If you know for a fact that the guy you like likes you back, that should give you all the confidence in the world. Most people aren't sure at all, or maybe have a hunch. So act confident, because confidence is attractive. It will make a difference. Before you ask him, tell yourself that you already have the hardest part under control: You've gotten him to like you. Now you just have to act on that attraction. This gets easier as time goes on. The hardest part is the first time you tell him; everything after that is a downhill ride. Giving him hints might even cause him to be more confident and act on his attraction and ask you out!   Compliment him about something he does well, but teasingly. This will come off flirty and won't bother him because he won't be insecure about something he's really good at: "If I would have known that you'd single-handedly destroy the other football team, I wouldn't have come. I like a little excitement, okay?!"  Tell him how much you appreciate him. Being a little sarcastic is good, but being sincere is even better: "Hey, thanks for helping me out with that birthday celebration. You make a pretty great friend. Always stay that way."  Pick him up when he's down. He might not show it the same way that other people show it, but try to recognize when he's not feeling his best: "Don't worry about Felix, okay? He's a jerk and he knows it. Don't let it hurt your confidence. You're way better than him anyway." Chances are you're gotten close enough to him that you're experimented a little with touching him in safe places. If you've already done that, great. If you haven't, try some of these little tricks to communicate your affection before you actually come out and say it.  Learn to touch his hand, arm, and shoulder. When you're making a point, reach over and casually touch his hand. When you're reminding him of something or trying to be really serious, touch his arm or the back of his shoulder. It should send shivers down his spine. Hang or rest on his shoulder. Pretend to be bored...

If you know it is going to be hot and sunny, make sure you have sunscreen and water. If there is a chance of thunderstorms later on you can still go swimming. However, make sure you have a plan for inclement weather, such as shelter to get under, and that everyone you're with knows where to meet if you hear thunder. The dreaded swimmer's cramp is caused when your body is both trying to digest food and exert itself to stay afloat. Avoid this by avoiding large meals, particularly greasy, fatty foods like hamburgers, cheese, etc. that take a long time to digest.  This doesn't mean you need to swim hungry. Rather, try to graze and eat lightly over time instead of loading up on one big meal. For example, eat a banana. It gives you extra potassium and energy! UV radiation still penetrates cloud cover, so don't assume you're fine just because the sun isn't shining. Make sure you are using a waterproof "sport" sunscreen that won't wash off as soon as you get in the water. Remember to NOT put any kind of moisturizer before swimming. Your swim cap and goggles can easily fall off.  While swimming, reapply sunscreen every 30 minutes to prevent burning. If you're going to change at the pool or beach, you should consider an extra shirt or pair of underwear as well, in case your dry clothes accidentally get wet. If you want goggles, be sure to pack them as well. It doesn't matter where you're swimming, it is always a good idea to have drinkable water on hand. Dehydration causes exhaustion, grumpiness, and, when left untreated, serious health issues. It seems obvious, but make sure you have drinkable water before you go into the water.  At the very least, aim to drink 16oz or more of water in the hour leading up to your swim. 1 water bottle per person should be good for 1-2 hours of activity. To be safest as you pack, just assume that everything you bring is going to get wet. If you are taking things like your mobile phone that can't get wet, take them in a separate small bag, pockets of your clothes or a waterproof bag...

If you know she is willing, you can slowly run your hand along the top of her leg then down along her thigh. This can be more of a sexual move that leads to more, or you can just touch her thighs for the sake of it. You should be pretty familiar with each other for you to try this move, though. Don't think she'll be okay with it just because you've reached the kissing phase. When you're caressing her thigh, use a light touch instead of a squeezing motion, or she may feel a little overwhelmed. Stand behind the woman, move her hair to the side, and kiss the back of her neck while you move an arm to the bend of her waist and move your fingers up and down there gently, like you're kneading her. This is a place where women —as long as you're on intimate terms — really love to be touched. Women love to be hugged and to feel the gentle affection of a man's love. You can embrace your woman for a long time, but you should keep things interesting. Without getting too handsy and moving your hands too much, you can place one hand on the small of her back and gently move it up and down. This will make your woman feel loved, and if she's upset, this will help reassure her. You can also place your hand on the small of her back when you're walking somewhere to lead her forward. Women love to be touched like this too. If you're sitting down and holding hands, you can gently stroke the inside of her wrist. This is a very sensitive area and she will definitely feel a tinge of pleasure when you touch her here. You can even trace a circle around her palm and then make your way down to her wrist. Then, you can even stroke her forearms and up to the crooks of her elbows. Just make sure she doesn't feel ticklish — if she does, then she won't be feeling much pleasure. You want to keep your touch light but meaningful. Tracing the area of her spine above her lower back, up to her neck, and back down again can definitely make a woman feel more than a bit of pleasure. This is a very intimate gesture and it'll really send the message if...

If you know that Grandpa Joe always likes to get on your case about "kids these days" make sure that you attend the family reunion with a pocketful of facts about the good your generation is doing, the hardships your generation faces compared to his, and so on.  You can't always count on being fully prepared for an argument ahead of time, but there are some things you can do to make it more likely that you come out on top in an on-the-spot argument. If there are certain subjects that are important to you make sure you know as much about them as possible. This way, even if you're not prepared for a specific argument, should one arise, you'll have the facts to back up your side of things. Make sure that you understand how to set up a compelling argument (see the section about making your case). You want to avoid falling into certain argument fallacies. Your argument is going to be different based on the people who are participating in the argument and the people who are listening to it. The fewer people to deal with, the easier you'll have it, because you won't have to try to figure in so many different argument types. For example: to go back to your Grandpa Joe, you wouldn't want to engage in a loud and angry argument with him in front of all your relatives. This will make him less likely to back down no matter how asinine his side of the argument is. Instead, you might talk to him in a more private setting without all the family members around watching you. The person who loses their temper or their hold on their emotions first is the person who loses the argument. It doesn't matter how good your facts are, because you're out of control and more likely to make a mistake.  Take deep breaths when you feel your temper or emotions rising. This is also why it's important to listen carefully when the other person is talking. If you can focus on what they're saying and take a moment to consider your rebuttal, you're less likely to respond with an immediate knee-jerk emotional reaction. This was a favorite tactic of...

If you know that the weather will be rainy, choose an area that you can enjoy in the rain, such as a trek through the forest. Consider visibility and safety, since waterways can flood and rocks can become slippery. When in doubt, plan to keep your hiking short and bed down early. Each time you open your pack water drips in. Even if it’s only a small amount of water, it can quickly compromise your pack. The water will remain in your waterproofed pack for the entire trek, so don’t risk lugging around the unnecessary weight. Store frequently needed items and your snacks in pockets or in dry bags attached to the outside of your pack. If you don’t have a waterproof map, then make sure that your map never gets wet. Ideally, it should be secured in a plastic see-through bag. Try not to remove it when it’s exposed to rain. Regularly munching on snacks will help you keep your body warmer, which is important when you’re getting wet. Rain can cause hypothermia if you get too cool, so plan to eat more often than on a dry hike. The wetness from your socks can rub away your natural skin oils, which is what causes blisters. Applying a light salve to your feet can help prevent this from happening. Carry a salve and smooth it onto your feet when you settle in for the night. When it’s raining, some hikers forget to drink their water. Even if you don’t feel thirsty, make sure that you’re sipping on your water to keep yourself hydrated. Dehydration can quickly become an issue. Rainy weather makes breaks less desirable because it allows your body to cool down, causing you to be cold and uncomfortable. You also have the incentive to keep going until you reach your destination and can get out of the rain. However, not taking breaks can easily tire you out. Stay energized by taking shorter breaks than you normally would but more often. For example, if you would normally take a 15-minute break after hiking for an hour and a half, take a five-minute break every 30 minutes. When you do stop to camp, keep your wet items separate from...

