If the person has really been bothering you and you don’t want to be alone with him or her, then you should get a few friends, an older sibling, or even a parent or teacher to go with you when you ask to be left alone. If you’re genuinely afraid for your own well-being, then you should make sure not to be left alone with the person when you have this difficult conversation so you can feel safe and confident.  If the person is a bully, then having your friends there with you can make a big impact on your confidence. Though you may try to settle it yourself first, if that hasn't worked, having your friends around can make a difference. Your friends or siblings should be there for support, but you should do as much of the talking as you can, to show that you can stick up for yourself. If you really need to be firm, then you shouldn’t make small talk but should come right out and say it. Just say, “Leave me alone” or “Please leave me alone from now on.” Though this won’t be pleasant, the sooner you get the message across, the better. If this is someone whom you really need to be firm with, then you shouldn’t waste time on small talk.  Look the person right in the eye and show that you’re not afraid. If you look down at the ground, then you’ll look intimidated. Speak slowly and clearly. Make sure your words are heard loud and clear. Make sure you’re saying these words in no uncertain terms. Don’t say “go away,” “not now” or “I’m busy,” but make it clear that you want to be left alone at all times, for good. Though it won’t feel great to say these words, it’ll be far better than being wishy washy and making the person think you’d be up to seeing him or her again. If you’re struggling with being direct, have the friends with you help get the message across. It should take more than a minute to say what you have to say. Just a few clear sentences on wanting to be left alone will do the trick. If the person is a bully or just not worth your time, then there’s no need to explain why you want to be left alone; that...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Consigue apoyo si lo necesitas. Dile a la persona que quieres que te deje en paz inmediatamente. Sé directo. No escuches excusas. Promete que habrá consecuencias si la persona no te hace caso.


If the person is a long-time or best friend, this is usually not the best tactic for ending the friendship completely. If you just want to step back a little (maybe going from besties to just friends, or friends to acquaintances), the gradual withdrawal can work. But if you want your oldest friend out of your life, you owe it to the friendship to have a conversation with her. Still, you may want to start the process by putting a little distance between you and her.   If the person is in your life 24/7 (you have every class together, hang out in the same group, and involved in the same activities), you probably want to try the gradual approach. Telling her point-blank that you don’t want to be friends when she’s this entangled in your life will probably make a huge mess.  If the friendship seems to be on its way out anyway (like if neither one of you seems to be able to find time for each other), just let it fade out on its own. It’s not necessary to tell her you no longer want to be friends. Don’t cut her off completely with no explanation. Gradually withdrawing from a friendship is different from “ghosting,” which means you ignore her attempts to reach out to you and basically pretend you don’t know her. This is hurtful, confusing, and will probably lead to some drama. Be aware that this method can still cause hurt feelings. Even if you don’t tell the person “I don’t want to be your friend anymore,” he or she will probably figure it out and feel confused and upset. When your friend wants to make plans, tell her you’re really busy. Homework, family, religious obligations—these are all reasons you can give for being unable to hang out. Be slow in responding to her texts and try not to talk on the phone as often. When you do talk, keep the conversations relatively short.  Remember, don’t be mean or abrupt with her. You’re not trying to hurt her feelings here, so just keep it light and say things like “I’m sorry, I’ve really got to run!” If you’re uncomfortable pretending to be busy when your friend calls, then...

Determina si alejarte de tu amigo poco a poco es adecuado o si necesitas conversar francamente con él. No estés disponible. No compartas con él tanto como solías hacerlo. No hagas nada radical en los medios de socialización digital.


If the pieces of meat are too large to fit into your blender, cut them into smaller portions using the same butter knife or paring knife used to cut the meat from the outer shell. If desired, you could use a food processor instead of a blender. Make sure that the food processor is large enough to hold both the coconut and the water you will be adding to it, however. Fill a tea kettle or saucepan with 1 quart (1 L) of water and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Pour this water into the blender.  The water should completely cover the coconut. Strictly speaking, the water does not need to be boiling, but boiling water will soak into the coconut quicker than cool or room temperature water. To accomplish the same level of absorption using cool or room temperature water, let the coconut meat soak in the water for 2 hours before pressing forward. Pulse or blend the water and coconut for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the pulp is fairly smooth. The pulp will not be "puree" smooth, but there should be no large chunks of coconut remaining or any soupy areas. The water and coconut should be evenly blended and dispersed throughout. Wait another 3 to 5 minutes to allow the pulp time to cool to the touch. If you do not give the pulp time to rest, you may burn your fingers when you try to strain it. Note, however, that this is not an issue if you used cool or room temperature water. In that instance, the pulp can be strained immediately. Pour the contents of the blender through a nut milk bag. Collect the milk in a bowl placed beneath the bag and save the pulp retained inside of the bag for your flour.  If you do not have a nut milk bag, you could use a cheesecloth. Arrange the cheesecloth into a mesh strainer and pour the contents of the blender through the cheesecloth and strainer. As before, collect the milk in a bowl placed beneath the bag and use the pulp for your flour. You will not need the coconut milk any longer for this particular project. The coconut milk can be discarded, if desired, but you can also drink the...

If the post is still standing, wiggle it to see if it’s stable. If it’s sturdy, and if the mailbox is intact, you might just need to screw the box back onto the post.  Check the top of the post and bottom of the mailbox. If the metal bracket that connected them is damaged, you’ll need to replace it. If the post wobbles, you’ll need to remove it and install a new one. If your post is made of metal and there aren’t holes for screws at the top, your best option is to get a new post. Otherwise, you’d have to solder the mailbox to the post. Screws that connected the post and mailbox might have caused wood at the top of the post to splinter. If necessary, use 40- to 60-grit sandpaper to smooth the top of the post. For more significant damage, you might need to saw off the damaged top.  In the United States, the US Post Office (USPS) sets guidelines for mailbox height. If you need to remove some of the top, make sure the bottom of the mailbox opening will stand 41 to 45 inches (100 to 110 cm) off of the ground.  For locations outside of the US, check the website of your national mail service for mailbox guidelines. If the mounting bracket is warped or broken, you’ll need to replace it. Universal mounting brackets are available online and at home improvement stores. If you know your mailbox’s manufacturer, you could also order a bracket specifically designed for it.  Most store-bought mailboxes are secured to the post by a mounting bracket. Mailboxes typically have pre-drilled holes along the sides or on the bottom. A universal bracket has an assortment of holes that line up with a variety of designs. You might need to use a piece of 1x6 wood to support your mailbox if it doesn’t use a bracket or you can’t find one that fits it. If your bracket kit doesn’t include screws, purchase (4) 1 3⁄4 inch (4.4 cm) and (4) 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm) galvanized deck screws. Some kits include flimsy hardware, so it’s wise to buy screws separately even if the kit provided some. Place the bracket on the post, and mark where the pre-drilled...

If the pregnancy came as a surprise, you'll need to decide if you want to keep the baby or not. Think about whether you're in a place to raise a child, both physically and financially. If you're not, could you make the necessary changes to care for the child? A child is a big responsibility, emotionally, physically, and financially. While no parent is perfect, you should at least want the responsibility of caring for another human life. Think about whether you would want to raise a child with the father of the baby. Your relationship needs to be mature enough to handle the responsibility of caring for and raising a child. If the father is someone you would considering raising a child with, discuss your pregnancy with them to see how you want to move forward together. If the father is not around, discuss the pregnancy and your situation with someone who cares about you, such as a parent or a sibling, just to have someone to bounce ideas off of. If you decide to go through with having the baby, you'll start prenatal care. Prenatal care is basically keeping the baby healthy through regular checkups at the doctor. Your doctor will check on your own health, including screening for sexually transmitted diseases and diabetes, and the health of the baby at your first visit. Your doctor will help you set up a schedule for the rest of your visits. You may decide that you don't want to have the baby, and that's a valid choice. If that's the case, your main option is an abortion, though the morning after pill can work up to five days after you've had sex.  Research abortion clinics in your area. They can help you with your options. Keep in mind, though, many states and countries have laws in place that require doctors to tell you certain information, which is intended to discourage you from having an abortion. Don't let it discourage you if an abortion is what you desire - just make sure you are fully aware of all the risks involved in having an abortion. Some states may require an ultrasound before you can have an...

