Some people like to write on a computer, whereas others work better with pencil and paper. There are pros and cons to each, so think about which way will work better for you. If you’re not sure, you can try each method and see which feels more comfortable to you.  A computer will let you erase and edit more easily, and also let you undo mistakes and save alternate drafts with ease. Pencil and paper makes you slow down and really think about what you’re writing on the page. Studies have also shown that writing by hand strengthens the brain. Acrostics may sound complicated, but they’re really not! All you need to remember is that the first letter of each line, when read vertically, must spell out the topic of the poem. The topic is often a single word, but can be more than that if you’d like. Consider this example of an acrostic poem about the sun.  Keep in mind that the word you choose to serve as the first letter of each line will determine the length of your acrostic. Choose a word that corresponds with the length you want to write. If the word you want to write about is too long or too short, consult a thesaurus for synonyms. For example, if “love” is too short, you might try “friendship,” “adoration,” “devotion,” “tenderness,” etc. Remember that you can also use multiple words for your subject if you’d like. This is an easy way to add length. What do you want to write about? Choose a subject that you have a lot to say about, and hopefully one that gives you the opportunity to use your writing chops with sensory imagery and inventive language. Some helpful brainstorming activities might include:  Keeping an ongoing notebook where you keep track of things you want to write about Making lists of the characteristics of the thing you want to write about For example: your mother’s personality, her appearance, your favorite memory of her, how her voice sounds, what her perfume smells like, etc. Taking a walk and making notes about what you see in your notebook Taking inspiration from a piece of art.

Some people live life in bitterness or malice, and will spread rumors because they think it will make them feel better about themselves. Others hear information incorrectly and without meaning to harm someone, will spread that information. Either way, rumors aren't usually a sign that you have done something wrong. They usually communicate that the people spreading them are struggling with insecurities or boredom, so don't take it personally.  While this can be difficult to do because some rumors can be very hurtful, just remember that people spread rumors for a reason. Most people who are kind and care about others won't spread malicious rumors to harm someone. Those who spread rumors usually do so because they feel jealousy or envy towards you, or they are upset with their current state in life and want to add some drama to it to make it more interesting. Stay above these rumors and don't encourage them by taking them personally and getting really upset. Some people spread rumors just to get a rise out of someone else. When rumors start to spread about you, act like nothing has happened and that you aren't affected by these lies. This can also help show people that the rumor isn't true, because you think it's so ridiculous that you don't even see a need to be upset about it. When a rumor is told about you, the best thing to do is respond to the rumor quickly. If you allow the rumor to fester and continue to be spread it may become worse or more exaggerated. Talk to the people who you have heard spread the rumor and explain to them that it is false, or go to an authority and let them know that the rumor isn't true.   Some people choose to ignore rumors instead of responding to them. This can be a good option, depending on the extent of the rumor. If the rumor is something so outlandish that very few people actually believe it, it could be good to just ignore it and over time people will stop talking. However, if the rumor is believable or is something that could get you into trouble, you need to address it...

Some people may find fresh air soothes motion sickness. Simply opening a window or vent may help alleviate your symptoms.   If symptoms persist, stop the car, if possible, and get out to breathe in fresh air. The air may help, and stopping the ride should help too. In warm weather, some people benefit from turning on air conditioning, while others do better turning it off and getting natural air. Often, car sickness is caused by motion outside the car. For this reason, you may find relief when you block your view. Alternatively, special motion-blocking eyewear may accomplish the same result.  Simply closing your eyes may help, especially if you can fall asleep. You can also try sunglasses or sleep masks to block your view enough to curtail the symptoms of car/motion sickness. Dry eyes or fatigued eyes can also contribute to motion sickness. Using eye drops or splashing water on your face can help. Taking out contact lenses and using glasses instead may be beneficial. Some people benefit from ginger products to alleviate motion sickness. You can try ginger chews, ginger ale, ginger cookies, and many other ginger products. If you are prone to motion sickness, keep one or more of these products on hand to take if you should become sick. Some data has shown that eating something dry, such as soda crackers, may help alleviate the symptoms of motion sickness. This is because the dry food may soak up excess acid in the stomach. Putting pressure on a particular point of your body may help treat the symptoms of motion sickness. Specifically, Nei Guan—acupressure point P6, on the underside of the wrist—may be pressed to help with an upset stomach.  Locate by finding the area in which a wristwatch would lie. Find the mid-point on your wrist, which is a small "valley" in which you can feel your tendons. Pressing your fingertip there should offer relief in about 10 seconds. If you have a wristwatch or tight wristband, you can make a pressure band to help with motion sickness. Make a small wad or paper or paper-like...

Some people may prefer using their own bodyweight as the main resistance while building muscle since bodyweight workouts are easier to do at home and don’t require gym equipment. Dead hangs are simply holding onto something above you and supporting your bodyweight with your grip alone. Since the tension is on your grip, you squeeze harder the longer you hang and work forearm muscles. The larger the surface you choose to grip, the harder you will have to squeeze, so something wider than a typical chin-up bar will work your forearms harder. For a harder, advanced workout, you can do a dead hang of several seconds at the bottom of every chin-up. The pause will ensure that you’re not using any body swing or inertia to start the next chin-up as well. You can do this exercise either leaning against a bar or a table, or you can do it on the ground in a push-up position (which will be harder). Lean your weight against the surface, and use your wrists and fingers to push your weight back off the surface.  In a push-up position, for instance, you will not bend at the elbows to lower yourself; instead, keep your elbows straight and use your wrists and fingers to push off the ground and lift yourself even higher.  You can add this extra movement onto each normal push-up to get more out of every repetition as well.

Some people may react aggressively to certain situations or behave badly after a bad day. In such a situation, their hostility is being delivered to anyone in their path, and has nothing to do with you. When people act aggressive, often it has nothing to do with you. Maybe they're...   Having a bad day Having had to deal with a difficult person before Being reminded of a situation that upset them Not able to manage anger, fear, or other emotions well They might tease or insult everyone they meet. Some people are just antagonistic like that. Ask yourself:   How does this person interact with other people? Does this person act like this with everyone (or almost everyone)? What is the content of their speech, as opposed to the tone? Could they feel threatened by you in some way? If so, don't feel bad for being your awesome self. Think about how you can help this person feel better about themselves.  Give this person a compliment if possible, or ask them if they’d like to talk about anything. Keep in mind that the other person may have poor communication and emotional management skills. Some individuals do not learn how to communicate effectively or how to express and manage their emotions. This is important to remember because it helps you be patient and sympathize, much the same way you would with a young child who hasn’t yet learned to regulate and express their emotions.  Imagine that there's an inner child acting out, because the person hasn't learned how to deal with problems in a mature way. It's much easier to be patient and feel compassionate when you visualize a learning child at the helm of their behavior. Some people lack or have a different set of social skills and norms. Sometimes a person can come across awkward or maybe even a bit rude, when they do not mean to. Some individuals act a certain way and lack the awareness of how their behaviors are being received. It is not a cold or rude behavior directed at you.  For example, someone from a different culture that is a bit more reserved may come...

Some people only drink milk or coffee in the morning, but adding at least one glass of water will help to increase your hydration in the morning. You can keep a water bottle beside your bed if that makes it easier to remember to drink it. Water bottles are cheap to buy and can be carried to work, to school, or whenever you are away from the house for several hours. Some have marks for reading how many milliliters or fluid ounces of liquid you have, so that you can keep track of how much you have been drinking.  A common recommendation is to drink at least 8 eight ounce glasses of fluid daily, and more if you are exercising or out in the hot weather. However, men need an average of 13 eight ounce glasses of fluid and women need an average of 9 eight ounce glasses of fluid every day.  Or, you can also divide your body weight in half and drink that amount of water in ounces. For example, if you weigh 160 pounds, then you would need to drink 80 ounces of water per day. When you are thirsty, your body signals that it already has a lack of fluid. To stay hydrated, you should drink water often enough to keep this from happening. As you age, your thirst receptors will become less effective at sensing your body's need for hydration, so it is a good idea to get into the habit of sipping water throughout the day. In addition to drinking before you get thirsty, you should also check your urine as an indication of whether you are staying hydrated enough. People who are consuming adequate fluids will have plenty of clear, light yellow urine. On the other hand, those who are dehydrated will have less urine that is a darker yellow as it is more concentrated. Caffeine and alcohol make your body lose its fluids more rapidly, and sugar in drinks, even orange juice, is not ideal for hydration purposes. Instead, aim to drink more water. Even though water may be less tasty or appealing at the outset, it is better for your body's overall health.