If you know the guy she has a crush on, stop and take an inventory of what traits he possesses. Is he the athletic type? Does he have a particular talent, like art or music? Is he brainy with straight As? Learning more about her crush can tell you a lot about what she looks for in a guy. Think about what the other guy is like and whether there’s a possibility that she could like you for the same reasons without you having to change your personality. Find out what other people have to say about the guy she has a crush on. If you go to school with him, ask people that know him what kind of person he is, what they like about him, etc. She may like nice guys, or she may be more attracted to the “bad boy” type. Get to know the people she hangs out with and see what they’re like. Most likely, the qualities she looks for in choosing friends are the same ones that determine who she likes. Find out what you have in common with her clique. If things go well, your crush’s friends may become your friends, too, which means you’ll be able to spend more time around her.  When talking to your crush’s friends, casually bring up the subject of what kinds of guys she normally falls for, and how she feels about you. If they like you, they’ll be willing to give you helpful advice about how to win her over. Try not to act like you’re interrogating them. You’re trying to find out more about her by talking to her friends. If they feel like you’ve got ulterior motives or you’re being dishonest, you may end up doing more harm than good. Pay attention to the things she likes to do. Is she studious or social? Where does she like to hang out, and who does she hang out with? What type of music does she listen to? You’re looking for clues that will tell you more about what she’s into so that you can find ways to relate to her. Start taking notice of things she gets excited about, or that she finds uninteresting. This will help you decide what sorts of subjects to talk about the next time you’re around her. Be observant, but don’t be a...

If you know the name of the individual who reviews admissions applications, it's best to address the letter to that individual by name.  If you are unable to track down a specific name, you should at least try to address the reader by position. Options might include:  “Dear Admissions Counselor,” “Dear Admissions Board,” “Dear Admissions Director,”   Only use generic forms of address (e.g., “To Whom It May Concern,” “Dear Sir or Madam”) as a last resort. The first paragraph of your motivation letter should concisely summarize the rest of the letter, giving the reader an accurate idea of what to expect.  This first paragraph should only consist of one to three sentences, and you should indirectly state that you are presenting a motivation letter for your chosen program. For example, your opening line could be as simple as: "I am writing this letter to express my interest in the ABC Program of XYZ University." For the body of the letter, you need to tell the application board why you think this specific university and its program are your best option. You also need to explain why the program should accept you over other potential candidates.  Refer to the note you took previously regarding your own motivations and qualifications. Explain why the school should choose you. Describe your past academic and professional experiences as they apply to the program you're interested in. You need to provide facts here, but you also need to show how those facts affected you as a person. For example, you might mention how you reacted to the topic courses at an earlier academic level, like undergraduate school. Instead of merely stating that you took courses in the topic, describe how the content of those courses left you feeling fascinated, determined, or curious.  Explain why you chose this school, program, and location. Most universities are interested in accepting students who have a strong passion or motivation for attending. Note your professional goals and why you think this program offers you the best chance of...

If you know the person well enough, then consider her interests when coming up with date ideas. The more appealing the date sounds, the more likely she'll be to say yes. Furthermore, having a concrete plan with a place and time in mind makes you more decisive then if you said "Let's hang out some time," or, "I don't know, what do you want to do?" Here are some date ideas you should consider before asking:  If you share similar tastes in music, then invite her to an upcoming show or concert. Consider asking her to meet you for lunch or grabbing ice cream. If you enjoy cooking, then invite her over for a homemade dinner. Remember that dates don't necessarily have to revolve around meals; go for a hike together or hit the bowling alley! Try to think of an activity that involves talking and getting to know each other. Avoid asking her to the movies, where you will be sitting in silence and won't get a chance to talk. However, if you're set on going to the movies, take her to dinner beforehand or go out for ice cream after, so you get a chance to get to know each other. Greet her first to get the conversation going. If you have just met her and are unsure of whether she has your number saved in your phone, then you may need to remind her who you are. Say something like "Hey, this is [so and so], we met the other day." If you are positive she has your number, then text her something like "Hey, what's up?" or "Hey, how's your day going?"  If you have seen her recently, then try to come up with an excuse to start a conversation based on your last interaction. For example, if you were recently at a party together, text her something like "Hey, how was the rest of your night?" If you are in a class together, try something like "Are you ready for the test on Monday?" Wait until she responds to your first text before asking her out. Remember that she may be occupied and not have her phone with her, so be patient. Once you have gotten the conversation going, it's time to ask her out. You may want to start by asking her...

If you know the person well, you may be able to bring it up in conversation. Of course, this tactic could get very awkward very quickly, so be prepared for that. Try to use humor if possible. If you're not comfortable bringing it up in conversation, move on to trying a note. For instance, you could say, "I enjoy running around the house naked as much as the next person, but I do remember to close the blinds, unlike some people we know..." If it seems the exhibitionism is happening by accident, it may be best to just drop the person a note. For example, if the person is just walking around getting ready with the blinds down, they may not realize people can see in, and you'd actually be doing something nice to tell them so. You can try addressing the note anonymously so the person is less embarrassed. You could write, "I really don't want to embarrass you, but I want you to know that people can see in your house while you're getting ready in the morning. You might consider closing the blinds in the future." If the person is exposing themselves intentionally, dropping a nice note may not work. However, if you try appealing to their better nature by letting them know there are kids in the area, you may be able to get to them stop, at least during the day. If they don't stop after your first note, consider dropping another one that's more pointed. You could write, "Hi, I am the person who sent the last note about you exposing yourself. Apparently, you are doing it intentionally. I would like to remind you that there are kids in the are who can see your nudity. If you won't stop for me, consider stopping for the kids. If you don't, I'll have to get others involved."

If you know the subject of the meeting you’re attending, try to find a problem you want to address or a concern you have. Write them down on a notepad to bring with you to the meeting so you’re reminded to bring it up.  Make sure to talk about something you’re knowledgable in so you don’t overstep any boundaries. If the meeting is about a specific problem, brainstorm a few answers or suggestions you could bring up during the meeting. Arrive at your meeting early so you don’t feel rushed or short on time. As other people arrive, make small talk with them so you feel more comfortable and confident. That way, you build a good repertoire with others before saying something to the entire group. If you wait too long to speak during your meeting, other people may bring up your point. Aim to be one of the first few people to speak within the first 10-15 minutes so you can establish a confident voice. Even if you don’t have something substantial to say, affirming another person’s comment can make an impact. Listen carefully to what other people in the meeting bring up and ask questions if you have concerns about their approach. Talk about “next steps” or a different method that you may think works better. As you ask these sorts of questions, others will notice that you make useful contributions and that you care about your job. Once the meeting is over, talk to someone you trust about how much you spoke during the meeting. Ask them what you could change about how you speak to the group. They can tell you if you should talk more in the meetings or if you’re speaking too much, and offer pointers on what to do next time. Speaking to a higher-up also shows initiative in your job and makes you seem like a hard worker who’s looking to improve.

If you know what situations cause aggressive behavior in your child, you can be proactive in preventing the behavior. You can try to prepare the child for a new situation or let others around you know not to startle or upset your child until they are used to the situation.  For example, if you are going to take your child to a group gathering, you may want to play pretend to help them get used to the group situation. Place a bunch of dolls or stuffed animals around and lead your toddler around as you introduce them to your child. Have your child pack a bag and pretend to be going away to grandma's for the weekend to get used to the idea of being away from you. You may want to explain to the people at the gathering that they shouldn’t try to hug or touch your child until the child is familiar with them. If your child feels aggressive when their daily situations change, you should let them know the change is coming so it won’t be out of the blue. This helps mentally prepare the child for what is coming and reduce the aggressive behavior. If you know that you are going to have to go to the store soon and your child will have to stop playing, you should let them know. For example, you can say, “You can play for 10 more minutes, then we have to get ready to leave.” You should watch your child as they play for any aggressive behavior. Your child may be playing in an aggressive way, which may eventually become physical aggression. Tell your child not to play that way so that they know aggressive actions are not tolerated.  For example, if your child has their dolls hitting each other, you may say, “Your dolls don’t hit each other. It’s not good to hit others.” You may try suggesting a non-violent alternative. Say, “Dolls love and hug each other.” Letting your toddler witness violence may make them think it’s okay to be aggressive. This may be a problem if you have older children who watch certain movies or television shows or play video games. Be careful what toys you let your children play with. Consider limiting...