If the problem has really gotten out of hand, then your best bet may be to talk to your boss's supervisor or someone higher up in the company. If you've tried everything or have just thought it through and realized that there is nothing else you can do, then your best bet may simply be to take the problem to the next level. Talk to your supervisor about the problem. Make it clear that you'd really like to make things work at your company but that you just haven't been able to work with your boss. Be as calm and professional as possible, even if you are upset.  Focus on productivity, not emotions. Don't complain about how your boss is mean or rude, but focus on work-related aspects of the job, such as the fact that your lack of communication makes it difficult to get work done. Don't bad mouth your boss to your supervisor. Be as kind as possible while voicing your concerns. Don't say that your boss is crazy or completely insane; instead, talk about how your boss has been a bit inflexible or has been changing objectives a lot. You don't want to end up saying something that makes you look like it's hard for you to keep your cool or to get along with others. Your boss doesn't have to be the be all and end all to you when you come in to work. If you want to stay at your job but know that you have a difficult relationship with your boss, then you may be better off trying to find someone else at the company who is pleasant to work with and who has a lot to teach you, so that you can focus on other positive relationships. If you've been working with someone you really admire, see if you can find a way to spend more time with that person and to learn more from him or her; this will lead you to have a more positive work experience. If you and the person are friendly and cooperative, then perhaps he or she can shed some light on strategies for best working with your boss. You don't have to bad mouth your boss to get some insight into how to approach your relationship with him. The person can offer some valuable insight...

If the property is owned as a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship, a tenancy by the entirety, or a tenancy in common where the deceased owner left the property to the other owner or owners of the property, the deed can be changed without going through probate. The surviving owners of the property will be required to submit a certified death certificate proving that a person who owns the property is deceased. To get a copy of the death certificate, you can either ask for one from the mortuary or funeral home where the decedent's final arrangements were carried out, or, if you are unable to get a copy at the time of the death, you can contact your state's vital records office and request a copy. If there were more than two owners besides the decedent, you may be required to file an affidavit of ownership.  An affidavit of ownership is simply a document that you use to prove that you own the property. Check with your local authorities for additional detail if you believe that you may need to file this type of affidavit. You can build and print your own Affidavit of Ownership here. The basic information you will need to include on the affidavit includes:  A legal description of the property Statement of ownership (include all owners and information about how ownership passed from the deceased to the new owners) A statement describing the possession history of the property and whether there have been any title disputes or liens. The purpose of the affidavit Your signature (or the signature of all owners)   The affidavit should be signed in front of a notary public, who should then notarize the document before you submit it to the courthouse.

If the recipe calls for "two cups (480 mL) sifted, powdered sugar" you should sift first, then measure out two cups (480 mL) of sifted sugar. If the recipe calls for "two cups (480 mL) powdered sugar, sifted" or simply "powdered sugar" with instructions to sift later on, measure out two cups, then sift.  If the sugar contains many clumps, always sift before measuring. If measuring by weight (such as ounces or grams), it shouldn't matter whether you sift before or after. Sifting can be messy. Use a large, wide container to minimize cleanup. If your container is not significantly wider than your sifter, you may want to put down paper towels or a plate underneath it to catch spills. Alternatively, use a large sheet of wax paper. This method is best used with small amounts of sugar at a time. Don't pile the sifted sugar high enough to prevent you from picking up the paper for pouring into another container. Professional bakers typically sift sugar and other dry ingredients in every recipe, but many baking hobbyists try to avoid this sometimes messy or tedious step. If you saw only a couple of pea-sized lumps in your sugar during sifting, or none at all, consider skipping the sifting next time you make cakes, cookies, or other recipes where sugar is one of many ingredients. Sifting is more important when making icing, buttercream, or other decorative toppings in which gritty sugar is easily noticed. If you want your baked goods to end up airy, light, and even-textured, you can sift the dry ingredients together after they've been mixed. In this case, you do not need to sift the sugar separately unless there are many, obvious lumps that need to be removed before measuring.

If the sauce or condiment is very salty, it might be a good idea to use less of the seasoning in the packet. This will help keep the ramen from turning out too salty. Listed below are some tasty options that you could try:  Fish sauce Japanese curry powder Ponzu Miso paste Thai curry paste This is a great option if fish sauce and curry powder or paste aren't your thing. Here are some ideas to get you started:  Citrus juices, such as a squeeze of lemon or lime. Add these just before serving. Oils such as: animal fat, chili oil, or sesame oil. Spices such as: chili flakes, coriander seeds, or white pepper. You will need to remove the seeds prior to serving, however. You can add delicate and quick cooking vegetables just before serving the ramen. You can also add sturdier, long cooking vegetables to the noodles as you cook them.  Here are some more tasty options:  For quick cooking vegetables, try: baby spinach, bean sprouts, scallions, or watercress. For long cooking vegetables, try: broccoli, snap peas, snow peas, or shredded carrots. No fresh vegetables? Try frozen ones instead! Be sure to thaw them under running hot water for about 30 seconds first. Ramen is full of sodium, starch, and fat, which isn't very healthy. You can make your meal a little more nutritious with an egg, which is packed with protein. Soft boiled and hard boiled eggs sliced in half are the most popular, but you can use other types as well. Here are some options for you to try:  Hard boil an egg in cold water. Peel it, slice it in half, then add it on top of the ramen, just before serving. Soft boil an egg after the water has already started to boil. Cook it for 3 to 7 minutes, then peel it, slice it in half, then add it to the ramen just before serving. Try an egg-drop instead. After the noodles and broth have cooked, give them a stir. Pour a lightly-beaten egg into the pot while the broth and noodles are still moving. Poach an egg right on top of the noodles. Let the egg boil for 30 seconds. Turn off the stove, cover the pot with a lid,...

If the screw head is worn but intact, purchase a screw extractor. A typical extractor is essentially a screwdriver bit made of extra-hard metal, reverse threaded right at the tip. This is one of the most consistent ways to remove a stripped screw, but it does require caution. If the extractor breaks off in the screw, it may require a professional to finish the job. To reduce the chance of this happening, choose an extractor no more than 75% of the diameter of the screw shank (not the head). For Torx or socket cap screws with an exposed cylindrical body, use a multi-spline extractor. This fits over the head of the screw, and engages it with splines (teeth) on the inner surface. Instead of following the instructions below, tap this type of extractor gently into place, then turn with a socket wrench. Place a center punch on the exact center of the screw head. Strike the end with a hammer to create a dent for your drill. Wear eye protection to protect yourself from flying shards of metal. Keep them on throughout this process. Use a drill bit designed for hard metal. The screw extractor should have the drill bit size stamped somewhere on the tool. Drill slowly and stabilize it with a drill press if possible. Start with a hole ⅛ to ¼ inch (3–6 mm) deep; going too far may break the screw. It helps to start the hole with a small drill bit to give the larger one a place to grip. The extra-hard metal of the extractor is brittle, so an iron or steel hammer could break it. Tap it in until the extractor has a firm grip on the walls of the hole you drilled. If the torque is too forceful or uneven, the extractor may break, leaving you worse off than before. A tap handle that fits snugly over the head of your extractor is by far the safest way to remove the extractor and attached screw. The drilling should have loosened the screw, so you can often remove it without much force. Some extractor kits come with a nut that fits over the extractor head. Grip the nut with two wrenches about 180º from each other, for a more equal...

If the secretary is expected to take formal minutes, ask whether the group follows Robert's Rules of Orders or a different guide. In more informal settings, ask what should be included in the minutes or how they will be used.  As the minutes taker, you do not need to familiarize yourself with the full Rules of Order. However, acquiring a copy (or borrowing the chairman's) can be useful for answering specific questions. Know your role as well. Some minute secretaries do not participate in the meeting, while others take minutes while contributing to the discussion. In either case the secretary should not be someone who has another major role, such as chairman or facilitator. Each meeting's minutes will contain much of the same information. A template creates one consistent format for ease of reference. Include space for the following information at minimum.  Name of organization. Type of meeting. Is this a regular weekly or annual meeting, a smaller committee meeting, or a meeting convened for a special purpose? Date, time, and place. Leave space for the start and end times (convening and adjourning). Name of chairman or meeting leader & name of secretary (or their substitutes). List of "attendees" and "apologies of absentees". This is a fancy term for attendance sheet. Note whether a quorum is present (the number of people sufficient to carry out votes). Space for your signature. As the minute taker, you will always sign your work. An additional signature may be required when the minutes are approved, according to your organization's policies. An agenda, if provided one. If the chairman or meeting facilitator has not asked you to draft the agenda, they should have one available upon request. Having one to refer will help you organize your meeting notes. Make sure that whatever you bring is something you are comfortable with. If you will be writing minutes often, set aside a notebook for this purpose, or create a folder on your computer.  If you took minutes at an earlier meeting and they have not been...

