while, and then move on to advanced glitches. Such barriers usually lead to roofs or other places the game developers didn't want you to go. Ask yourself, "I wonder if there is a way to get up there." Consider what your game character might be able to use to get there, such as barrels, vines, tree branches, bouncing kangaroos, whatever! Give it all a go––you never know until you've tried. Most glitches happen in areas you're not meant to be playing. Games testing occurs with a focus on playing the game "correctly", following a set sequence with expected outcomes. You can turn this on its head by playing it the opposite of what may have been intended, such as approaching things from a different direction or angle, trying to invert the usual things or...

If you can hear sound from your headphones after resetting the phone, there might be debris in the headphone port.  This debris might be sending a false signal to the phone that the headphones are plugged in, thus preventing sound from playing from the speakers.  Disconnect your headphones from your iPhone prior to cleaning the headphone port. Remove the cotton from one end of the cotton swab by pinching one end with your thumb and forefinger, then pulling your hands apart to remove the balled cotton.  Once removed, discard the cotton.  Pinch the same end again, loosely this time.  Roll the cotton swab along its axis to spool some of the loose cotton upon itself.  Put the cotton swab in the headphone jack.  Gently guide the narrow end of the cotton swab into the headphone jack.  Turn the cotton swab around a few times, then remove it.  Test the speakers to see if they work.  Scrubbing the headphone jack with a cotton swab is the easiest and most common way to clean the headphone port. Do not dampen the end of the cotton swab with water or rubbing alcohol.  This could damage your iPhone. Lay the phone on a flat surface.  Place the phone in such a position that its headphone port faces you.  Aim the canned air nozzle at the headphone port from the distance recommended by the canned air’s directions label.  Squeeze briefly, then release the handle.  Canned oxygen is a common tool used to clean PC parts, and you should be able to buy some at your local computer or electronics shop. If these steps don't fix the headphone jack on your iPhone, check inside the jack to make sure there are no foreign objects lodged there. Stuck objects may need to be carefully removed using a long, skinny tool like a paperclip or straw.

If you can listen to music at work, why not put on some tunes that will get your heart pumping and make you want to dance? It's a surefire way to beat the mid-afternoon slump. Your body responds naturally to changes in light, so if it's unnaturally dark where you're working or sleeping it may make staying alert a lot harder.  Conversely, if you keep on too many lights, your body won’t be able to tell when it’s truly tired -- and it will need more rest as you’re quitting caffeine. Try keeping your blinds open a bit so you'll wake up naturally in the morning or adding a few extra low lights to your workspace to keep you from feeling sleepy throughout the day. Slumping down at your desk isn't doing you any favors in the alertness category. Sitting up, in an ergonomically friendly way, can make you feel more alert and ready to work. Consider standing up while you work or bring a yoga ball to the office to sit on.  Why not include a sit-in workout to increase your energy level?

If you can live with the annoyance of unlisted numbers ringing you up all the time, one of your easiest options is to simply pay no attention to them. Put your phone on silent, or decline the call with the push of a button and continue going about your day as usual. This may be the most straightforward solution for those who are only the target of the occasional robocall violation.  Some people are rarely or never bugged by automated calls. It may be worth it for these lucky folks to just disregard the annoyance. Get in the habit of ignoring all calls from numbers you don’t recognize. Unless you have to list your phone number on a certain form or application, don’t. By putting down your number willingly, you might be either expressly or implicitly agreeing to surrender it for sales purposes, and you never know where it will end up.  Withhold your number any time you’re told that it will be used to inform you of “special offers,” or when you think it might be used for promotional reasons. If you have the option, provide another piece of contact info, such as a personal email address, instead of your phone number. Emails are less intrusive and easier to deal with than repeated calls. Take a close look at the fine print of emails and documents and see what they say about your right to privacy. Oftentimes, people give out their phone numbers with no understanding of what they might be used for, and are then dismayed when they’re confronted with voice messages about low-interest credit card rates. Signing one of these documents gives the issuer written permission to route automated calls to your number.  The reason you get so many robocall may be because you unwittingly agreed to them them at an earlier time. Beware of providing your phone number to solicitors, shopping websites, or any time you schedule a particular service. The next time you get an automated call, listen until the end to see if there’s an extension you can call about having your number removed from whatever list you’re on. If not, call the...

If you can move around after your fall, look for people nearby who may have seen the fall. Ask them if they would be willing to make a brief statement about what they saw. Write down the statements and contact information for each witness.  If any friends or family are present at the time, ask them to look for witnesses on your behalf. Witness testimony is very helpful in proving your case. Third-party witnesses are not invested in the outcome of the case, which makes their testimony more convincing to judges and jurors in the event of a trial. Objective witnesses can also mean larger settlements to avoid trial. Take photos from a variety of angles as soon after the incident as possible. For example, take the photos at night if you fell at night. You're trying to recreate the environment of the fall.   If you are hospitalized or in too much pain, ask a friend or family member to return and photograph the area for you. For dangerous conditions such as a faulty railing, the owner will likely fix the problem immediately after the incident. Get the pictures as soon as possible. Even if your injuries aren't severe, you should still see a doctor. Most slip and fall injuries are not immediately visible, but your doctor will know what to look for. Your doctor visit will also create useful medical documentation.  Keep records of any follow-up appointments or treatments, including physical rehabilitation. Medical documentation provides a link of causation between the accident and your injury. You must prove that the injuries resulted from the fall and were not preexisting to win a settlement. Even injuries made worse by the fall may receive a lower settlement than injuries that did not exist prior to the fall. Choose a traditional M.D. as opposed to an alternative medical practitioner or a chiropractor. Their statements hold up better in court and with insurance companies. Again, try to do this immediately after you fall. Since many slip and fall accidents result in bruising, regularly photograph your injury over the...

If you can mow your own lawn, and all the lawns that surround your parents' house, you're in good shape.

The closer together the yards, the easier your job is. Elderly neighbors will be the most willing to hire young kids to do this. . One great way to make money in the summer months is to ask as many of your neighbors as you can if you can mow their lawn for them. Lawn-mowing can be a serious hassle, and you can make some serious money doing it in your spare time.