If you know what to look for, it's not hard to tell when someone is lying to you. Knowing how to recognize when the person is trying to deceive you can clue you in to how serious the issue is. Get to know how the person looks and acts in a normal, non-stressful situation, and contrast this with how they act when you think they may be lying. After a while you should be able to read the person's body language well enough to have a grasp on when they're not telling the truth.  Check out the way the person acts when you ask their birth date or hometown. Now compare that behavior to how the person acts when you ask a more difficult question, like whether they slept with your boyfriend or fudged numbers on a work document. If the person is telling the truth, they shouldn't show signs of stress when answering the more difficult questions. Forget what you've heard about lack of eye contact being an indication that someone is lying; in fact, many liars deliberately make eye contact because of this myth. When people lie they unconsciously exhibit other physical signs of stress. Look for these signs:  A fake smile that engages only the mouth, not the eyes. A higher-pitched voice than normal.  Dilated pupils. Very slow blink rate (and rapid blink rate when the lie is over).  Antsy foot movements, like toe-tapping or shuffling.  Face touching, like repeatedly covering the mouth, eyes or nose. Many people lie about a few subjects that make them extremely uncomfortable - usually their past bad behavior or something that makes them embarrassed. If the person in question tends to consistently lie when asked about a certain topic, you may just want to back off and stop pressing that particular issue. However, if the person's lies seem to have no rhyme or reason, with no pattern you can make out, you've got a bigger problem on your hands.  If someone lies every time you ask them about why their father is always absent, or why they never finished high school, or why they refuse to speak to a certain person, the answers to those...

If you know what you want a degree in from the beginning of your time in college, this will help you a lot. Knowing what you want allows you to take only classes that will help you, rather than fluff classes that get you nowhere. It's okay to change your mind of course, this can just really help. Use your time in high school, if you can, to decide what you want to study and do with your life. Getting experience in that field by volunteering can really help you figure things out. Study as much as you can and get good grades in order to get the most out of your time in college. Taking notes and paying attention in class will go a long way towards helping you learn. Get good at these skills if you really want to succeed. You can study on your own or with other people. Whatever works best for you. Working with others, however, allows you to take advantage of their notes. Get help when you need it. You can ask your classmates, make use of the tutoring center, or you can get help from your professor or the TA. Getting a degree involves taking the specific classes that a college requires for that degree. Make sure you're getting the right classes so that you can get your degree on time. Look for classes that meet more than one requirement, in order to speed up the time that it takes you to graduate. Try to take only classes that relate to your future career or degree. This will look better to and help get you ready for grad school. Papers often play a big part in determining your grades, so writing great papers will of course help your grades. However, most graduate schools will require a sample paper when you apply. Having a stellar one on hand can play a huge role in getting in. Read other good papers to get ideas on the best way to structure your paper, and how to present your evidence. Shoot to be original. Original, significant research is what gets you noticed as a scholar. Leave yourself plenty of time, so that you can have a draft ready to show the professor before the deadline and get feedback on it before...

If you know where someone will be at a given time, it's much easier to avoid them.  Find out where they work, if you don't know already. Avoid their place of work. If you work with the person, ask your manager if you can work a different shift. Avoid attending parties and other gatherings where you know that this person will be present--or try to stagger your attendance so that you aren't there at the same time. If an event has been organized over the Internet, check the guest list before you show up. Identify when and where you encounter this person, and avoid those situations. If you find that you keep running into someone, changing your habits may keep them out of your hair.  If you can't avoid the situations in which you usually encounter the person--say, you have a class together, or you work together--consider taking bigger steps: drop the class, or find a different job. Try to spend your time interacting with other people so that you don't find yourself alone with this particular person. Take a different route to school or work each day. Take a different route home. If you usually hang out somewhere after school, consider heading straight home. If you are worried that someone is following you or watching you, change your routines more often. Never take the same way home. Tell a parent, a teacher, or a responsible friend. Ignore their messages, and be careful about the personal information that you post. Your online life may be more public than you realize.  Consider blocking the person on Facebook. Consider "unfriending" the person, and setting your privacy settings so that they can't see your posts. This step may become necessary if a person won't stop harassing you. Delete the person from any relevant social media accounts: Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, etc. The less connected you are to a person, the easier it will be to avoid them. Be aware that if you block or delete a person from your social media profile, he or she may notice. This can send a strong message that you don't want to...

If you know where the nest is, use spray insect or ant killer to kill the ants and the queen. Read the label to look for specific ingredients, like bifenthrin, permethrin, or deltamethrin. Make sure to follow the instructions exactly since ant killer is toxic. Make sure to use caution with any pesticides in your home. Make sure to protect pets and children from getting into the ant killer. If plain boiling water doesn’t help, cover the ant hill with cleaning supplies. Use what you have you in your kitchen. Try dish detergent mixed with hot water. Pour it on top of the hill.  If you want to try something stronger, try pouring a cleanser or bleach mixture. Don’t use things like cleansers or bleach mixtures in areas where your pets or children may come across it. Ant bait is a type of pest killer that is poisonous to ants. The ant bait has a sweet substance mixed with the poisonous substance. It attracts ants, and the ants mistake it for food, so they carry it back to the nest.  The poison in ant bait is carried back to the nest and ingested by ants. If an ant dies and other ants eat it, they will ingest the poison that killed the ant. The ants will spread the poisonous food to the colony, including the queen. However, keep in mind that this can take up to three weeks. When you're doing this, don't spray or treat any ant trails that you see. Only 15% of the ants in the colony are foragers, and they will be quickly replaced. Instead, let them carry the ant bait back to the colony. If you fail to kill the queen ant and cannot get rid of the ants, call an exterminator. They can use methods to kill the ants and prevent infestations. Exterminators can be expensive, so you may want to try these other methods before calling someone to help.

If you know which room your hamster escaped in and you have sealed off all possible exits and hiding places, you can try to bait your hamster with sunflower seeds.  Set a trail of ten sunflower seeds leading into your hamster’s cage. Then, turn off all the lights in the room and sit quietly in one corner of the room. Your hamster will be attracted to the seeds and should reveal himself to you. He may even walk straight back into his cage. However, it may be some time until he shows himself and you may have to wait awhile in the dark room. You can also dust the floor around the seed bait with flour. Then when the hamster walks through the flour to get to the seeds, you will be able to see where he was headed. This is one of the most popular ways to catch a hamster. It is also a very simple trap that you can whip together using a tall bucket, a towel, several boxes or books, and a handful of treats.  Flip over a tall, plastic bucket so the opening is facing upward. Place the towel in the bucket to cushion your hamster’s fall when he lands in the trap. Put a handful of treats in the bucket as bait. It could be peanut butter on a cracker, a pile of sunflower seeds, or other treats that have a strong, enticing smell that your hamster will pick up on. You may also want to place a piece of lettuce or a water bottle on a stand in the bucket so your hamster has something to drink when he lands in the bucket. Create a ladder leading up to the bucket. Use a stack of books, legos, or a set of small boxes to make stairs your hamster can climb up on to reach the bait, and the trap. You can also place sunflower seeds or another treat on each step leading up the ladder to ensure your hamster makes it all the way to the top of the ladder and falls into the bucket. Close the door to the room and check the bucket periodically to see if your hamster has fallen for the trap. Hamsters are nocturnal creatures, so your hamster will likely be more active at night. If you have spent the day searching for your missing hamster to no...