Some people only wash their hair every few days, but if you suffer from frequent outbreaks of scalp pimples, that may not be enough. Instead, try to shampoo your hair every day. This may help reduce the amount of oils in your hair, which can reduce the chances of having a pimple outbreak along the scalp.  You may even want to use a clarifying shampoo or alternate a clarifying shampoo with your regular shampoo. Pimples on the scalp are often caused by a buildup of hair products, dead skin cells, and oils, and a clarifying shampoo will be more effective at removing these. Try avoiding conditioner to see if that improves your scalp as well. Conditioners help moisturize hair, which may cause too much oil/grease to be trapped against the scalp. If you find yourself experiencing frequent scalp pimples and you wash your hair on a daily basis, the problem may be stemming from something you put into your hair. Try to avoid using hairstyling products and see if that clears up your scalp. Once you've identified the cause, you can try experimenting with different types of hairstyling products to see if the ingredients in those products are compatible with your skin.  Try using products that are water-based, or look for products labeled as noncomedogenic, meaning they're less likely to clog your pores and cause an acne outbreak.  Avoid putting hair products too close to the hairline. It's okay to use hair gel or pomade, for example, but try to apply it only to the main strands of hair without letting it touch the scalp or hairline. Some people prone to scalp pimples who wear baseball caps or sports gear (like a helmet) have an increased prevalence of heat/friction/pressure acne, sometimes called acne mechanica. If you believe that wearing a hat or helmet might be causing your scalp acne, try letting your scalp breathe more often. Or, if you must wear protective covering on your head, make sure you wear an absorbent headband or hair cover underneath your helmet. Showering immediately after removing your hat/helmet and...

Some people prefer pen, others pencil.  Some like them larger, others smaller.  The important thing is to find a writing instrument that feels right in your hand.  Consider a pen or pencil with a soft grip, especially if you tend to grip too tightly. Use lined paper for practice, and sturdier paper if you are writing something to keep. Yes, your mother was right -- posture counts.  Hunching over your paper will make your neck and back sore after a while, and it also restricts your arm movement so that you will over-utilize your hand and wrist in writing (see Method 2, Step 3 below). If you can sit up straight as a rail and be comfortable, great.  But don't make yourself overly rigid and uncomfortable.  Beautiful writing should not be a painful chore. Grasp the pen, don't choke it.  (They say a good craftsman never blames his tools.)  If you have an indentation or red mark on your finger when you finish writing, you're holding on too tight.  A looser hold enables a better range of motion and allows the letters to flow more freely from your pen.  There are plenty of “right” ways to hold a pen or pencil.  Some pin it against the middle finger with the index finger and thumb, some press with the fingertips of all three fingers; some rest the back of the pen on the index finger base knuckle, some on the webbing between index finger and thumb. Instead of spending time forcing yourself to utilize a new grip, go with what is comfortable for you -- unless you find that you use an awkward grip that negatively affects the quality of your writing.  So long as you're utilizing your first two fingers and thumb, it should work fine. Sure, it's fine to use abbreviations, symbols, non-sentences, etc. when jotting down notes, but especially when it's something that another person will see, take the time to write properly.

Some people prefer thin, watery drinks that they can drink quickly. Others find that a thicker liquid does a better job at masking the taste. You may have to experiment with trial and error to find out which consistency you prefer. Most people use about eight oz. of liquid per scoop of powder, but try using more for thinner drinks or less for thicker ones. You can also switch up the actual liquid base you use for your shake:   Water is a good option for weight loss because it adds no calories, but it does nothing to mask the taste of the powder. Instead, try different berry teas. A cold raspberry or acai tea, for example, could make your shake tastier. For a slightly thicker shake, try fat-free milk or milk substitutes like almond or soy milk. Many people find almond milk, in particular, to have a pleasant, slightly sweet flavor. If you are trying to gain weight or if you prefer an extra-thick shake, try using whole milk. Be aware that the combination of whole milk and protein powder can be hard to digest. If your body can't adjust to it, step back to a thinner, fat-reduced milk. Sugar has a powerful effect on the brain. Research shows that sugar releases dopamine, which controls the brain's reward and control response.  A dopamine rush makes us recognize rewards more clearly, and can improve motivation in the short term. But beyond these workout benefits, sugar is just great at masking bad tastes. Try adding a couple teaspoons of sugar, honey, chocolate syrup, dextrose, or maltodextrin to your shake. If you're restricting your sugar intake, though, try healthier alternatives:   Peanut butter both sweetens and thickens shakes. Chopped fresh fruit and fruit juice provide vitamins and fiber as well as sweetness. Banana is popular because of its strong flavor and thickness. Avoid citrus fruit if using a dairy-based protein powder, as it may cause curdling. If you want sweetness without additional flavors or calories, try an artificial sweetener. Splenda and stevia are popular options that sweeten without adding...

Some people prefer to stand while playing and others like to sit with their instrument. All that matters is your sense of comfort and confidence, so try out a few different positions until you feel at ease. Your body posture is very important when playing this instrument and slouching will cause you to be inaccurate in your balance and consequently in your performance. The accordion is relatively large and requires a little bit of familiarity when holding it. Being able to maintain proper balance is crucial. The more evenly balanced you manage to keep the accordion's weight, the better you'll be able to play because of the added control. And the more control you have, the less uncomfortable the weight will feel. Slip your left arm under the strap of the instrument. You'll want to hold it as if you were putting on a backpack on your chest. The piano keys should be to your right and your left hand goes underneath the bass strap - the small strap on the left side of the instrument.  Note that there is usually a thumb wheel on the left side to adjust the strap. Make sure that your accordion fits tightly enough not to move at all while you move. An additional strap can be very useful. The back strap keeps the shoulder straps together so that the accordion doesn't move.  Note that if the back strap is too far down it alleviates weight from the shoulders, making the straps loose on top. This, in turn, causes your straps to move and slide. Keep the back strap higher up, or secure it diagonally. Remember that when the straps stay in place, so does your instrument. The buckles can be found on the top and bottom of the instrument. Take care not to push or pull the accordion yet.

Some people preparing for a chemical peel will not need to take antiviral medication. However, if you have a history of herpes infections on or around your mouth, your doctor may prescribe an antiviral medication for you to take before and after the treatment.  Acyclovir (Zovirax) is a common antiviral medication used to prevent cold sore/herpes outbreaks prior to a chemical peel. Acyclovir is typically taken for between two days and one week before the treatment and up to two weeks after the treatment. This medication is commonly dosed at 200 mg five times each day.  Valacyclovir is another common antiviral medication. It is typically dosed at one gram three times daily. Valacyclovir should be taken for at least two days before the treatment and for 10 to 14 days after the treatment. Depending on the depth of chemical peel you will be undergoing, your doctor may recommend that you use a moisturizing and healing lotion on your skin before the treatment.  Glycolic acid lotion is typically recommended for light chemical peels. This lotion is used for two weeks before the treatment to help ensure that your skin peels uniformly and heals more easily.  A retinoid cream like tretinoin or Retin-A is used for light or medium chemical peels to help shorten the duration of your treatment and speed up the healing process. Retinoid use is typically discontinued three days before the treatment. Depending on your skin complexion, your doctor may recommend the use of a bleaching agent like hydroquinone, especially in conjunction with a retinoid cream like tretinoin. Using a bleaching agent before treatment can help prevent your skin from darkening during the treatment.  Hydroquinone (skin bleaching) is most commonly recommended for people with darker skin complexions to prepare for a chemical peel.  You will most likely be instructed to discontinue the use of bleaching products for at least one week before the treatment. Depending on what medications your are currently taking, your doctor may recommend that you discontinue...