In some cases, people might want you to use their equipment, if it's available. If you can use their lawn mower, all the better. Set aside some money for materials. You'll need to pay to have the gas tank filled and ready to go, if you're mowing lawns. Or, see if your parents won't help you pay for gas. . In late summer and early fall, you'll start mowing less and less, but your clients will need other things done around the yard.

If you can prevent an encounter with a bear, the rest of the steps are unnecessary. Bears are reclusive creatures, and they generally prefer to steer clear of humans. You can help them to do so by announcing your presence when you're exploring their home environment: talk loudly, sing, or carry "bear bells" so bears have time to escape you.  There are very few records of bears ever attacking a group of people, so stick together. When alone, making noise or having a bear bell is a near essential, especially if there have been reports of bears nearby. If you see bear tracks, make a detour or leave the area. Avoid surprising bears -- if you see one in the distance, keep your ground and stay away. Let the bear move on before proceeding. If a bear changes its behavior because of you, then you are too close.  When you actually see a bear, you want to reduce your noise. Be calm and quiet, letting it stay about its business. This is especially important with young, "harmless" bears. A mother may be nearby, which can spell big trouble. Even if bears seem sick or hurt, stay clear and call a ranger. Bears will defend two things -- their young, and their most recent meal. If you find any carcasses, especially fresh ones, give them a wide berth and immediately leave the area. Bears know a lot better than to mess with humans, and they will rarely see you as a food source. But your dogs may not be so fortunate, especially if they regard the bear as a threat. No matter how well you think your dog is trained, leave it at home when traveling in bear country. If you must have your pet with you, make sure they are leashed -- no exceptions. Come prepared to both avoid bears and deal with them in the rare case that they become agitated. Remember that, when camping, both food and food waste need to be contained, as the smell of wrappers and remains can attract the animals. Bears are not quite as unpredictable as everyone claims they are. Like humans, they have a variety of maneuvers and body language ticks that can help you read...

If you can prove that you’re witty and capable of snappy answers and fun banter, the girl will be impressed by your flirting style. Show her that you can play ball by knowing how to make punchy or clever remarks at the right moment. Here are some great ways to impress the girl with your wit:  Show that you can keep up the banter. If she's firing a sarcastic or clever comment at you, fire one back. Be original. Part of being witty is finding a new way to think about old topics. Don't tell her something any guy could say. Understand your audience. If the girl is really smart and clever, you can make a sophisticated reference in an unusual way. But if she doesn't seem as well-read, don't try to impress her with your knowledge, or she won't get it.

If you can reach the lowest branch, grip it with one hand and wrap the other arm around the trunk. Place your feet on a sturdy gnarl, or grip the sides of the trunk with your thighs and calves. If the branch is too high to reach easily, try these advanced techniques instead:  If you need to jump to grab the branch, do so right next to the trunk. See the next step for advice on how to get on top of the branch. If you have strong legs, you can climb trees with a higher lowest branch. Run with moderate speed at the trunk. Plant the ball of your dominant foot on the tree and push upward against the tree while jumping with the other foot. Throw your arms up to catch the branch, or use one arm to grab the trunk and one to grab the branch. Now you're holding the branch from underneath. Depending on the height of the branch and the number of nearby footholds, you may be able to get on top of it just by pulling yourself up. Here are a couple techniques that help with more challenging trees:  Pull Up: Pull yourself up so both biceps and forearms are resting on the branch. Swing and lift to get your elbows up on the branch, or all the way to your lower stomach if you have enough upper body strength. Swing your legs up to straddle the branch. Leg Swing: Grip the branch with both hands. Swing one leg up and over the branch. Wrap your arms around the branch so your biceps are on top. Swing your free leg backwards while pressing down with your biceps to swing yourself on top of the branch. If you can't reach any branches at all, try the coconut palm techniques until you reach the lowest branch. Once you're on top of a large branch, look for a secure route to the next one. Grip branches as close to the trunk as possible. If a branch is less than 3 inches (7.5 cm) in diameter, do not use it for more than one limb.

If you can see a cactus needle clearly, grip the end of it with a pair of tweezers and pull it out. To avoid snapping the needle, do your best to remove it in a single, straight motion. If the needle gets buried deep under your skin, locate the tip furthest away from the entry wound and gently push it out. Glochids are thin, hairlike cactus needles that are shorter and less rigid than regular cactus spines. To remove them, put on protective gardening gloves and wad up a pair of nylon pantyhose. Then, rub the hose against the affected area to pull out the glochids. When dealing with glochids, nylon hose provides all the adhesive power of duct tape without causing any unwanted skin irritation. Using a cotton swab, tongue depressor, or other small applicator, apply a large amount of rubber cement to the pierced area. Let the adhesive dry, then pull the edges of the cement up slowly and carefully. Repeat the process multiple times to remove as many needles as possible.  Your drying time will vary based on which brand of rubber cement you use. You may feel some slight pain as the adhesive dries. To combat this, take a standard dose of an over-the-counter painkiller like acetaminophen. After removing the cactus needles from your skin, clean the pierced area with fresh water for 5 to 10 minutes. Once you’ve removed as much dirt and debris as you can, apply antibiotic cream to the wound and cover the entire affected area with gauze wrap or a bandage.  For safety, wash your hands with antibacterial soap before cleaning the wound. If you see any cactus hairs in the wound site, pick them out using tweezers sterilized with antibacterial soap. Until the wound heals, change your bandage at least once a day or whenever it becomes dirty or wet. Visit a doctor if you can’t get cactus needles out of your arms, legs, or any other non-sensitive areas of your body. If you get cactus needles stuck in your neck, throat, or any other sensitive spots that you can’t easily remove them from, head to the emergency room as soon as...