If the section you are covering includes a corner, always place a corner piece to start the row of stones. This keeps you from getting to the corner with too little room to hang a piece. Start with a corner piece for each row. Take your putty knife and scoop up some adhesive from the bucket. Don’t get too much or you might drop it off of the knife. Gently spread the adhesive.  It’s not necessary to cover the entire back of the stone in adhesive, but cover roughly 90%. The adhesive will spread some when pressed to the wall. Another option for putting adhesive on the stone is to use a tube of adhesive with a caulk gun. Be sure to have a wet rag to wipe excess adhesive from the tube. A putty knife will still help you spread the adhesive. AirStone’s strong adhesive does not require lots of pressure for it to stick. Gently lay the stone against the wall and hold it for a few seconds. Start on either the left or the right of the area. If you realize you’ve placed a stone in the wrong spot, it can be removed up to 30 minutes after it has been stuck. Once you have the initial stone placed, place the following stones in a straight line. Push the edge of each new stone you place tightly against the one before it. Cut the final stone in the line to fit, as needed. For walls that require roughly 10 or more stones, place four or five on one end of the wall, followed by four or five on the other end of the wall. Keep adding stones until the line meets in the middle, and cut stones if necessary. When you get to the end of a row, you may not have a stone that is short enough to fit the spot. Use a sharp hacksaw to cut a stone to the length you need. Be sure to measure before you cut so you get the correct length. Each package of AirStone includes a variety of sizes, so check your pieces first to see if you have a piece that fits without being cut. Once you place an entire row of stones, watch carefully on the second row to ensure that the ends of stones in each line do not form a two-row seam. The variety of stone lengths...

If the skin on your face is red or irritated, make a calming mask. Mix 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of witch hazel or infused witch hazel with 2 teaspoons (10 ml) of honey, if you have dry skin. If you have oily skin, mix the witch hazel with 1 egg white. Spread the witch hazel mask over your face and leave it on for 20 minutes. Rinse the mask off with cool water and pat your face dry. Avoid scrubbing your skin when you remove the mask since this can damage your sensitive skin. Buy facial lotion that contains witch hazel and use it after you've cleansed your face. The witch hazel lotion will lock in the moisture and will soothe irritated skin. Use the witch hazel lotion once a day. Buy a skin cream that contains 10 to 20% witch hazel and phosphatidylcholine. Rub this over itchy, irritated skin on your face 2 to 3 times a day. Studies have shown that the combination of witch hazel and phosphatidylcholine is as effective as 1% hydrocortisone.

If the snail is on the side of the tank, spray your hand and the snail with water. Slip your finger under the snail's head, between the snail and the glass of the tank. Use your other hand hand to support the snail's body and gently pull as you slip your finger all the way under the snail's body. Place the snail in your palm.  Make sure your hands are wet whenever handling your snail.  If you can't get your finger under the snail's head, offer it a bit of food just out of its reach. It will stretch its head up and you can slide your finger underneath.  Wash your hands before and after handling a snail to prevent exchanging any diseases.  Don't force your snail to move. If it isn't easily detaching from the side of the tank, try to pick it up at a later time.  If you have a very small snail, try to get it to climb onto a piece of food or a leaf and transfer it into your hand. Trying to pick up a tiny snail with your hands might actually harm the snail.  Be careful not to grab the snail by the shell. If you accidentally pull off the shell, your snail will die. Unless you want dozens, maybe even hundreds of baby snails, you must remove any eggs before they hatch. The eggs are round and white or translucent. You may find single eggs or clusters of hundreds of eggs. It takes about two weeks for eggs to hatch, so check the substrate for eggs every week.  Destroy the eggs by bagging them and placing them in the freezer. Make sure they are completely frozen before throwing them out. Do not put unwanted eggs outside, especially if you have a non-native species of snail. If you are worried about eggs, don't use too much substrate on the bottom of the habitat. This will make it easier to find and manage the eggs. Put your snail in a temporary habitat and remove everything from the tank. Wash the tank with boiling water and a little gentle detergent. Rinse the tank thoroughly — any residue from the detergent could be deadly to your snail.  Wipe down the sides of the tank with water once a week to keep it from getting too...

If the software you're using doesn't let you specify the size when you open a new document, edit the size after you open the document. Look for the size button in your software's menu bar. If you want to make multiple stickers of the same design, paste the design multiple times and arrange the copies in rows. Make sure none of the copies are in the margins of the template or they won’t print onto the paper. If any of the copies of your design are cut off in the margin, move them in further away from the edge of the template. Make sure none of the copies are overlapping. Load the paper into the printer’s paper tray so the print side (non-adhesive side) will be the side that the printer prints onto. If you’re not sure whether to put the paper face up or face down in the tray, run a test sheet through the printer to check.  You can find vinyl printer paper online or at your local office supplies store. Make sure that the paper you buy is compatible with your printer type. If you buy paper designed for an laser printer, but have an inkjet printer, your prints will not come out well (and vice-versa). Use clear vinyl printer paper if you want the background of your stickers to be transparent. Make sure the computer you’re using is set to print to the ink jet printer. Locate the print button in the image editing software and click on it. Wait for the printer to print your stickers and then grab them from the printer.

If the soil is too dry, it will soak up all the water from your bottle before you even leave for your trip. Having the soil already damp before you begin will ensure that the plant doesn't soak up the water too fast. If you have a smaller plant to take care of, a smaller bottle will do just fine. Since you will be burying this bottle in the soil, this method will work best for garden plants or plants in large containers. This is very important. If you don't have any drain holes at the bottom of the bottle, the water will sit instead of draining out. This can lead to algae growth. You don't need a lot; 3 to 5 holes will be plenty. If you put in too many holes, the water will leak out too fast, which you don't want.  Place the holes on 1 side of the bottle. When you put the bottle into the soil, turn it so that the holes face the plant you are watering. It's better to start with too few holes than too many. You can always add more holes later if there aren't enough, but it will be difficult to cover up holes that are already there. The hole needs to be deep enough to cover the bottle up to the neck. At this point, you can also add some liquid fertilizer as well. Gently pat the soil around the bottle and be careful not to get any inside it. The lid will help slow down the rate of water flow; this is great for plants that don't need a lot of water, or if you will be gone for a long time. The tighter you screw on the lid, the slower the water will flow out. Make a mark on the bottle with a marker, right at the water level. Check back after a few hours. If the water level has not changed, loosen the cap a little. If the water level has dropped significantly, tighten the cap.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Asegúrate de que la tierra se encuentre completamente húmeda. Consigue una botella de plástico de 2 litros (2 cuartos de galón). Utiliza un martillo y un clavo para crear 2 agujeros en el fondo de la botella. Crea de 3 a 5 agujeros en los lados de la botella. Cava un agujero en la tierra al lado de la planta. Llena la botella con agua y luego insértala en el agujero. Coloca la tapa en la botella si lo deseas.


If the spider is on the floor, sweep the spider onto the dustpan. You can also do this if the spider is on a wall, but be careful not to sweep the spider on you! With the spider on the dustpan, head to the door. As you are walking, tap the underside of the dustpan with the sweeper or with your fingernails. The noise and the vibrations of the tapping will scare the spider so that it stays still and doesn’t run off the dustpan. When you get outside, place the dustpan on the ground. The spider should run off. If it doesn’t, you can leave the dustpan there until the spider leaves it, or you can use the sweeper to sweep the spider off the dustpan. If using a dustpan is too up close and personal with the spider for you, use a vacuum instead. On the lowest setting, vacuum up the spider. Then empty out the filter outside of your home.  You can use a regular vacuum cleaner, but be warned that this may possibly kill the spider.  A dust buster is a slightly better option.  You can also buy vacuums made especially for bugs and insects. You can purchase these on Amazon.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Barre a la araña para empujarla al recogedor. Golpea suavemente la parte inferior del recogedor. Libera a la araña afuera. Usa una aspiradora.


