If you have more than 1 color of each bra, then you should keep all of the colors separate. For example, if you have 3 nude bras and 3 black keep the nude bras together and the black bras together. If you have multiple bras of the same color, then arrange them from dark to light. If you have lots of different colors, you could arrange them in rainbow order, or as close to it as possible. For example:  If you have medium pink, burgundy, and light pink bras, arrange them from dark-to-light: burgundy, medium pink, and light pink. If you have teal, pink, blue, yellow, and purple, arrange them in rainbow order: pink, yellow, teal, blue, and purple. Chances are, you have some bras that are simple and plain for wearing every day under t-shirts, and fancier bras for special occasions. You may even have some push-up bras, sports bras, and non-molded/non-padded bras. Keep all of these bras in their own section. If you only have 1 or 2 bras of each color or type, pair them up first, then tuck similar colors/bra types into the same compartment. This way, you won't have 2 bras in 1 compartment and 1 bra in another compartment. You'll have more space for other items, such as underwear. For example:  If you have 1 white, 1 black, and 1 nude bra, put all of them into the same compartment. Keep the other colors in a different compartment. If you have only 2 non-molded bras and 1 fancy bra, keep them in 1 compartment. Keep your molded bras in a second compartment. If your weight and bra size fluctuate often, you probably own several different bra sizes. Keep the different bra sizes in order, from smallest to largest. You can also keep the size you wear the least often towards the back of your drawer. Chances are, there are some bras that you wear more than others because they look better or are more comfortable to wear. It would be much more convenient for you if you put those bras the most towards the front of your drawer, and the bras you seldom wear towards the back. If you are using a shoe cubby or a multi-bra hanger, put...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Clasifica los sostenes por colores. Ve más allá al organizar los colores. Clasifica los sostenes por tipo si no quieres ordenarlos por color. Ten los sostenes similares juntos si te falta espacio en los cajones. Ten los sostenes ordenados por tamaño, si fuera necesario. Ten los sostenes que usas más en la parte delantera.


If you have multiple antique collections, consider arranging them in separate areas based on nature and original use. The items in any one area do not need to be the exact same, but they should be related to one another. For example, various antique teacups can be arranged in one area, even if the individual teacups differ in design. You can also display the teacups with other dishes since the original function of both collections are similar enough to work well together. A collection of antique teacups would work less well with something completely unrelated, though, like antique sewing supplies, books, or tools. Some antiques may not be directly related to one another, but if you arrange them carefully, you can tell a story that links them together. This can require a lot of creativity, but the end result may leave a stronger impact than a more conventional display would. For example, antique toys and antique clothing may not have a direct connection with one another, but if the toys and clothes are from the same era, you can paint a picture of life from that era. That picture can be further enhanced by including other antiques of the same era in your display, including dishes, jewelry, tools, or figurines. Group like colors or coordinating colors together to avoid displays that clash. Keep the color of the room in mind when choosing where to place the antique collection, as well.  A strong visual impact can be created when you display a large group of antiques in a single hue, even if the exact shades vary. The objects in your display do not need to match, but the colors should at least work well together. For instance, if the majority of your antiques have warm hues (reds, browns, oranges, yellows), a single blue piece placed among the rest may look out of place. Heavy, sturdy antiques can often be stacked on top of one another to save space and create some visual interest. Never place any item that could break beneath something heavier, though.  A few examples of antiques that can typically be stacked...

If you have multiple areas of text in a single document that you want to change to the same color, you can make it happen with the Selection tool . A bounding box will appear around the selected text area.  You can also select text by selecting it in the Layers panel. Find the layer that contains the text you want to change, then click the circle to select it. If the Layers panel is not already open, hit F7 to open it. Keep the ⇧ Shift key held down as you click each area. Each selected area will now also be surrounded by a bounding box.  If you are using the Layers panel, you can select multiple layers by holding down ⇧ Shift as you click additional circles. Once you have selected all of the areas (using the Selection tool or in the Layers panel), let go of the ⇧ Shift key. The palette is represented by a box that’s the same color as the currently-selected text. A larger palette will appear, containing a variety of colors from which to choose. To change the Stroke (the outline surrounding the text rather than the text itself), double-click the bottom of the two boxes. It will either have a red line over it (if there is not currently a Stroke color) or will be displayed as a box with a thick outline around it. ” The text in all of the selected areas will now change to the one you selected.  If you’re dissatisfied with the color, press ⌘ Cmd+Z (Mac) or Ctrl+Z (Windows) to undo the changes. You can also change other text attributes this way, such as font face and size.

If you have multiple strips, pull the strips away from each other to separate them. Peel off the red-printed liner. Line up the strip, sticky-side down, with the plate on the backside of the hook. Press firmly along the length of the strip from the top downwards. Peel the black liner off the strip. Press the hook strongly onto the surface where you want the hook. Hold the hook against the surface for thirty seconds. Pressing the hook firmly allows the adhesive to bond securely. Lift the hook up to slide it off its mounting base. Push the base strongly against the surface for 30 seconds. Pressing the mounting base directly ensures that the adhesive will bond to its maximum strength. Reattach the hook to its mount by sliding it down onto the base. Don’t hang anything on the hook for at least an hour. The adhesive needs time to set against the surface before holding any weight.

If you have mutual friends or if his friends would be willing to talk to you without telling your ex about it, consider asking them what they think the chances are that your ex would want to get back together with you. They are more likely than you to know if he has a new girlfriend or if he's dying to get back together with you. This is not fool-proof by any means. He might still want to get back together with you even if he hasn't expressed that to his friends. When you're ready to start spending time with your ex-boyfriend again, casually ask if he'd like to do something as friends, like having a drink, attending a sporting event, playing a game you both like, seeing a movie, or hanging out at the mall. Act like a friend, not a girlfriend.  Don't use this as an opportunity to start begging him to take you back. Instead, try to have a good time with him and make sure he has a great time with you. Don't talk about your relationship the first time you see him unless he brings it up first. Otherwise, wait until you've spent time together a few times and have had the chance to make a good impression on him as a friend. While spending time with your ex as friends, give him reasons to remember all of the things he loves about you. Accentuate the traits you know he loves, like your sense of humor or your empathy.  Always be positive and happy when you're around him. You can drop subtle hints along the way that you're still interested in him. For example, you could say, "It's great to hang out with you. I really missed spending time with you." Even if you don't bring up your past relationship directly, you can remind him of the good times you shared together in subtle ways. If he complimented a particular outfit, wear it again. You could also share a light-hearted memory with him. If you have a chance to meet him, do it in a familiar place where you used to enjoy good times together. Take advantage of your time together as friends to show him how you've been working on improving yourself. For example, if it used to...

If you have negative thoughts in your head, it’s possible you have people around you who are giving fodder to those same types of negative messages about you, even close friends and family. In order to let go of shame and move forward, you'll need to minimize "toxic" individuals who bring you down rather than lift you up.  Consider the negative statements of others to be 10 pound weights. These weigh you down and it becomes more difficult to bring yourself back up. Free yourself from that burden and remember that people cannot define who you are as person. Only you can define who you are. You may also need to think about people who make you feel badly about yourself. You can't control anyone else's behavior; what you can control is how you respond and how you let their behavior impact you. If another person is unjustly rude, mean, or dismissive or disrespectful towards you, understand that he may have his own problems or emotional issues that is causing him to act negatively towards you. However, if this person is triggering your low self-esteem, it is best if you can walk away or remove yourself from situations where that person is present, particularly if he responds negatively if you try to confront him about his behavior. Almost all humans benefit from social and emotional support, whether it be from families, friends, co-workers and others in our social networks. It's helpful for us to talk to and strategize with others about our problems and issues. Oddly enough, social support actually makes us better able to cope on our own with our problems because it increases our self-esteem.  Research has consistently shown a correlation between perceived social support and self-esteem, such that when people believe they have social support, their self-esteem and feelings of self-worth increase. Thus, if you feel supported by the people around you, you should feel better about yourself and better able to cope with negative feelings and stress.  Know that when it comes to social support, there is no...