Some people raise their voices during conflicts without really realizing it. Others yell deliberately in an attempt to exert power over the argument. Whatever your situation may be, yelling will only lead to hurt feelings and further problems. It will not resolve anything.  If you're prone to yelling or if you catch yourself raising your voice, try switching to a softer, whispering volume. Whispering forces you to use a calmer tone and makes you speak without intimidating, frightening, or angering your partner. During a heated argument, many couples tend to dredge up things from the past. This may not be deliberate, as arguments tend to make people remember other things they are frustrated about. However, bringing up one or more unrelated topics will not solve the original problem or the ones being brought up.  Ask your spouse to gently remind you to stay on topic if you start bringing up the past, then reciprocate as needed. Make sure you never act as though your partner is the problem. Focus on the issue or their behavior that caused the problem without attacking your spouse as a person. Focus on finding solutions, not placing blame. This is the best way to make an argument healthy and productive. If you and your partner can calmly and rationally work out a solution to a given problem, proceed with caution and remain respectful. If your intention is to hurt your partner or blame them for something they did, stop the conversation immediately. For example, if your spouse didn't invite you to a party and you felt left out, don't start an argument to make them feel bad or apologize. Start a conversation to calmly and respectfully communicate that you feel left out when you're not invited to things. If you're not sure about your intentions, ask yourself the following questions:  Are you starting an argument (intentionally or not) to get back at your spouse for something they did? Is your goal to shame, humiliate, frustrate, or belittle your spouse? Is there a reasonable solution to the problem(s) at hand? Are...

Some people reach out to their exes in a moment of weakness, while others do so in hopes of reigniting some romantic interest. However, any attempts at contacting your ex will only dredge up painful feelings for one or both of you, and it will only prolong the inevitable. Remember that you broke up for a reason: one or both of you were fundamentally unhappy, and that won't change.  If your ex's phone number was saved on your cellphone, delete his/her contact information and delete any previous text message conversations or phone call records on your phone. Erase, blot out, or discard any physical copies you've written down of your ex's phone number (like from an address book, for example). Consider blocking your ex from contacting you on your cellphone. Generally this is done by going into settings, clicking on privacy, and blocking the number of your ex, though the exact method will vary depending on the type of phone you have. Turn off your phone any time you plan on drinking alcohol (if you meet legal drinking age) so that you do not text or call your ex in a moment of weakness. Some people are able to remain friends with an ex. However, if you don't think you can be friends without having romantic feelings for him/her, it may be best to cut off all ties with that individual. Even if you've deleted your ex's phone number, you may still be able to send your ex private messages or comment on photos and status updates.  Unfriending/unfollowing your ex on social media will help remove temptation to contact that individual. It can also provide you with space and privacy while you heal from the breakup. Remember that if you remain friends on social media, you'll have to see whom that individual is in a relationship with in the future. You'll also be generally reminded of your time together, which may create feelings of longing. Remember that you can always send your ex a friend request or follow him/her in the future, once you've gotten over the breakup. If you're feeling vulnerable and may try to contact your...

Some people recommend you even visit the airport when you don't plan to fly. Just hang out in the terminals and get used to how things are there. This may sound extreme, but it's another way to slowly get comfortable with the flight at hand. Get to the airport early so you have time to experience the terminal, go through security, and find your gate. Being late, or just not having time to mentally prepare for what's ahead, is bound to make you feel more anxious when it's time to take your seat. Get used to the terminal, the people who are arriving and leaving the airport, and the general atmosphere at the airport. The more you get used to it, the better you'll feel when the time comes to board your flight. When you get on the plane, say hi to the flight attendants or even to the pilot. See them dressed in their uniforms, doing their jobs. Pilots receive special training, just as a doctor does, and they are people you should respect and trust. If you practice having faith in these people, and understand that they have your best interests in mind and are competent, then you'll feel better about the trip. Your pilots will have several hundred hours of experience in the air. They'll need to log 1,500 flight hours just to apply to work at a major airline. Many people start ordering a lifetime supply of wine or Bloody Marys as soon as the flight attendants make a first pass. But this is not a good long-term solution for easing your anxiety about flying. Alcohol can actually make you feel more anxious about having less control. This may especially be the case if you’re worried about having to evacuate the plane.  Getting too drunk to worry can just make you feel terrible, especially after the effects of the alcohol wear off. If you really need to calm your nerves, try just one glass of wine or a beer. Distract yourself with a snack that takes a while to eat, or just with your favorite treat. You may be too distracted to do your chemistry homework, but you may have enough brainpower to read about the latest scandal...

Some people say "you are what you eat." Even more so, you are what you think. Positive thinking has the power to transform a mundane or even unpleasant experience into a wonderful one. Thinking positively will give you the foundation for a happier life, regardless of what happens to you.  If you catch yourself having a negative thought, take a step back, identify the thought, and label it as a "negative" thought. Learning to isolate negative thoughts will help you put your worries and insecurities to rest.  Begin a regular meditation practice. Meditation is the practice of developing mindful awareness. Meditation not only trains you to silence negative thoughts, it helps you calm all thoughts, good or bad, so that you can learn to enjoy the present moment. Remember that other peoples' energy will rub off on you, especially if you spend a great deal of time with them. Make a point to spend time with friends and loved ones who make you feel better, not worse.  Before distancing yourself from friends or family members who you consider to be "toxic," try to be a positive influence in their attitudes rather than succumbing to their negativity. Terminate any physically or emotionally abusive relationships immediately. No matter how forgiving a person you may be, there is no excuse for violence and abuse. Many of us define ourselves in terms of what we want to do or what we want to own. In other words, we define ourselves in terms of what we don't have. This in essence suggests that we are somehow incomplete. Take some time to be thankful for the things you do have, whether they are physical objects or not, on a daily basis.  Remember positive memories. While it seems impossible to forget embarrassing or sad memories, many of us overlook all of the great memories that have taken place in our lives. Think of the best day(s) you have had in the past month or year. Remember special parties, vacations, and holidays. Appreciate the wonderful people you have in your life.

Some people simply don’t want to be bothered by preparing a breakfast in the morning.  While this is entirely understandable, it’s important to recognize that you’ll be more productive during the day if you kick start your metabolism with at least a small breakfast in the morning.  Good quick options include a handful of almonds, a whole grain English muffin, a hard boiled egg, or fresh fruit with reduced-fat cottage cheese or Greek yogurt. You could keep a box of Cliff bars or a similar prepackaged bar in the car if you find yourself rushing out the door every morning. Make breakfast a social occasion by sitting down at the table with your family or a roommate each morning. Over time this will help make breakfast a habit. Even if the thought of eating early in the morning doesn’t appeal to you, get in the habit of eating breakfast by starting small.  If you like to exercise in the morning, it's important to eat something - even if only a piece of fruit, before your workout. Exercising will also increase your appetite  One great option for those who don’t wake up hungry is a smoothie. Not only will a smoothie give you the health benefits of eating breakfast, they can also be made to be especially nutritious. The specific ingredients in a breakfast smoothie are up to you.  Use plenty of fruits and veggies, and consider using a liquid dairy alternative as the base, such as almond milk. Include powdered protein or seeds for additional vitamins and nutrients. If you start the day with something small and then exercise, be sure to eat a more substantial meal within two hours after you work out. It may seem too easy to be true, but simply opening your blinds can help get your metabolic patterns on a more consistent pattern. This, in turn, can help you feel hungrier in the morning.

Some people that create a compost pile get worried when they are turning their compost and they discover it is hot in the middle. While it's not strictly necessary, a compost pile that's working at its fastest will heat up.  If you have created a good mix, you may notice that it's very warm inside, even steaming on a cold morning.  This is a good sign. There are some types of yard debris that can go in the compost but they will take a long time to biodegrade, such as tough branches, twigs, and hedge clippings. You may want to compost them separately because they will take longer to break down, especially in a cold climate with a shorter composting season, than other items. Shred heavy materials, if you can, for faster decomposition. You can put weeds in your compost but there is risk that this could spread them around your yard. If you are sure they have not already gone to seed, then they are perfectly safe to compost. However, if they have gone to seed, the safest thing to do is to put them in your yard debris bin instead of your compost bin. While it's technically possible to compost dog feces, this must only be attempted under very special conditions in municipally sanctioned compost bins; usually these are located in local parks. Do not use this compost in or near vegetable and fruit gardens. Check with your local municipality for more information.  Encourage your municipality to supply these bins in parks and on dog-walking routes. Manure of any animal that eats meat should never be added. While herbivorous animals' manure can be great for composting, the manure of a pig, dog, cat, or other carnivore/omnivore can contaminate your compost and plants with food-borne illnesses. There are a variety of to-go food containers that are being used today that are marked as compostable. However, they are typically only compostable in industrial composting processes. They will not break down properly in a home compost bin because the temperatures don't get high enough there.