If you know why the dog is underweight, such as a bitch that has recently raised a litter of strong, greedy puppies, or a rescue dog has been mistreated, then fattening up the dog will be relatively straight forward. Be sure to monitor the dog who is underweight, so that you can find any issues that might be easy to fix. For example, if you have several dogs, the answer can be as simple as the other dogs stealing your underweight dog's food. All kinds of illnesses can interfere with the body's ability to process food and get the goodness out of it, leading to weight loss. If this is the case, the dog will almost certainly show some signs including decreased appetite, increased thirst, lack of energy, vomiting, diarrhea, or a change of body shape.  Conditions that can cause weight loss include lack of pancreatic enzymes, diabetes mellitus, liver disease, kidney disease, cancer, and inflammatory bowel disease.  Again, if you notice any of these symptoms then a vet check is for the best. If you suspect your dog is ill, or if you notice unexplained weight loss, it's best to consult a vet. If your dog suddenly has a poor appetite for no reason, it's also best to consult a professional before the problem gets out of control. Once the vet gives the all clear, and you know you just have a fussy dog, then there are a variety of strategies that can help improve its appetite.

If you know you have an ovarian cyst and experience either sudden abdominal pain or pain along with nausea, vomiting, and fever, call your physician or go to the ER right away. If you experience cold, clammy skin or any rapid breathing or lightheadedness, call your physician or go to the ER right away. If you are postmenopausal and have an ovarian cyst, you should know that this puts you at higher risk for ovarian cancer. You should be evaluated using an ultrasound and have a blood test for CA125 and/or OVA1. These are markers for a number of different conditions, including ovarian cancer. OVA-1 is more specific for ovarian cancer. If there is any suspicion that the cyst may be cancerous, the cysts should be removed. The symptoms of ovarian cysts are not diagnostic. To really know if you have an ovarian cysts, your doctor will perform a pelvic exam. Your doctor may be able to feel for swelling that is consistent with ovarian cysts. Depending on your other symptoms, your doctor may want to order more tests to measure hormone levels and to rule out other conditions may be ordered as well. A pregnancy test is also likely to be ordered by your doctor. If you are pregnant, you may have a corpus luteum cyst. This type of cyst occurs when your egg gets released, and the follicle fills with fluid. Your doctor may also want to rule out an ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy occurs with the embryo implants itself somewhere other than the uterus. If your doctor determines that you have a cyst, you will likely have to have some imaging tests, such as an ultrasound. These imaging tests are used to locate and characterize an ovarian cyst. The imaging tests will help your doctor determine the size, shape, and exact location of the cyst. It also helps your doctor learn if the cyst is filled with fluid, solid, or mixed. For most women, watchful waiting is recommended as long as the symptoms are manageable. Remember, most ovarian cysts disappear on their own. For some women, using hormones in the form of birth control...

If you know you will be outside a lot, or outside in rainy or windy weather, skip your white clothes in favor of a more forgiving color. Although whites do not have to be stuffed into the back of your closet or set aside only for calm, careful lounging indoors, to keep your whites a brilliant white, you do have to be careful how and when you wear them. White can be useful to wear in the summer heat, so you may not be able to avoid wearing white outdoors or in inclement weather. If this is the case, try to only wear white on top; white bottoms and shoes will tarnish quickly. White clothes and pizza do not mix. The same goes for virtually any dish with a tomato-based sauce, or a food item with a dipping sauce. Opt instead for fresh ingredients (think vegetables and salads) whenever possible, as few of these ingredients stain. If you are wearing white when you go out and have no choice but to eat stain-prone foods, use your napkin to your advantage; tuck it into your collar, or spread it over your lap to catch dripping food. Children spiffed up in their Sunday best are undeniably adorable. Children covered in dirt and food, while also adorable, are highly likely. Trying to keep whites white with children is a difficult task. Although using these tips and tricks will help, largely avoiding whites for children will prove an easier task.  If you must use whites with your children, treat any stains immediately upon removal. White onesies and T-shirts are often stained yellow from drool. To prevent this difficult-to-remove staining, use drool bibs or handkerchiefs. While some clothing items allow you to wear them 2-3 times before needing a wash, whites do not hold up quite as well. Each time you wear your white clothes, they should be washed. Even if you can’t see dirt or grime, everything from the sweat of your body to the chemicals contained in your deodorant has the potential to turn your whites a dingy yellow or gray. These items should not be allowed to linger any more than necessary. For jeans and skirts, wash...

If you know you will need to stay awake for a long period, make sure to get plenty of rest beforehand. The best plan is to sleep very well the night before, but even a short nap before having to stay awake can help. If you are staying up so that you can work at a computer or other in another situation where you concentrate on something for long periods, make sure to give your eyes a break. Every twenty minutes or so, set aside a minute to look away from the screen to rest your eyes. This helps you retain your focus and resist fatigue. A brief nap can actually increase your energy and alertness when you are trying to stay awake. However, you should only nap for 5-25 minutes, and you should not take more than one nap a day.  Make sure to set an alarm clock—or several—so that you will wake up from your nap. You may also feel groggy when you first wake up from your nap, so give yourself some time to get back to normal. If you can’t fall asleep, even closing your eyes and resting for 10 minutes can reinvigorate you. Even if you plan well ahead of time, staying awake for 24 hours or more will leave you feeling very fatigued. However, some research shows that you can make up for a lack of sleep by sleeping more afterwards. The day or night after you stay awake for a long period, give yourself the opportunity to sleep longer than usual. Most adults need 7-8 hours of sleep a night.

If you know you won’t be using your vinyl seats for some time, cover them in a clean white cloth.  This will prevent dust from settling on them, and from deterioration caused by the sun.  Even when your vinyl seats are in regular use, you can buy comfortable cloth covers for them. To ensure your vinyl cushions don’t grow moldy, store them in a cool, dry room.  Do not place your vinyl cushions in a damp basement or a humid attic (or a similar space). If vinyl seats are heated to an excessive temperature, the fabric adhesive that binds them may start to dissolve.  This will cause your vinyl seats to crack.  To prevent this, keep the seats out of direct sunlight. If your vinyl seats are in a car, park in a variety of parking spots to prevent the sun from always falling on the same spots.  Also, crack your window or sunroof to keep the temperature down.  Cover the vinyl seats with seat covers to prevent direct sunlight from striking them. If you spill something on your vinyl seats, or if you notice they’ve acquired stains or grime, clean them immediately.  The longer a stain sits, the harder it will be to clean later.

If you know you're planning on getting fast food during the day, it's important to make sure you manage your hunger appropriately so you don't overdo it at the drive through.  If you skip meals or snacks or go into a meal too hungry, you're more likely to overeat and make poorer food choices.  This is dangerous if you know you're going to a fast food restaurant. If you need it, have a snack about 2 hours prior to hitting the drive through.  Keep it simple and small - just enough to prevent you from becoming overly hungry.  A piece of fruit, a small yogurt, a hard boiled egg or a protein bar are great options. Avoid trying to skip meals, snacks or under-eating to help save up calories for a higher calorie fast food meal. Pack meals and snacks at home. These will help to curb your hunger and reduce your urge to pick something up to eat from a fast food restaurant. To make sure you keep your fast food consumption in check, make sure you intentionally choose when and how often you're eating fast food meals.  If you're not planning for fast food, you're probably more likely to stop by on a whim or when you're overly hungry. Instead, plan to have fast food occasionally.  When you plan for it, you're preparing yourself in advance which may help you make healthier choices at the restaurant. Also, take a look at the menu you before you go.  Review what you might be interested in and what options are the healthiest.  Most fast food restaurants now offer their menus and nutritional information online. You may also want to compare a few places to see what restaurant will you offer you the healthiest and most enjoyable meal. Sometimes you might find yourself stopping for fast food meal on an overly busy day or evening.  Even if it's not something you planned on doing, you can still make the rest of your day healthy.  Don't feel that one "slip-up" or one not so healthy meal ruins your entire day.  You still have multiple food choices during the day to pick something nutritious for your body.