If you have never been in love before, it may be hard to understand the implications of this phrase. There are many types of love: friendly love, familial love, romantic love. If you truly feel that you are romantically in love with this girl, then go ahead and say it – but understand the gravity of your words.  Love is notoriously hard to define. Some say that young people tend to confuse "true love" with a shallower level of infatuation or "puppy love." Others believe that you can feel deep, meaningful love at any age. The point being: love means something different to everybody. If this is your first meaningful relationship with a girl, think before you say, "I love you." Sometimes, you "just know" when you love someone. However, if you've only been together for a few weeks—or even a few months—it might be wise to wait a while before you drop the "L-word." Do not tell a girl "I love you" just to get into her pants, or to get her to pay more attention to you. Only say this if you plan to follow up on your words. Romantic love typically implies a level of care and commitment to a person, and you don't want to make this promise if you are going to be "in love" with someone else in a week. Do you think that this girl loves you back? Has she been in love before, or is this her first emotionally-serious relationship? Be aware that "I love you" can be a heavy phrase to drop onto a budding relationship. If she isn't ready to say the words back, then you might actually make things more complicated with your admission. Think about the way that she acts around you. You should be able to tell if she likes you by the way she looks at you and the amount of attention that she gives you. If you're going to tell her that you love her, she should at least have said that she likes you a lot. Feelings are feelings, but you don't have to jump right into an "I love you." Tell her how much you like her, and use your words and actions to show her that she means a lot to you. Give her thoughtful compliments; buy or make her a...

If you have never been officially diagnosed as having migraines, it is very important to speak with your doctor about your headaches.  Severe chronic headaches can also be signs of more serious ailments such as brain tumors. Your physician should rule out other potential headache causes before you start treating symptoms of migraines yourself. A doctor can also prescribe medications and alternative treatments for migraines. A migraine is a headache that starts dull and becomes increasingly worse. It can range from minutes to days. The pain is described as a pounding, pulsating, throbbing headache. It may travel to one side of the head, to the back of the neck or head, or behind one eye. It may be accompanied with increased urination, chills, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, numbness, weakness, tingling, no appetite, sweating, and sensitivity to light and sound. After the migraine subsides, a clouded thought pattern may happen as well as the need to sleep and neck pain. There are certain types of people who are more prone to getting migraines. Migraines are most common in people between the ages of 10-40 years old. Once you hit 50, migraines tend to lessen. Migraines seem to run in families. If one parent has migraines, a child has a 50% chance of having migraines. If both parents suffer from them, a child has a 75% chance of having them. Women are 3 times more likely to have a migraine than men. This may be due to a connection between estrogen levels and migraines. Women who are going to have a period soon often have headaches because of the drop of estrogen. There are phases associated with certain parts of migraines. The prodrome phase is the first phase. It can begin up to 24 hours before the migraine actually begins. This happens in up to 60% of sufferers. Taking special care to relax and to avoid potential triggers when you notice these signs may prevent an impending migraine or lessen its severity. It's also important to try to keep a positive attitude if you notice these symptoms, as experiencing stress or...

TL;DR in Spanish:

If you have never served in the armed forces, you are prohibited by the United States government from wearing the uniform of the Air Force, Army, Navy, or Marines. You are also prohibited from wearing a uniform that is similar to that worn by the armed forces in any public place or in public view. Doing so is a Class A Misdemeanor. The law is up for interpretation regarding how "similar" a replica uniform can be without being prohibited.  This includes wearing any "distinctive piece" of a military uniform, such as a beret , jacket, or insignia. This includes the military uniforms of other countries, and the uniforms of past enemy regimes such as the Nazis, not just United States uniforms. For example, you are prohibited from wearing a Nazi uniform in public.  There are several reasons for these prohibitions. The first is for security reasons; in one instance, a woman tried to gain access to a secure military base using someone else's uniform. Another reason is because civilians need to know that people in uniform are trustworthy in cases of emergency. Finally, it is considered disrespectful to those who have served, since they put their lives on the line for the privilege of wearing the uniform. If you portray a member of the armed forces in a theatrical, television or movie role, you must use a uniform given to you by the production which they have created or purchased for the production. You cannot wear any uniforms you or others may have that were issued by the military. Unlike costumes worn in public or for Halloween or costume parties, replica uniforms for productions may be made to look exactly like real military uniforms, but can only be worn while working on the production. So if you have worn, for example, an exact replica uniform for a play, you cannot later wear it for Halloween. If you are attending a training camp or other course of instruction hosted by the military and you are a civilian, on some occasions you may be required to wear a military uniform. This is the only time that you are...

No uses un uniforme militar si eres un civil. Obtén trajes para papeles dramáticos a través de una casa de producción. Usa uniformes apropiados para entrenar. Jamás afirmes que has servido o recibido premios si nunca has servido a las fuerzas.


If you have never spoken to the person you like, this could be potentially advantageous or problematic for you, depending upon the situation. If you are already friends with them or know them in some capacity, it may be easier to approach them with this information — and more risky. The more aware you are of your status with them currently, the better able you will be to develop an approach that will be successful.  If they are currently in a relationship, you should respect that relationship and not initiate any romantic contact. If you are just acquaintances, you stand very little risk, but you also don’t know if they like you at all. You should assess their actions and move forward if you think you could have a chance or it feels important to you to express your feelings (though you should be good at handling rejection and not taking it personally before you take this risk blindly). If you are just friends, you know them already, but you also run the risk of messing up your friendship.  Think about if changing your friendship is worth it and if you could still be friends if they are not interested. Your friends, particularly those who know the person you like, will be able to give you invaluable insight into whether or not you have a chance with them. Think about which friends will be honest with you — some of your friends may be too afraid to hurt your feelings and encourage you, even if they don't think you really have a chance with that person. If you have a friend with a history of being honest with you, even in difficult situations, ask their opinion of whether or not you should make a move on the person you like. The next time you all are around the person you like, ask your friends to pay attention to the situation so they can give you feedback later. A group outing is a great way to assess their level of interest in a non-threatening way.  Plan a trip to the bowling alley, movie theater, or mall and invite them as well as your mutual friends.  This is a great way to interact with them in a safe...

If you have none of the materials needed to create a dispenser, you'll need to gather the following objects:   One redstone ore - Mine one redstone block. Redstone occurs at a depth of 16 blocks down. You will need an iron pickaxe (or higher) to mine redstone ore.  Seven cobblestone blocks - Mine seven pieces of grey rock. You must use a pickaxe to do so, though you can use a wooden pickaxe.  Three pieces of string - Kill three spiders. It's best to do so during the daytime since spiders become more aggressive at night.  One block of wood - Chop one block of wood on any tree in the game. If you don't have a crafting table, chop an extra block. You'll also need a crafting table in order to create a dispenser. To do so, press E to open your inventory and click and drag one wood block into anywhere in the "Crafting" section. This will create four wooden planks, which you can click and drag into your inventory. To do so, right-click the table while facing it. If you don't have a crafting table, you can create one by pressing E and using four wood planks to create a crafting table. To do so, place one plank in the bottom-center square of the crafting table's interface, then place another wooden plank on top of it (in the center square). Doing this will create a bundle of four sticks which you can drag into your inventory. Making a bow requires three sticks and three pieces of string. You'll need to arrange them in the crafting table's three-by-three grid in the following way:   Sticks - One in the bottom row (middle column), one in the top row (middle column), and one in the middle row (left column).  String - One in each row of the right-hand column. Once your bow is complete, click the bow icon to the right of the crafting grid to place it in your inventory. To do so, click and drag it from your inventory in the center square. This is the first step in actually creating the dispenser. To do so, you'll place a block of cobblestone in each row of the left and right columns as well as one block in the top-center...

If you have not already been tested for HIV, your doctor should perform a blood test to check if you have the virus. If you are negative, your doctor will then determine if your rash is from an allergic reaction to food or other factors. You may also have a skin issue like eczema.  If you are HIV positive, your doctor will likely prescribe anti-HIV medication and treatment.  If you are already on anti-HIV medication and the rash is mild, your doctor will tell you to continue taking the medication as the rash should go away after one to two weeks. To reduce the rash, especially the itching, your doctor may prescribe an antihistamine, such as Benadryl or Atarax, or a corticosteroid-based cream. Your severe rash may also appear along with other symptoms of the virus, such as fever, nausea or vomiting, muscle pain, and mouth sores. If you haven’t already been tested for the HIV, your doctor should perform a blood test to check if you have HIV. Based on the results of your blood test, your doctor will then prescribe anti-HIV medication and treatment. You may develop hypersensitivity to certain medications and your HIV symptoms, including your HIV rash, may get worse. Your doctor should advise you to stop taking the medication and provide alternative medications you can take. The hypersensitivity symptoms usually disappear in 24-48 hours. There are three main classes of anti-HIV drugs that can cause skin rashes:  NNRTIs NRTIs PIs NNRTIs, such as nevirapine (Viramune) are the most common cause of medication skin rashes. Abacavir (Ziagen) is an NRTI drug that can cause skin rashes. PIs like amprenavir (Agenerase) and tipranavir (Aptivus) can also cause rashes. If your doctor advises you to stop a certain medicine due to hypersensitivity or an allergic reaction, do not take it again. By taking it again, you run the risk of causing an even more severe reaction that could progress and make your condition much worse. People with HIV have an increased incidence of bacterial infection due to abnormalities in immune cell...