Some people think of breakfast as something they grab as they run out the door, while others believe it is the most important meal of the day, and has to have enough calories to get the day started. Recognize your own tendencies and interests, and make meals that are right for you. Consider these options when making Breakfast:  One piece of fruit. Porridge – oats or rice cereal. Yeast-free bread or rice cakes. Egg with avocado and tomato. Cottage cheese. Do you need to bring food with you to work? Are you cooking for two (or more) at home? Some people like to eat small amounts and just snack a lot, while others want to have a nice big plate of food at dusk. Get to know what you really want to eat. Consider these options for lunch or dinner:  Lentil soup. Any meat with plenty of vegetables. Vegetable stir fry with brown rice. Cold chicken with cottage cheese. Potato salad. Hummus sandwich on pita bread. Avocado sandwich on sourdough bread. You will start to use certain ideas regularly, and have a selection of go-to dishes, as everyone tends to on any diet (one they are watching or not), but it is always worth keeping a few possibilities nearby to mix things up now and then.  You can do a search for yeast-free meals to look for new recipes, as there are always new ideas being posted and talked about online. Sometimes you will simply be reminded of ingredients you haven't thought to use in a long time - and the same stir-fry can be a whole different meal whether you center it around bok-choy and carrots or brussels sprouts and kale. You can also just look up a few of your favorite ingredients, and modify the results a little if it's necessary. Remember that you can usually replace regular milk with soy milk, or vinegar with lemon juice, so long as the recipe is simple.

Some people think tanned or darker skin tends to look shinier than pale skin. If you have naturally dark or tanned skin, embrace it! All you'll need is a bit of lotion or oil to create shine. There's nothing wrong with paler skin, but if you want to go for the tanned look, you could try adding some color with natural sunlight, a tanning bed, a spray tan, or some tanning lotion.  For the quickest results, get a self-tanner at your local convenience stores. These self tanners come in spray or lotion formulas. Read the instructions on the tanner you purchase for specific instructions. If you choose to tan via sunlight or a tanning bed, be careful. Too much sun can be harmful to your skin, so always wear a sunscreen. Body shimmer can be purchased at most beauty or convenience stores. It comes in spray and lotion forms, and is a great way to add a bit of sparkle to your skin. Stores like Bath & Body Works often carry body shimmers. Create your own body shimmer instead of buying one. Mix some shiny gold or silver eyeshadow into your lotion for a homemade sheen. Start by adding a small amount of eyeshadow (just a sprinkling of eyeshadow), and add more until you reach your desired shine. Apply the lotion to your legs as you normally would. Using makeup on your legs not only creates shine, but also evens out your skin tone. Natural, dew-like types of foundation are great for legs, as are shimmery powder foundations. Rub your foundation into your hands, and then apply it to your legs like a thin layer of lotion. To apply powder, use a large powder brush and use large circular motions to brush the powder onto your skin. Search for foundations that don't rub off easily and are long lasting.  Some of the higher end foundations that fall into this category include Nars All-Day Luminous, Clinique Stay-Matte, and Mac Nourishing Waterproof. Some of the lower end foundations that fall into this category include Revlon Colorstay 24 Hour Foundation, Maybelline SuperStay 24 Hr Foundation, and L'oreal Infallible Foundation.

Some people think that if you're mad about something, that you should say it right away to avoid letting your angry feelings fester. Sure, that's true some of the time, but other times, your anger may be fleeting and it will be better to simply go to bed and let things go. The next time you're annoyed about something relatively minor, ask yourself, "Is it really worth it to mention this right now?" or, "Will I really care about this once I'm in a better mood/have more coffee/get my work done?" If the answer is no, then move on.  Sure, one school of thought is that you shouldn't go to bed mad. But another is that, if you stop mentioning every little thing that sets you off, that you won't be mad to begin with. People who are content with their lives typically don't have many things to worry about. They have only the possessions they really need instead of a wardrobe full of clothes. They have one car for their family instead of two so they don't have to worry so much about the cost and maintenance. They have one credit card instead of three, four close friends instead of forty acquaintances, and they focus on doing the few things they really love instead of committing themselves to lots of things they only kind of like.   Look around you -- do you really need to have so many pairs of shoes? Two types of iPods? Three calendars hanging above your desk? Any time you can eliminate something, go for it. De-cluttering is another form of simplifying your life. Go through your workspace and your home and rid all surfaces and drawers of the things you don't really need. You'll be able to breathe more easily and will be happier with what you do have. People who are content with their lives feel this way because they spend time doing the things that they love. If you have a passion that you're not pursuing, then yeah, you're not going to be content with what you do have. And if you don't know what your passion is, finding it can lead you to be more content with your life. Make a habit of doing the thing you love as much...

Some people think that they have to act like someone else to get a person to like them, or always be on guard to protect themselves. However, this is really just tricking that person into thinking you are someone that you are not and never allowing them to get to know the real you. Be willing to let your guard down and let your boyfriend know the real you.   Show your boyfriend your real personality by sharing your interests and hobbies, sharing jokes that you think are funny, sharing what type of music you like, and acting in a way that feels comfortable for you. Share your hopes, dreams, and fears to practice being vulnerable around your boyfriend.  Do not apologize for who you are! If your boyfriend does not understand or appreciate your personality, then perhaps he is not the right guy for you to be dating. Although some people claim to not be creative at all, everyone is creative in unique ways. If it feels challenging for you to communicate verbally, another way to get comfortable around your boyfriend is to express yourself creatively.  Show him artwork that you created, songs that you wrote, poetry that you wrote, and things of that nature. If you are into technology, you could tell him about a video game, website, or app that you are designing. Girls especially struggle with this. There is often a feeling of always needing to look perfect when around your boyfriend. However, displaying confidence even when you do not look perfect helps you to relax around him.  If you are a girl, do not be afraid to spend time with him without any makeup. In fact, many boys and men prefer the way girls and women look without makeup as opposed to with it. Wear clothing that feels comfortable to you. You do not always have to dress to impress; wearing jeans and a t-shirt or even sweatpants, if you are hanging out at home, is perfectly acceptable. One of the most important aspects of any relationship is friendship. The strongest couples are also friends, so if you were not already friends with your boyfriend prior to...

Some people think wit means being mean and sarcastic. While it’s true that there are plenty of examples of witty remarks made at the expense of others, being witty doesn’t have to mean being cruel. That said, there is a time and a place for backhanded comments and cutting rejoinders. A good rule to follow if you’re going to take shots at other people is to take at least as many shots at yourself. Tempering sarcastic comments about others with self-deprecating jokes will make you seem more fair, and less like an insult-machine. After all, if you alienate people, there will be no one to appreciate your wit. Of course, genuine confidence is always preferable to feigned confidence, but there are plenty of witty people who are plagued by self-doubt. If you fade into the background, however, or seem not to believe in your own jokes, it will be hard for other people to relax and appreciate your wit. It is certainly possible to be off-puttingly over-confident as well, and there are a number of witty people (like Woody Allen, Mitch Hedberg, and David Sedaris) who cultivate a persona that takes advantage of their neuroses for comedic effect. Even these people, however, know how to present their jokes with enough confidence that their audience is not too worried for them to laugh, or made uncomfortable by their discomfort. If you are not a very confident person, don’t fear. There is a lot to be said for faking it till you make it; if you present the appearance of confidence, you may find yourself becoming more genuinely confident with time. Stand up straight, speak slowly and clearly, and smile. This can go a long way toward making people receptive of your jokes. Perhaps history’s most famous quote about wit comes from Shakespeare’s Hamlet: “Brevity is the soul of wit.” The contemporary writer George Saunders elaborated slightly on this theme when he wrote, “Humor is what happens when we’re told the truth quicker and more directly than we’re used to.” The best witty quips are short and pithy; don’t belabor the point....