If you know your Android's regular passcode but can't unlock due to a third-party lock screen app, you can use Safe Mode to delete the lock screen app.  Some apps will install malware apps which password-protect the lock screen. Using Safe Mode will allow you to delete these apps. Keep in mind that you'll need to know your Android's regular lock screen combination or passcode in order to complete this method. It's usually on the right side of the Android's housing. A menu will appear. Doing so will prompt another pop-up menu to appear after a few seconds. On a Samsung Galaxy, you'll instead tap Restart, then hold down the Volume Down button while the Android reboots. You can skip the next two steps. It should be at the top of the menu. It's at the bottom of the menu. Doing so will prompt your Android to begin restarting. Once your Android finishes rebooting, you should see "Safe mode" in the bottom-left corner of the screen. For Samsung Galaxy Androids, remember to hold down the Volume Down button while rebooting to open Safe Mode. Your third-party lock screen app won't load, so you'll just need to know your Android's usual lock screen passcode or password. Swipe down from the top of the screen (you may need to use two fingers), then tap the gear-shaped Settings icon in the drop-down menu. It's near the middle of the screen. Scroll through the list of apps on your Android until you find the app which was locking your screen, then tap the app in question. It should be near the top of the screen. This will prompt the app to uninstall without requiring a passcode. You can restart your Android back into the normal mode by holding down the Power button and tapping Restart (or tapping Power off and then pressing the Power button again).

If you know your microwave is particularly dirty, add 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of vinegar to the lemon juice to act as a stronger cleaning agent. Be sure to stir the mixture thoroughly, since vinegar can have a strong smell that may linger in your microwave. If you don't have any caked-on food in your microwave, you shouldn't need to add any vinegar to the lemon water. If there's a spot that just won't come off, wet the corner of the towel with any leftover lemon water. Then, vigorously scrub the spot to remove the stain. If the stain won't budge, you may need to use a mild abrasive. If you don't have any lemon water left, microwave a new batch for 2 minutes and let it stand for 5 minutes in the microwave. Then, use the leftover water to help remove the mark. Sprinkle baking soda on a stain and let it sit for 1-2 minutes. Then, dip the cloth in the lemon water and scrub the stain vigorously.  The baking soda will act as a gentle abrasive to chip away at baked-on food, and the lemon water will help dissolve the food as it comes off. Be sure to wipe the area clean so there's no baking soda left behind on the interior of the microwave.

If you know your period is right around the corner, but it hasn't quite started yet, consider putting on a pad or pantyliner before you go to bed. Doing so will help prevent leaks if you unexpectedly start your period during the night.  Tampons shouldn't be inserted before you've started your period, as this can lead to bacterial buildup. Menstrual cups are usually okay to insert right before your period, though.  If you've just started getting periods and they aren't regular yet, it can be tricky to know if you're close to starting your period. Try looking for signs of PMS you might get - do you feel more bloated or sore, get a lot of acne, experience spotting, get cramps, have mood swings, or other pre-period symptoms? The more blood your pad or tampon has already absorbed, the less it can take in during the night (meaning, more leaks!). To combat this, put on a fresh pad or insert a new tampon right before you go to bed. It helps you feel fresher, too.  It's best to switch from a tampon to a pad before you sleep, since leaving a tampon in overnight can cause infections or toxic shock syndrome. If you use a menstrual cup, empty it before you sleep. Towels themselves don't prevent leaks, but if you do leak, using one can help to minimize the damage done to your sheets and mattress. To avoid having the staining issue with towels, make sure they're dark colors as well. Similar to the sheets, having "period towels" can be useful. There's no real "right" or "wrong" position to sleep in while on your period, but it's encouraged to sleep in a position that's most comfortable to you. This will help keep you from moving around too much, leading to less bunching in pads - and therefore, less leaking. As a bonus, it also helps you to fall asleep easier! Regardless of how you sleep, try to keep your legs closed rather than sprawling out across the bed. If your legs are wide open during the night, your pad may move while you sleep. Even if you haven't leaked during the middle of the night, you'll still want to take...

If you know your spouse has retained an attorney, you can contact him and ask if a divorce has been filed. However, the attorney has a duty of confidentiality to his client and is under no obligation to give you any information. If the answer is "no" or evasive, keep searching in order to verify whether a divorce has been filed.  If the answer is "yes," you have several options. The first is to contact an attorney of your own and let her deal with your spouse on your behalf. Next is to deal directly with his attorney. If you don't have children and very little property, the divorce maybe be as simple as arranging a meeting to sign agreements. Remember that while your spouse's attorney may be very nice and helpful, he represents your spouse and his interests, not you. If are feel uncomfortable or pressured, back off and contact your own attorney. You have a right to copies of all documents and time to review them outside the attorney's office. This will depend on your individual situation. If your relationship with him is safe, meaning no history of domestic violence, sometimes the direct approach is the best. If your relationship with his family is cordial, a phone call to a parent or sibling may tip you to the truth. Check the social media pages for your spouse, his closest friends, and family. Also run an online of search of your spouse's name and "divorce." You may pick up an online docket or catch someone gossiping. Be very careful and verify you have found your spouse. In informal forums, people may use nicknames, odd spellings, and not use full names. However, it still gives you a place to start. Court clerks will speak to you over the phone, but in large counties they are very busy and may be brusque or not check the records thoroughly. It is better to go to the courthouse in person.  Most courthouses have a public records computer terminal. You can search by your name or the name of your spouse. Check them carefully and get the right file. The documents can usually be printed for a small fee. Ask the...

If you know you’ll be spending the day with a relative you dislike, make sure you come into the situation as prepared as possible. If this person brings out an aggressive or testy side of you, make sure you get a good night’s sleep the night before. If you’re feeling tired and grumpy at the family Christmas party, leave early. And make sure you’ve eaten, too: if your blood sugar is stable, you’re less likely to become angry or aggressive. If someone belittles you, talks down to you, or says mean things to you, it’s important to remember that this is more a reflection of the person than it is of you. Stand firm and remember who you are. Do your best to tune out the words, and remind yourself, “This is not about me. This is my aunt’s projection.”  People are often mean because they have their own personal issues they are dealing with. This can happen when people have low self esteem, anger issues, or stress.  Have compassion for your relative; pray that he or she finds hope one day. Other people might act a certain way and truly believe it is okay and normal. This can be caused by a number of factors, but one example might be a person who lets their competitive and cutthroat business style seep into their personal life. Some individuals simply don't have the biological tools needed to feel empathy. This may be brought about by genetic differences or by the way someone was brought up (i.e., the environment they grew up in). There’s likely nothing you can do to change the person whom you don’t get along. You may have a fantasy of a happy family celebrating every holiday together, and when this relative comes, it crushes that fantasy. It’s up to you to drop this fantasy and accept that this is the family you have, and that fantasy is nothing more than a happy and nice thought that’s not based in reality. Instead of approaching this relative in judgment and disgust, practice being accepting and empathic. Listen when your relative talks and try to understand this person’s point of view. Practice loving compassion...

