Problem: Article: Let the ball drop onto the middle part of your thigh. If you bounce the ball off of your knee, it is almost guaranteed to go flying out of reach.
Summary: Hold the ball above your thigh.

Problem: Article: Tumble drying clothing is a great way to remove wrinkles. Put the setting on medium, and dry the clothing for about 15 minutes. Hang the clothes up right after removing them from the dryer so that wrinkles don't come back. Or wear them right away. If you leave the clothes in the dryer for a long time after the cycle ends or toss them into a clothes basket, the wrinkles will probably return. Put a couple ice cubes into the dryer or mist the clothing with water before drying them. The ice cubes will melt, and turn into steam, which will help remove the wrinkles from the clothing. Or you could put a damp sock into the dryer with the wrinkled clothing. Many people have found this method will remove wrinkles fast. Start the shower, and put the water on hot. Close your bathroom door so the steam can't get out.
Summary: Put the clothing in a clothes dryer with an ice cube. Try putting the wrinkled clothing in the shower.

Problem: Article: Keeping your body well hydrated makes it easier to produce saliva, which in turn can help to clear the infection and blockage. Additionally, sour foods spur the production of saliva, so dropping a lemon wedge or two into your water glass is doubly effective. Plain water with lemon is the best choice, as opposed to sugary beverages like lemonade, which are bad for your dental and overall health. Sour candies cause your saliva production to increase, but stick to sugar-free versions in order to protect your teeth. For a more natural and sour! fix, cut a lemon into wedges and suck on them one at a time throughout the day. Add half a teaspoon of table salt to 8 fluid ounces (240ml) of lukewarm water. Take sips of the water, swish them around in your mouth for several seconds each, and spit them out. Don't swallow the water. Do this roughly 3 times per day, or as often as your doctor advises. Salted water helps to clear away the infection and can provide some temporary pain relief. Soak a cloth in warm but not uncomfortably hot water, then hold it against your skin outside the spot where the infected gland is located. Hold it there until the cloth cools. You can typically repeat this as often as desired, unless otherwise instructed by your doctor. Warm compresses can help reduce swelling and provide some temporary pain relief. Salivary gland infections most commonly occur in the glands in the back of your mouth, so you'll typically be holding the compress just beneath your ear. Applying gentle pressure, move your first two fingers in a circular motion on the skin outside the infected gland for example, right beneath one of your ears. Do this as often as you like, or as directed by your doctor. Massaging the area can help relieve pain and swelling, and may aid in clearing away the salivary duct blockage. Ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help relieve the pain associated with a salivary gland infection, and reduce the fever you might develop due to the infection. Even though these are OTC medications found in practically every medicine cabinet, it's best to consult your doctor before taking one for a salivary gland infection. Take the medication as directed on the packaging and/or by your doctor. Major complications are rare with salivary gland infections, but they can occur. If you develop a high-grade fever (above 103F (39C) for adults), or begin to have difficulty swallowing or breathing, seek emergency medical care. If you're having trouble breathing, this is a life-threatening condition. These symptoms can indicate that the infection has spread.
Summary: Drink 8-10 glasses of water with lemon per day. Suck on lemon candies or lemon wedges. Rinse your mouth with salted, tepid water. Apply warm compresses to your cheek or jaw. Massage your cheek or jaw with your fingers. Take over-the-counter pain relievers as advised by your doctor. Contact your doctor again if your condition worsens.

Problem: Article: Moisture is a big factor in carpenter ant infestations. Often, a patch of wood will become susceptible to infestation after it's been exposed to moisture. By fixing or sealing any leaks that allow water into your house, you can make it much more difficult for carpenter ants to nest. Below are a few suggestions for eliminating the moisture that can contribute to carpenter ant infestations: Check around windows for signs of an improper seal Check your roof and weather-facing walls for leaks Keep basements, attics, and crawl spaces well-ventilated Look for and fix leaky pipes Clean clogged gutters to eliminate runoff water If carpenter ants can no longer get in and out your house, any indoor satellite colonies that are being fed by larger outside colonies will become isolated and may die off. Inspect the outside of your home for cracks, holes, and other small spaces that allow the passage of ants - pay special attention to the areas of exterior walls that are closest to the ground or foundation. Seal any holes you find with caulk or a strong putty. Also check around the points where water and electrical lines enter your home, as these points are extra vulnerable to ant infestation. Because carpenter ants like to make their nests in wood both inside and outside of buildings, finding and eliminating infested wood outside your wood can keep ants from making their way into your house. Carefully inspect any sources of wood near your home - if infested, move or carefully dispose of these wood sources. Places to look include: Stumps Firewood piles Old trees, especially if their branches touch your house. Piles of yard waste If carpenter ants are a recurring problem, you may want to think about installing a small strip of gravel or stones around your home. This "barrier" zone is fairly inhospitable to carpenter ants and may discourage them from crawling into your house through holes near the foundation. Consult with a contractor to discuss the practicality and affordability of such a project at your house, or, if you're particularly handy, tackle this home improvement project yourself.
Summary:
Eliminate sources of moisture. Seal up entry points, cracks and crevices. Eliminate wood materials near your home. Consider installing an artificial barrier.