If you can suggest a possible cause of your friend’s odor—even if it’s a white lie—it might help him or her feel like you’re being helpful rather than just critical. Some possibilities include:  Bad breath could be caused by certain foods, such as garlic. Food odors might also linger on clothing. Try saying something like: “Wow, that pizza must have been heavy on the garlic, because I can kind of smell it on you. When that happens to me, I make sure to wear X kind of deodorant.” Synthetic fabrics like nylon can retain moisture and odor more than natural fibers like cotton and wool. If your friend is wearing synthetic fabrics, mention the odor problem and say that it happens to you when you wear fabrics like that unless you wash them frequently, wear plenty of deodorant, etc. Many people are susceptible to body odor after hard physical labor, playing sports, or exercising.  Heat can cause people to sweat, which can contribute to body odor. Say the problem might be caused by the weather, if it is really hot and/or humid. Some people sweat more when they're nervous. Suggest that maybe your friend is stressed about something, and that is causing sweating and an odor problem. Remember that certain illnesses and medications can cause body odor. Since health can be another sensitive issue, you might not want to discuss these causes as a possibility unless your friend brings it up first. People are very often unaware of their own smell, whether it is good or bad. Mentioning to your friend that it’s not his or her fault if he or she wasn’t aware of the odor problem shows sympathy and can make the talk easier. You can mention again that it has happened to you, too. If a person thinks that everyone has noticed the odor and has been talking about it, things can become very awkward. If you are direct and kind with your friend, there may be no need to tell him or her whether or not others have noticed the smell. In some cases, you can give your friend direct help with his or her odor problem. For instance, you can offer...

Offer a possible cause. Tell your friend you know he or she might not be aware of the problem. Don’t tell your friend if others have complained. Offer a solution. End the discussion on a positive note.


If you can take the pill, then you can most likely take one of these as well. Several brands allow most women to have only 4 periods a year, having 84 active and 7 inactive pills in each pack. There is also one pill that can be taken for an entire year with a continuous level of hormones, offering the possibility of having no periods at all during that time.  They appear to have similar health risks as the regular pill, but there have been no long term studies to support this yet.  Side effects can include breakthrough bleeding for up to a year.  Essentially, this is your body experiencing an unpredictable and irregular period while adjusting to hormones.  Typically, bleeding subsides after a year of usage.  To shorten symptoms from hormone withdrawal, your doctor may suggest taking only 3 or 4 days of inactive pills, instead of all 7. Both work similarly to the pill, but are easier to use since they only have to be changed every three weeks.  These are good choices for women who can’t remember to take a daily medicine because less user error is involved. Wear up to three in a row for a total of 9 weeks. You should never go more than 9 weeks without taking at least a few days off. Depo-Provera is injectable synthetic progesterone administered by your health care professional every twelve weeks.  It prevents menstruation during that time and can even stop it if the first dose is given within 5 days of your menstrual cycle. However, this method is less reliable for stopping your period so it may not be a good first choice.   Some women experience spotting in the beginning, but this usually subsides with time. At least half of users report having no period after the first year.  Side effects can also include headaches, depression, acne, weight gain, hair loss and decreased sex drive.  Long-term use may lead to osteoporosis.  Talk with your doctor to determine if the shot is a good option for you.

If you can't afford an HD capture device, you can use any camcorder, webcam, or even your smartphone to record your TV's display. Since you're going to be recording "off-screen" with this method, you're never going to have perfect quality. Instead, you'll want to focus on minimizing the amount of outside distractions by setting up the camera so that the screen takes the entire frame and ensuring that it's steady. You can use a tripod for this, or find a level surface that gives your device a good view of the TV display. Try to fit the entire TV display so that it fills up the camera's frame. Use the camera's Focus tools to ensure that the picture from the TV is as clear as possible. If you're using a digital device like your smartphone, be aware that video can take up a lot of space.

If you can't find a friend who is interested in trading massages, use the internet to locate a free massage. Start with the search term "free massage resources" and look for trusted sources. Be cautious when conducting a broad search online and avoid "adult services." There are a wide range of massages offered in what is known as massage exchange groups. However, be careful not to get involved in illegal activities camouflaged as massage services.  Never meet someone that you found online in a private place. Always meet people at a public location to discuss services. Make sure you are comfortable with each other before making any future plans. Bring along a friend for safety purposes. If you feel uncomfortable, leave immediately. If you decide to meet at a massage studio, research the person and the premises before you go. A Google search will sometimes yield helpful information. If you ever feel the slightest bit of discomfort about the situation, don't go. Sometimes there is a membership fee for using a massage exchange website. Use the phrase “win a free massage” to search for contests. Enter as many contests as you can find. Most licensed massage facilities offer gift cards. Request a gift card for your birthday or for a holiday gift from your friends and family members. These gift cards can be costly, so you probably should not expect to receive them often.

If you can't find a matching color, choose a neutral color that is a similar shade. For example, if you have a dark blue shirt, and you can't find any dark blue bias tape, get black bias tape. If you have a light blue shirt, and can't find any matching bias tape, get some light grey bias tape instead. This method works great on shirts that you are sewing from scratch! How much longer you cut it depends on the width of your bias tape. This will typically be about ½ inch (1.27 centimeters). Make sure that you are pinning the right side of the bias tape to the right side of the shirt. You will eventually be folding the bias tape inside the shirt. Leave about 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) of extra bias tape to either side of the shirt. Use the crease along the bottom fold of the bias tape as a guide. Fold the bias tape down first, then fold it inside your shirt. The raw edges should now be under the bias tape. The bias tape also should not be visible from the outside. The seam between the bias tape and the shirt will be right along the bottom edge of the shirt. Use a heat setting that is suitable for the material you are working with. Each fabric will require a different heat setting. If you'd like, you can clip the corner of the bias tape first to reduce bulk. Sew with the inside of the shirt facing you, so that you can get as close to the top edge of the bias tape as possible. Use a bobbin thread that matches your shirt color, and a sewing thread that matches your bias tape color.  Remember to sew back and forth a few times at the start and end of the shirt. Pull out the pins as you go. Your shirt is now ready to wear!

Get some single-fold bias tape that closely matches the color of your shirt. Cut your shirt a little bit longer than you want it to be. Unfold one edge of the tape, and pin it to the bottom edge of your shirt. Sew the bias tape to your shirt using a straight stitch. Fold the bias tape to the inside of your shirt. Press the hem flat with an iron. Tuck the excess bias tape into the hem, and press it flat with an iron. Secure everything in place with sewing pins, then sew the bias tape down using a straight stitch. Give the shirt hem a final press, and snip off any excess or loose threads.


If you can't find a type of wire you like at a craft store, you can also use earring hooks. Earring hooks are fairly cheap and available for purchase at most craft stores. You'll also need a pair of pliers. You can also use a barbell earring to make a fake barbell piercing. If you're going this route, get a pair of barbell earrings instead of earring hooks. Barbell septum piercings are piercings with large studs on either end rather than curved edges. You can get a barbell earring, which is an earring shaped something like a barbell, and use pliers to create a curve. This will give you a fun barbell septum piercing to wear. Barbell earrings may require a lot of force to manipulate. It may take you awhile to get the right shape if you're using this method.