If you learn that someone's been spreading nasty rumors about you, your first action should be to consult with your close friends. These should be people you know and trust. Tell them the facts of the situation. If the rumor's not true, they'll be sure to fight the spread of the rumor by shooting it down whenever they hear someone bring it up. If the rumor is true, they can still help stop its spread by sticking up for you and chastising people that spread it. Another great reason to turn to your friends is that they'll make you feel like you're not overwhelmed. When it seems like everyone you know is talking about you behind your back, you can feel absolutely surrounded - good friends will remind you that there are always people who love and respect you. If you know for sure who's responsible for spreading a nasty rumor about you, don't take it lying down. When you have a chance, walk right up to him or her and say that you don't appreciate the mean things s/he has said. Stay calm when you do this - you don't want to resort to the cruel words that this person has. You also don't want to give bystanders the impression that the rumor's true if it's not - if they don't know all the facts, they may assume an especially angry rebuttal means that the rumor's true.  Say something polite yet direct, like: "Hey. I want you to know that I don't appreciate the things you've been saying about me. Please stop." Then, just walk away - this person doesn't deserve your time. Ignore any insults you hear as you're walking away. Sometimes, the person who started the rumor didn't do it on purpose. It may, for instance, be a friend who simply let a secret slip by accident. In cases like this, it's OK to express your disappointment, but you should avoid acting in a way that seems vindictive or accusatory (as above.) When you're worried about a piece of gossip changing the way others think about you, it's bad enough. Don't let gossip change the way  you  think about yourself! The worst thing you can do is to allow a piece of...

If you leave the chain long, you can string it through a space to add a festive flair. Hang the chain a little bit loose, so that it dips low in the center. Try crossing chains over one another, alternating colors, or even linking long chains together to make a super-chain. If you're having a party, use a waist- or chest-level paper chain to block off a "private area" like a staircase, a hallway, or a section of backyard. The paper may not hold up to force, but it will serve as a gentle deterrent to wayward guests. You can string up paper chains for a birthday, a party, or a major holiday. Match the colors of the chains to the theme of the party, or to the colors usually associated with that holiday. Get creative! " If winter or Christmas is coming up, try making a faux-wreath using one or more paper chains. For the basic design: use green construction paper, then loop the finished chain into one large circle. You can add concentric small green circles to fill out the "wreath." For added effect, make a "bow" from red paper or string, and tie it to the front of the wreath. Hang the wreath on your door, your wall, your fence, your tree. The paper wreath should be light, and easy to attach with tape or a hook. Tie a series of (preferably small) loops together into a large loop that fits around your neck. For best effect, make the individual links rather small: not much more than half an inch wide and two inches long. One idea: string an array of bright, colorful loops together into a paper "lei" – a traditional Hawaiian flower necklace. Try looping a long chain of tight golden links into a "gold chain" – perhaps even two chains!

If you leave your washing machine untouched, it can start to get smelly over time. A good preventative measure is to wipe down the interior surfaces on a regular basis to avoid buildups of grime and residue.  Use a warm washcloth to wipe down the interior. Be sure to get into all the nooks and crannies. You can also use a bit of vinegar to help sanitize the inside of your washing machine. Add 2  c (470 mL) of bleach to the detergent container on your washing machine. Run the empty laundry machine on a hot cycle, but stop the machine as soon as the water starts swishing around. You can usually stop the machine by pressing pause, pulling out the knob, or using another method indicated in the instruction manual.  Let the hot water and bleach sit in the washing machine for approximately 30 minutes. Then finish running the load so the remaining traces of bleach are removed. Make sure you rinse out the bleach thoroughly before using the washing machine again. If there is any remaining bleach, it could possibly stain your laundry or anything else it comes into contact with. Laundry detergents that are made for use in high-efficiency washing machines are better at maintaining cleanliness because they produce fewer suds during the cleaning process than regular detergents. This means that some of the excess particles may not get rinsed out of your clothes or your washing machine. Using the high-efficiency detergent on a daily basis will help keep your machine fresher longer, and will allow you to clean your washing machine less frequently.

If you let your nails grow too long and get jagged and rough, they are more likely to break off and get weaker. Your nails are kind of like your hair - without regular upkeep, they start to get weaker at the tips. Trimming your nails regularly is one important way to help them stay strong.  Trim your nails with a nail clipper or nail scissors - not a regular pair of scissors or any other type of trimming instrument. And make sure your clippers or scissors are sharp! Don't trim your nails too short. Trimming them to the quick can leave the tips of your fingers prone to hangnails and infections. Leave a little white edge at the tips of your nails. the right way. Filing the nails in a sawing motion is one of the most damaging things you can do, since it destroys the fibers in your nails. This can actually weaken the entire nail, not just the tip! To file the right way, use an emery board and lightly run the file in one direction only, instead of sawing back and forth. Some people like to trim their cuticles all the way back, but this can leave your nail beds prone to infection. Instead of trimming your cuticles, consider soaking them and then lightly pushing them back using a cuticle pusher. This way they'll be out of the way when you paint your nails, but they'll still protect your fingers from getting infected with bacteria.  Soak your nails in warm water for about 5 minutes to start. You can add a little oil if you want to. Use a cuticle stick to push back the cuticles toward the base of the nails. Don't press down too hard, and don't force them back. Don't rip or shred the cuticles. If your fingers and nails tend to get dry, using some oil or lotion is a great way to strengthen and hydrate them. Put on lotion each time you take a shower. You can also cover your fingers in lotion before you go to bed at night, so your fingers and nails will be hydrated by morning. Here are a few hydrating products that will help your nails get strong:  Aloe Chia gel Olive oil Coconut oil Argan oil Castor oil Almond oil Jojoba...

If you like a girl, and you're pretty sure she likes you, it's important to spend some alone time together. Hanging out with a group of friends together can be fun, but it won't allow you two to make a personal connection. Break off from your group of friends from time to time to have meaningful conversations and get to know each other one-on-one. If you do something fun together, she will remember it. Ask her what types of things she likes to do for fun, and do those things. Once she realizes that she has enjoyed hanging out with you on multiple occasions, she may be more comfortable admitting that she likes you. Creating enjoyable memories together is a great way to continuously remind someone how much they enjoy spending time with you. If you're unsure whether or not a girl likes you, her body language is usually a dead giveaway. Pay attention to how a girl acts when she is around you. She might be too shy to actually tell you that she likes you, but her body language will be pretty obvious.  If she gives you her full attention when you speak, this can sometimes be a sign. When you're talking with a group of people, it's easy for people to get distracted and not give you their full interest. However, if she makes a point to pay attention to everything you say, this could be a sign that she likes you. Does she play with her hair around you? Girls often flirt with their body language by twirling their hair when they're around someone they like. If a girl is consistently playing with her hair in a flirty way, this could be a sign she likes you. Don't confuse this with a girl whose hair is in her way, or a girl who is putting her hair in a ponytail.  Does she always stay close to you or find reasons to touch you? A girl will go out of her way to be physically near you if she likes you. She'll grab your arm if you make her laugh, she'll always sit next to you, etc. Does she flirt with you? This is the most obvious sign, but a girl probably likes you if she's always flirting with you. When a girl likes you, she...

If you like your cauliflower to have a little bite, cook it for 3 minutes. If you know you like cauliflower to be completely soft, microwave it for 4 minutes. Microwave the cauliflower on full power. The cauliflower will continue to cook as it rests. After 1 minute, wear oven mitts to remove the hot bowl and carefully lift the lid or covering off. Insert a fork into a floret to see if it's as tender as you want.  The steam in the bowl is very hot, so lift the lid away from your face. If the cauliflower isn't as soft as you want, cover the bowl and return it to the microwave. Heat the cauliflower for 1 minute and check it again. There might be a little water left in the bottom of the bowl. If there is, carefully pour the cauliflower into a fine-mesh strainer over a sink so the water drains.