If the stain has had time to set up, soap and water may not work: sanding is your next best option. Make sure the area you're planning to sand is broad and flat and accessible enough to allow for a sanding motion. Wet the stain to prepare it. You should be sanding softly enough to spare your paint as much damage as possible. Pick a sandpaper with a higher grit (something in the 80-120 grit range) to avoid scratching the area further. High-grit sandpapers use a higher number of grains that are less coarse, making them perfect for smoothing and finishing jobs.  Soak the sandpaper in water for a few hours (or overnight) to slightly soften the grit. Otherwise, the friction of the sandpaper is more likely to damage your car. Cutting the sandpaper will create a smaller sanding surface, making you less likely to accidentally scrape other areas of paint. Alternatively, a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser might do the trick. Its dense plastic surface works much like a fine, high-grit sandpaper, and it can be purchased in most supermarkets and convenience stores. Use small, gentle sanding motions. Try to coax the stain out with the sandpaper very gradually, and keep the sandpaper and stain wet. Sand until the stain is gone, but stop before you start taking off paint. Finish with a high-speed rotary polisher to remove any and all marks made by sanding. By doing this, you're effectively melting your clear coat around the stained area, blending it smooth.  You can optionally apply a polish coat at this point. Use a pure polish on the buffed area to remove any unsightly swirl marks. If the egg damage is still not gone, you may have to do an area respray (spot-blending). If you're not familiar with how to use a machine polisher or don't have access to one, take your car to a garage to be polished once you've removed the stain.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Evalúa el daño. Escoge la lija adecuada. Lija el área. Pule los rayones.


If the stain is relatively fresh, it may be okay to use a mixture of soap and water to clean it. This method will likely be most useful within the first hour after the stain forms; after that, the egg white will dry and begin to etch into your topcoat of paint. Wet the stain with warm water to soften it before you begin manually cleaning. This is the solution you will be using to treat the stain. The gentler the soap, the better: ordinary car wash soap should be sufficient, or a regular-strength dish soap designed to cut grease. Hand soap won't do it. Harsher soaps contain astringent chemicals that can eat away at the paint and make the spot more noticeable. The warm water will help soften the stain and prepare it to be buffed out.  You can soak the soap and water mixture into a towel as you go, or prepare it in a spray bottle beforehand for ease of application. Watch out for industrial cleaners. They can be extremely harsh on paint, and if you're not careful you could make the problem worse. Abrasive surfaces can damage your paint, especially if the job requires a lot of vigorous scrubbing. Find a microfiber towel or use the soft side of a kitchen sponge to go over the stain while leaving the paint unharmed. While softer surfaces are less likely to damage your paint, it will take longer for them to work on the stain, increasing the total time of the process. Once the stain is gone, dry the area with a microfiber towel. Make sure all traces of egg are gone before drying--if not, the streaks that soften and run off will dry again, and you're back to square one. If possible, put the car up for the night somewhere enclosed to give it time to dry completely. A chamois or microfiber towel works best for drying as it absorbs and holds moisture.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Trata la mancha de inmediato. Mezcla un jabón suave con agua caliente. Usa una toalla o un paño suave. Seca el área cuidadosamente.


If the stain isn’t already dry, you can attempt to blot up some of the liquid. Be careful to lightly dab it, soaking up the liquid rather than pressing it deeper into the suede. Once you think you’ve blotted up as much as you can, allow it to air dry. You can try other methods once it’s no longer wet. You can buy these at Target, on Amazon, or even at your local pharmacy. Aside from cleaning up mishaps, a suede brush can be used regularly to help maintain the look of your suede clothing and accessories, so it’s a smart purchase. Before you do anything, you’ll need to brush the stain thoroughly with a suede brush.  You’ll be removing the top, outer layer of dirt first. Brush in one direction as you remove these bigger particles.  Alternatively, you could use a nail brush, toothbrush, or a soft scrub brush, although a suede brush is best. Once you’ve gotten the surface dirt off, you’ll need to scrub with a bit more force. You can also start scrubbing in both directions to tackle the deeper, ground-in stains. Along with removing dirt, brushing the area of the stain will help you reach the deeper stains with your next methods. You can find an eraser specifically made for suede, but a large pencil eraser will also work. Use a white eraser to clean your suede, because you risk staining your suede with a colored eraser. Don’t begin this step until you’re confident you’ve brushed out any dirt or dried pieces with the suede brush.  Lightly begin to rub the stain with the eraser. After a little bit of rubbing, you should see the stain start to lift. Continue working the eraser on the suede until the stain has been removed. You could use fine-grain sandpaper as an alternative to an eraser, if desired. A piece of stale bread will even work in a pinch! Rub it over the stain until it begins to crumble. After rubbing a spot with an eraser, it’s likely that the suede will be a little matted down and uneven. To get your purse looking as good as new, rub your suede brush all over the surface. This will “re-fluff” the suede,...

Presiona la mancha y deja que se seque si fuera necesario. Cepilla la mancha seca con un cepillo para ante. Frota la mancha con un borrador. Cepilla de nuevo el área manchada para mezclarla con el resto del ante.


If the stain still has not come out, use a stain stick. Apply the stain stick and allow it to sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Then wash the clothing according to the instructions on the tag. Make sure the stain is gone before you place your clothing in the dryer.  If the stain is still there, do not place the item in the dryer. The heat from the dryer will set your stain. Either wash your garment again or take it to the dry cleaner for a professional cleaning. Choose a laundry detergent that is formulated to remove stains.

TL;DR in Spanish:


If the stairs have only 1-2 coats of paint or a light stain, you can skip straight to sanding. For thick layers of paint or stain, though, a chemical stripper is a sensible first step, so long as you follow all product instructions and safety precautions—including providing adequate ventilation.  Chemical strippers are usually applied to the surface with a brush, then scraped off with a putty knife after a designated waiting period. Follow the specific instructions that come with your stripper. Wear chemical-resistant cleaning gloves, goggles, and a respirator when applying and removing the stripper. Wipe the stripped stairs with a clean, slightly damp rag before moving on to sanding. To speed things up, use an electric random orbital sander for easily-accessible surfaces. Corners and other tight areas may require a finishing sander, sanding block, or sandpaper sheet. In the hardest-to-reach areas, a small wood chisel can help to remove the last bits of finish.  Medium-grit sandpaper is in the 60-100 grit range. Follow the product instructions carefully if you’re using an orbital sander. Wear thick gloves, eye protection, and a respirator. Apply even pressure and keep the sander in constant motion. When sanding by hand, use smooth, even, back-and-forth strokes. If you’re staining brand-new stairs, you may only need to give them this final light sanding. Use your orbital sander and/or hand sanders to give the stairs an even texture and appearance that’s ready to accept stain.  Fine-grit sandpaper ranges from about 120-220 grit. Apply gentle, even pressure. You want the stairs to appear smooth but have the slightest amount of surface texture to to accept the stain. Use the shop vacuum to suck up the bulk of the dust on the steps and surrounding vicinity. Follow up by wiping down the stairs with tack cloths, which will remove any remaining dust. As the name indicates, tack cloths are slightly sticky rags. You can buy them at any home improvement store. If you don’t have a tack cloth, use slightly dampened rags....