If you have not already selected a leash and collar your cocker spaniel, you can purchase them at your local pet store. The leash should be either four or six feet in length. A regular snap or buckle collar will be suitable. Body harnesses, choke collars, and pinch collars are not suitable for training your cocker spaniel to walk on a leash. Make sure that the leash is non-retractable. Retractable leashes can actually encourage your dog to pull and not walk beside you. This is important if your cocker spaniel is a puppy and is not used to having anything on his neck. This step will probably not be necessary for an adult cocker spaniel. Place the collar around your puppy’s neck when he is distracted by something else, such as eating or playing. Keep the collar on him even if he tries to take it off. If you take it off when he tries to take it off himself, you will actually be encouraging him to get his collar off. Remove the collar when he is distracted by eating or playing. If you are also crate training your puppy, remove the collar before you put him back in his crate. Your dog may not be immediately comfortable with his leash being attached to his collar, especially if he’s a puppy. If this is the case, start with attaching something small to his collar, such as a piece of string or a shoelace. Just like with the collar, attach and remove the leash (or other small object) when your puppy is distracted with something else. Whether your cocker spaniel is a puppy or an adult, do not leave him unattended when you have attached the leash. The leash could get caught on something, which could potentially cause serious injury to your dog. The goal is to walk your dog on the leash without him pulling. If he goes ahead of you and starts to pull on the leash, immediately stop walking (‘red light’). When your dog realizes that you have stopped, he will likely turn around and start walking back towards you. Once he has reached your side again, command him to sit. Once he is sitting, reward him with a treat and begin...

If you have not already, put the bowl of your ice cream maker into the freezer the night before you plan to make ice cream. If it's too late for that, put the bowl into the freezer now, and the ice cream base in the fridge. Leave them there over night, then continue the next day. Take the bowl out of the freezer and place it into the ice cream maker. Insert the beater, then plug the ice cream maker in. If you have a manual/hand-cranked ice cream maker, do the following:  Insert the bowl into the bucket, then the beater. Fill the bucket (not the bowl) with 3 inches (7.62 centimeters) of ice. Sprinkle salt evenly over the ice. Repeat these layers until the bucket is half-full. Pour cold water over the ice until the bucket is full. Use a rubber spatula to help scrape the bowl clean so that you don't waste any ice cream base. You want it to reach a soft-serve consistency, which is a little thicker than a milkshake. If the mixture becomes hard to churn, you are ready for the next step. This will take about 20 minutes for most machines, but double-check the instructions on your machine. If you have a manual or hand-cranked machine, you will have to turn the crank to the right. Now is the time to add in any extra ingredients into your ice cream, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or chopped up strawberries. Other options include caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, and sprinkles. You don't have to do this, but it can take your ice cream to the next level. Remove the churner from the bowl first, then take the bowl out. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the ice cream into a freezer-safe container. If you want to enjoy your ice cream as soft-serve, you can serve it now. Make sure that it is touching the surface of the ice cream. This will help prevent the ice cream from developing ice crystals. If you don't have any wax paper, you could try parchment paper or plastic wrap. Cover the container with a lid, if you have one, and place it in the coldest part of your freezer. Leave it there until the ice cream turns solid. This will...

If you have not done so already, flip the crochet work over so that its front becomes the back and its back becomes the front. Note that this technique applies if you are working on your second row or any row after that. It will vary slightly from a row of double treble crochet completed from a foundation chain. Work a short turning chain of five chain stitches.  The purpose of a turning chain is to extend the yarn up to the finished height of your next row, and the height of that turning chain is based on the type of stitch you will be making in that row. For a row of double treble crochet, you need a chain of five stitches. When counting the stitches in this row, you will count your turning chain as one double treble crochet. Work one standard double treble crochet stitch into the second stitch of the previous row, counting the stitches starting at your hook. When the time comes, insert the hook into both top loops of the stitch, working from front to back. The double treble crochet you make now should follow the basic instructions provided in this article.  Yarn over three times. Insert the yarn into the stitch to be worked. In this case, that should be the second stitch. Make sure that you insert the hook into both top loops from front to back. Yarn over once. Draw the yarn-over into a loop at the front of the piece. Yarn over once. Draw the yarn-over through two loops on your hook. Repeat three more times: yarn over, draw it through two loops; yarn over, draw it through two loops; yarn over, draw it through two loops. When you only have one loop on your hook, the stitch is complete. Make one and only one double treble crochet in each stitch of the previous row. Continue until you reach the end of the row to complete a full row of double treble crochet.  Note that for future rows, you will need to make your last double treble crochet into the fifth stitch of the turning chain from the previous row. You can complete as many rows of double treble crochet as desired using this technique.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Voltea la pieza. Haz cinco puntos de cadena. Haz un PVT en el segundo punto. Repite esto para toda la fila.


If you have not taken a video yet, or are unsure of how to access your videos, read the following.  Tap the camera icon in the bottom of your home screen. Tap the video camera icon, then record a video. Click the square in the bottom right or upper left of your screen which shows a preview of what you just recorded. Swipe through the videos to find the correct one. While on the correct video, tap on the screen once to reveal more options. Tap on the icon that says "Share." Depending on your device and setup, you may need to click "More" to find the YouTube option. Scroll through the list to find the YouTube option. The YouTube application includes a brief trimming feature. Drag the blue circles on either side of the blue rectangle to trim down the length of your video. Try to make the title relevant to the content of your video. This will make it easier for people to find your video. Avoid titling the video something irrelevant just to get more views. Not only does this aggravate viewers, it also almost guarantees lower likes on your video. You don't have to include much in your description, but it helps viewers know what is happening in the video. For example, if your video is of fireworks on the 4th of July, think about including where you saw the show. Try to anticipate questions your viewers will have, and include answers in the description. You will see three different options for privacy options under the "Privacy" header. You can change the privacy options later on, even after uploading the video.   Private: Only you will be able to see the video. This is a useful option if you want to just have a place to store your video. It is also a useful option for testing out how a video looks on YouTube before making it public.  Unlisted: Only people with the link can view your video. This is a useful option if you only want to share your video to certain people, such as friends or family. Be aware, though, that nothing stops them from sharing the link with others.  Public: Anyone can view your video by...

If you have nothing to do at work and you notice that your coworker is swamped, ask them if they need a hand. This will eliminate your boredom productively, improve your relationship with your coworker, and potentially improve your standing in the office. If you offer to help your coworker, don’t expect anything in return. You’re not doing them a favor, you’re lending them a hand. If you find yourself standing around without any tasks, become an overachiever. For example, shelve two racks of shoes instead of one. Your boss will notice that you’re taking the initiative without being asked. Don’t complete a task that was assigned to someone else. They may interpret your enthusiasm as an insult and resent you for it. If you’re under-stimulated at work then you may not be challenged enough. If this is the case, ask your boss if you can permanently take on more responsibilities. This will make your boss see you as a hardworking, dedicated employee.  Don’t make any promises that you don’t intend to follow through on. Your boss will think you’re flaky instead of hard-working. Only ask your boss for extra work if you’ve been doing all of your duties perfectly for several months. Otherwise they may tell you to get a handle on your current workload first. If you’re bored because you feel you’re your job is monotonous, try to shake things up. This will bring excitement and variety into your day. For example:  If you can work remotely, try working from a coffee shop. If you normally sort the returned clothing just before your shift ends, sort it when you get to work instead. If you take your lunch break at noon, take it an hour or two later to vary your schedule.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Pregúntales a tus compañeros de trabajo si necesitan ayuda. Haz un esfuerzo adicional. Habla con tu jefe acerca de tomar responsabilidades adicionales. Varía tu rutina diaria.


If you have noticed a lump that is painful on one side of your vaginal opening, it may very well be a Bartholin cyst. You may experience pain while sitting or during sexual intercourse, or sometimes no pain at all, only swelling. If you suspect that you may have a Bartholin cyst, it is important to see your family doctor for a pelvic exam to confirm the diagnosis.  In addition to a pelvic exam, your doctor will likely test for STIs (sexually transmitted infections). This is because, if you have an STI in conjunction with your Bartholin cyst, you are at higher risk of having your cyst become infected (and you will likely be given antibiotic treatment — more on this later). If you are over 40 years old, your cyst may also be biopsied to rule out the possibility of cancer of the female reproductive system. One of the mainstays of treatment for Bartholin cysts are regular Sitz baths. A Sitz bath is when you fill the bathtub with just enough water to cover your buttocks and vagina when you sit down in the water. The water does not need to be any deeper than that, although it can be, if you would like. (This depends on personal preference, and whether you are aiming to make the bath an enjoyable experience, or simply one of convenience.)  You should have a Sitz bath at least 3 to 4 times per day. The purpose of regular Sitz baths is to keep the area around the Bartholin cyst clean, to reduce pain and/or discomfort in the area, and also to increase the chances of the cyst naturally draining itself. If your Bartholin cyst does not naturally drain itself and resolve with Sitz baths after several days, you may want to see your doctor to discuss the possibility of surgical drainage. The reason that it is important to discuss treatment options sooner rather than later is that, if the cyst does not resolve, it may become infected and form what is called an "abscess." This is more complicated to treat than a simple cyst, so it is best to be proactive.  If you are under 40 and you the cyst is asymptomatic (no pain, fever,...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Confirma el diagnóstico de un quiste de Bartolino. Haz baños de asientos Si el quiste de Bartolino no desaparece por su cuenta, visita a un médico. Toma analgésicos.