If you can't find an area outdoors off of the soil, you can easily elevate firewood using 2 by 4 boards. You can buy boards at any hardware store and create a quick storage area for your firewood.  Lay the boards on the ground about 15 inches apart. Lay down as many rows of boards as you need to stack all your firewood. Lay your firewood over the boards, keeping them parallel to the boards. The boards should elevate the firewood off the ground slightly, preventing it from touching the soil. You should always lay a tarp down over your firewood. You can buy a tarp at any hardware store. Simply lay the tarp over the firewood and tie it down to secure it. You can also weigh the tarp down with something like bricks. It's important to allow for some air circulation, as you don't want your firewood to get too dry. You should leave the sides of your stack open to allow for airflow. When stacking firewood, make sure to do so effectively. Stacking your firewood incorrectly can cause it to rot quicker.  You should always stack your firewood rather than throwing it in a pile. This will promote air circulation and keep firewood from drying out. Never stack firewood against a wall when stacking it outdoors. This can leave firewood vulnerable to moisture and bacteria. Always leave a few inches of space between your firewood and a wall. Never place firewood against the side of a wooden structure, including your house, because this will invite termites and carpenter ants to feast on your home.

If you can't find one, you can use a Styrofoam ball instead, then do the following:  Use a saw or serrated knife to cut the bottom off of the ball so that it will sit flat and not roll around. Use a knife or a pair of scissors to drill a hole in the top of the ball for the stem. Fill the hole with some hot glue, then insert a short wooden stick; you can also use a cork. You can use any color of yarn you want for this, but you might make your pumpkin look more recognizable if you use orange. You can also use any weight yarn for this project, including chunky! Make sure that each round of yarn is touching so that no pumpkin (or Styrofoam) is showing. Also, be sure to place some glue into the grooves of the pumpkin to enhance their rippled shape. There are lots of different ways you can wrap your pumpkin:  Wrap the pumpkin vertically, from base to stem. Use a separate piece of yarn for each wrap. Wrap the pumpkin horizontally in a spiral from bottom to top, using one, long piece of yarn. Wrap the yarn in triangular-shape spirals around the pumpkin. Although not necessary, this can give your pumpkin a nice, consistent look. Use a drop of hot glue at the base and tip of the stem to secure the yarn.  For a rustic look, try jute cord instead. If you made your pumpkin out of a Styrofoam ball, consider leaving the cork or stick stem bare for a more rustic look. Trim off any loose bits of yarn, and glue down any bits that stick up. Set your pumpkin down some place visible so that you can take pride in your work!

If you can't reset your iPod no matter what you do, you may need to restore it. Restoring your iPod will erase all of the data, but you can load an old backup so that you don't have to start over from scratch. If your device does not appear in iTunes, even though it is plugged in, you may need to enable Recovery Mode. You will need to unplug your iPod from your computer to enter Recovery Mode. See this guide for detailed instructions. If your iPod is recognized by iTunes, continue to the next step. Select your iPod and find the "Back Up Now" button in the Backups section. This will allow you to back up your settings, apps, and pictures to your computer before you restore your iPod.

If you can't seem to get to sleep by counting sheep, you may want to try doing a meditation exercise that uses deep breathing as you lay on your back in bed. This can help to calm and relax you into a deep sleep.  Start by inhaling and exhaling deeply through your nose, breathing from your diaphragm, which is just under your ribs. As you inhale, think about relaxing all your muscles, from head to toe. As you exhale, imagine you are sinking deeper into your bed. Continue to do this, breathing deeply in and out. You may also want to imagine a calm, relaxing scene like a falling waterfall or a tropical beach to help calm your mind and body for rest. These exercises can help your body to relax and help you get to sleep faster. Clenching and releasing your muscles can act as a form of meditation.  Begin by clenching your upper body, including your neck, your fingers, your hands, your arms, and your abdominals. Then, clench your lower body, including your legs, your feet, and your toes. Inhale as you clench all your muscles. Then, exhale and slowly release all of your muscles, relaxing your entire body. You should feel a sense of peace and calm as you release your muscles into your bed. If you struggle with distractions around you at night, you may want to block out any light from the windows with a sleep mask. You can use a thin scarf or buy a sleep mask from your local drugstore. You may also want to use ear plugs to block out any noise around you. You can find soft, comfortable ear plugs at your local drugstore. If you are struggling to fall asleep, you may want to try to do a relaxing, quiet activity like listening to ambient music with headphones while you lay in bed. You can look up sleep mixes online that are designed to help your brain relax or create your own music mix using some of your favorite slow jams. Sleep sound machines are designed to help you get a full night's rest by using sleep sounds that you can customize to fit your ideal ambient sounds.

If you can't stand the idea of cutting up a comic book, consider using comic-printed scrapbook paper or comic-themed wrapping paper. The best heels to use for this project are ones that are made out of fabric or suede becuase the Mod Podge will stick to them better. If your heels are made out of patent leather, or a similar shiny material, light buff them with fine-grit sand paper or an emery board instead; this will give the Mod Podge something to stick to. If there are any embellishments on your shoes, be sure to cut them off; you can always glue them back on later. Go through your book, and look for various characters, scenes, sound effects, and speech bubbles that you want to put on your shoes. Many comic book shoes also have "statement" images. These are images that are a little larger than the rest, and are meant to stand out. You can cut them down further into various shapes as well, such as squares, rectangles, and triangles. Make sure that you have some small and large shapes. This will make fitting them into the contours of your shoes a lot easier and reduce wrinkles. Make sure that the pieces you cut are no bigger than 1 inch (2.54 centimeters).  If you are cutting out statement images, make sure that you follow their outlines. For example, if you want to cut out an image of Wonder Woman's head, make sure that you follow the outline of her hair, face, and neck. A craft blade or tiny pair of scissors would be best for this.  Consider separating your shapes into groups based on size or color. This will make it easier to find the pieces you need for your design. Only put down enough glue to apply 2 to 3 comic book scraps. Depending on the material you are working with, the may dry within minutes. Working in small patches at a time will prevent the glue from drying out too quickly. You can use any type of decoupage glue you want, but make sure that it is waterproof. This will make the paper extra-damp and pliable. It will be easier to smooth the paper over the curves of your shoe. Make sure that you...