If the stray cat comes to your yard because he knows that your cat is in the yard as well, you should keep your cat indoors. Stray cats tend not to be fully vaccinated and can carry a variety of diseases (e.g., feline immunodeficiency virus, feline leukemia virus) that could make your cat very sick, so it is primarily for safety and health reasons that you should keep your cat inside.  Keep in mind that the stray may continue to come to your yard, since he knows your cat is somewhere in the vicinity. If your cat is used to being outdoors, provide him with plenty of toys inside your home that will keep him busy and mentally stimulated.  If your cat is outdoors, the techniques needed to keep a stray cat away from your cat may startle and disturb your cat. This is another reason why you should keep your cat indoors, at least until you are confident that the stray cat will not come back. One of the best ways to keep a stray cat away from your cat is to make your yard as undesirable as possible to him. A motion-activated sprinklers are available that are specifically designed to deter animals. The sprinkler will spray water on the stray cat when he walks near it. You could place the sprinkler where you usually see the stray enter your yard. After a few of days of getting splashed on unexpectedly, the stray cat will probably stay away from your property. You can remove the sprinkler or spray after you notice that the stray cat is no longer coming to your yard.  You should put the motion-activated devices back in your yard if he returns or if you see a different stray cat in your yard. Outdoor ultrasonic devices work in a similar way to a motion-activated sprinkler or spray. When the stray cat steps near it, the device will emit a high frequency sound that will you will not be able to hear, but will be very irritating to him. He may be more annoyed than startled at the sound, but the sound may be irritating enough to keep him out of your yard. If you notice that the ultrasound device is bothersome to your own cat,...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Mantén a tu gato dentro de casa. Coloca rociadores de agua que se activen al movimiento. Usa un artefacto ultrasónico para mantener al gato lejos. Usa elementos disuasorios naturales que resulten molestos en tu jardín. Cubre la caja de arena. Bloquea el acceso a áreas que se encuentren bajo tu casa. Elimina posibles fuentes de comida de tu patio. Atrapa al gato. Busca la identificación del gato.


If the striker you are covering prefers quick, agile plays, you'll want to play very aggressive defense and stick with him closely to prevent him from taking advantage of any gaps. Players that rely on tricks of footwork to confound defense can be undone by careful attention, on your part, to his hips and the ball.  You might also consider setting a trap for offensive players by allowing a gap to form in the defense.  If you attempt a trapping maneuver, you need to be sure of the other player's abilities as well as your own. If he surprises you with a sprint that is faster than you expected, you may be left in the dust and him with a shot on net. First and foremost, your responsibility as a defender is to protect the net. You should keep yourself between the strikers of the other team and the net at all times, but there may be occasions where you need to cut off a dangerous pass to an open player. It's important for you as a defender to keep your awareness sharp and make judgement calls as best you can. If you react slowly to changes on-field, your defense will suffer. Jabbing your foot out to try to haphazardly prod the ball away from your opponent can compromise your balance and give him an opportunity to pass you by. You should leave roughly an arms length of space between you and your opponent. Wait until the right moment to steal the ball away by back stepping until your opponent makes a mistake. It's easy for the opposition to evade a defender that approaches head on, so you should avoid running straight at opposition strikers. When confronting an offensive player, try to approach at an angle that forces the opposition to use his non-dominant foot. You can better ensure the right hip angle by leading with one foot while you cover an offensive player. This way you can turn easily in response to developments on the field. You can do this by cutting off the angle of an attacker's approach in a way that is accessible to other defenders, like midfielders. If you see teammate midfielders on the approach,...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Evalúa el estilo de los jugadores del equipo contrario. Interrumpe los ataques al arco y los pasos entre los jugadores. Limita tus ataques al balón. Orienta tus caderas y aproximación en ángulos. Lleva a los atacantes a posiciones de presión. Comunícate con los otros defensas.


If the subtle hints you're giving a girl don't cause her to admit that she likes you, try having a blunt conversation with her. Girls appreciate honesty, and don't like to feel like they are getting played, so you making the first move will make her feel more comfortable. Telling her that you have feelings for her may cause her to tell you that she likes you as well. If you're not getting a clear answer from her, you should simply ask her if she likes you. Don't catch her by surprise or make her feel uncomfortable. Express to her that you have feelings for her and ask her if she feels the same way. Let her know that her actions have led you to believe that she likes you, and you want to know for sure.  You can try: "When we talk and spend time together, I feel like we have a great connection. I've been wanting to ask you if you have feelings for me, because I have feelings for you." The ultimate way to get a girl to admit that she likes you is to ask her on a date. If she agrees, she's basically telling you that she's interested in you as well. This may take some courage, but if you really like this girl and want to find out if she likes you, it will be worth it. Just because you like a girl doesn't mean she has to like you back. If you have expressed that you like her and she has told you that she doesn't feel the same way, you need to respect her choice. If a girl tells you that she doesn't like you, do not be upset with her or yell at her.  If a girl tells you she doesn't like you back but you still want to be friends, you should say something like "I understand. I still think that you're an amazing person, and I'd still like to be friends." If a girl tells you she doesn't like you back and you're not sure if you can handle being friends, you should keep your response sweet and simple. Say something like "I understand. Thanks for being honest with me."

TL;DR in Spanish:

Dile cómo te sientes. Pregúntale si le gustas. Invítala a ir a una cita. No presiones a una chica para que te diga algo que no quiere.


If the table top is made of wood, you'll want to make sure that you have a smooth surface to place your mosaic tiles. Use a hand or belt sander to sand down any rough edges or bulges in the wood. If your table top is made of another material like granite or metal, you can skip this step. Use 150-grit on coarse-grain woods like oak or walnut and 180-grit on fine-grain woods like cherry or maple. Use a duster or a dry cloth to run over the surface of the table and remove any dust that you created from sanding. Make sure to go over the surface of the table with your hand to make sure that there aren't any places that you missed with the sander. If there are places that you missed with the sander, go back and resand the area. Use a damp cloth and a traditional mild dish soap and go over the surface of your table. Once the table top is clean, you can start creating your mosaic. Use a roller or a brush to apply a coating of paint over the surface of the table. You can purchase a latex semi-gloss paint made specifically for furniture at a paint or hardware store. The first coat of your paint will most likely not be dark enough, so you may have to apply multiple coats. Once you've painted the table, allow it to dry overnight. Painting the table is important if you plan on using translucent tiles or stones and don't want the table's natural color to come through the mosaic. Be sure to mix the sealer well before using it. Apply a coat of oil or water-based polyurethane sealer with a clean brush. Remember to read the instructions when using a sealer or stain. The sealer will prevent water damage.  Seal your table in a well-ventilated area.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Lija el tablero de la mesa. Limpia el polvo de la mesa. Lava y seca la mesa. Pinta la superficie de la mesa. Sella la superficie de la mesa.


If the temperature is below freezing and you have water to spare, pour water over the outside of the cave. This will freeze into ice and create a sturdier structure.  Never pour water over the cave if the temperature is above freezing. Scrape the walls and roof of the cave to make it smooth. Irregular, bumpy surfaces will drip water onto the cave floor, instead of directing water down the walls to gather around the edges. If dripping is still a problem, carve grooves leading down the walls. Use brightly colored gear or conspicuously placed branches to mark the edge of your cave. This may help people find the cave again, and stop them from walking on the roof and causing a collapse.  If you are in an emergency situation awaiting rescue, make sure the gear is visible from the air, not hidden underneath trees or other obstructions. The higher the benches/sleeping platforms are, the better, as cold air will sink below the bench keeping you warmer. You  may wish to create shelves for easier gear storage, and a trench to make sitting or standing easier. Snow caves can become quite insulated from the outside air, especially if moisture from your breath creates an icy layer on the inside wall. To prevent suffocation, use a ski pole or other long object to create an angled hole or two at the slanting edge of the roof. Make sure this hole goes all the way through the roof. Because ventilation holes will cause some warm air to escape, you may wish to cover the hole with a snowball or other object, then remove it if the air feels stuffy or anyone feels dizzy. Remove the object before you go to sleep. Gather pine branches to place on the floor of the cave, to slow the escape of warmth through the ground. Sleep on camping pads, but be aware that inflatable pads may not keep you warm in cold weather. While staying in the cave, always make sure you have shovels inside with you so you can dig yourself out in case of collapse or a blocked entrance. Shovel the entrance out regularly during a blizzard.  If too much warm air is...

TL;DR in Spanish:

En temperaturas muy bajas, vierte agua sobre el exterior de la cueva a fin de reforzarla. Empareja el lado interno del techo y las paredes a fin de evitar goteos. Marca el exterior de la cueva. Talla las bancas y las áreas de dormir que sean necesarias. Haz hoyos de ventilación. Cubre el suelo con material aislante. Guarda tus palas adentro.