If you have noticed symptoms of eczema, then it is important to make an appointment with your doctor to get a diagnosis. Your doctor will perform a thorough health history to determine if anything else might be causing your symptoms. Tell your doctor about your symptoms including:  when you first started to have the symptoms whether you have undergone any treatments for skin problems in the past any recent stress you have been dealing with any cosmetics that irritate your skin any scented soaps, lotions, or detergents that irritate your skin any history of asthma or allergies After talking to you and examining your skin, your doctor may decide to refer you to an allergist. An allergist can perform allergy tests to determine if an allergen may be causing your symptoms. If no allergen is found, then your doctor may try a treatment for eczema to see if it helps. If your skin condition improves, then that will confirm that you have eczema.  Some common allergy tests include:  RAST testing. RAST testing, or radioallergosorbent testing, is a low-risk test to determine allergies. To conduct this test, the immunologist draws blood from the patient. Then, the suspected allergen (such as peanut protein, pet dander, etc.) is combined with the patient's blood in a lab. After that, a radiolabeled IgE human antibody is added to the patient's blood. The antibodies will combine to the allergen. The severity of the response indicates the severity of the allergy.  Skin prick test. Skin prick tests are performed under the supervision of a skilled allergist and immunologist. Since they will be exposing you to a potential allergen, anaphylaxis is possible. During the test, you will receive small doses of what you are allergic to (pollen, mold, dander, etc.) either via shots or placed under the tongue. Sometimes eczema can have severe side effects that require immediate medical treatment. Often, these side effects are the result of an infection due to broken skin. If you have been dealing with eczema on your own for a while, then...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Haz una cita con el doctor. Visita a un alergólogo y hazte pruebas de alergias si es necesario. Busca atención médica inmediata en situaciones graves.


If you have one nail that appears more damaged than the rest, it might be in your best interest to start with that nail. If all nails appear the same, however, you can pick any nail you wish. If you find it difficult to break the habit all at once, working on one nail at a time can make things easier by allowing you to slowly build better habits instead of demanding too much of yourself all at once. You might be able to do so without help, but if you need some extra assistance, consider wrapping an adhesive bandage around the fingertip of your chosen nail. Doing so should block your access to the nail, making it harder to bite it. After a few days, a non-bitten nail will flourish and reward you. Do not bite your chosen nail during this time. If you must, bite one of the 'unprotected' ones. Sometimes it even helps knowing that you have another nail to bite, even if you don't actually nibble at any unprotected ones. Once you have grown your non-bitten nail for a while, start protecting another one. During this time, however, it's important that you leave both the first and second nails alone. You wouldn't want to undo the good work you accomplished on the first nail by biting it after switching your focus to a new one! If you ever really feel the urge to bite your nails, do the reverse of this process by focusing on just one nail to bite. That should help you limit the amount of damage done to the other nails.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Escoge una uña para protegerla. Pasa algunos días sin morderte esa uña. Observa lo bien que esta uña luce a diferencia de las demás. Escoge otra uña para dejar de morderla. Repite el proceso hasta haber dejado de morderte todas las uñas.


If you have outstanding issues regarding child custody and support and you and your spouse cannot agree, you can get a professional evaluator to perform a child custody evaluation and report their findings to the court.  Either party may request an evaluation, or a judge may order one even if neither party requests it. These evaluations may be expensive. Typically, the cost is split among both parents.  The custody evaluator observes and considers many factors related to the best interest of the child, the standard courts use to make child custody decisions. The evaluator reports on the child's preference, bonds with each parent, the parents' moral character, religious compatibility with the child, financial conditions, and other factors. Before the court schedules a trial, you must attend a pre-trial conference and make one last attempt to settle your case. If you cannot come to a resolution, you will schedule a trial and determine which issues need to be determined at trial. After your pre-trial conference, the court will schedule a full trial to make a final decision if you and your spouse still have unresolved issues.  Before your hearing, try to go to the courtroom where your hearing will be held and observe another hearing so you have some idea of what to expect. Collect all of your documents and evidence you intend to present and organize them neatly so you can find anything you need without shuffling a lot of papers or taking up time unnecessarily. Have at least four documents of any items you bring, if possible, so each party, the judge, and any witness can have their own copy to look at.  Review the court map and make sure you know how to get to your courtroom. If necessary, go to the courthouse early and find it so you can make sure you know where you're going. Appear in court at the designated date and time of your hearing, dressed professionally and conservatively with all documents and witnesses you intend to present.  Plan on getting there at least 30 minutes early so you have time to go...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Solicita la evaluación de la custodia de tus hijos. Asiste a las audiencias previas al juicio. Prepárate para la audiencia final. Asiste a la audiencia final. Obtén copias de la sentencia final.


If you have over-seasoned a soup, stew or sauce, you can fix the problem by diluting the dish. Add a splash or two of water and then taste the dish. By adding water, you will cause the overall flavor of your dish to be less intense, but if you have over-seasoned, the results can be positive. If you have more of the other ingredients you’ve used in the dish, try adding them in to even out the over-seasoning. Try increasing the other ingredients one spoon at a time (without the seasoning) and see how it tastes. Sweeteners such as sugar, honey, and molasses can round up and highlight the flavors in a typically savory dish. If your dish is too acidic or sour, like an overly acidic bean soup with dried tomatoes, try adding a pinch of sugar or other sweetener and a pinch of salt to soften the tartness. If your dish or dessert is too sweet, try adding bitter ingredients such as beer and cocoa, depending on the nature of the food. Definitely do not add salt to overly sweet desserts as that will bring out the flavor even more. Adding a pinch of baking soda to overly bitter or sour food can neutralize the taste. If you’ve added too much vinegar or lemon juice to your salad, or your tomato sauce tastes a little too tart, try this trick. Use very small amounts, such as ⅛ or ¼ of a teaspoon of baking soda.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Diluye el platillo. Aumenta los ingredientes a granel para contrarrestar el sabor demasiado condimentado. Endulza los platillos ácidos con azúcar y una pizca de sal. Atenúa un platillo demasiado dulce usando cerveza o cacao. Usa bicarbonato de sodio para neutralizar la amargura o la acidez.


If you have plants you care about or you decide to use a chemical cleaner, you’ll want to cover the area around the fence with plastic. Go to your local hardware store and purchase enough plastic sheeting to cover the plants and grass up to at least 3 feet (0.91 m) from your wood fence. Purchase just enough plastic for one section and move it with you when you move to the next to save money. A stainless steel wire brush prepares a wood fence for painting, but it is also handy at getting rid of stuck on dirt and grime. Run a wire brush over any caked-on or large pieces of debris. Be careful not to scrub a wire brush into a painted fence too deeply.  If you don’t already have one, purchase a wire brush at a hardware or home improvement store. Substitute a plastic bristle scrub brush for a wire brush and use a little more pressure. Make sure you have a garden hose handy, whether or not you’re using the assistance of a power washer. Wet your wood fence down and remove surface dirt by spraying all over with a garden hose on medium to high pressure.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Cubre el suelo alrededor de la cerca con plástico. Retira los residuos pesados con un cepillo de alambre. Rocía la cerca con una manguera de jardín.


If you have potted mums, move them to a well-lit but cool location. Remove any covering your might have put on the pot. Do not over water your potted plants, as this can lead to bacterial growth. Wait to water the plants until the soil has dried two to three inches deep. When you water your plants, fill the pots so that they overflow and water runs out of the hole in the bottom of the pot.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Prepara las plantas que tengas en macetas para el invierno.


