Problem: Article: You will use thin set mortar to attach the tiles to the wall or other tiling surface. You'll need to mix the mortar according to the package instructions, but generally you want to start with the powder and add water very gradually. When the mortar has a consistency like peanut butter, you've got the right amount of water. Mix only what you can spread in 20 minutes. Let the mortar sit for 10 minutes, stir it up again and then it's ready to use. Spread the mortar using a notched trowel in a roughly 3'x3' space. Spread the mortar out and then use the trowel to create straight, parallel lines in the mortar. These will help the tiles adhere to the wall. You might want to do a test tile first, however, in order to make sure that your mortar is the right consistency. Place a tile down and them pull it back off: when you set the tile on the mortar, if the mortar comes up between the tiles so that it is even with the face of the tile, then your mortar is too thick or maybe wet. If you see lines of mortar on the back of your tile when you pull it up, then your mortar is too dry or the bed of mortar is too thin. Talk to your local hardware store about the trowel size that they would recommend for your particular project. Usually, glass tiles come in sheets and trowel with smaller notches will be needed. However, if you are using larger glass tiles that are not in a sheet, the average 3/8" trowel will probably be better. With the mortar in place, you can start setting out your tiles or tile sheets. Simply press them firmly into the mortar; push it solidly against the surface but remember that it's not toothpaste. You don't want to push the tile so that you disturb the mortar. You just want to get the tile to stick. Try to start in a corner or against a wall, to cut down on the amount of cutting and sizing that you need to do. Insert tile spacers between the tiles or tile sheets as you go. If you are using tile sheets, you can cut the sheets as needed to create a sheet of any size or shape for your project. You can also cut out the middle of a sheet in order to make space for outlets. Simply use a utility knife to cut the mesh backing. You will likely have a space that does not perfectly fit the tiles that you have, create a need for only a portion of a tile. In order to fill these gaps, you will need to cut the tiles to size. You will need to use a wet saw with a blade designed for glass in order to cut glass tiles. Be very careful and keep your fingers as far away from the blade as possible. The old rule of "measure twice, cut once" is your friend here. Be very sure about how much tile tile you need before you cut it. Once you've got all of your tiles in place, you can remove your tile spacers. If you mixed your mortar correctly, the tiles should now stay in place. You will now want to let the mortar thoroughly cure before you do the grout. This usually takes around 24 hours. Make sure that the area is well ventilated and that moisture is kept to a minimum.
Summary: Mix some thin set mortar. Spread the mortar. Lay your tiles. Cut tiles as needed. Remove the spacers before you continue. Let the thinset cure.

Problem: Article: One drink may be okay but several can block the breathing passages in your nose especially at night. Read the labels of any medication you are taking as it generally is not recommended to combine medications with alcohol.

Be careful not to burn yourself if placing your head over a bowl of hot water. Avoid dehydration by drinking a lot of water. You lose a lot of fluids when you're sick and have a runny nose and are congested. Replenish yourself with fluids that naturally have a calming effect. Choose a tea-like chamomile to help you relax. Adding some honey to your tea as it helps to soothe your throat. Many types of herbal tea can help with congestion, for instance, licorice root tea is an expectorant.