If the towel soaks through, use a fresh one to mop up the rest. Careful dabbing will minimize the size of the stain by not spreading the liquid around. Press lightly up and down with care so as to not damage the paper. Be absolutely sure your work area is clean or you will have a second stain to remove! Hold the paper down at two or more corners with clean, waterproof objects. This step is to minimize the possibility of wrinkling the page. Repeat this with fresh paper towels until you stop seeing color come off onto the towel.  With water based stains that haven’t been left to dry, most pigment will be removed using just this method. If your stain persists, move on to the next step. In a bowl, mix a half cup of  white vinegar with half a cup of water. Most other types of vinegar will themselves stain paper, so be sure the vinegar you use is completely clear. This step should be done away from the paper to avoid spills and further damage. Check to see if any ink has come off onto the cotton ball. Some printing methods produce ink that will not run, but others will. In case it does, be sure to select the smallest, least conspicuous part of the paper to test.  If ink has come off of the document, further attempts at removing the stain may ruin your paper.  If the cotton ball is clear, proceed to the next step. Any remaining pigment should be dissolved by the vinegar and be lifted from the page. If the stain was large or dark, you may have to repeat this step with a fresh soaked cotton ball as the first becomes dirty. Using fresh cotton balls ensures you don't inadvertently spread the stain across the page. Allow the paper to air dry. If the item you just cleaned was the page of a book, leave the book open to that page. Use weights to hold down paper towels on the pages on either side of the freshly cleaned page.

TL;DR in Spanish:

If the two of you share a favorite teacher who might be willing to do you a favor, ask the teacher to include a special bonus question at the bottom of your crush's next quiz or test. This question should ask, in specific terms, whether or not he will go to the dance with you.  The question should be direct. Try something like, “Matt, will you go to the Sadie Hawkins Dance with Amanda?” The answers should be in multiple choice format. Most of the answers should be in the affirmative, but you should still include a negative reply, just in case. Consider an answer key like:  A) Definitely yes! B) I was hoping you would ask! C) Both A and B D) Amanda is a wonderful girl, but unfortunately, I can't As the old saying goes, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Write your invitation using candy, pizza, or a favorite treat of his.  Write the question “Dance?” in pepperoni on a pizza. Bake him a cake and write “Dance?” in icing or chocolate candies on top. Arrange cupcakes, cookies, or candy in a box. Tape them to the box so that they form the word “Dance?” Make sure that you include a note so that the guy in question knows you left him such a sweet surprise. One good way to get a guy curious about you is to make him wonder about your identity for a bit. Ask him out anonymously, but along with the note asking him out, give him a secret message to “decode” that will reveal your name to him.  On a t-shirt, write “Will you go to the Sadie Hawkins Dance with me?” in permanent marker on the front. On the back, write your own name in permanent marker. Write the names of other girls in washable marker, and slip the shirt into his locker along with a note instructing him to wash the shirt. When he does, the other names will fade and yours will be revealed. By a blank puzzle from a craft store. Write the invitation on one side of the puzzle and sign your name on the back.

If the urine was dry when you found it, you can still take measures to clean out the spot. First, create a cleaning solution. Combine in a small bowl 1⁄2 cup (120 mL) warm water,1⁄2 cup (120 mL) white vinegar, and 1⁄4 cup (59 mL) liquid dish soap. Mix it together until it creates a foam. Using an old toothbrush both stops you from having to buy a new scrubbing tool, and is soft enough so that the scrubbing won’t damage the upholstery.  This method involves scrubbing, rather than just dabbing or spraying, because the stain may be absorbed further into the upholstery as it has had time to dry and sit. Scrubbing enables the cleaning mixture to go deeper into the upholstery. You can use a rubber spatula to do this, or any other material that is hard and flat. This will effectively and quickly  wipe away any remaining foam. Get a cloth damp with water and use it to dab at the spot and remove any residue from the cleaning solution. Blot the area with a dry cloth until both the former stain and the cloth feel completely dry and stop picking up moisture.

TL;DR in Spanish:

If the weather is nice, go for a walk. Connecting with nature is a great way to relax and enjoy yourself, so drive or walk over to the nearest park or nature reserve. If it's cold, you can still take a walk: snowy or wintry weather can be just as beautiful as summer weather. Just make sure to bundle up. Walking in an urban area can be just as interesting as walking in nature, and you're sure to see a lot of interesting shops and people along the way. If you live in or near a city, wander a bit downtown and explore the parks, boulevards and unique sights. Stargazing can be aided by telescopes or binoculars, but you don't need any special equipment to enjoy the stars. Simply find a quiet, dark place and look up. Try and identify constellations and planets, and break out the telescope if you have one. If you live in a densely populated area, you might have to take a drive to find an area with less light pollution.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Ve a una reserva natural o parque. Camina por una ciudad. Observa las estrellas


If the windows in your bay have deep insets all the way around — for instance, if you have three picture windows — you may want your blinds to be recessed into the frames. However, roller blinds require fairly substantial brackets. Before considering recessed blinds, measure the depths from the front face of the window frame to the horizontal rails and vertical stiles — the thin strips of trim that hold the window glass in place.  Take several measurements for each window in your bay, and use the smallest measurement as your point of reference. These measurements are only a few inches/centimeters, so either a ruler or tape measure will work. You may need a ladder for taller bays, though. If your windows have a minimum 2.5 inch (roughly 6.5 cm) inset, for instance, compare the bracket depths for various roller blind manufacturers and models. If you can find a model you like that is no larger than 2.5 inches, you can consider using recessed roller blinds. You should be able to find this information on the packaging for the blinds, or when ordering online. Ask a sales associate or contact the manufacturer if necessary. Measure from the inset on the left side to the inset on the right side near the top of each window, where the bracket will be installed. Also measure near the middle and bottom of each window, in case your window frame is not perfectly square. Use the smallest width measurement you get for each window, then subtract ⅜ of an inch (1 cm) to be on the safe side.  Use these measurements when ordering custom roller blinds, or if you're looking for the closest fit amongst in-stock blinds. Recessed blinds are a good choice for either box (right-angle) or angled bay windows. They're easy to measure for and install, they are unobtrusive, and they don't conceal the window frames (if you'd like to showcase them).

TL;DR in Spanish:

If the woman thinks, even for a moment, that she has more value in your eyes than you have in hers, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage. Why? Because people want to have to work a little for their prize, because that makes the prize taste even sweeter.  There are many techniques you can use to demonstrate that you're not needy, but for now the best thing you can do is detach from outcome (see above). Remember: this woman, though she may be beautiful and funny and smart, is only one of a handful of beautiful, funny, and smart in your universe. If she doesn't work out, another one eventually will.  Don't shower her with compliments. A single choice compliment to start the conversation is all the woman needs to let her know that you're into her. Actually, because women are smart, they usually know if you're into them even without a compliment. So keep the schmaltzy compliments in your back pocket and focus on impressing her with your smarts, your humor, and your perspective. How it works: find something about her that you're fairly certain is not true. Then, say you don't like that quality in a girl. Because it's not true about her, she will then explain herself to you and let you know that she is not that way. This is called qualifying, and we do it when we're trying to win the favor of someone. What you're doing here is baiting her qualification; unconsciously she should become more attracted to you, because you ostensibly share similarities, or at least similar perspectives. and nonchalant about the whole thing. Your number one priority should be to have fun, because once you remove (or try to remove) your own ego from the equation, talking with a beautiful, interesting woman is incredibly exhilarating. Flirt, tease, be slightly cocky if that's your persona, and use sarcasm (with a wry smile thrown in so she knows you’re just messing around). Pretend you’re speaking to an old friend.  If she says something that you disagree with, tell her. In other words, don't be milquetoast. When you disagree, don’t...

TL;DR in Spanish:

No seas necesitado. Pon en práctica lo que se llama "Lectura entre líneas para una calificación," o RCR (por sus siglas en inglés). Recuéstate Recuerda que buscar chicas es cuestión de manejar tu tiempo. Por último, evalúa constantemente su atracción.