Some people try natural antimicrobial remedies before seeing a doctor. This can actually be very dangerous, as you cannot tell if the child is actually suffering from a perforated eardrum, a tumor in the ear canal, a cut in the skin in the ear, or something else more severe than a simple ear infection. Applying a home remedy may aggravate these conditions and/or may mask a doctors ability to detect them when she looks inside the ear. if the child has a perforated eardrum, doing this could also seriously risk causing deafness in that ear. Both garlic and coconut oils have antiviral and antibacterial properties and have long been used for treatment of infections at home. Garlic oil can be made at home from several cloves of garlic and coconut oil should be virgin and cold pressed to have the best results.  Make your own garlic oil at home by crushing a couple cloves of fresh garlic and soaking it in olive oil on very low heat for 30 minutes. Coconut oil is widely available at grocery stores and health food stores. To use, place two or three drops of the oil of your choice in the affected ear and lay down for 10 minutes on the other side of your head up so that the oil doesn’t drip out. Never put oil in an ear in which you believe the eardrum may have ruptured. The oil may damage the inside of the ear if it goes through the eardrum. Xylitol is a natural sweetener or sugar substitute. There are studies that show that Xylitol may keep the number of ear infections you get to a minimum because it fights against bacteria that can grow in your ear and cause infections. Chew two pieces of gum containing Xylitol five times a day. However, chew this gum with caution. The Xylitol can kill the bacteria responsible for the development of ear infections, but frequent chewing can also increase the potential for temporomandibular joint syndrome and lead to the erosion of your teeth due to artificial flavors and preservatives. Another natural antimicrobial remedy is apple cider vinegar. There is some anecdotal evidence—though...

Some people use the term 'double-brewed' tea to refer to concentrated tea that has been steeped twice, but the phrase can also be used to mean tea that has been brewed with reused teabags. Simply leave the teabags in the water for 2-3 minutes longer than usual to account for the loss of effectiveness.  You should not reuse teabags in this manner more than once or twice. If you are not planning on reusing them right away, put them in the refrigerator in enough water to keep them completely wet. Storing used teabags at room temperature or in dry conditions can cause mold growth and invite unwanted bacteria. Old teabags can be reused quite easily during cooking. Experimenting with old teabags in the kitchen may impart color and flavor to foods. For instance, adding chamomile or jasmine tea to rice can infuse it with a delicate fragrance, and Chai or cinnamon tea can boost the flavors in a simple bowl of oatmeal.  Place old teabags in the water you are using to boil pasta or rice for added flavor. Add old teabags to the water you have just used to boil eggs for added flavor and color. Add tea to your meat smoker for tea-infused smoked meats. Mixing teabags into soil has a great number of beneficial effects, including increasing nitrogen and acidity levels, attracting good bacteria, lowering the pH level of the soil, and giving earthworms something good to eat. You can also add old teabags to your compost pile, as long as they are not made of plastic and you remove any metal staples first. Because teabags are absorbent and aromatic, they can be used to mitigate offensive smells. Peppermint and cinnamon flavored teas in particular have a very strong and pleasant aromas.  Place used teabags in the trashcan and refrigerator to dispel bad odors. Scrub your hands with used teabags to remove unpleasant scents like those of garlic or fish. Turn old teabags into air fresheners by waiting until they are completely dry and adding a couple of drops of essential oil, like lavender or peppermint.

Some people used to believe that totem poles were originally used in religious ceremonies, but the truth is, they're created as a way to preserve and illustrate history. Think of the totem pole you want to make as a sort of  timeline, or an account of a certain family or one person's life. What story do you want to tell?  You could tell the story of one person's adventures, or depict your family history by adding a symbol for each member. You could tell the story of a town, a battle, or a relationship. Get creative! Think of the most important elements of the story. Make a list of each event, personality trait, family member, or other factor you want to include on your totem pole. The more elements you include, the longer your totem pole will be. Aim to have at least 5 story elements on your totem pole. Now that you have a list of the elements you want to include, how do you want to symbolize each one? Traditional totem poles usually have carvings of animals as a way to tell their tales. You could take this classic route or choose symbols that have personal meaning to you.  If you want to include animals as part of your totem pole, you can choose animals that are important to you, like your  spirit animal, or pick animals that have classically been used by totem pole artists that seem to fit with your story. Here are a few animals that are commonly seen on traditional totem poles: The thunderbird. This mythical creature has the power to make thunder, lightning and large gusts of wind. You could use it to symbolize a time in your story when chaos reigned. The bear. This beloved creature comes to others' aid in times of need. Use the bear to symbolize a person who is a good caretaker, or a time when help arrived. The owl. The wise owl is a symbol of souls that have passed on. The owl could be the past itself, or a person in your life who has passed away. The raven. This cunning, tricky bird is used to symbolize intelligence. The wolf.

Some people want to learn how to swim for general safety reasons. Others want to learn so that they can safely take their kids to the pool. Still others might want to learn to swim in order to conquer a lingering fear from childhood. Understanding their reasons can help you decide how to proceed with the lessons and what skills to focus on.  For example, if your student wants to learn to swim in order to accompany their children to the pool, you might want to spend more time perfecting their freestyle stroke, as this is the best way to reach someone who needs assistance in the water. Helping your student become more comfortable with this stroke can help them feel like they are achieving their goals more quickly. Ask your student about any previous swimming experience. If the adult student already has some swimming experience, ask them to demonstrate some of the skills they already have. Ask them what they feel most comfortable with and least comfortable with so that you can build up their confidence accordingly. Discuss the end results that your student hopes to achieve and come up with a reasonable plan for achieving those goals. Talk about how often you'll meet for lessons each week, whether they should swim on their own for “homework,” and provide a timeline for several important swimming milestones. For example, it might be helpful to plan with your student that they should be able to complete an unassisted lap across the length of the pool by a certain date.

Some people when upset may push away, but this is okay too. A warm arm around someone can brighten their day. Not all of us are Julia Child, Carrot Top (...), or Bob Ross. But most of us do have something we're good at. Whatever it is, use it to cheer up your friend. Can you cook a mean lasagna? Fantastic -- it's dinner time somewhere. Can you reel off jokes like word play is a skill taught in kindergarten? Can you paint a mean shed on the side of an ethereal-looking mountain? Great. These skills can also be happy-making skills. Use your creativity and finesse to tackle their blues. Sing them a song at the top of your lungs. Take them along on a hike. Force your kitten on them. What's in your tool belt of skills? Employ them. Look on the sunny side of life. Focus on the half-full, not the half-empty. Being optimistic is a mindset, and it can be infectious if used in the right way. Be on the lookout for interesting, exciting, or uplifting opportunities that your friend might have overlooked while they were busy being pessimistic. There's almost always a silver lining to a problem. We sometimes don't want to look at it, but it's usually there. Here are a few ways to think about some common problems in a more positive manner:  My partner/significant other broke up with me. "Don't worry about someone who doesn't value you completely as a person. If s/he doesn't get how special you are, they probably don't deserve you. There are plenty of other eligible people out there who will."  Someone in my family/social circle died. "Death is natural by-product of life. While you can't bring the person back, you can celebrate how much they affected your life, and perhaps how much you changed theirs. Be grateful for the time you did get to spend with them."  I lost my job. "Your job is an important reflection of who you are, but it's not the whole picture.

Some people who suffer from halitosis or are self-conscious of their breath will carry around a toothbrush with them. Bring a small tube of toothpaste. If you don’t have toothpaste, know that brushing with tap water can help reduce the smell of microbes that collect when you eat meals. Small, portable toothbrushes can be purchased at any grocery store or pharmacy cheaply. You can also try keeping a pack of mini, disposable toothbrushes with you. This way they won't get dirty and be sanitary each time you use one. In addition to a toothbrush or in place of it, you can easily escape to the bathroom and floss your teeth. Many types of floss have a minty aftertaste that’ll help freshen your breath.  Dentists recommend that you floss after every meal to ensure that food particles don't get lodged in between your teeth. If this seems like too much work, floss at least once a day — preferably before bedtime — to combat foul breath.  Flossing after meals is one of the best ways to combat halitosis (bad breath). Consider carrying floss or flossing tools, such as dental floss toothpicks, to floss easily on the go. Listerine comes in travel-sized bottles that can easily be carried in back pockets or pocket books. Gargle for 20 seconds and spit. It will help fight bacteria that cause bad breath as well as give your mouth a fresh smell. Make sure you choose a mouth rinse that boasts anti-gingivitis and/or anti-plaque fighting power. Listerine also makes strips that dissolve on your tongue. These are designed to combat bad breath quickly, but can be quite strong.