If you limit the amount of fluids you drink in the few hours preceding bedtime, then your body will produce less urine overnight, making you less likely to wet the bed. This does not mean cut back on your overall fluid intake. You should still aim to drink around eight glasses of water each day. Simply try to consume them in the morning and afternoon hours. Staying hydrated is equally important since dehydration can also lead to adult bedwetting. Both caffeine and alcohol are diuretics, which mean they cause the body to produce more urine. Alcohol also dulls your body’s ability to wake you in the night to urinate when you have to go, leading to instances of bedwetting. Avoid caffeinated beverages and excessive intake of alcohol at night. Constipation can place pressure on your bladder lowers your control during the night. If your instances of bedwetting happen in conjunction with instances of constipation, then you should try adding more fiber to your diet, which you can get from leafy greens, legumes, and other plant-based sources. You can find more information about treating your constipation by reading How to Regulate Bowel Movements. Bedwetting alarms can also help teens and adults who need to train their bodies to react to the need to urinate. A bedwetting alarm attaches to the underwear or pad on the mattress and beeps or buzzes the second it senses moisture, allowing you to get up and void your bladder before a full bedwetting incident occurs. Several medications have shown an increase in bedwetting as a possible side effect. Check to see if your medication regimen may be responsible, but always consult your doctor before you alter your schedule of prescription medications. Some drugs that may cause bedwetting include:  Clozapine Risperidone Olanzapine Quetiapine If you also snore loudly and wake in the morning with chest pain, headaches, and sore throat symptoms, then you may suffer from sleep apnea. Bedwetting is another symptom associated with the condition for adults who have otherwise had no prior...

If you live in a big city, such as New York or Los Angeles, then having an agent is ideal. However, if you live in a small or mid-size city with a population of less than one million, then you may want to consider working as a freelance model. While agencies in large cities will often cover the cost of things like headshots, agencies in smaller cities will not and they may also charge more for their services in order to stay in business. Keep in mind that working as a freelance model will mean that you are in charge of your own booking, development, billing, and dispute resolution. If you do not think that you are up to the task, then try to find an agent. Networking is a great way to meet models and people in the modeling industry who can help you to find modeling jobs. Networking involves meeting people, getting to know them in a casual, conversational way, and then asking them for suggestions and advice about how to find jobs.  Attend modeling industry events in your area. Mixers, parties, and other events can offer you some great networking opportunities. Make sure that you add these events to your calendar and start making yourself a regular presence in the modeling world. Try to meet people who have influence. For example, someone who hires models for a magazine is more influential than someone who has modeled for that magazine. However, keep in mind that someone who it not influential today may be influential tomorrow, so be nice to everyone.  Be friendly and engaging. It may be tempting to start talking about your career and as for help finding a job, but this is a mistake. Instead, try to have a nice, friendly conversation with everyone you meet. Ask questions, listen, and show genuine interest. Whether you plan to freelance or work with an agency, consider setting up a web site as another kind of digital portfolio. As a marketing tool, a web site under your own name will make you easier to find, and you can direct potential clients to a wider variety of your work.  Social media sites are not as...

If you live in a coastal zone, the occurrence of an earthquake should be immediate cause for alarm and evasive action. If the sea suddenly recedes (draws back), leaving bare sand, this is a major warning sign that there is about to be a sudden surge of water inland. Watch for animals leaving the area or behaving abnormally, such as trying to seek human shelter or grouping together in ways they would not normally do. If the local authorities do have time to issue a warning, take heed. Inform yourself in advance of how the local authorities plan to make warnings so that you do not mistake or ignore the warning when it comes. Share that information with family, friends, neighbors and the community; if the local authorities have pamphlets, a website or other information sources, ask for copies to distribute or request that the local authority fulfills this role.

If you live in a house with other people aside from your partner, you probably want to take precautions to avoid awkward moments. Make sure the kids are tucked in and ready to sleep before you perform your own nightly routine and get undressed. This limits the prospect of a sleepy kid barging in on you while you're naked.  If you're particularly worried, don't get undressed until the moment before you hop into bed. Brush your teeth and turn off the light while you're still clothed. Don't forget to keep a robe right next your bed, just in case. You may be in a position to lock or lightly bar the door so no one can walk right in. If you're living in a house with other adults, you might want to get a lock installed so you'll feel more comfortable being naked in your bedroom. If you have little kids and locking the door isn't feasible, try placing a thick towel under the door or putting a chair in front of it. That way you'll get at least a few moments' warning before your child makes his or her way in. That way you'll be up and clothed before the kids come knocking at your door. If you need more sleep, but you know other people in the house will be waking soon, you can put on a nightshirt and get back into bed to spend the last few moments of your morning sleeping clothed. You may want to have a conversation with your kids to tell them that your bedroom is your private space between certain hours. Have them get into the habit of knocking and waiting for your reply before they come inside. That will give you time to put on your robe before they see you naked.  There will probably be times when your kids do manage to see your bare shoulders peeking out from the covers, and that's OK. It's perfectly normal to sleep naked, and the fact that you do is not something you need to hide from your children. Letting them know that you and your partner sleep naked, and that everyone deserves privacy before they put their clothes on, is a fine way to handle the situation and hopefully prevent awkward barge-ins.

If you live in a place with mild winters - growing zone 10-12 or higher - you should be able to plant the poinsettia directly in the ground, where it will grow as a perennial and get larger with each passing year. If you're in a place where the temperature dips to freezing temperatures during the winter, you're better off keeping it in the pot as a houseplant. Poinsettia are native to Mexico, and they need a warm climate to thrive. If you bought the poinsettia during the winter as a decoration, keep the plant in the pot until spring, even if you live in a place with mild winters. If it came in foil remove the wrapper so water can drain from the pot. It needs to stay potted until the weather gets warm enough to transplant it. Water it whenever the soil starts to dry out.  At the beginning of spring, in March or April, cut the poinsettia back to about 8 inches. This will encourage it to begin a new growing cycle and get it ready for transplanting. Keep it watered and fertilize it once a month or so until early summer, when it's time for transplanting. Look for a place where the poinsettia will get morning sun as well as light or partial shade during the heat of the afternoon. Till the soil and loosen it to a depth of 12 to 16 inches (30 to 40 cm). Enrich the soil by adding organic compost if necessary. Poinsettias prefer rich, well-drained soil. Dig a hole as wide as the poinsettia's root ball and plant the poinsettia. Pat soil gently around the base of the stem. Mulch the area around the base of the plant with 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7 cm) of organic mulch. This keeps the soil cool and helps it retain moisture. You can apply a 12-12-12 or 20-20-20 compound at the start of the growing season or fertilize the plant with compost. If your soil is not very rich, you may need to fertilize the plants once a month. Water the plant at the base whenever the soil around the plant feels dry to the touch. Avoid overhead watering, which could cause fungal disease to form on the leaves of the plant. Pinch small growing shoots...

If you live in a rented space, this might not be an option for you. However, if you’re able to, painting the walls in your house can be one of the quickest ways to freshen up the look and add a bit of interest. Choose a color that complements your personality and fits your space. If you’re bubbly and fun, consider a golden yellow or bright green. Calm and collected? A shade of gray or blue might be more your pace. Paint isn’t permanent, so feel free to experiment with colors until you find a look you love!  Don’t be afraid to try several colors spread throughout your home; although you don’t want many different bright colors, painting each room a different color is totally appropriate.     Although it’s not as in style as it used to be, you can apply wallpaper on an accent wall to add a bit of pattern, if you want. There are even wall decals that act like wallpaper but are removable, if you’re afraid of the permanence of it.     If you’re not ready to paint one whole room (let alone your house!), try adding an accent wall. This is when you paint just a single wall in a room, typically one that gets a lot of attention, a bright or cheery color that matches your décor.    Furniture is arguably the most important aspect of decorating; if you’re short on furniture or have been using the same pieces for many years, consider bringing some new furniture into your home. Choose comfortable pieces in colors and styles that match your personality. Don’t be afraid to try something other than what the store model has set up; furniture that truly shows your personality will fit in your space better than boring floor model furniture you pick up because it is on sale.  Don’t be afraid to buy used furniture from thrift stores; it is easy to repaint and reupholster these to match your space.     Mix and match furniture rather than using only matching sets; you’ll end up with a more unique look, and probably save some money in the process.    Whether you’re incredibly organized or a bit of a hoarder, nearly everyone has stuff...