If the wooden boards that support the couch frame have broken, you will need to replace the wood and screws. Measure the slats and take note of how many you need. You should be able to buy your material at a hardware store.  If you need to, take a slat for reference to make sure you get exactly what you need. You could also place a piece of plywood between the frame and the cushions for added support. This isn't a permanent solution, and it could make the couch a little firmer than you'd like.  Use wood glue to seal the ends. Use a staple gun with long, thick staples, or a hammer and very thin nails, to secure the beam in place. If they are twisted or bent, you can fix them by using pliers to bend the springs back into the shape of the other coils. If you need to replace the springs, your best bet is to take your couch to a professional furniture repair shop. Replacing springs requires a specialized tool, such as a spring stretcher. If the wooden frame is cracked or rotted, you'll need to dismantle the couch and replace the wood. You might find that the wood used to build your couch is plywood. If this is the case, consider replacing it with hardwood.  Remove any fabric attached to the wood you'll be replacing. Take care not to damage the fabric.  You'll need to remove the springs that are attached to the frame, which will require the use of a special tool. This process can be dangerous, so be careful.  Once the springs and fabric have been safely removed, take the wood off the couch. Using a staple gun or a hammer and nails, replace the broken boards with your new wood.  Secure the board with wood glue and let it dry completely.  Reattach the spring clips to the new wood. This may require the use of a spring stretcher. Secure the clips with new screws. With the frame replaced, you can go about reattaching the upholstery to the wood. Using a staple gun, pull the fabric tight and staple it to the bottom of the frame.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Revisa las tablillas. Arregla los resortes doblados. Quita toda la madera que esté rota. Fija la madera nueva al sillón. Vuelve a poner el tapiz y la tela en el sillón.


If their arms are crossed while you talk, this is a sign of frustration, anger, or nervousness.  They may not yet be open to having a conversation. Consider changing the direction of the conversation if your ex appears to be impatient, and continues to keep their arms crossed.  Or, consider talking at a later point. If your ex's arms appear relaxed, and not stiff, this is a good sign.  When their shoulder and arm muscles appear less tense, your ex may see you as a calming presence, rather than as a source of stress. If your ex appears to be leaning in, or moving their body closer, this is sign that they are engaged and interested in talking with you.  If they are moving in closer than an arm's length from you, they may be wanting to create (or recreate) greater intimacy with you. If they are pulling back, it's the opposite effect.  They have disengaged with what you're saying, and are trying to create physical (and emotional) distance. This is a sign to back off, and perhaps talk another time. If your ex is touching or putting their hands through their hair repeatedly, this may mean a sign of attraction.  Touching hair or body parts that are sensitive to touch, like ears, are signs of attraction. They are thinking about you, even when you're not around.  Be aware that sometimes hair touching is just a nervous habit, that may be nothing to do with you, and is a subconscious way to relieve stress.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Observa si sus brazos están cruzados o relajados. Nota si se inclina hacia ti o si se aleja cuando hablan. Nota si toca su cabello o tiene las manos inquietas.


If there are little things that are always left in a certain position or condition, use these things as benchmarks to measure if your house is as you left it.  For instance, perhaps you always leave the lights off in certain rooms of your house.  If you come home and see the lights have been turned on and nobody else lives in your house, then it is safe to conclude that someone is in your house. Talk to your family or housemates about a meetup spot where everyone can assemble in the event of a break-in or other emergency.  For instance, you might decide to gather your family in the meadow across the street from your house.  If you have children or others who are unable to ambulate easily on their own, designate someone in the house as responsible for them. Your plan should include a specific escape route out of each room.  Will you exit via a door, window, or fire escape?  Put these details in the plan. It's an easy thing to do, but many people forget to lock their doors or consider it unnecessary.  Locking your door when you go out and before you go to bed is the easiest way to deter robbers. Keep yourself and your family safe by locking your doors. If you're worried about home security or live in a high-crime area, consider getting a security door installed with double-cylinder deadbolts. A security door is an extra layer of protection in the form of a barred steel gate that only opens with a key on both sides. Your essentials are those things you never leave your home without: wallet, keys, and phone.    If you're the victim of a home invasion and need to leave in a hurry or call the police, you'll be glad you have all your things together and ready to go.  Keep the essentials handy in an easy-to-reach location like a backpack or on your person. Keep your cell phone charged at all times. At night, place your phone and your other essentials on a nightstand or on the floor beside the bed.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Antes de salir de casa, fíjate en la condición en que la dejas. Cuenta con un plan en caso de que alguien irrumpa en tu casa. Cierra las puertas de tu casa. Mantén tus artículos esenciales juntos.


If there are many dead leaves and a lot of sludge at the bottom of the pond that you can't easily remove with a pond vacuum, you'll need to empty the pond entirely.  If you can easily remove debris at the bottom of the pond, a complete cleaning is not necessary. You should empty and deeply clean your pond at least once a year.  The best times to do this are in the spring (so you can remove debris that accumulated during winter) and in the fall (when you're getting ready to winterize your pond). You can buy or rent a water pump from most home improvement stores.  Ensure the pump has a long extended hose or handle so the pump will reach to an appropriate depth in your pond.  To avoid wasting the water, direct it to a garden at the back of your house or to the lawn. Place some of the pond water in a large tub, inflatable swimming pool, or other large container if you have fish.  This water will serve as your holding tank for your fish while the pond is empty. After you've removed most of the water from the pond, transfer your fish to the holding container(s).  The water level should be high enough that the fish can still swim around, but low enough that you can walk easily in it.  Water of about a half-meter in depth is a good level at which to remove the fish.  Remove your fish with a fish net.  Scoop the fish out and place them in the container holding pond water you filled earlier. You might need to place netting or mesh over the container holding the fish to ensure they don't leap out. Once the pond is empty, begin removing the aquatic plants from the pond.  If any of the plants need water to survive, put them in a holding tank.  Scoop up and remove any dead plants or plant material.  Clean the pond while it is empty.  Wash the grime from the bottom and sides of the pond with a pressurized water spray gun.  Don't use bleach or any toxic chemicals on your pond. Fill the pond up with clean water.  Add a dechlorinating agent to the water.  Dechlorinator is a solution designed to remove chlorine from water that...

If there are other animals in the house, the cat may feel uncomfortable eating, as it tries to compete for food. If you section off a room where you can feed just that cat, it can increase the chances of the cat eating. Smaller meals throughout the day may seem counter-intuitive, but it can actually encourage your cat to eat. If your cat doesn't have a large appetite, it may be overwhelmed by a large bowl of food. Some cats want attention when they're eating. Try stroking your cat and talking soothingly to it while it's eating. You can also try a bit of petting if your cat is near the bowl but not eating. This tactic won't work with every cat, though, so if your cat seems disturbed by the attention, leave it alone. If the cat has been sick, it may not be smelling very well. Wiping the cat's nose and trying to remove discharge may help it smell better. In turn, it may be more interested in food because it can smell it. A cat who hasn't been interested in food may be more inclined to eat if you hand feed it. For canned food, you can put a little on your finger and offer it to the cat. For dry food, place a bit in your hand, and hold it out for the cat to eat.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Aliméntalo solo. Dale comidas más pequeñas. Ofrécele comodidades y atención. Límpiale la nariz. Dale de comer con la mano.


If there is a concave line between two notes (it bends downward), then you want to hold the notes This is known as "legato," where every note is slightly blended together. Use hammer-ons and pull-offs to glide between these notes as seamlessly as possible. These come at the end of a measure. The normal vertical bar is bolded, with a colon (:) right before it. This means you go back to the last time you saw this symbol and repeat the playing until you get back again. Do you play the A on the fifth string or the second? Guitar tab will have a helpful number circled above the note telling you which string to play on. If there is a small number next to the note, it is telling you to use a specific finger. Your first finger is your index finger, your fourth is your pinky. There a lot more notes out there that, while less common in guitar music, are worth knowing. The first thing that you should explore are different notes -- from sixteenth notes down the eighth note rests. Check out the general "How to Read Music" to get deeper insights into music theory and expand your knowledge past just guitar music.