If you have prepared your other children for the arrival of the new baby, they will probably be dying to meet their little brother or sister. Make the introduction in a calm, controlled environment with just the immediate family members present.   Some kids can have unrealistic expectations about what the baby will be like - they may expect to be able to play with her and treat her like a doll. The baby might have other ideas however, and become scared or overwhelmed by all the attention. As a result, it is best to warn older kids that their new sibling will be shy and that they will have to be very kind and gentle towards her. Remember that the introduction of a new sibling can cause existing children to feel threatened or neglected. A good way to overcome this and create positive feelings between your child and new baby is to present the child with a gift "from his little sister/brother".   Children under four can be especially taken with this, and it can be enough to change their mind about whether the new addition is worth keeping! If the adopted baby is from a foreign or exotic country, it can be a nice idea to choose a gift associated with that country's culture. You can also get gifts for your existing child or children to present to the new baby, or encourage them to create a card or poster welcoming her into the family. It is important that your existing children don't feel left out or neglected after the arrival of the new baby. All children want to feel special and loved, and it's your job as a parent to make them feel this way.   You can do this by spending one-on-one time with each child individually, even if it's just a simple trip to the park or playing a game together. You want your older child to feel like they are still a key member of the family, worthy of your undivided attention. Even though it's natural that you want your existing child and newly adopted child to bond, its important to realize that they do not need to spend all of their time together. Let their relationship evolve...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Presenta al bebé a sus hermanos. Dales algún regalo. Pasa tiempo con cada niño. Dale tiempo a los nuevos hermanos para que se acostumbren. Limita las visitas del resto de la familia.


If you have previously secured the trim or frame of your storm door, check that it hasn’t come loose. If you catch the problem early, you can avoid having to add new screws to your frame or nails to the trim by tightening and securing the ones that you have in place. If your storm door creaks while it opens and closes, or is difficult to swing open or closed, applying lubrication to the hinges can help. Apply these oils sparingly and wipe off any excess afterwards, as they can attract dirt and dust. If you live in an area with a lot of wind, rain, snow, or dust, you should clean your storm door often. You can wipe down the door with soap and water, and clean any glass with glass cleaning solution. If you have a screen in your door, you can vacuum the screen clean. Make sure you wipe door dry after cleaning to avoid rusting. If your door is looking dull and less than ideal, you can paint it using exterior spray paint. Start by lightly sanding the door with 300-500 grit wet-dry sandpaper, wipe the door with soap and water, and then rinse with water. Once the door is dry, you can spray paint it, using multiple coats to achieve your ideal color. Make sure you remove or cover any glass or screen panels before painting.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Comprueba el recorte y el marco cada 2 o 3 meses. Aplica aceite WD-40 o 3 en 1 a las bisagras para que la puerta se mueva suavemente. Limpia tu contrapuerta cada 1 o 2 meses. Pinta la puerta si es de aluminio.


If you have printed sheet music, you can discover a song’s key by looking at its key signature. This is the set of little markings in between the clef (either treble or bass) and the time signature (the numbers that look like fractions).  You will see either # (for sharp notes) or ♭ (for flat notes) If there are neither # nor ♭listed, the song is either in C major or A minor. For key signatures using flats, the key signature is the next-to-last flat (second from the right) marking when read from left to right.  When a song has flats marked at B♭, E♭, and A♭, the E♭ is the next-to-last flat marking, and so the piece of music is in the key of E Flat. If there is only one flat, the song is either in D minor or F major. For key signatures using sharps, the key signature is the note one half-step up from the last sharp marking. When a song has sharps marked at F# and C#, the next note up from the C# is D, and so the piece of music is the key of D. If you play guitar, you will probably refer to  chord charts when you learn new music. Many songs begin and end with the chord that matches the key signature. If a piece of music ends with a D chord, it is probably in the key of D. The three basic chords in the key of C Major are C Major (C - E - G), F Major (F - A - C), and G Major (G - B - D). These three chords make up the basis for many pop songs. Knowing a few of the common scales in the type of music you play will help you figure out what key your song is in. The notes in your chord will all be in the scale.  For example, the F Major chord is F - A - C, and all of these notes are in the C Major scale, so the F Major chord is in the key of C. The A Major chord (A - C# - E) is not in the key of C because the C Major scale does not include sharps. Most popular music tends to use one of a few common keys because they are the easiest to play on guitar or piano, which are frequently used as instruments for accompaniment.  C is by far the most common key for pop songs.  Look at the music for the following notes that make...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Busca la armadura de clave. Lee las notas bemoles. Lee los sostenidos. Consulta el cuadro de acordes. Aprende algunas escalas. Haz una hipótesis fundamentada. Presta atención a las alteraciones.


If you have puffy eyes or dark circles, concealer can hide these blemishes at least a little. It can also even out your complexion around your eyes, giving them a cleaner look. Dab it under your eyes, in the creases, and along the inside of your nose on both sides.  If you have dark under-eye circles, use concealer one shade lighter than your natural skin tone. You can also use special foundation meant for use around the eyes; it serves the dual purpose of covering blemishes and holding your eye makeup in place.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Usa un corrector cosmético alrededor de tus ojos.


If you have punished your dog more than three times for the same behavior, your punishment is not appropriate. Remember - the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results! Punishing your dog will damage your relationship with your dog and possibly make the problem worse. A punishment does not have to be physical. Find alternatives that don’t injure or scare your dog. Do not hit or hurt your dog in any way. This breeds vicious, scared dogs, not lovable, huggable pooches. Never hit your dog. Just say "No!" firmly instead.Your dog will make the connection between his behavior and what you did to stop him. If there are certain objects, toys, and plants in your house or garden that appear to "set off" your dog, remove them. Give your dog a toy that it likes, that it will spend an hour playing with. Get a rawhide bone, a real bone, or a safe chew-toy. If there is some way to fill it with treats, your dog will spend even more time trying to get the treats out. Clicker training is a method of delivering immediate praise with the help of a clicker. You can click faster than you can give a treat or pet your dog's head. As such, clicker training reinforces good behavior fast enough for a dog's learning speed. It works by creating a positive association between the click sound and rewards. Eventually, your dog will consider the sound of the clicker itself reward enough for good behavior. You can apply the principle of clicker training to any dog command.  Click the clicker device, then immediately give the dog a treat. This creates a positive association with the click sound. Later, that sound will “mark” a behavior as correct so the dog knows that he did something right.  When the dog performs a desired behavior, make the click sound, then give him a treat.  Once he's performing that behavior consistently, you can give the behavior a command name. Begin tying the command and the behavior together with the help of the clicker. For example, before you ever teach your dog the...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Descarta el castigo físico. Retira las cosas que lo estimulan. Toma en cuenta el adiestramiento con clicker. Recompensa el buen comportamiento. Modera tu comportamiento. Genera confianza. Ten paciencia.


If you have recently adopted or purchased the dog, call the source and find out as much as you can about the dog's previous habits and upbringing.  It is helpful to know if the dog was partially house-trained in the past.  It is also helpful to know if the dog was confined for long periods of time in a particular environment (exclusively outdoors, on a concrete floor at a shelter, in a kennel, etc.) as this can cause surface preferences that you may need to overcome. If your dog was house-trained and has just recently begun urinating or defecating in the house, or if it is a new dog that seems to have some bad habits, it is important to see your vet and rule out any medical problems before attempting a behavioral intervention.  Your dog may be suffering from kidney problems, gastrointestinal distress, age-related incontinence, or some other treatable condition.  Be sure to let the vet know about any dietary or environmental changes your dog has recently experienced, including change of food, schedule, and the addition or removal of people or animals living in the home. Your vet can also help you isolate and begin treating any special behavioral problems that might be causing your dog's accidents, including a fear of the outdoors, separation anxiety, etc. Figuring out where the dog is doing its business and when can help you isolate problem situations and avoid them in the future.  If your dog only pees on linoleum floors, for example, you can begin by restricting access to rooms with linoleum, or temporarily putting rugs or towels down on those surfaces to discourage the behavior while you work on teaching your dog new habits. It is important to thoroughly remove pet waste odors from previous accidents to break the association between indoors and waste elimination.  Use an enzymatic cleaner (available at any pet store) that has been specially formulated to destroy pet waste odors.  You may also need to use a handheld backlight to look for hidden messes in closets, behind doors, etc.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Aprende lo más que puedas acerca de los antecedentes del perro. Programa una cita con tu veterinario. Considera dónde y cuándo tu perro hace sus necesidades. Limpia cualquier área en tu casa en la que haya defecado.