Some people will not be willing to hear the truth no matter what.  Think about your friend’s personality in order to gauge whether informing them of your true feelings is a good idea.  Are they willing to accept criticism?  Do they readily admit to being wrong when confronted with compelling evidence?  Do they take responsibility for their actions when wrong?  If so, sharing the truth with your friend is a good idea and will likely make a positive change. If, conversely, your friend is frequently defensive and shifts blame onto others when confronted with evidence of his or her shortcomings, your honest efforts at helping them see that they were in error will be wasted. In the case of a defensive friend, try to broach the subject in a variety of ways.  If they don’t understand that what they did was wrong the first time you explain it, maybe they need to hear it a different way.  Perhaps the first time you broach the subject, you’re indirect: “Do you think that what you said to Sam was kind?”  If they blow you off, make a stronger declaration next time: “You were very rude to Sam.  He deserves an apology.” Do not try to qualify your point of view by agreeing half-heartedly to your friend’s insistence that the other person is wrong.  Do not begin with a statement of praise before delivering the reality-check that your friend is in the wrong.  Finally, do not employ phrases like “With all due respect” or “No offense, but...”  Be direct and honest in your evaluation of your friend and explain why he or she is wrong.  For example, if Sam called Armin stupid directly or indirectly, and Armin (rightfully) refuses to hang out Sam, you should tell Sam “It was unkind and wrong of you to call Armin stupid.  You owe him/her an apology .  That’s the best way to put this conflict behind you.” Do not cover up your feelings of disappointment or frustration.  When you fail to express yourself to the person you have negative feelings toward, the feelings remain trapped, which leads to further frustration.  You may experience...

Some people with sensitive skin can have allergic reactions to the chemicals in hair removal, or depilatory creams. To make sure you aren’t allergic to the cream you’ve chosen, dab a small amount onto your skin. Try somewhere like your ankle or arm. If you have no reaction after a few moments of the product being on your skin, you should be fine to use that product.  Red skin, a rash, or intense itchiness are all signs of an allergic reaction.  Always check the warning labels and ingredient lists on any skin product you use before using them. Since your underarms are particularly sensitive, choose a product that is specifically labeled and made for use on sensitive skin. Some depilatory cream brands offer specific creams for underarms and bikini areas, so try one of these. This will reduce the risk of skin irritation when you use the product. Even if you choose a product for sensitive skin, it’s still a good idea to do the allergy test prior to using it. You want to make sure you don’t have any lotion, deodorant, antiperspirant or skin oils on your skin when you apply the cream. This will ensure there is nothing acting as a barrier between the cream and your skin. Use a gentle soap when washing to make sure all products and oils are removed from the skin. You will also want to make sure you don’t have any cuts in the area you’ll be applying the cream. This can be very uncomfortable and cause a stinging sensation. Make sure not to rub the cream in. Instead, dab it over your skin and make sure you cover all the hair you want to remove. Use a thick enough layer to fully cover the area. The cream you bought may have come with a special spatula for spreading and removing, so you can use that. Or, you can use a wooden tongue depressor or put on a plastic glove and use your hand. You can spread the cream with your bare hand, but you will want to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water promptly after finishing. The label will specify how long to leave the cream on before wiping it off, and you should follow...

Some people with vitiligo end up with whitening of the hair around the eyebrows. If this is the case with you, you can use make-up to enhance the shape of your eyebrows. To start, you'll comb your brows. If your normally pluck your eyebrows to reshape them, do that as well.  You can purchase an eyebrow comb at your local beauty store, which you can use to gently comb out your eyebrows. You can also wash a fine-toothed comb and use that instead.  You can then use a pair of tweezers to pluck your eyebrows into your desired shape and size. Not everyone plucks their eyebrows. If it's not something you normally do, skip this step. If your eyebrows are losing color, only pluck the portions of hair you can easily see. From there, you will trace the bottom of your eyebrows with a light shade of eyeshadow. Choose a shade that matches your regular hair. You can apply the eyeshadow with an angled eyebrow brush, which you should be able to purchase at a local cosmetics store or supermarket. While cosmetic products are typically marketed toward women, the main goal here is to fill in your eyebrows in a natural color. This method can work for men as well.  Gently trace the bottom of your eyebrows, moving in the natural direction of your eyebrows.  Apply in swift, gentle strokes. You may need to apply several layers before you begin to bring out the natural color of your eyebrows.  Once you've traced the bottom of your eyebrows, trace the tops. Repeat the same gentle motions, following the natural angle of your eyebrow. In order to remove any clumps, you should brush out your eyebrows to smooth out the color. You can use a brow brush. If you don't have one, you can wash out a mascara brush. Run the brow brush or mascara brush over your eyebrows, following the direction of your hair. Do as many strokes as you need to get your eyebrows to look smooth and natural. Once you've smoothed out your brows, use a brow pencil or eye shadow to darken the center of your brows slightly. Choose a shade that matches the natural color of...

Some pieces just seem to get marked for special scratching treatment because they feel just right to your cat. In this case, there are several options you can try:  Apply double-sided tape to the furniture.  Cats dislike the sticky feeling and won't continue to stick their claws wherever it's sticky, as the hairless skin of the cat's paws is extremely sensitive to touch.  For larger furniture, adhere masking tape over the arms, or on the back of the furniture where the cat will often enjoy playing (and hiding from water spritzing). For a larger area, such as a rug or carpet, leave contact sheets sticky side up over the surface you want to protect.  You can also buy a product called "Sticky Paws," which are medical grade adhesive sticky strips that can go on curtains, drapes, carpets, and anything else that might be a bit too tempting for your cat.  Use the “knobby” side of a plastic or vinyl floor runner along the back of the couch to deter scratching. The cat won’t like the feel of the pointy knobs on their feet. For cats who seem to live it up when you're at work or away from home, cover the furniture in plastic covers. Cats are not fond of walking over plastic because of its smell and feel.  You could also try placing blown-up balloons hidden underneath a sheet covering the furniture which will burst when clawed, causing the cat a fright that will be associated with that piece of furniture long after the balloon has popped.  If buying new furniture, consider getting a tight weaved chenille or microfiber fabric as opposed to a tweed-like fabric. Cats will not be interested in those types of fabrics as they won't be able to get their claws through. Cats will scratch any furniture made with a thin loose-weaved fabric. Also consider using a “Scat mat” to deter cats from certain surfaces and areas. It is generally recommended to correct your cat remotely so that they do not associate the negative correction with you or other humans. Otherwise, you will create fear in the cat toward humans and likely train the...

Some pills are time-release or oil soluble, so it’s not a good idea to grind them up. NEVER crush or chew a pill without consulting with your doctor or pharmacist first. You could ingest the dosage too fast and harm yourself. If it’s a tablet, crush it in a mortar and pestle or a pill crusher (usually available at your local health foods store or pharmacy). If it’s a capsule, break it open. Applesauce and pudding work well. Smoothies and milkshakes with strong flavors also work. If you are working with a vitamin that you can’t crush, you can also put the whole thing in a semi-solid food. Try to swallow the whole bite.  Of course, don't take such a big bite that you choke. With luck, this will keep the pill from ever touching your tongue or throat.