Place the comic book scrap onto your shoe, and smooth it down with another thin coat of decoupage glue. Continue gluing down your comic book scraps in a similar fashion. Inspect your shoes, then clean them up, if needed. Add your statement images, if desired. Add 2 to 3 more coats of decoupage glue. Wear your shoes.


If you can't take it anymore – don't. There is much to be said for the tactful approach of ignoring haters, but avoidance doesn't always resolve the problem. Find a moment to speak honestly with these people, and try to explain where you're coming from. Speak with each hater as a mature and conscious equal; you cannot use the language of hatred to end hate.  Say, "I've been getting a lot of negative energy from you recently. I'd appreciate it if you kept those thoughts to yourself, or even tried to understand my perspective. I don't want to have to deal with this anymore." Try to understand why they are acting this way. Say, "Have I done something to personally wrong you? You seem to be taking a lot of negativity out on me, and I don't understand why." Haters feed on your emotions. If you respond quickly and emotionally, there's a good chance that you won't be able to make a strong point, and you will only give them more reason to make fun of you. Do not let your words be clouded by anger and frustration. Give yourself the time to cool down before you respond. Resolve conflict with measured words and confident maturity. If hatred is fire: be water. Be cool, collected, and healing. When you fight fire with fire, you usually just wind up with a really big fire. That said: sometimes, fighting back physically and decisively can put a stop to the situation. If you do decide to take this route, do so with full awareness of the consequences. Know that violence begets violence, and that you might make the problem much worse by opening that door. The Internet can be a wide and wonderful place, and it can provide an intoxicating degree of anonymity. Some people use this anonymity to snipe at others from behind a computer keyboard.

If you can't think of what went wrong in the relationship because you smothered her with love, then chances are that this was exactly what went wrong. She must have felt that your love and relationship was too easy, so you should try to make it more of a challenge.  Be aloof. You should still give her some attention, but act busy or distracted and like you're not giving all your attention to her for once. This will confuse her and will make her want you more. Be sparing with the compliments. If you did nothing but compliment her 24/7 when you were together, give her just one compliment to show that you're not obsessing over her. Let her come to you. She was probably used to having you come up to her, touch her, and talk to her all the time; now, it's time for some role reversal. If you're at a party, let her approach you instead of stopping everything you're doing to head her way. If you broke up because she felt that you didn't give her enough affection or time or that you spent too much time flirting with other women, it's time to do the exact opposite and to make yourself available to her and have no other women on your radar.  Show her that your schedule is free and that you're up for hanging out whenever. She'll no longer have to hang out with you during the one hour you're free. Don't make her jealous. In your case, you should stay away from the other ladies as much as possible to show that you only have eyes for her. Take the time to listen. If she thought you didn't care about her feelings before, maintain eye contact and let her talk without interrupting. You can mention something she said in the conversation a day later to show that you really do hang on to her every word. Compliment her. If you never complimented her before, she'll see that you changed. If you really want her back, you have to be the man and apologize for what went wrong. If she was hurt by you, she'll want to stay away from you for fear of getting hurt again. So man up and tell her you made a mistake.  Make sure to do this in...

If you can't wrap your arms around the person, or if they've fallen, get them on their back. Gently instruct the person to turn on their back and help them as necessary. Get on you knees and position yourself on top of the person. Kneel over the person, hovering just above their hips. Place one hand on top of the other. Place the heel of the bottom hand on the person's abdomen. This is the area just below the ribcage but above the navel. Using your bodyweight, press your hands into the person's abdomen with a slight upward motion. Repeat doing thrusts until the object is expelled from the person's throat. If you're unable to expel the object using the Heimlich, call emergency services. If someone is choking and you are unable to help, medical professionals will be needed to remove the unwanted object. When they arrive, answer any questions they have and allow them to help the person.

If you can, avoid styling with heat products. Heat can cause damage to your hair if you use it too much. Also avoid brushing wet hair. Wet hair is much more easily damaged than dry hair. Try using your fingers to remove tangles, as this may actually help strengthen your hair. Your hair actually contains natural oils that are stripped when you wash them. When the oils pile up, your hair gets oily which is not desired. But stripping your hair of its natural oils every day is equally as harmful to your scalp. You should still clean your hair while you shower every day. Every now and then, you should bypass the shampooing process and focus on just water and friction from your hands, or solely conditioning. Maintain your hair's new silky smoothness by continuing the milk-conditioning process consistently. This can repair your hair over time and leave your hair deep-conditioned for longer. There may be a time for a week or so after you stop using harsh chemical conditioner that your hair feels funky or oily. If you continue using milk conditioner, this transition period should go away.

Style as usual. Do not use product on your hair daily. Continue using milk as a conditioner.


If you can, get a friend or someone else to help you. Use a long measuring tape. If your roof is rectangular or square on either side, it's easy to work out the measurements. Measure the length and width and multiply them to find the area of the roof.  If your roof is not uniform and has different sections of different sizes, measure 1 section at a time. Multiply each length and width to find the area of each section. Add the section areas together to find the total area of the roof. Get an extra 5-10% of material to account for overhangs and overlap. Go to your local hardware or building supplies store and ask for enough rolled roofing to fit the area of your roof. Rolled roofing comes in rolls, much like carpet. You can cut the roll to fit corners and other areas. For safety purposes, it's a good idea to have someone with you when you're walking around on a roof. Never go up on your roof when it's wet or if rain is forecast. Roofs become very slippery when wet. Even when it's dry, watch your footing and move slowly when walking on a slanted roof. Wear footwear with proper grip on the soles. Don't go up on your roof with canvas shoes or sneakers on. Before you apply your rolled roofing, you should make sure it's free of excess dirt, grime, or any other substance. Use a brush to sweep away any leaves and dirt or use a leaf blower to blow debris from the top down to the edges. If you can, hose down the roof from the ground or a ladder.  Wear long pants, work gloves, and shoes with deep ridges so they have a good grip. Never go on top of the roof to hose it. Hose it from a safe area where you are in no danger of falling from the roof. Make sure your roof is completely dry before installing your roofing. Have a friend with you to help or alert other people in case you lose your footing on the roof. If you have gutters, clear them out with gloves and a bucket. So you don't get confused later in the process, it's a good idea to take stock of all your items before you start. Roll out the roofing sheets and lay them...