If you have recently been exposed to someone with active TB and believe there is a chance you might have contracted the disease, it is important to consult your health care provider immediately. There are two methods for TB testing:   Skin test: The Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) requires injecting a protein solution sometime between 8 and 10 weeks after contact with an infected person. The patient must return to the medical provider two or three days later to have the skin reaction interpreted.  Blood test: Although it's not as commonplace as the skin test, the TB blood test only requires a single doctor visit and is less likely to result in misinterpretation by a medical professional. It is the necessary option for anyone who has received the BCG vaccination, as the vaccine can interfere with the accuracy of the tuberculin skin test. If your TB test is positive, you will need to undergo additional testing. Health professionals will need to determine whether you have a latent TB (which is not contagious) or active TB disease before proceeding with treatment. Tests may include a chest x-ray and a sputum test. If you test positive for latent TB, you should consult with your doctor about the best course of action.  Although you don't feel sick with a latent TB, and it isn't contagious, you will probably be prescribed a course of antibiotics to kill the inactive TB germs and prevent tuberculosis from turning into an active disease. The two most common treatments are: Taking isoniazid daily or twice a week. The duration of the treatment is six or nine months. Or, for those who can’t tolerate isoniazid, taking rifampin daily for four months. If you test positive for active TB, it is essential that you begin treatment as soon as possible.  Symptoms of active TB include cough, sputum production, fever, weight loss, fatigue, night sweats, chills and a loss of appetite. Nowadays, active TB is highly treatable with a combination of antibiotic medications, however the duration of treatment can be quite long, usually between...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Programa una prueba para detectar la tuberculosis si estuviste expuesto a una persona infectada. Comienza de inmediato el tratamiento para la tuberculosis latente. Comienza de inmediato el tratamiento para la tuberculosis activa.


If you have recently damaged 1 or multiple photographs, keep them in clean and cold water until you're ready to dry them. This will keep them from sustaining damage until you have time to repair them.  Keep the prints separated while they sit in the water. Never freeze photographs. Air drying is the ideal way to salvage wet photographs unless you have professional conservation experience. This will absorb moisture while the photograph dries. Choose a flat surface to lay the towel or cloth out on so the photograph can stay undisturbed while it dries. If you placed your photograph on a paper towel, switch the paper towels out every several hours. Avoid touching the emulsion until it dries completely. The emulsion is the side with the picture. They will be able to use specialized techniques to keep the photograph in better condition. Keep the photograph in cool, clean water until you take it to the conservator. Most photographs will curl up after air drying. If you want to flatten a photograph after air drying, bring them to a conservator.

TL;DR in Spanish:

No dejes las fotografías a medio secar. Coloca una toalla de papel o un trapo sobre una superficie plana. Extiéndela con el lado de emulsión hacia arriba. Lleva las fotos excepcionales o muy valiosas con un conservador profesional.


If you have recently washed your hair and do not wish to do so again, you can spray your hair down with a spray bottle full of fresh water, instead. If possible, stand in front of a large bathroom mirror, with another mirror placed behind you so that you can see what you are doing from both sides. You'll need to hold the scissors differently depending on what type of haircut you want.  If you want a blunt (straight across) cut, you'll need to hold your scissors horizontally as you cut straight across your hair. If you want a softer, more natural and layered look, you'll need to turn your scissors at a 45-degree angle and cut upward into your hair, making small diagonal cuts. For a more wispy edge (like for bangs), first cut your hair to the desired length, then, making an almost vertical angle with your scissors, cut upward in one quick motion into your hair. Only do a few of these per section of hair, otherwise it will look too wispy and sparse. Bring the hair in front of your shoulders. Comb the section out. Take firm hold of it between your pointer and middle fingers (as if those two fingers are a pair of scissors cutting your strand of hair), and comb through the section again. Pulling the hair taut, slide your fingers down the section until they are just above where you want to cut, then use your scissors to cut just beneath your fingers. Shampoo, condition, and rinse your hair. Then dry it with a towel or a blow-dryer — whichever you prefer.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Asegúrate de que tu cabello esté limpio y húmedo. Párate delante de un espejo. Sujeta las tijeras apropiadamente. Comienza a cortar la sección de cabello en la nuca. Lávate y sécate el cabello.


If you have reduced pressure as you reached the writing core, the tip of the pencil will need a bit of touch up to complete a smooth taper. Hold the blade horizontal to the pencil, but vertically. Brush against the pencil tip very lightly, rotating with each stroke. As described above, remove the wood first, rotating as you cut off consistently-sized pieces of wood, and leaving the rod of charcoal intact and exposed.   When you have at least a ½ inch of charcoal exposed, sand the charcoal to a sharpened point.  Use a sanding block, and rub the pencil against it at a consistent angle.  Choose whichever angle you prefer, but hold the angle consistently.  Use a shallow angle for a sharper tip.  Sand very lightly, as charcoal is especially fragile.  Rotate the pencil as you’re sanding for a smooth, sharp tip. Perfect your technique by practicing. Sharpen multiple pencils in slightly different techniques.  This will give you practice, as well as differently-shaped tips that you can use for different types writing or drawing. A carpenter’s pencil has a wide, rectangular shaft that cannot be sharpened with a traditional pencil sharpener. It is harder to rotate as you remove strips of wood, though a conical tip is unnecessary (and impossible) given these pencils’ shape and strength.  To sharpen a carpenter’s pencil:  Use a utility knife to remove wood starting roughly ¾ inch from the end you want to sharpen. Push the blade through the wood with the thumb of the hand holding the pencil. Use your knife hand to maintain a consistent blade angle. Don’t worry as much about precision and consistency with carpenter’s pencils.  Both the wood and the graphite core are thicker than in other pencils, and they can handle some variability in your stroke.

TL;DR in Spanish:

Reduce el centro de grafito del lápiz. Sácale punta a un lápiz de carboncillo. Practica. Sácale punta a un lápiz de carpintero.


If you have regrets, or need to let him/her know something that you've kept in for years, use this time to let them know. Consider the effect what you have to say may have on your loved one and, if it is something you think will upset them more than it will matter to you to tell them, then it might be best to keep it under your hat. You don't want to stress him/her out more than they already are. They may want to know about what you, or your children's plans for the future are and telling them this could provide comfort. Although this may seem insensitive, you could if he or she is scared. You may be at peace once they're gone, knowing that they weren't scared to go. And if your loved one is scared, help him or her come to terms with their fears. If there's something they really want to do, and they're able- then get out there and do it! Live for today, so that you can remember it tomorrow. Say it like you mean it and remember how they respond. Nothing is more important than those three words and it's something you can hang onto in the future. They may just tell you some things that ease your mind, and will help with this process a little. Some may want to talk about death, funeral plans, etc., while others do not. Don't presume that you know what they want or need - ask. This is no time to play guessing games! If a loved one pretends he or she isn't dying, and everything is going to be okay, realize that this is a defense mechanism and is misplaced hope. While it is important to be receptive to the loved one's approach to death, do not let this fantasy cause tension and problems for you and other family members. This may be the one time where it is important to not play along but to make it clear in as kind and caring a way as possible, that the loved one has a terminal illness which impacts other people too. Things are not going to be all right and much time can be wasted pretending otherwise, when sharing memories, dealing with the loved one's wishes and spending quality time together should be occurring...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Siéntate y habla con tu ser querido lo más que puedas. Habla con tu ser querido acerca de la muerte. Dile a tu ser querido que lo extrañarás y también dile frecuentemente que lo amas. Cuéntale si sientes miedo, confusión o tristeza. Acepta las indicaciones de tu ser querido. Reúne a los familiares en la habitación y hablen acerca de los viejos tiempos. Asegúrate de decir todo lo que quieras.


If you have set the intention of killing the squirrel, and you plan to, say, stuff it, then you probably won't want to keep it alive for release. Otherwise, however, consider that you don't need to kill the squirrel to get rid of it. You can catch the squirrel humanely and release it back into the wild. This way, you can rest with both an easy conscience and a squirrel-free property. Bring the captured animal at least a mile from where you caught it. On average, the home range of the male eastern gray squirrel is around 3.41 hectares, and you'll want to take it even further to reduce its chance of returning. It helps if you've trapped the creature in an easy-to-transport box, cage, or bucket.  Consider bringing the squirrel across a river from your property. Squirrels can swim, but a large river should provide enough of a deterrent to keep them from coming back. Make sure that the squirrel won't be able to cross the river on a "bridge" of tree canopies. If you have caught multiple squirrels, feel free to release them all at once. You may need a car to carry all of the cages. Bring the trap into a wooded area – preferably a park or a forest, rather than someone else's property. Make sure that you're at least thirty feet from the nearest road. Set the trap on the ground and wait for the animal to calm down. Then, when you're ready, carefully prop open the door of the trap. Let the squirrel run free. Be patient. You may need to wait a minute or two for the squirrel to feel comfortable making a dash. Try walking away from the trap for a minute, then coming back once the squirrel has escaped.