Some plants that are poisonous look, smell and taste completely edible, but others provide signs that they aren't to be eaten by humans. Avoiding plants with these qualities might cause you to miss out on a plant that's actually edible, but it's much better to play it safe. Stay away from plants with the following characteristics:  White berries. Milky sap. An almond scent. Seeds, beans or bulbs inside pods. Thorns, spines or hairs. A bitter taste. Grain heads with pink or black spurs. Groups of three leaves. If you know what you're looking for, you're likely to find some plants that you recognize from the produce aisle of the grocery store. Do not eat any unfamiliar berries that you see unless you are 100% sure that the berry is edible unless you are willing to risk illness and death. Every plant you encounter in the wild should be tested according to the above method since some poisonous plants look very similar to edible ones. However, plants that look like the following common edible plants are a good place to start:  Blueberries Blackberries Dandelion Asparagus Strawberries Wild onion Persimmon Chestnut Bananas Mangos Coconuts Papaya Taro Cactus Seaweed is a nutritious plant source that is edible as long as it's harvested fresh from the ocean. Don't attempt to eat seaweed that has washed up on the shore. If you can wade out a bit and harvest some fresh seaweed, you'll have a good food source that provides minerals and vitamin C. These common seaweeds are edible:  Kelp Green seaweed Irish moss Dulse Laver

Some potential causes of itching in dogs include the following:  Parasites, including lice, mites and fleas. Bacterial and yeast infections. These only occur when the skin is damaged or made vulnerable by some underlying disease or allergy. Food allergies. Environmental allergies. Hypersensitivity to tick or insect bites.  Less common causes include autoimmune diseases, endocrine diseases, certain cancers and others. While any dog breed can be allergic to something, certain breeds are prone to specific types of allergies. Do your research about what allergies or health conditions may be more likely with your dog's breed. This may give you a clue about what's bothering your pet. For example, if you have a cocker spaniel, you may learn that he is likely to get food allergies at some point in his life. You'll most likely notice itching on his ears and feet if he does have a food allergy. If you've practiced good flea control and give your dog a thorough bath, but he has been itching for more than seven days, your dog needs to see a vet. You should also take him to the vet if the scratching is so severe that you cannot distract him from scratching, or it stops it from eating or sleeping. Itchy skin in a dog may be a symptom of any number of health problems. This means that diagnosing and treating your dog's specific problem requires a step-wise approach. This will rule out causes of itching starting with the most common and progressing to rarer potential causes. Generally, veterinarians start examining an itchy dog by getting a thorough history and doing a physical examination. To help your veterinarian get an accurate picture of your dog's condition, consider writing out a history before the visit so that you don't forget to mention any critical facts. Some important facts to share include the following:  How long the dog has lived with you. Where you got the dog. How long the dog has been itchy and whether the problem has improved, gotten worse, remained constant or tended to wax and wane. Where on the body the...

Some potential risk factors are to do with the healthiness of your lifestyle, but there are some things that you cannot influence or change. There is a significant increase in the rates of stomach cancer of those over 50, and most of those diagnosed are between 60 and 80 years old. Stomach cancer is also more common in men than in women.  In the US, stomach cancer is more common in Hispanic Americans, African Americans, and Asian/Pacific Islanders than it is in non-Hispanic white Americans. People who live in Japan, China, Southern and Eastern Europe, and South and Central America are more likely to get stomach cancer than people who live elsewhere. There are significant potential risks associated with your lifestyle and diet. Smoking and drinking alcohol increase the risk of stomach cancer by introducing harmful substances into the body. A diet low in fiber increases the risk of stomach cancer by lengthening the body's exposure time to the carcinogens present in food. Long-term consumption of salted, dried, and smoked food items with high levels of nitrates also elevates your risk.  It is thought that being overweight or obese may be a cause of cancers of the cardia (the upper part of the stomach). If you work in the coal, metal, or rubber industry, your risk of stomach cancer may be higher. Workers in these fields are exposed to more carcinogens than workers in other industries. Keep a close record of your personal medical history, and be aware of previous illnesses and treatments you may have had that could increase your chance of later developing stomach cancer. Be especially vigilant if you have a history of Helicobacter pylori infections, chronic gastritis, atrophic gastritis, pernicious anemia, or gastric polyps, as all of these conditions predispose you to stomach cancer.  Stomach cancers are more likely to develop in those who have previously had part of their stomach removed in surgery. Stomach cancer runs in families, so find out about your family medical history. However, keep in mind that...

Some premature babies will just need more time for their lungs to mature, while others may suffer from more serious complications. The more that you know and understand about what your baby needs, the better you will be able to ensure he is receiving the treatment and care that is best for him.  Speak with neonatal nurses and technicians every time they make their rounds. Inquire about improvements or setbacks in your baby’s conditions. If you do not understand something, don’t be afraid to ask. Find out when the NICU head doctor will be stopping by. Generally, head doctors stop by once or twice each day to check in on their patients. Sometimes, if you have a specific question about your baby’s condition or his treatments, the nursing staff may not have the answer for you. If you know when the head doctor will be making his rounds, you can make sure you are there during those times and you can ask to speak with him directly. Depending on how premature you baby was, he can be in the NICU anywhere from a few days to several months. The NICU staff will be your baby’s full-time caregivers until he is discharged. Take the time to familiarize yourself with each staff member that will be caring for your baby. If you are comfortable with his caregivers, you will be more at ease knowing that he is in good hands during those times when you cannot be there.

Some prescription medications can cause constipation, such as opioid pain relievers. Your doctor may recommend changing your medication or adding a laxative to counter constipation. Your doctor may recommend either over-the-counter medicines or prescribe something stronger. See your doctor right away if you have:  Rectal bleeding Severe weight loss Fatigue Severe abdominal pain Consult your doctor to determine what the right dose is for you.  Wait at least two hours after eating because it may prevent you from fully absorbing the nutrients. It will work within the next six to eight hours. Do not take it while lying in bed, because if you accidentally inhale some of it, it can cause pneumonia in your lungs. For this reason, do not give it to children younger than seven. Do not take mineral oil if you are pregnant, as it may prevent the uptake of nutrients and cause bleeding in the newborn if taken for a long time. These medications take moisture out of the intestines and use it to make your stool wetter.  Common ones include Colace and Surfak. Drink an extra few glasses to water each day when you take them. These medications work by generating more liquid in your intestines. This will also stimulate your intestines to contract and move stool along, though it may take a few days. Common ones include:  Milk of magnesia Magnesium citrate Lactulose Polyethylene glycol (MiraLax) These are useful if your stool is soft enough to pass, but your intestines aren’t contracting to move it through. These medications stimulate contractions and should work within 12 hours. Common ones are:  Senna Bisacodyl Sodium Picosulphate If your rectum is blocked with hard, dry stool, you can get relief from a suppository, enema, or manual disimpaction.  A suppository is a capsule of medication that you put in your anus where it dissolves and is absorbed. An enema is a liquid medication that is introduced into the large intestine via the anus. This should be done by the doctor. Manual disimpaction requires your doctor or nurse to put on...

Some progesterone creams are available over the counter, while others require a prescription from your doctor. You should ask your pharmacist about different options, and ask for details about the differences. When applying anything to your skin, make sure to read the ingredients and make sure that you do not have any known allergies. If you decide to go with an over the counter option, you might want to try your local natural health store. Homeopathic remedies can be very successful, and you can ask the staff at a small store any questions you may have. You might receive more personalized advice than at a large chain store. While generally considered safe, progesterone can cause some unwanted side effects. Some users have reported issues such as upset stomachs and weight gain. Others have noticed depression-like or PMS-like symptoms. Remember, this cream contains hormones, so it will affect you physically. Before you start using progesterone cream, discuss your options with your doctor. Explain your concerns, and what you hope to gain from using the cream. Ask all of the questions that you have, and gain a clear understanding of what the cream can do for you.

Some rabbits enjoy shredding fabric, while others simply enjoy bunching and "sorting" fabrics. An old hand towel or a couple of washcloths would allow your rabbit to bunch and tear as much as he likes. Just be sure that your rabbit doesn't eat the fabric, as it could make him sick or create a choking hazard. Once you've removed the front and back covers of a phone book, your rabbit can shred, bunch, and sort scraps of paper from the phone book. Rabbits should only play with phone books under close adult supervision, however, as you'll want to be sure your pet doesn't eat any of the adhesives along the spine of the phone book. The tube inside a roll of paper towel or toilet paper can make an excellent toy for rabbits to shred. It's soft enough that it will be easy to tear, yet thick enough that it will provide some resistance. For even better results, stuff a cardboard tube with hay or shredded paper and hide treats in the middle. Your rabbit will shred and tear, and will eventually find a reward inside!

