Write an article based on this "Look at its general condition. Think about its size. Launder the linen."
article: The condition of the linen will give you an idea of whether it is good material to reuse. It will also give you an idea of what you can reuse it for. When considering a piece of linen, look at: The material itself. Some material might just be unsuitable for certain projects. For instance, linen drapes that are coated with fire retardant from the 1940s or 1950s may present health hazards. Whether it is discolored. Depending on the project, discolored fabric may add to the overall look and appeal of a material. If it has holes in it. If so, you may need to trim substantial amounts of fabric to get something you can work with. After its general condition, you'll need to evaluate the size of the old linen so you can determine what you can make from it. When considering size, think about: Curtains and bed sheets lend themselves to new lives as new dresses, new curtains, or a variety of smaller pieces of clothing or household accessories. Smaller articles like hankies, pillow cases, or small curtains can be repurposed as small articles of clothing or can be sewed together into curtains, quilts, or even pieces of clothing. Before repurposing any linen, you need to properly launder and clean it. Not only will this prepare the linen for its new life, but you'll reveal any stains or any other imperfections that might make you reconsider reusing a specific piece of linen. Wash older, fragile fabrics in warm water in the sink. For newer linens, wash the on the gentle cycle in the washing machine. Use a light, color-safe detergent.

Write an article based on this "Be confident. Listen. Get to know people. Get into friendly arguments. Compliment people. Make it evident that you dislike attention if you feel too much of the spotlight has fallen onto you during a group conversation. Use the typical shy person's existing humility to make yourself more approachable."
article: When you're talking to someone, aim to be confident. To be more confident, use the things you've planned to help you know what to say, don't worry about sounding banal or repetitivemost chit chat is anyway. Also, it's okay to fake feeling confidentconfidence comes with practice. Being not shy isn't just being an annoying chatterbox, it's making conversation with people, and conversation involves multiple voices. Talk more and don't always be silent. Get into a conversation with people and engage in some genuine, meaningful back-and-forth. Many shy people are known as loud and talkative with their friends, but strangers think they're quiet and shy.To fix that, make strangers your friends. At shops and restaurants, smile and say thank you to the waiter, or shopkeeper. At school, you can just say something like "Hey, I'm [insertnamehere]" to make friends. If everybody is talking wildly about loving cats, and you don't love them, start a friendly argument by saying "That's not true!" and pretending (but clearly pretending) to be angry. Honestly saying you like their earrings or something is going to make them think of you as friendly. This doesn't mean cowering and throwing the attention to someone else, it means saying things like "Why is everybody looking at me all of a sudden?" or "Not sure why I've attracted everyone's attention but I know you've all got other things to add!". Be polite, humorous and friendly when you try to turn the attention away from you. Couple this with self-deprecating humour. Laughing and saying "I should have won that because I'm amazing at making a mess/doing the worst job better than anyone else!" when you failed at the thing you're talking about is good fun. Obviously, don't brag about things.

Write an article based on this "Check the username rules for the site you're using. Build a play on words from your first name. Combine two or more of your favorite things. Add a memorable number to your favorite pastime. Rely on an odd habit or interest that sets you apart. Pair a like or interest with an adjective. Make sure your prospective username conveys the right tone."

Before you start working on a killer username, make sure you can actually use it! For example, most sites will not allow you to use a part of your password or profanity in your username. While using personal information like your full date of birth or your current address may not necessarily be banned, it's a very bad idea for security reasons. Consider trying things like rhymes, such as "dennisthemenace" or "SillyLily." Or, use alliteration like "meticulousmathilda" or "PensivePenny." While these strategies might not be unique in and of themselves, your take on editing your name will be. If you'd prefer not to use your first name, try your middle name! Simply brainstorm a list of your favorite things, then smash two or three of them together into a username. You can create absurd, nonsensical usernames in this way, which increases the chances of having a one-of-a-kind username. For example, if you like pandas and orcas, you might make your username "PandaWhale." Or, if you'd like a more edgy username, you might try "KillerPanda." Try using two favorites from different categories. For instance, if you love ice hockey and creating art out of scrap metal, you might become "IceWelder." Making a username out of what you love to do will not only make it easy to remember, it will make it uniquely personal. You'll probably have to tack on a number, though, since there are a lot of usernames with things like "swimmer" or "juggler" in them. One way to do this is to use your pastime in conjunction with your birth yearfor example, "climber86" or "fictionauthor91." If you'd prefer not to use your birth year for privacy or security purposes, choose another memorable set of digits. For instance, if you'll always remember that you did your first stand-up comedy routine in 2014, you might become "OpenMic14." Like most people, you probably have one or two interests, traits, feelings, or habits that your friends and family attribute only to you. These are things that set you apart from the bulk of the population, and can therefore be good fodder for a username. For example, if you habitually tap your foot when you're sitting down, you might choose "ToeTapTerry." Unique things don't have to be things that only you embody. For example, if all of your friends like kumquats but you're obsessed with them, your exceptional love of said fruit might make you "kumquatkate." Create two columns on a sheet of paper. In the left column, write down a list of adjectives (funny, lazy, spunky, sarcastic, etc.) that you'd use to describe yourself. In the right column, jot down a list of things that you enjoy, like your favorite activities, favorite animals, and number-one dessert choice. Then, combine one choice from each column until you find a pairing you really like! You'll often find usernames that derive from this "adjective-noun" formulafor instance, "DeviousChinchilla" or "AggravatedCremeBrulee." So, while the formula itself isn't unique, the combination you come up with can be. You might want to convey humor or silliness in your username, or you might want to inspire a darker, more visceral reaction. Keep this in mind as you come up with possible usernames, and especially when deciding on one. For example, a silly username for a writer might be "CaffeinatedPenFiend," while a more intense username could be something like "InkandFire."