If you have severe diarrhea or vomiting, your body will lose fluids, which can lead to dehydration. If so, you'll notice increased thirst, dry mouth, sleepiness, less frequent urination, dark yellow urine, headache, dry skin, and dizziness. If you experience any of these symptoms, call your doctor. You'll probably be told to start taking ORS drinks if the symptoms aren't severe. Left untreated, dehydration can become severe. Severe dehydration symptoms include: very dry mouth and skin, very dark yellow or brown urine, loss of skin elasticity, lowered pulse rate, sunken eyes, seizure, generalized body weakness, and even coma. If you or the person you’re caring for show severe dehydration symptoms, get emergency help. ORS drinks are designed to replace lost salt content and improve absorption of water by the body. At the first signs of dehydration, you should take ORS. This mainly helps by re-hydrating the body. It is easier to prevent dehydration early on by drinking ORS drinks than to cure it. Severe dehydration will require hospitalization and intravenous fluid administration. But, if caught early, ORS drinks can be prepared at home to treat mild dehydration. Sip ORS drinks throughout the day. You can drink it along with eating meals. If you vomit, take a break from drinking ORS. Wait 10 minutes, then drink the solution again. If you're nursing and treating a baby, you must continue breastfeeding while treating with ORS. You can keep using ORS until diarrhea has stopped. The following tells you how much ORS you must give to:  Babies and toddlers: 0.5 liter of ORS drink every 24 hours Children (2 to 9 years old): 1 liter of ORS drink every 24 hours Children (more than 10 years old) and adults: 3 liters (0.79 US gal) of ORS drink every 24 hours Symptoms should start to disappear a few hours after drinking the ORS solution. You should start urinating more and the urine will start to look light yellow or almost clear. If symptoms do not improve, or if any of the following symptoms begin, get immediate medical...

If you have short hair, you can wait 15-20 minutes. If you blow dry your hair when it is wet or damp it will be more apt to poof up.  Because you have thick hair, you should be patient with the time it takes to do your hair. Find ways to make the process work while you work. For example, make breakfast, or do chores while you are waiting for your hair to dry. The best kinds of brushes for thick hair have reinforced bristles or boar bristles. These brushes have thicker bristles that are spaced wider than a regular brush and are able to get into your hair, and all the way to your scalp. You can also buy cushion brushes with thick bristles for brushing that isn't styling.

If you have signs of fever and body aches together, the first thing you should do is contact your doctor. She will be able to diagnose the cause and recommend a course of treatment. When muscle aches are accompanied by fever, the treatment is often something that requires professional intervention.  Tick or insect bites can cause a variety of conditions, including Lyme disease, that must be treated by a doctor. A recent medication change may trigger flu-like symptoms. Never adjust your own medications without consulting your doctor. Metabolic disease often presents as lower extremity pain that increases with exercise. It must be treated by a doctor. Both types of over-the-counter medicine help to reduce fever and reduce body aches. Ibuprofen prevents temperature increase and reduces the levels of "prostaglandin" hormones that cause the feeling of pain and cause inflammation. Acetaminophen reduces pain in the central nervous system and relieves fever, but does not reduce inflammation. Alternating between them may be more effective at reducing fever and body aches than choosing one or the other.  Do not double the dose. Follow the directions on the packages. Alternating medicines can help prevent negative side effects from taking too much of one drug. Chronic use of NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) can lead to Gastrointestinal Bleeding including gastritis and ulcer disease.  This is because NSAIDs destroy the protective lining in the stomach. Though safe for adults, aspirin use in children may lead to Reye's syndrome —  a serious disease of the brain and liver that is more common after a bout of the flu or the chicken pox. This condition can be potentially fatal. If you suspect your child has it, you should seek emergency medical attention. Symptoms occur shortly after the child takes the aspirin, and include:  Lethargy Mental confusion Seizures Nausea and vomiting Viral infections are usually spread through close contact and careless hygiene. Though viral infections like the flu will run their...

If you have solid wood paneling, you’ll need to use a water-based primer. It will prevent any damage to the wood. You can find water-based primer at most home improvement stores in the paint section.  To determine if the paneling is solid wood, check the edges. If you see growth rings on the edges of the panels, you have solid wood.  You can choose to use a tinted primer that matches the paint color you’ve chosen. This can give you a bit more coverage and might mean you don’t have to use as much paint. If your paneling is veneer, a shellac-based primer is better. It will help the paint adhere to the paneling better. Most home improvement stores have shellac-based primer in the paint section. You can tell if your walls are veneer by looking at the grain pattern. If the grain pattern repeats in large sections, it's likely your walls are veneer. Real wood would have a greater variety. Use a 2 in (5.1 cm) angled paint brush to cut in the corners of the room. Pour about 2 in (5.1 cm) of paint into a paint tray or bucket. Dip the brush up to 2/3 of the way into the primer. Then place the longer side of the brush flush against the corner of the wall you’re painting. If you're painting the edge of the wall, hold the longer edge of the brush vertically along the edge. If you're painting at the ceiling or baseboard, hold the long edge horizontally against the wall. With the longer side of the brush flat against the corner of the wall, brush on a 2 in (5.1 cm) strip of primer. Move vertically along the wall, starting at the top, if you’re painting the edge of the wall. Paint horizontally if you’re painting at the top of the wall along ceiling or baseboard.  Repeat this process until you’ve got a 2 in (5.1 cm)-wide strip of paint all along the edge of the walls and ceiling. This will make it easier to then roll primer onto the rest of the wall. If you notice that the primer clumping up in the edges between the panels, swipe down the edge with your paintbrush. That should even out the primer. Once you’ve cut in the edges...

TL;DR in Spanish:

Usa imprimante a base de agua para paneles de madera sólida. Usa un imprimante a base de goma laca para paneles enchapados. Prepárate para pintar los bordes y las esquinas con imprimante. Pinta una franja de imprimante de 5 cm (2 pulgadas). Pasa dos capas de imprimante.


If you have some sheet music, look for the time signature first. The time signature is listed on the left side of every bar (row) of music.  When looking at a time signature, the top number indicates the number of beats in each measure or the space between the vertical bars as you read across the music score. Think of measures as ways of grouping the number of beats in the music into equal parts. The bottom number of the time signature tells you which type of note counts as a single beat. You're likely to encounter one of three bottom numbers: 2, which signals that a half note counts as one beat; 4, the most common option, which signals that a quarter note counts as one beat; and 8, which signals that an eighth note counts as 1 beat. Some examples: 4/4, the most common time signature, means there are four beats in every measure, and each beat is a quarter note long. 3/4 is also common, and means that there are three beats in every measure, and each beat is a quarter note long. 7/8 means that there are seven beats in each measure, and each beat is a quarter note long. Different notes cover different lengths of time. The standard note is the quarter note.  For most time signatures, the beats are measured in quarter notes.  A half note is the length of two quarter notes. A whole note is the length of four quarter notes. An eighth note is half the length of a quarter note. A dotted quarter note is the length of one quarter note and one eighth note. A sixteenth note is 1/4th the length of a quarter note. Notes in sheet music are represented by symbols that consist of vertical lines, open and filled circles, horizontal lines, and flags on the vertical lines. In order to count rhythms on a sheet music, you have to know what note value each symbol stands for.  Quarter notes look like vertical lines with a solid circle foot. Half notes look like vertical lines with an open circle foot. Whole notes look like open circles. Eighth notes look like vertical lines with a flag coming off the top and a solid circle foot. When...

If you have special plans, think them over ahead of time. For example, are you planning a beach day? If so, don't forget your swimsuit and towel. Are you going out hiking during the fall months? Make sure to bring hiking shoes and a light jacket. If you're going to be consuming alcohol over the weekend, plan ahead. Bring something like ibuprofen in case you end up with a hangover. Also, if your boyfriend's throwing a party or get together, chip in for alcohol. Pack a bottle of wine. You never know when you might need cash. If the two of you want to order a pizza, for example, it's easier to have cash on hand to pay your share. Try breaking down larger bills like twenties into tens, singles, and fives. This can make things easier when splitting up payments.

If you have spoken with the person in the last three days and think they may be missing in the desert, call 911 immediately. Tell them the person’s last known location, their name, and what they look like. The police or emergency services may also involve Border Patrol. Although you may be worried about contacting American authorities, especially if the person crossed the border illegally, it may be the only way to save the person’s life. As a secondary or alternative solution to contacting American authorities, you could call an NGO or non-profit dedicated to finding missing people along the border. These services can help families looking for a relative who’s gone missing while trying to cross the border. You can search for them online. You can also use the Mexican government’s migrant safety agency, Grupos Beta, which provides rescue and first aid to migrants. They will provide services regardless of the person’s nationality or immigration status. Explain that you’re looking for a person who went missing near the border. Tell them the name and last known location of the person, and describe what they look like. Try to contact the consulate nearest to the place where the person went missing. The consulate authorities will likely notify Border Patrol of the situation. You can also contact the consulate for information if you think the person has been detained at the border. They will only give you information about the detained person if you are an immediate family member, like a spouse, parent, sibling, or child. Be prepared to give the person’s full name and date of birth. This agency helps refugees from Central America, South America, Africa, and anyone else claiming asylum in the United States. If you think the person might be in their custody, call them at 800-203-7001. Stay calm and be polite and patient. Give your name, phone number, and details about the person, such as their name and your relationship to them. If you think the person may have been detained, you can call the ICE, providing the...

