Q: If you aren't talking to each other, someone will have to make the first move. Let it be you this time! It will show them that you want to be friends again and you're serious about resolving things. Think about how you can reach them. Depending on the person and the severity of your argument, you may need to try a few different ways to get in touch. If they won't answer your phone call, leave a voicemail saying you really want to fix things, then text them with a similar message. If they block your texts, email them. If your email is ignored, try to communicate with a private message through social media. If all else fails, you can try visiting them in person at their house. Reach out once and wait for a response before trying to reach them a different way. You don't want to make them feel harassed or pressured. If they agree to meet you via text or email, it may be best to meet in a mutual, public place so that neither of you feels intimidated or under pressure. If your friend refuses to see or speak with you, or if visiting them in person isn't an option, you may want to just back off for a while. Your friend wants space and that should be respected. Use the time to reflect on the situation and prepare what you want to say. Don't push your friend if it's clear they want space. It will only upset them and make them frustrated with you. Explain what you feel is the problem and be honest about it. Then ask them to do the same. Let them talk for as long as they need to. Really listen and don't interrupt them. This way, you both get to tell your side of the story and get everything out on the table. Express your feelings without using inflammatory or accusatory words. For example, instead of saying, "You made a really dumb decision," ask your friend, "Why did you decide to do that? I'm having trouble understanding." This will prevent blame from being thrown around and create a more peaceful tone while you talk. For example, instead of saying "You were a selfish jerk," say something like, "I felt like you didn't care about my feelings, and I felt really hurt by the things you said." Even if you didn't do anything and you believe the situation is their fault, opening with an apology sets the tone. You could say, "I'm really sorry things have gotten to this point. I want things to be better between us." If you did wrong them in some way, apologize to them sincerely. If they apologize to you, accept their apology graciously. It's important that you don't say or do anything hurtful during this conversation. This will only further damage the friendship, and it may make things irreparable. Do your best to keep things peaceful. If things get heated, don't allow them to escalate. For example, if your friend says to you, "I just can't believe you did that to me! I will never trust you again!" you can say something like, "I know, it was a really dumb thing for me to do. I am so sorry. I want to make things right, please tell me how I can do that."
A: Be the one to reach out before the other. Get in touch with them however you can. Respect your friend's need for space. Talk about the problem honestly and openly. Use "I" statements when talking to them. Apologize to them and accept their apology. Avoid restarting an argument.

Article: Think about who your parents enjoy being around. You might consider family members, close friends of the family, and even coworkers. Also, think about the size of your house. You don't want to overload the house with too many people. In addition, think about how much money to spend. While you can throw a party on a budget, you do need to think about how many people you can reasonably invite. If the weather will be nice, consider having the party outside in your backyard or in a common area of your apartment complex. You may be able to invite more people than if you have it inside. Send out invitations 2 months in advance. If you want it to be a surprise, make sure you emphasize that on your invitation. Include the date, the time, and reason you're celebrating. If you want, you can use the internet to invite people. Just remember to make it a private event so your parents can't see it. You can make a simple invitation on the computer, or you can buy some from a craft store or an online store. Most great parties have great food, but it doesn't need to be extravagant. For instance, you could just have sparkling grape juice or champagne and cake. Alternatively, you could throw a potluck. You could make something like pulled pork sandwiches, and then ask guests to bring a dish. Most people are more than happy to help. You could also cook one of your parents' favorite dishes. In fact, you can ask guests to bring a dish instead of bringing a gift! No party is complete without some music, so make up a playlist of music your parents enjoy. Play it over speakers for the party. However, don't make the music too loud, as you want your guests to be able to hear each other! Each anniversary year has a traditional "gift" that matches the year. You can incorporate that into your decorations, as the traditional "gift" is a material, such as cotton or steel. For instance, year 10 is tin/aluminum. Other traditional gifts include silver for 25, pearl for 30, coral for 35, ruby for 40, sapphire for 45, and gold for 50 years. So for the 10th anniversary, tin/aluminum, you could include silvery aluminum decorations. Otherwise, consider things like blowing up pictures to place around, getting fresh flowers, hanging balloons and streamers, and/or hanging up a banner. If you want to liven things up, consider planning a game for the party. A game will help create a sense of togetherness at the party, and you can use the game to celebrate your parents. For instance, you could set up a trivia game with questions about the year your parents got married. You could also make a little trivia game about your parents. Write 10 to 20 fun questions about your parents, and print them out on sheets of paper. Have pens around so guests can fill them out. Award prizes for the most correct answers, as well as the funniest. You are celebrating your parents, so why not use the party to help create something special for them? That way, your parents have something to remember the occasion. For instance, you could have a guest book where people write notes to your parents. You could also create a thumbprint tree, where guests leave a thumbprint on a canvas to create the leaves of the tree. Have them sign their thumbprint once it dries. Another option is using an instant printing camera to take photos, and then have guests write a little note to go with the photos.

Q: If you're in a hurry, you can speed things along by placing it in front of a dehumidifier or fan on a low setting. Once the gelatin is fully dried, it will curl up and peel away from the plastic sheet. Re-grind these larger pieces for a more uniformly fine-grained glitter. However, if you're okay with more variety in glitter sizes, you can skip this step altogether. Your edible glitter should last for months, but may lose some sparkle over time. Be sure to keep away from water and sunlight to prolong its shelf life.
A:
Allow the glitter solidify overnight. Sift your glitter through a sieve to separate out larger pieces. Store in an airtight container or jar.