If there is a weight difference of even .5 grams you will be in for some wobbling when things start spinning at high speeds. This could be the result of improper installation, fan wear, or simply poorly designed blades. Blade balancing kits are simply small weights that you use to get your fan running smoothly. They consist of weighted clips and/or several adhesive weights meant to attach to your fan blade, allowing you to adjust the weight slightly and get everything balanced. Though balancing kits are cheap, you can use tape and a few nickels and dimes to make your own balancing kit at home, though the need to tape and untape the coins makes the process take a little longer. These small clips add weight to the blade, allowing you to test which one is ruining the balance. Turn on the fan and note if the wobble is reduced. Move the clip to another blade, testing each one until your find out which one is causing the problem.  Look for the blade that, when the balance clip is attached, lowers the wobble the most. To test without a kit, tape a nickel in the center of a blade, then test it. Remove the nickel and try another one until you find the culprit. Once you've found the unbalanced blade, move the clip up 6 inches, then test it again. Move it down towards the base and test that too, looking for the spot where the fan spins the smoothest. There are apps available which will help you find the best spot for the clips to remove the wobble. Once you know where you need to balance the fan, remove the adhesive backing to the weight and stick it on the blade so that it is lined up with the balancing clip. Remove the clip and test the fan again. If the fan starts wobbling again after you remove the clip, attach a second, smaller weight next to the first one to make up for the weight of the balancing clip. If you can't find one blade that is out of balance they may have been installed incorrectly. If your fan is brand new, you may have simply added the fans in the wrong order, and switching out the blades should fix...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Ten en cuenta que las aspas desbalanceadas causan la mayoría de los problemas de tambaleo del ventilador. Compra un kit de balanceo de aspas o haz el tuyo propio. Engancha el clip de balanceo en el centro de un aspa, usando el borde angulado más alto. Desliza el clip de balanceo a lo largo del aspa, probando el ventilador cada vez que lo necesites. Coloca un peso de balanceo en la ubicación del clip, en el centro del aspa. Cambia la posición de las aspas si hay más de una desbalanceada o si el ventilador se tambalea inmediatamente después de la instalación.


If there is any finish left on the metal, it will interfere with the bluing process. This will result in an uneven and ineffective bluing. Grind and sand the piece until you have removed any and all finishes. You should see only bare metal. If there are any pits in the metal, this is the time to deal with them. Use your sander or grinder to take the metal down around the pit. This will smooth the metal and give you a better finish. Gloves will not only protect your hands, but they will also protect the metal from your hands. Your hands will leave oils on the metal that interfere with the bluing process. Wear nitrile or latex gloves to keep this oil from reaching the metal. Clean the metal with an alcohol wipe. You should then follow by cleaning it with a wax and grease remover (an organic solvent). Finally, use a soft cloth to dry the metal.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Quita cualquier acabado previo. Lija cualquier fisura. Ponte guantes. Limpia el metal.


If there is black mold in your hummingbird feeder, you will need to clean it with bleach, peroxide, or vinegar. You should never use bleach without diluting it first, as this can be dangerous. You should also make sure to wear gloves when handling bleach and have adequate ventilation. Vinegar and peroxide are weaker so they will take longer to remove the black mold. However, they have the advantage of not creating toxic dioxin chemicals by reacting with organic compounds like sugar. To dilute bleach, mix a quarter cup of bleach with a gallon of water. It's easiest to put your bleach and water in a large bucket. This is important to remove any mold and spores that could potentially harm hummingbirds. Submerge all parts of your bird feeder in the bleach solution. Allow them to sit for an hour. Remember to wear gloves when working with bleach. Keeping your gloves on, remove the parts of the bird feeder from the bleach. Clean each part of the feeder with a bottle brush.  Make sure to scrub off any traces of black mold. You do not want any black mold on the feeder when you put it back in place. Where gloves for the duration of the cleaning process. It's vital to rinse the feeder as bleach can be dangerous to birds. Run the feeder under hot water until the water runs clear. Because bleach reacting with organic compounds like sugar can create very toxic dioxin chemicals, it is highly-recommended to boil the feeder in a large pot of water after rinsing it to ensure all traces of bleach residue are removed. If your feeder has a type of plastic that cannot be boiled then soak the feeder in a large pot of water for several hours, stirring periodically. After bleaching a feeder, you do not need to let it air dry. You can simply refill it and put it back in place. However, if the feeder is very wet, you can pat it dry slightly with a towel before putting it back in place.

If there is no sign of a coolant leak and your vehicle is failing to properly manage temperature, it may be a result of your coolant going bad.  Most auto makers recommend flushing your coolant every thirty to sixty thousand miles, so if it’s been longer than that for your vehicle, it may be the culprit.  Drain and flush your coolant by opening the petcock on the bottom of the radiator and draining it into a container, then filling the coolant system with water and running the engine for a few minutes again.  Repeat this process a few times to clean all of the old coolant out, then refill it with a 50/50 mixture of water and coolant.  Most coolant comes pre-mixed, but you can purchase only coolant and mix it with water yourself. Coolant can be purchased at auto parts, gas stations and large retail stores everywhere. If you notice coolant leaking from the engine beneath the exhaust manifold and white smoke coming from your exhaust, your vehicle’s head gasket is probably blown.  A blown head gasket will result in coolant leaks, engine overheating, a severe loss of power and the previously mentioned exhaust coloring.  A blown head gasket requires taking the cylinder head off of the engine to repair, so it may be best left to professionals. If you believe the head gasket in your vehicle has blown, stop driving it immediately. Your vehicle’s thermostat determines the functioning temperature of your engine.  If the thermostat fails in the open position, the coolant will flow continuously through the radiator and the engine will run cold.  If it breaks closed, the coolant will not be able to reach the radiator, resulting in overheating.  Look for signs of leaking or oxidization around your thermostat to determine if it is causing the issue.  If the thermostat is rusted, it will probably not be able to function properly. A leak coming from the area around the thermostat would cause it to fail to function. If the check engine light has come on in your car, plugging an OBDII scanner can help you identify exactly what’s...

If there is no way to contact this company offline, this may be a red flag that the business is not legitimate. Since emails and domain names are easy to obtain, having an email address is not as trustworthy as offline contact information.  Remember that both phone numbers and addresses are now super easy to fake. There is a whole industry in providing fake area code and 800 numbers. Even Google now does this, so phone numbers are no longer a sign of a real company. Before doing business, call the local chamber of commerce associated with the address and see if they are a real bricks and mortar company, or simply a referral skimming internet company with a phony address. Search in other cities to see if a supposedly "local business" is using the same website for operations in other localities. You should be wary if you find the same supposedly local business page being used for another location. Usually these copied phony business web pages are used in many cities and are just copied templates. Many have broken hyperlinks for images and links, which is a tip-off that this may be a phony phishing business page. If a website says one thing in one spot, and then contradicts itself in another spot, that's a red flag that the business is not coordinated and may be a scam that was hastily thrown together. If the website is unprofessional (for example, there are stolen images and numerous spelling errors), this shows that little thought or care was put into creating the website, which could indicate a "get rich quick" scam. Legitimate companies will almost always have terms of use or terms and conditions pages, as well as privacy policy pages. If they do have terms and privacy policies, read through them carefully suspicious sounding language. Phony referral business sites usually don't have much content on their sites and usually have lots of legitimate company and BBB logos on their site to trick you into trusting them. A 'big' tip-off are stock photos or no photos of the company building, employees, or products....

If there is only a slight difference in your breast size, then this is a simple fix to your situation.  Bras with a lined cup include a molded bra, contour bra and a padded bra.  With these types of bras, the bra maintains the natural shape of the your breast, allowing both breasts to appear to be the same size.  For the best results, purchase a lined cup bra that fits the larger breast.  Because there is more than one type of lined bra, choose the type of bra that fits your chest the best.  A padded bra is the more popular choice, but depending on the size of your breasts, it may not work for you.  Because the padded bra contains the same amount of padding on each side, it may have the unfortunate effect of only making your breast bigger, while maintaining their disproportionate size. The molded and contour bra may be a better option if there is only a small difference in the size of your breasts.  They work to mimic and hold the shape of your larger breast, as opposed to providing only padding. You can get a more even appearance by wearing a bra with removable pads.  This may work better than a lined cup bra because you can create better padded support by removing or adding pads on either side of your breast. You can the empty space of your bra where your smaller breast is with more padding, and you can also tone down the padding on top of the larger breast by removing some if necessary. There are different types of padding available for you to choose from, including silicone, foam, water, and gel pads.  Choose your padding based on the size of your breasts and the feel of the pad.  Insert double-sided body tape between your bra and the padding to keep it from slipping out.  Silicone, water and gel bra pads are heavier than foam and fabric pads.  If your breast size is on the lighter side, consider the foam or fabric pads. If one breast is considerably larger than the other, don’t double up on the heavier bra pads.  They may make your breasts look even in size, but one side will appear heavier than the...