Measure your roof to find out how much material you need. Purchase the appropriate amount of rolled roofing. Take proper safety precautions when you're on your roof. Clean the roof before starting the roofing. Lay all of your materials out on the floor.


If you can, it is better to wait 2 to 3 days. This way, the clear coat will be totally cured and ready to blend. It is best not to drive your car during this period. However, if you need to drive your car, it should be fine as long as the clear coat is dry. Wet a soft sponge with water. Wipe the area to remove any dirt and dust that may have accumulated on your car. Dry the area with a clean microfiber cloth until it is completely dry. Dip a piece 1500-grit sandpaper in water. Gently sand the clear coat line. Sand the area until the line is noticeably reduced. After you finish sanding, wipe the area dry with a microfiber cloth. Avoid sanding too much as this may remove the new clear coat. Squeeze 3 to 5 drops of a medium-grit rubbing compound onto the area. Fit a wool pad onto the polisher. Set the polisher on the lowest setting. Polish the area in the direction that you applied the clear coat. You want to avoid polishing against the clear coat as this may cause it to peel. Polish the car until it shines, about 3 to 5 minutes.  You can purchase a rubbing compound, polisher, and wool pad from your local auto supply store. You may be able to rent a polisher from your local auto supply store. Gently wipe the surface to remove any accumulated dust and dirt. Avoid washing your car after you polish it since the soap and water may remove the polishing oils.

Wait at least 48 hours before you start blending. Clean the blending area with water. Wet sand the blending area. Polish the area. Wipe the surface of the car with a microfiber cloth.


If you can, pick a subject you enjoy. Speak on topics you know well. Even if you are delivering dreary statistics about last year's crop failure, put something of yourself into your speech by explaining why you are interested in the topic. Practice and preparation are easier if your subject matter is important or enjoyable to you. If you think your material is interesting and meaningful, your audience will catch your enthusiasm and appreciate your sincerity. For instance, if you are interested in a complex scientific theory, your enthusiasm can make a speech about this theory more engaging and can clarify why the theory is important for an audience. It's important to know your topic well when you are giving a speech. If not, you could get embarrassed in front of the audience if your content is not correct. Also, if you don't know your subject well, you could be asked questions after the speech that you can't answer.  When researching your topic, its important to do preliminary work to understand the basic subject overall but then focus in on a specific subject you can talk about. For instance, if you may want to talk about Shakespeare's plays you should know general information about them overall but you should narrow your focus to 1 or 2 of his plays for your speech. Also think about questions that might be asked about your subject. Preparing answers to likely questions will make you feel more prepared, and thus less nervous. Also prepare an "I don't know" answer if people will be asking questions. You can say something like, "That is a great question. I'll look into that." If you are nervous about giving a speech, it may be tempting to procrastinate and wait until the last minute to write it. However, giving yourself time to edit and practice the speech will help you overcome your nervousness.  If you are giving a short speech in class, consider writing it a week ahead of time. This will give you a few days to edit it and a few days to practice the final draft. If you are giving a long speech in front of...

If you can, take advantage of the sun and outdoor air. This will help dry out any dampness that’s causing mildew to form in your car. You’ll also want to dry out your mats in the sun. Since you’re dealing with mold, it’s a good idea to protect yourself. Wear a mask and latex gloves. After you’ve finished cleaning the car, thoroughly wash your hands and change your clothing. Mildew often grows in storage areas or on the floors of your car. Check the spare tire compartment, then look under all the mats. Don’t forget the trunk. You should also see if your air conditioner is leaking by feeling for damp spots on the mat that sits underneath the filter. Leave the mats out and put them in the sun to dry. Once you’ve found your mold spots, tackle them with a nylon brush. You don’t need to use any soap or water, as this could actually make the mold problem worse. Just scrub at the mold until it’s removed from all the surfaces in your car. Then vacuum up all the broken-down mold particles.  If the mold has left stains, use a carpet and upholstery stain remover. Follow the instructions on the bottle. If you’re cleaning leather, you may want to use a soft-bristled brush to avoid scratching it. Fill a spray bottle with white distilled vinegar. Spray it on the seats and any affected mats or carpeting. This will kill the mold. Leave it on there to soak in for about 10 minutes. Vinegar can be used on leather and cloth interiors. If you’re concerned that it’ll damage your car, however, spot-test a small area of the interior by putting a little vinegar on it and letting it sit for 10 minutes. Go over the entire interior with the wet/dry vac. Vacuum up the vinegar and any remaining dampness. Pay special attention to the areas where you found mold. Go to your local hardware store to find an anti-mold powder. Sprinkle it on the seats, carpeting, floors, and mats. This will kill off any remaining spores. Let it sit for about five minutes, then vacuum it up. The baking soda will absorb the rest of the moisture. Allow it to sit on...

Park your car in a sunny spot. Wear a protective mask and gloves while cleaning. Remove mats and check for dampness. Scrub off mold with a nylon brush. Spray the seats with white distilled vinegar. Vacuum the entire car with a wet/dry vac. Sprinkle an anti-mold solution on the surfaces of the car. Sprinkle baking soda to sit overnight.


If you can, try to get one with long sleeves. Any t-shirt will do, but if you have thick or long hair, you may want to get a larger t-shirt. T-shirts are made out of softer material than towels. Because they are so smooth, they snag on your hair less. This will help minimize rips, tears, and frizz. The best time to add hair products to curly, kinky, or textured hair types is when the hair is still wet. If your hair is tangled, you can gently comb it at this point. Use a wide-tooth comb, and work in small sections, starting from the ends first. Never use a brush. The arms and neck hole should be facing you, and the bottom hem should be facing away from you. Try to get your hair as centered as possible. Your hair should be right between the shirt and the top of your head. You want your head very close to the shirt and your plopped hair, but not actually touching it. Pinch the hem between your fingers, and lift it off the table or chair. Bring it over towards your neck, and let go. The hem should be covering the entire back and nape of your head. Take the shirt by the shoulders and pull it up and against your forehead. Slide your hands along the sleeves, and hold them tightly. Pull the arms towards the back of your head. They should cross right over the shirt hem. Tie them in a tight knot. If the sleeves are long enough, you can wrap them back around your head, and tie them in a knot right above your forehead.  The sleeves of the shirt will hold your shirt-turban in place. If the sleeves are too short, try securing them with a bobby pin or a safety pin. It will take a while for your hair to dry, depending on how thick or long your hair is. Some people like to plop-dry their hair before blow-drying it the rest of the way. You can also let it dry overnight.