If you have stage fright, just find a dark place in the back of the location to look whenever you get nervous. That way you won't be unnerved by your cheering fans. You may want to rewrite or redirect songs as your band/sound evolves. This is perfectly okay. It gives you something new and exciting to play, and it gives your fans something to look forward to. Also, try not to get too confident and cocky and don't practice. If you want to have a good band, remember; practice a lot.

If you have stock cards remaining after dealing (be sure to use multiple decks if you have more than 3 players), turn over the top card and lay it face up beside the stack. This card indicates the “trump suit,” and will determine which suit has the highest value during the hand. Otherwise, the player who won the bid will have the privilege of calling trump.  If the trump suit happens to be clubs, for instance, a group of club cards will be worth more than cards of any other suit. Any undealt cards will be available for players to draw from after taking tricks. Melds are combinations of cards that add up to different point values. Melds are not actually played like tricks but held to increase the possible value of a player’s hand. At the end of the game, the points you receive for melding will be added to your final score.  For example, the highest scoring meld in pinochle is the “flush,” which consists of an ace, king, queen, jack and ten of the same suit. Other melds include “60 queens,” or one queen of each suit, which is worth 40 points, and “royal marriage,” a king and queen of the same suit, which will net you 40 points.  Only one meld is allowed per turn; this means you couldn't be awarded points for both a flush and a royal marriage because they both contain the same cards. For a comprehensive list of all possible melds, visit this link. If you’ve managed to put together any melds from your hand, place them face up on the table. Calculate the value of each player’s melds and write them down, but don’t score them yet.  In some versions of the game, the cards will remain on the table until the round is over. In others, they can go back into your hand. In either variation, the cards will still be in play and can be used to take tricks.  It can be helpful to think of melds as “point multipliers.” Rather than earning points right away, they’ll be factored into your total score once the last trick has been played

Designa el palo del triunfo. Busca conjuntos en tu mano. Coloca tus conjuntos sobre la mesa.


If you have strands of hair that are too short to pull up but too long to let hang, try pinning them back. Bobby pins will more often than not be your constant companion in the weeks and months it takes to grow out a short haircut. Here's a quick guide for those a little out of practice:  Make a deep part on one side of your forehead just above the center of one of your eyes. Then sweep that portion of hair to the side, using pins to hold it back.  Then set with hairspray. Grab the portion at the front of your hair that's starting to fall over your forehead.  Twist the section once or twice, then pin flat at the top of your head. The slight twist will add a bit of volume to the front of the section. Once the top of your hair is long enough to pull back, pin up the shorter sections underneath for a cleaner ponytail look. These products can help tame your hair when it's prone to looking wild and unruly. Test out a few different products to find one you like - if you're on a budget, ask your friends what they use and whether you could try a bit. If what you're using makes your hair look stiffer than you'd like, try adding a bit of water to the product before applying it.  For a matte look, go for the wax or the pomade. Use only about a pea-sized glob of the product and work it through your hair beginning where the hair meets your scalp. Style how you'd like. For a glossy or wet look, reach for the gel. Again, use a small glob and work through your hair beginning at the base. If your style allows it, comb your hair to make sure there are no gel clumps left over. Mousse will be helpful for those with curls or anyone looking for added volume. For curls, use a palm-sized amount and work it through the bottom 2/3 of your hair (so not near your scalp), then flip your head and do the same to the underside. For volume, have a glob of mousse in one hand and then use a comb to apply it to your hair, starting at the roots. If you've got the tools at hand, try curling your hair for some added bounce to your hair-do. Curling...

If you have symptoms consistent with dengue fever, see your doctor as soon as possible to determine the diagnosis.  Blood tests are available that can help your doctor to determine if you have been exposed to dengue fever. Your doctor will do blood work that helps to identify the presence of antibodies to dengue fever. It does take several weeks to get the full results of the blood tests. Changes in your platelet count can be checked to help verify the diagnosis. People that are infected with dengue fever have lower than normal platelet counts.  An additional test called the tourniquet test can help with the diagnosis by providing your doctor with information about the condition of your capillaries. This test is not conclusive, but can be used to help with the diagnosis.  Research is underway to develop new tests that confirm the diagnosis of dengue fever, including some that are point-of-care tests. Point-of-care tests can be performed at the doctor’s office or in a hospital setting and provide quick confirmation of the infection.  Your signs and symptoms are often enough for your doctor to determine that you have been infected with dengue fever, start supportive treatment, and monitor your progress. While dengue fever is a global problem, there are areas where the infection is more prevalent, and locations where it has never been reported.  The areas of the world where you are more likely to be bitten by a mosquito that carries dengue fever include tropical locations such as Puerto Rico, Latin America, Mexico, the Honduras, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Islands.  The World Health Organization also identifies other areas that have cases frequently reported including some areas of Africa, South America, Australia, Eastern Mediterranean countries, and island locations in the western Pacific.  Recent cases have been reported in Europe, France, Croatia, the Madeira islands of Portugal, China, Singapore, Costa Rica, and Japan. In 2013, several cases were reported in Florida.  A recent report posted in July of...

If you have the administrator credentials (e.g., your email address and a password), you can log into your website's administrator panel by entering them in the proper location. Most website hosting services (e.g., WordPress, Weebly, GoDaddy, etc.) have a control panel that you can access by logging into the hosting service's website. For example, for a WordPress domain, you would go to hosting service's address (in this case, https://www.wordpress.com/), click Log In,  enter your login credentials, and then go to your administrator page by clicking My Site, scrolling down, and clicking WP Admin. You'll need to do this if you can't log in via the host's website. The base address is the website URL that most people will see. For example, Facebook's base address is "https://www.facebook.com". If you're unable to access the login page through the host's address, you can attempt to go to it directly by trying the following variations:  www.website.com/admin www.website.com/administrator www.website.com/user www.website.com/login www.website.com/login.aspx www.website.com/wp-login.php www.website.com/admin.php www.website.com/wp-admin Once you arrive at the login page, you'll generally see two text fields; you'll enter your login name or email address in the "Email" or "Username" text field, which is usually the top text field. Type your administrator password into the "Password" text field, which is usually directly below the "Username" or "Email" field. It's typically below the "Password" text field. Doing so will log you into the website's administrator panel.

If you have the author's real name, introduce the author's last name in sentence as you quote the tweet. Within parentheses, note the author's username.  If no real name is available, only the username is needed. You can quote a full or partial tweet. After writing the username in parentheses, you should also write the year the tweet was published. Example: As noted by Doe, "Quoting a tweet is surprisingly simple" (JohnDoeExampleName, 2013). Example: Quoting tweets is "so simple, a monkey could do it" (RandomExampleUsername, 2013). The information must provide enough information for the reader to easily track the original tweet down.  The author's username must be included in the reference, but the real name does not need to be. Follow the username with a period. In parentheses, write the date in year-month-day format, followed by a parentheses. Write the full tweet after the date. Only capitalize the first word and do not put the tweet in quotation marks. Label the title as “Twitter post” in brackets, followed by a period. Conclude with the exact URL of the exact tweet, proceeded by the phrase “Retrieved from.” Do not include a period after the URL.

If you have the best content this side of the Milky Way galaxy, it doesn't matter if no one's seeing it. You've gotta make it so your blog is seen. How do you do this? Basically, make it so Google likes you. The higher your page is ranked, the more accessible it is.  A lot of this has to do with search engine optimization, or SEO. When someone searches "Caramel Salted Bonbons," you don't want yours to be on the 5th search results page. Keywords are huge, too. If you know what your audience is searching, you can cater your content to it. The more your content matches, the more relevant your blog will seem. Just don't cater it so much you seem like a keyword-mongering sellout. If you plant your URL on others' pages and leave it at that, that's a little rude. You want to develop friendships, a reputation, and to be a mainstay in whatever community you're a part of. So reach out! Talk to other bloggers. Answer your emails. Stay active with your readers. Be a real person. When you get more involved, you dig yourself a deeper, sturdier role in the blogging world. People can start deferring to you. It'll be great! When you've already done something, others will link to it, possibly modify it, and get the word out about you for you. It's all about networking, whether it's real life or not. Really, "cost" is an idea somebody made up. It's about what you're willing to pay -- in this case, it's about what you're willing to charge. If you're at a complete loss as to what you think your blog's value is, look at similar blogs. Shoot the author an email if they don't have it up on their "sponsor me" page. And speaking of which -- you should have one of those pages, too!  Another way to go about it is to go to BlogAds.com. They have a seemingly infinite list of blogs sorted by category and traffic -- you can find one similar to yours and look at the prices by the week or month. You'll want to start thinking about renewal rates and bulk packaging, too. If you get ads for six months, do they get a deal? What about if they...