If you live in a rural or suburban area with a yard, host a weekend campout! Invite neighbor children over, pitch a tent, and provide some fun games and activities such as sing-alongs, stargazing, and story time. The National Wildlife Federation sponsors an annual "Great American Backyard Campout" that includes public campout events. If you live in an urban area or don't have a backyard, joining one of these events could be a good option. Get your children involved in planting and maintaining the plants as they grow. There are many websites that offer suggestions for kid-friendly gardens. You can even build fun projects such as a "bean teepee" (bean vines grown up long poles tied together) that your kids can use as an outdoor play space. If you don't have a lot of outdoor space, you can still have a garden area! Try making a fairy garden, or planting a planter box with herbs such as rosemary and thyme that are easy to grow (and you can use them in meals!). If you have a little more space, you can grow a container garden. You can make a bean fort or bean teepee, or you can give your kids the raw materials to make their own forts. All you need are some old sheets, some long branches, and maybe some cardboard. Let your kids use their imagination to build a fun play space! " There are many places online to find scavenger hunt lists, or you can make your own. Having a challenge will keep your kids occupied and give them a sense of accomplishment when they've finished the quest. This will work for kids who live in the city as well as those in rural or suburban areas! If your children like collecting stuff, send them outside with a bucket or basket to find items for fun craft projects. Seeds, pine cones, rocks, flowers, and leaves can all be made into fun crafts and gifts. In the summer time, turn on the garden hose, add some buckets and squirt toys, and let your kids go wild! Squirting some soapy water on a tarp will give your kids a homemade slip 'n slide for hours of fun. Give your child an inexpensive camera...

If you live in a tropical country you may be able to find fresh Jamaican sorrel. It's a bright red flower that can be used to add a ruby hue to your hair that sparkles in the sun. If you can't find fresh Jamaican sorrel, buy the dried version instead. You'll need two cups. In addition, get the following supplies:  2 cups water 1/4 cup honey Place the two cups of water in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil, then add the sorrel, cover the pan with a lid, and turn off the heat. Let it soak for several hours so that the sorrel dye steeps into the water, then strain the water into a bowl and mix in the honey. Shampoo your hair as usual, but don't use conditioner. Conditioner stays in the hair and can prevent the dye from setting as well. Towel dry  your hair and use a wide-toothed comb to remove tangles. Put on latex or plastic gloves and use your fingers to spread the mixture through your hair from the roots to the tips. Make sure to distribute it well so that no strands of hair get left out. If you want red highlights, choose just a few strands, separate them from the rest of the hair using strips of aluminum foil, and use an old paintbrush or pastry brush to apply the treatment. Use a plastic shower cap or plastic wrap to cover your hair so it doesn't dry out while the dye is soaking in. Let it sit for 4 hours or overnight. The longer the dye stays in your hair, the redder it will look. Remove the cap or plastic wrap and rinse your hair with warm water. Shampoo and condition as usual, then dry your hair and style it.

If you live in an area that grows mangoes, visit local orchards to select a fruit. If you don’t have access to a healthy mango tree, visit a local grocer or farmer's market to select a fruit. Ask the salesperson for help in choosing a fruit that is polyembryonic.  Polyembryonic seeds will produce clones of the parent tree. A polyembryonic seed should come from the fruit of a tree that thrives in your area. This way, you have a good idea of exactly the type of fruit you are getting — it should taste identical to the fruit of the parent tree. Eat the mango, or remove all existing fruit, until the fibrous pit is exposed. Clean the pit with a scrub brush, or steel wool pad, until all hairs have been removed. Be careful not to scrub away at the outer coating of the pit, and only to remove the fruit fibers that are still attached. Dry the pit overnight in a cool location away from direct sunlight. Open the pit with a sharp knife, as you would shuck an oyster, being careful not to cut too deeply and damage the enclosed seed. Pry the pit open and remove the seed, which resembles a large lima bean. Place the seed about an inch deep, and concave side down, in a container full of quality potting soil. Dampen the soil and store the container in a warm, shaded area until the seed sprouts. This process usually takes one to three weeks. At this point, your seed is ready to be planted in its permanent location. If you plan to have it outside, try to plant it directly outside rather than putting it in a plant and transplanting it, as that way you won’t have to worry about hardening it off or it going into soil shock.

If you live in an earthquake-prone area, such as California, make sure you are prepared should an earthquake strike. Having supplies is one way to be prepared, so you'll have exactly what you need on hand should disaster strike.  You’ll want to have a fire extinguisher, a battery-powered radio, a flashlight, and extra batteries. It is also good to have plenty of non-perishable food and bottled water, in case power is out for a while. At a minimum, you should have enough food and water for 3 days on hand. The CDC recommends keeping 1 gallon of water per person per day. Don't forget to think about your pets, as they will consume food and water, too. Also, check the food and water you store for emergencies at least once a year to use up or throw away food and water that is near or past its expiration date. In an earthquake, injuries can happen. Having a first aid kit on hand can help you deal with minor injuries, especially since emergency rooms will likely be overloaded. You can buy a kit ready-made, or you can gather supplies to make your own.  The American Red Cross recommends that you have the following items in your first aid kit: adhesive bandages (25 in various sizes), adhesive cloth tape, absorbent compress dressings (2 5-by-9-inch dressings), 2 roller bandages (1 each 3 inch and 4 inch), sterile gauze pads (5 3-by-3-inch pads and 5 4-by-4-inch pads), and 2 triangular bandages. You'll also need things like antibiotic ointment, antiseptic, aspirin, cold compresses, a breathing barrier (for CPR), hydrocortisone, non-latex gloves (in case of latex injuries), an oral thermometer, tweezers, a first aid booklet (available from places like the Red Cross store), and an emergency (space) blanket). If you, a family member, or friend are injured during an earthquake and can’t get help, you will be grateful that you know how to take care of basic injuries. First aid and CPR classes teach you what to do in an emergency if someone is injured.  Learning first aid can teach you how to deal with injuries such as cuts,...

If you live in apartment, you want to protect it from your pet. Therefore, make sure you provide a place for you cat to scratch that's not the carpet. You can find inexpensive scratching boards at any pet store; some are even made out of cardboard. If you have knickknacks that are breakable, it's best to hide them away, even if you think they are out of your cat's reach. She is a curious creature, and she will climb onto places you wouldn't expect, knocking off your breakables. Not only will you lose the knickknacks, your kitty could get hurt on broken shards. If you don't believe in declawing your cat, clip your cat's toenails on a regular basis. That will help protect your furniture, plus it's better for your cat. If her claws aren't trimmed, they can cause pain for your cat.  You don't need a special tool to trim your cat's claws, though you can buy one. You can just use regular nail clippers, as long as they're sharp. Have cornstarch, styptic powder, or a bar of soap near by to stop bleeding (rub them on the bleeding part), though the claw shouldn't bleed if you do it correctly. Grip your cat under one arm, while gently grabbing a paw. Press on the cat pad to extend the claw, then clip the nail, making sure to avoid the "quick," the pink part, which has nerve endings. Trim the rest of the claws. It may take several sittings to get them all.  If you do decide to declaw your cat, make sure you research your vets. Different vets use different declawing methods; the best approach is either the blade excision method or the laser method, as these usually do not lead to bone or pad damage, which the guillotine method, the more traditional approach, can do. A cat sheds. That's a fact of life. While you can't stop a cat from shedding, you can find covers for your furniture. They may not be the prettiest option, but you can pull them off when company comes over. Plus, you can wash them periodically.
