Keep mixing until the color is uniform and there are no unmixed streaks. Set the dressing aside, preferably in the fridge, so that it's nice and cold. Make sure that you are using the smooth kind of salsa and not the chunky kind; do not use pico de gallo. Place a large skillet onto the stove, and turn the heat up to medium-high. Add the beef, and use a wooden spoon or spatula to break it up. Cook the meat, stirring occasionally, until it turns brown and starts to crumble. Tear open the package of taco seasoning, and pour it into a cup. Add the water, and mix the two together using a fork or mini whisk. Stir the meat occasionally to help the flavors mix and the meat to cook evenly. This will prevent your salad from wilting or becoming too soggy. Save the rest of the cheese for garnishing, and do not add the chips yet. To prevent the salad from getting too soggy, make sure that the meat is cool and drained. The beans and tomatoes should also be drained. You don't have to include all of the ingredients. If you don't like olives, leave them out! If you don't like beans, consider using corn instead. You can add some extra ingredients as well, such as chopped avocado or diced onion. Anything that could be found in a taco will work. You can do this using a pair of salad tongs, or two large spoons. Scoop the salad from the bottom of the bowl, and drop it back gently on top. Keep doing this until the dressing is evenly distributed throughout the salad. You can tuck the chips around the sides of the bowl, or you can keep them separate, so that people can grab them as they please; not everyone enjoys soggy chips! You can garnish the salad with and additional cup (cc grams) of salsa.

Summary: Mix the salsa and sour cream together in a small bowl using a fork or mini whisk, then set it aside. Cook the ground sirloin over medium-high heat. Mix the water and taco seasoning in a cup. Pour the seasoning into the skillet, lower the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain the beef, then set it aside to cool. Put the beef, lettuce, tomatoes, beans, olives, and half of the cheese into a large bowl. Add the dressing, and toss the salad. Garnish the salad with the rest of the cheese, and serve it with tortilla chips.

Fill up a clear glass with water. Then, look closely to see if there are any visible particles floating in the water. See if the water appears color-tinted when looking through it. These are not precise signs of disease, but of the dirtiness that often goes along with infected water. The exact elements of E. coli are not visible to the naked eye. However, if specks of feces are floating in water, then it is likely infected with E. coli and other nasty bacteria. Research the environmental authority in your area and see if they have a list of official laboratories that are approved to conduct water sample testing. Contact the laboratory and get exact instructions as to how to collect and send in your sample. In some areas, a particular official, often called a state certification officer, is responsible for water sample testing. If you have a well, then it's generally suggested to test your water at least once a year. Otherwise, the contaminants could return. Verify that the lab will test for E. coli specifically. Otherwise, you might not find out if your water is infected. About 3-4 days after you are exposed, you'll start to fell unwell and exhibit symptoms. Digestive upset, including cramping and diarrhea, are the hallmark sings of an E. coli infection. These issues often progress to continual nausea and vomiting, making it hard to keep food or liquids down. If you start to feel excessively week or can't stop vomiting, reach out to your doctor for help. You want to avoid getting dehydrated or losing too much weight. Also, seek medical help if your diarrhea appears bloody, as this could indicate a serious intestinal problem.

Summary: Check your water for debris or discoloration. Send a sample to a water-testing laboratory. Watch for the development of E coli symptoms.

Even if you have one or more of the risk factors for genetic disorders, or if your doctor recommends genetic counseling, you may still feel apprehensive about taking that step. That's perfectly normal, and it's worth stopping to examine your feelings. Will more information make you feel more confident or more anxious? Will having more information help you feel more prepared for the most likely outcomes of your pregnancy? Some pregnant women and their partners are opposed to abortion in all circumstances. They know they would continue with a pregnancy no matter what information they might get from a genetic counselor, so they worry that any "bad news" they do receive would only add unnecessary anxiety. If this is your position, that's absolutely valid, but understand that genetic counselors will never pressure you to terminate your pregnancy. Further, the information they give you might help you prepare more effectively for the possibility of having a baby with a genetic disorder or birth defect. Your doctor should be able to offer you some basic advice about the pros and cons of genetic counseling for someone in your particular situation. Raise any concerns you have with your doctor first, and see what he or she recommends. If you have a spouse or partner, take the time to have a serious conversation about the possibility of genetic counseling. Good communication will help you make a decision together; it will also set the right tone for handling any issues that do come up.

Summary: Evaluate your emotions honestly. Talk openly with your doctor. Discuss genetic counseling with your partner.

You can also purchase old shirts at a thrift store if you don't have any that need to be refashioned. The more worn the fabric is, the better it will work. High-low shirts tend to be drapey and hang loosely over the stomach and hips. They can even be layered over tank tops. Baseball shirts or those with a similar hem are even easier to convert.
Summary: Find an old t-shirt or button down shirt in your closet. Choose a shirt that is loose. Opt for a shirt that has a flap in front and back.
