Q: Clean an empty mayonnaise jar with the label still attached, then fill it with yogurt. Take it to a public park or cafeteria and eat it enthusiastically by the spoonful. Glue on a Windex label or other cleaning product label. Spray it onto your car window or another object, wiping it off with a rag. Spray it into your mouth occasionally, while someone is watching. Using an actual Windex bottle is not recommended, unless you are certain it is thoroughly washed. Act as though you have nothing on your hand, eating, shaking hands, and so forth as normal. After one or more people have been watching you for several minutes, pretend to be surprised by the puppet, scream loudly, and run away with the hand puppet "chasing" you. This works with any unexpected object as well. Try searching thrift shops, antique stores, and yard sales for eerie-looking statuettes. Many pranksters have copied the visual style of signs found in subways, on telephone poles, or elsewhere, then altered the words or pictures to include silly messages. Be aware that placing these signs on property that isn't yours may attract the attention of police or employees, and is illegal in some locales. Pretend you are an incompetent spy, a time traveler, or a lunatic. For maximum confusion, begin by acting relatively normal, and drop increasingly bizarre hints about your "true nature." Here are example scenarios: Dress in a futuristic, silver suit, or other sci-fi style. Act confused around everyday objects, for instance by smelling a mobile phone or attempting to get on a bicycle upside-down. Carry on an ordinary conversation, but include longer and longer pauses before your replies. Start giggling for no reason, then abruptly put on a serious expression and say "I need to return to the asylum now." and walk away backwards. It's easy to earn a few confused glances, but with extra effort, you can transform them into laughter and applause without sacrificing the confusion, of course. Here's some advice to get you started: For a public comedy sketch, begin with one person dressed in a bizarre costume or doing something unusual, attracting attention while pretending that nothing is unusual. After a few minutes, have one or more other characters show up and talk to the first person loudly. Organize a flash mob to rush in on a certain location and dance, sing, or perform another communal activity. Check Improv Everywhere for upcoming events you can join in your area.
A: Fill a mayonnaise jar with yogurt. Fill a spray bottle with blue sports drink. Walk around wearing a hand puppet. Post fake signs in public. Act as though you have a poorly-kept secret. Plan a public sketch or flash mob.

Q: Turn the unit on and make sure it kicks in and runs properly. If the unit doesn't run, call a technician. If you hear any squealing or knocking the unit's motor and belts may need lubricating or replacing. It's best to call a certified technician to do these jobs. Leave the thermometer in the room for a few minutes to give it time to adjust and make sure all the rooms are equal in temperature. If they are not the same, a technician can help you diagnose and correct the problem.
A: Start at the unit control or thermostat. Listen for any strange noises while the unit runs. Check the room temperature in each of the home's rooms by carrying a hand held thermometer into the room. Make sure the temperature of the rooms agrees with the thermostat on your air conditioner unit as well. Look for water dripping or pooling anywhere by the air return or unit outside.

Q: Individuals who have satisfying interpersonal relationships and friendships show reduced depression, a more positive outlook, and a better ability to deal with challenging situations and feelings overall. Social support can help reduce stress that is associated with feeling lonely. Going to therapy and going to family therapy are good ways to work on your relationships. Focus on engaging in social activities that can lead to friendships. Keep away from cynical and negative people if they bring you down. Ask for help when you need it. Rejection can be more of a worry when you feel lonely. Try not to put pressure on yourself to make a new best friend or a fantastic conversation with each social interaction. Instead, try to enjoy the feeling of connecting in the moment. Social networking allows you to connect without having to worry too much about rejection. Try leaving a comment on someone's post, or sending someone a short message. When you're socializing in person, whether with someone you know or a stranger, try making small talk. You can start with the friendly question, "How is your day going?". Asking someone how their day is going may not seem like the start of a profound conversation, but it allows you to make a small connection with anyone you meet. If it leads to a deeper conversation, that's fine; if not, you've still shared a moment with another person. Signing up for a dating website, joining a group or club, volunteering, or taking a class are just a few ways to put yourself in situations where you'll meet new people who share common interests. If you are interested in and connect with someone, a great way to follow up is by adding him or her on a social networking site (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter). Remember that the relationships you form may not grow deeper right away, and that's OK. For now, focus on how it feels to connect with people in the moment. It can be tough to get out there and socialize. Each time you make a connection, whether it's making small talk with a stranger or asking someone in your class out for coffee, be proud of yourself for reaching out. Feeling positive about your social achievements will help you continue making an effort to connect with people. As your social needs are increasingly met, you'll begin to feel less lonely.
A:
Develop healthy relationships. Have realistic expectations when you socialize. Be open to meeting new people. Be proud when you make progress.