Some readers love to have all their books be the same height--it just looks better on the shelf, don’t you think? Paperbacks tend to range more in height, so for an even shelf look, go with the more consistent hardback editions. Trade paperbacks will sometimes be released in a hardback-style height, so check the measurements of your shelf and your other books before you completely rule out a paperback. If the height matches, you can save a couple dollars while maintaining the even line of your bookshelf. If the book you’re buying is part of a series, try to keep it consistent. If the rest of the series is in hardcover, buy a hardcover; if the other books are paperback, go with paperback. Aesthetically-minded book lovers almost universally agree that it looks better on the shelf! Thanks to their lighter weight and smaller size, paperbacks are easier to hold with one hand. You can easily read them while relaxing in bed or on the couch, or while holding onto a strap or pole on the subway. Some paperbacks may pose a problem if you don’t like to break the spine of a book, which gives it long vertical wrinkles; you may find yourself barely cracking it open to preserve that smooth spine, which can make it difficult to actually read! The hardier covers of hardback books make this a non-issue. You can easily lay the book flat to read on a table or on your lap. Hardbacks in particular are known for their gorgeous designs.  Even if a hardback version isn’t considered a “special edition,” you may still get beautiful art on the dust jacket, the cover under the jacket, and even on the pages that isn’t available in a paperback version. On the flipside, sometimes the paperback cover of a book will appeal to you more! If aesthetics are your main concern, simply go with whatever book strikes your fancy.

Some require a hefty fee, some do not. Ask around for une opinion or if a friend has a set of CDs or a program you can borrow. Popular options are Rosetta Stone, Pimsleur, or Michele Thomas. Every program is best for a different type of learner.  Pimsleur does not give you a book. It's a set of CDs--good for aural learners and those with long commutes. It does use English and allows you to translate. It utilizes backchaining, as in, "porte," "la porte," "-ez la porte," "Fermez la porte," to practice pronunciation. Rosetta Stone is a computer program and does not allow any English and relies heavily on pictures. It plays memory games and is ideal for visual and sensory learners. Michele Thomas (on CD and YouTube) advocates a slightly different style of teaching. He emphasizes patterns in language and utilizing cognates. You start with one basic sentence, such as, "Je vais au restaurant," (I am going to the restaurant.) and he leads you to, "Je vais au restaurant ce soir parce que c'est mon anniversaire." (I am going to the restaurant tonight because it's my birthday.) Your vocabulary expands as you build on the blocks you already have. Duolingo.com is another site which trains you in French: memorizing by training to translate (English-to-French; and French-to-English), listening comprehension and more. The best way to learn a language (apart from living in the country, of course) is to practice every day with others. Taking a class forces learning into your schedule, holds you accountable, and gives you resources in others that you wouldn't otherwise have.  Check out your local community college or university. Though the class might be more expensive, the perks of being a student and having access to the facilities lessen the blow to your wallet. Find a language school. These classes are often much cheaper, smaller, and offered on nights or weekends. If you live in a fairly diverse area, one shouldn't be too far away. The internet is a beautiful thing. Loads of people are looking for an easy way to make an...

Some rice cookers have a removable bowl or pot, while others must have the rice placed directly in the cooker. Most of the time, rice cookers will come with a measuring "cup" or scoop that can fit 3/4 cup (180 mL). Alternatively, use an ordinary measuring cup. One cup (240 mL) of uncooked rice will generate anywhere from 1 1/2 cups (360 mL) to three cups (720 mL) of cooked rice, depending on variety.  Leave enough space for this expansion to prevent the rice cooker from spilling over. Most rice cooker instructions recommend cold water. How much water you add depends on what kind of rice you're cooking and how moist you prefer it. There are often graduated marks on the inside of a rice cooker, indicating how much rice and water should be added, or instructions on the package of rice. Alternatively, use the following suggested amounts depending on your variety of rice, but keep in mind you can always adjust these in future if you prefer your rice more chewy or soft:  White, long grain - 1 3/4 cups of water per 1 cup of rice (420 mL water per 240 mL rice) White, medium grain - 1 1/2 cups of water per 1 cup of rice (360 mL water per 240 mL rice) White, short grain - 1 1/4 cups of water per 1 cup of rice (300 mL water per 240 mL rice) Brown, long grain - 2 1/4 cups of water per 1 cup of rice (520 mL water per 240 mL rice) Sold as "parboiled" (not half-cooked at home) - 2 cups of water per 1 cup of rice For Indian style rices like Basmati or Jasmine, less water is needed as a drier rice is desired, use no more than 1 1/2 cups of water per 1 cup of rice.  Use only 1 to 1 if you washed the rice previously.  It is ok to add bay leaves or cardamom pods directly to the rice cooker to enhance the flavor. This is not required, but some people soak the rice to shorten the cooking time. Soaking may also make the cooked rice stickier. Use the amount of water measured earlier to soak the rice at room temperature, then use this same water for cooking. Some rice cookers simply have an on/off switch. Others have different...

Some riddles require creative math skills, such as this riddle: “A barrel of water weighs 50 pounds. What must you add to it to make it weigh 35 pounds?” (Answer: a hole.) Although both enigmas and conundrums often ask the riddle in the form of a question, enigmas are often more complex problems, while conundrums may ask a simple question. With a challenging riddle, it may be helpful to break down the riddle into parts, as demonstrated in Part 2. While breaking down a riddle into parts and considering multiple possible solutions may seem awkward or clunky at first, it will get much faster and easier with practice. One of the most important tactics when listening to or reading a riddle is to not jump to conclusions. To solve a riddle, you will need to consider both the literal and the potential meanings of the words. For example, this riddle asks: “What gets wetter and wetter the more it dries?” (Answer: a towel.) Even though the actions seem contradictory, a towel does dry things and get wet as it dries those things. Try to think of different ways to interpret the clues the riddle gives. Enigmas in particular are often very figurative, meaning they will use words with a literal meaning to convey something metaphorical. For example, this riddle asks: “What has golden hair and stands in the corner?” The answer is a broom: the “golden hair” is the yellow straw of a traditional straw broom, and it “stands” in the corner when it isn’t being used. This is particularly common with riddles that are written to sound like they are asking for an inappropriate or explicit answer. The possibility of multiple answers allows for a laugh from both parties. The goal of a trick riddle is to get you to give the most “obvious” (and also usually most explicit) answer. For example, there are several answers to this riddle: “What four-letter word ending in K means ‘intercourse’?” In order to give the “right” answer (“talk”), you must look past the most common assumptions and think more flexibly.

Some routers are setup to not allow access to the configuration page if you are connected via Wi-Fi. Connecting via Ethernet will help ensure that you can properly access the configuration tools. You can find this address by following the methods outlined above. Enter the address as if you were visiting a webpage. When you try to open the configuration page, you'll be prompted to enter your router login information. If you don't have this information saved, you can try some of the common defaults:  Try leaving both fields blank. Many routers don't have any username or password required. Try entering "admin" as the username, and then leave the password blank. If that doesn't work, enter "admin" as the password as well. Look up your router make and model at routerpasswords.com. This will display the default login information. If the default login information doesn't work, and you can't figure out how to log in, you can reset the router by pressing and holding the physical Reset button on the back. This will erase all of your router's settings, possibly disrupting your wireless network if you changed any default settings for it. You can then use the default login. The name of this page will be different for every different router manufacturer. The location varies, but you can usually find it in the "Administration," "Utilities," or "Maintenance" section. Many routers have a button that will check to see if a new version of the router's firmware is available. Depending on the router, you may be provided a link to the latest firmware version, or the router may even be able to download it on its own. If there is a newer version of the firmware available, but no links are given, you'll need to download the firmware from the manufacturer. You can get these files from the Support sections of these sites. Perform a web search to find the support site. For example, searching for "Netgear support" will get you the netgear.com/support link. You can find your router model number at the top of the configuration page. Enter...

Some say that sea salt can help boost your color because it draws the sunlight. So, if you’re at the beach, you might want to take advantage of it.  Go into the ocean, immerse yourself in the salt water, and then get back out to tan. Do this a few times, and you will see your tan deepen. You could also try using olive oil.  As with any tanning, be very careful that you don’t burn. Drawing more sunlight to your skin can have damaging effects. You could also draw more sun to your skin using a reflector. After tanning, you should always use an after-sun lotion. This will help to cool and calm the skin. An after-tan lotion will eliminate any soreness or redness, as well as moisturizing the tan to keep it lasting longer. You can use baby oil after your tan to soften the skin (don’t use it to tan, though, or you could burn). Exercise or work out outside. Walk or bicycle instead of going by car. (But remember to use sunscreen.)  Do not stay in the sun if your skin starts to feel sore; burning will not make you darker. Instead, your existing tan will start to peel and end up patchy. As always, remember to use SPF if you want that golden tan instead of a bright red burn.