Find a t-shirt. Squeeze any extra moisture out of your hair and apply hair products. Spread a t-shirt out on a chair or table. Lean over the shirt and plop your hair down onto the fabric. Flip the bottom hem of the shirt onto the back of your head. Pull the front part of the shirt against your forehead. Wrap the arms of the shirt around your head and tie them in a knot. Wait for your hair to dry.


If you can, try to trap the spider that bite you to determine if it is a recluse spider. You can also try to remember the appearance of the spider that bite you. A recluse spider is tan all over, with legs attached to the upper part of its body.  You don't have to catch the spider. Even taking a picture of the spider with your phone can help the medical professionals to identify the spider and treat you. This spider gets its nickname, "fiddleback", because of the unique violin-shaped marking on the back of the upper body part. The lower body part doesn't have any markings. A recluse spider has three pairs of eyes across the violin-shaped marking, rather than the two rows of four eyes that most U.S. spiders have. When you are first bitten, you may not feel anything. Within hours of the bite, you may feel mild burning or irritation in or around the bite wound. You may also have the following symptoms:  Severe swelling and pain at the bite site. A blister may develop that is blue in the center and ringed by redness, like a bull’s eye. The blister may then burst, and the area will enlarge into an ulcer that extends deep into the tissue. A pimple-like lesion with yellow or green pus. A rash around the bite site that itches. Your urine may appear dark in color. You may also experience fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, seizures, or joint pain. Like other spider bites, a recluse (fiddleback) spider bite will leave a small red mark. Unlike other spider bites, soon after the bite, a small white blister will appear and the tissue around the bite will become hard. The bite will then turn into a lesion that is blue-gray or blue-white, with ragged edges surrounded by redness. If left untreated, the skin around the recluse spider bite can become gangrenous, and develop into a large open wound. Brown recluse spiders like dark, sheltered areas, like under porches, in woodpiles, basements, closets, and under sinks. Consider if you were in any of these areas when you were bitten. Though the brown recluse spider can be found all...

Find the spider that bit you, if possible. Recognize the symptoms of a brown recluse bite. Understand where these spiders are often found.


If you cannot create or stay with a rhythm, you will get stressed out. Dishwashers must handle just about any dish from the different sections of the restaurant: Servers and bussers may give you the typical plates, glasses, and utensils; the cooks might give you pans and pots; and the prep cooks may give you prep pans, cutting boards, whisks, and bowls. The sprayer will stop a lot of food from entering the machine, since you are pre-rinsing them. Avoid spending too much time on one rack, though. Establish the rhythm of going back and forth.—You should spend only a few seconds on a rack before pushing it. You could possibly get away using an abrasive wire sponge on a charred and greasy pan, but use a non-abrasive scrub on ceramic dishes.  If you have an automatic dishwasher, push the item through the machine and allow the hot water loosen the food from the dish. If you are required to wash by hand, add hot, soapy water to the dish and set it aside for a few minutes to allow it to soak. Never think the machine is going to do all the work for you. As you do your job, make a mental list of foods that needs to be scrubbed off in their entirety before putting sending the dish through the machine. Some foods include:  Melted cheese  Clam chowder and other chunky soups Egg yolk Sauces Mashed potatoes Cooks likely have a limited amount of saute pans to work with, so, if they need you to clean them, that should be your first priority.—The other dishes will have to be queued behind the high-priority dish of the moment.  Maintain focus on other important things used in the restaurant, such as bread holders for servers and key utensils used by the prep cooks. Always keep an eye on the silverware: Knives are given out with meat dishes, bread, and baked potatoes; spoons are given out with coffee, ice cream, and other desserts. It's frustrating beyond belief to do so, but put yourself in a diner's view. - You would like the best and most enjoyable meal when you dine out, but what if you found your meal came on a plate with a...

If you cannot find the vein in the inside of the elbow in either arm, look for another one.  Move down the forearm looking for the basilic vein or cephalic vein. These veins may also be visible through the skin. Have the patient lower their arm and make a fist to make the veins more obvious. The cephalic vein runs along the radial side of the forearm. The basilic vein runs along the ulnar side. The basilic vein is less frequently used than the cephalic. It is more likely to roll away from the needle than the cephalic vein because it is not held as tightly in place by the tissues around it. If no veins can be accessed, find the metacarpal veins on the back of the hands. They are usually very visible and can be palpated. They should not be used for elderly patients because the skin is not as supple and does not support the veins as well. In addition, the veins themselves become more fragile. Do not draw blood from areas that:  Are near an infection Have scarring Have a healed burn Are on an arm that is on the same side as where the patient had a mastectomy or fistula placed Are bruised Are above an IV line Are on an arm where the patient has a cannula, fistula, or vascular graft Occasionally, you may encounter problems with the needle, such as going too far into the tissues or inserting it at too low of an angle (so the bevel is against the wall of the vein and impedes blood flow).  Pull the needle back a little bit without removing it from the skin. Change the angle of the needle while it is still under the skin so that it can be inserted into the vein. Protocol in many laboratories dictates that phlebotomists must attempt a venipuncture two times, and to have another person do it if both attempts are unsuccessful.

Look for another vein if the median cubital vein is not visible. Notice sites to avoid. Correct improper needle placement. Give up and have a colleague do the procedure if your second attempt fails.


If you cannot personally find anyone who has written a birth plan, you can rely on anonymous sources such as pregnancy books or pregnancy websites to assist you. If he is not familiar with birth plans, he may be able to help you locate additional sources of information. Though they may not be personally familiar with the process of writing a birth plan, they may be able to refer you to someone who is.

If you cannot turn off the electricity and the area that is on fire is still energized, the last thing you want to do it pour water on it. Water will conduct the electricity that caused the fire, creating an electrocution hazard in addition to the fire hazard.  If you are unsure whether a fire has been caused by live electricity or something else, err on the side of caution and don't use water. If you can't disconnect an appliance or cord that is smoldering, cover the whole area in baking soda. This will block the oxygen that the fire needs to keep burning while not creating an electrocution hazard like water would. Do not use flammable items to smother an electrical fire, such as a blanket. With live electricity involved, flammable items you use could easily start burning. The type of fire extinguisher you can use on a live electrical fire is very specific. An electrical fire is known as a Class C fire, and so requires a Class C fire extinguisher. A fire extinguisher marked ABC is also acceptable, as it's capable of stopping fires caused by wood/trash, liquids, and electrical equipment.  Many fire extinguishers made for home use are ABC extinguishers. Other types of extinguishers could create an electrocution hazard if used on an electrical fire because they contain liquids or chemicals that conduct electricity. In the moment of an emergency, it can be hard to remember how to operate a fire extinguisher. To make that easier, remember the term PASS and what each letter stands for:  P - PULL the silver safety pin on the handle of the extinguisher. A - AIM the hose and nozzle of the extinguisher at the fire. S - SQUEEZE the handle of the fire extinguisher slowly. S - SWEEP from left to right, making sure to get every part of the fire. Once the fire is under control enough to safely get to the electrical panel or the outlet, disconnect the power. This will help ensure that the fire is not reignited by electricity and that the risk of electrocution is eliminated.

Never use water on an electrical fire. Smother a small fire with baking soda. Use only a class C or ABC fire extinguisher. Use the fire extinguisher properly. Disconnect the electricity when possible.

If you can’t bring yourself to get rid of your cat, try making him an outside cat. This will limit your exposure to him. You can keep your cat in a cattery or cat house, located in the garden. This allows him the freedom to roam outdoors during the day. A reduction in the cat dander in the areas of the house where you spend most of your time will aid your allergies. Don't allow the cat to enter your bedroom at any time. Since you sleep here, you will breathe in cat dander all night if he/she is hanging around in there. Keep the doors shut to any rooms you don't want cats to enter. You have to keep this up at all times. Any cat dander can aggravate your allergies. Plus, the more everyone does it, the more it'll become an ingrained habit. To test if your cat is really causing your allergies, send him away to stay with someone else for a month or two. Clean your house very well when he leaves to get rid of all the dander and clean it at least once a week in case any dander remains. Track your allergy symptoms over this time period, noting how they change. If he is really the problem, you should see a change in your allergies pretty quickly. Although your cat will likely not enjoy it, you should have him bathed once a week. This can be done by a household member who isn't allergic. If you live by yourself, look into paying for a cat groomer to do it. Try to wash your cat a maximum of twice a week as washing them creates tangles in their fur and dries out their skin. Also consider using allergen reducing shampoos. These help cut down on how much dander your cat will shed on a daily basis. To cut down on shedding, brush or comb your cat's fur thoroughly each day for 10 to 15 minutes. Make sure you discard the fur after each grooming. To avoid spreading allergens inside your home, do this outside. If possible, have a non-allergic member of your household do this for you.  Grooming will improve the texture of the cat's coat,  which will help remove all sources of allergens from the cat’s spittle, any outdoor pollen...

If you can’t find the studs and you are hanging the pegboard on drywall, install wall anchors every 16 inches so that the pegboard is adequately supported. Drilling into studs is preferable, since pegboards are often used to hang heavy tools or kitchen pots and pans. Hold them horizontally across the wall and place a level on top. Adjust until it is level, and then ask a friend to hold the strip while you drill long wood screws through the furring strips and into the studs or wall anchors.  For a small pegboard, two horizontal furring strips should be adequate. For larger installations, use three or four. Drill pilot holes through the furring strips before you place them against the wall and after you level it, so that you can match the strip with the wall anchor. Ensure it is level and then get ready to mount it with help from a friend. Screw the pegboard in at regular intervals, such as six inches apart, in a horizontal line. Repeat with remaining furring strips to secure the pegboard to the wall.

Use a stud finder to mark off your wall studs. Ask a friend to help you install the furring strips. Raise the pegboard up to cover the framing strips. Screw the pegboard into the furring strips using 3/4 inch screws with washers.


If you can’t get around a hotel stay and are concerned about the itchy critters, inspect the your room for any signs of bed bugs. You shouldn't need any special tools to do this. Remove the sheet and mattress pad to inspect the four corners of the mattress and box spring. Bugs are brown with a long, oval shaped body. Most are tiny, about the size of an apple seed but they can be larger, about the size of a nickel. You should also look for black fecal matter and a musty smell. All furniture around the bed will need to be checked. This includes the headboard, nightstands and any pictures on the wall. These bugs can hide behind all of these items. During your stay, use the provided luggage racks after they’ve been inspected for bugs of course. Bugs can hide in the small crevices and climb right into your bag. Place the luggage rack away from any furniture. If the closet is large enough, keep it in there. Folding them and placing in drawers is an unnecessary risk. By hanging them, you significantly reduce your chances of having one or a few crawl into a shirt collar. Before wearing any garment, shake it out as an extra precaution. Store your dirty clothes in a bag as bed bugs can smell and are attracted to the chemical that we leave behind on our clothing. If you forget, ask the hotel to supply something like an extra trash bag. If you suspect your room has a bed bug problem, let the staff know immediately. Ask to be moved to another room as soon as possible. Do not move to an adjacent room. Request a move to another floor.

If you can’t get to a window that rolls down or if you are driving, a container in the car is a good back-up plan. If there is a grocery or garbage bag in the car, that’s usually your best option.  A large fast-food container may also work in a pinch. A shirt or jacket will work. Purses are great containers if you have time to empty one first (and are willing to throw it out later). If the container you have found is flimsy (like a paper bag), try to put it inside another container so that you don’t burst the bag when you vomit. If you can’t find a container, be prepared to vomit into the floor. Make sure there is nothing that could get soiled.  If you did find a container, you may have to put it in the floor for a while until the driver can get to a place for you to discard it. Try to hold the edges up around your face so that you don’t spill (especially if it’s a piece of clothing). If your driver can get to a garbage bin soon, you should hold on to the bag until then so that it doesn’t spill. If not, you can temporarily put it inside another container where it won’t spill or sit it in the floor. Try to wipe your hands and face if you can. Have gum, mints, or something to drink.
