Article: Many people are jealous of people who are tall because of all of the advantages that come with it. Write down as many advantages as you can think of and review your list whenever you are feeling down about being tall. These advantages may be personal, such as being more attractive to the opposite sex. The advantages may be professional, such as having an advantage in a sport like basketball or volleyball. Or, the advantages might just include everyday things, like being able to reach items on high shelves. Your height is not the only thing that makes you who you are. Think about your interests, values, and personality traits and write these down. Your list might include things like: Your taste in music, books, movies, clothing, or other personal preferences. Your interests and hobbies, such as playing a sport, baking, painting, or writing. Things that you value, such as hard work, creativity, and originality. Your personality traits such as honesty, loyalty, and kindness. Journaling is a great way to relieve stress and express your feelings. To help you express how being tall makes you feel, try starting a journal and write in it any time you feel self-conscious about your height. For example, if someone teases you for being tall, then you might describe what happened and how it made you feel. Talking about your feelings can also be a helpful way to begin to embrace your height. Try talking with a trustworthy friend or family member about how being tall makes you feel. Talk to someone who will listen to you and who will be compassionate about what you share. You might even try talking with someone who is also tall and ask if he or she dealt with similar feelings. You could also talk with a school counselor or a therapist if being tall is something that is affecting your confidence or making you want to avoid particular situations. For example, if you are avoiding social events due to your height, then this can interfere with your life.

If you are using a printed T-shirt, keep the design facing up so that you can see where you are cutting. Plain T-shirts work great for rags as well as scraps for other sewing projects, such as toys. Printed T-shirts work great for bags, quilts, and patches. If you need to, use a ruler and a marker to draw a horizontal line across the front of the shirt first, then cut along the line that you drew. Set the top part containing the sleeves aside. Alternatively, you can use a ruler and a rotary cutter to cut across the shirt. If you are using a printed T-shirt, cut the sleeves off first, then cut straight across the shirt, 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1cm) above the design. Turn the shirt inside out first, then set it down on a flat surface. Smooth out any wrinkles, then cut the side seams off along the stitching. Set the 2 pieces aside when you are done. Use fabric scissors or a rotary cutter to do this. If you want to, you can cut the bottom hem off too. Go back to the top part of the shirt that you set aside earlier; it's the part with the sleeves. Use a ruler and marker to draw the largest rectangle you can between the sleeves, bottom of the collar, and cut edge. To save more fabric, do the front of the shirt first, then the back. The collar is usually bigger in the front than in the back. Cut the sleeves off the remaining fabric first. Next, turn them inside-out, then cut the seam off. Spread the sleeves flat, and cut across the top (shoulder) edge to make them more rectangular. You can leave the bottom edge hemmed, or you can cut the hem off. You can use a rotary cutter for this. These rectangular pieces are perfect for sewing together into a quilt or blanket. Make them easier to work with by ironing fusible interfacing to the back. You can also cut the pieces up further to sew into a simple doll, teddy bear, or cat toy.

Article: Typically, screen doors are made from a lightweight aluminum frame and fiberglass screen material. To remove the door, lift it upward while pulling the bottom away from the track along the bottom. Then, place the door on a flat surface. If you have a door handle in the way of your screen, remove the screws with a flathead screwdriver to take it off. The door should easily come off with moderate force. Not all door styles will have a door handle overlapping the screen. If your screen door is on hinges, tap the hinge pins with a screwdriver to remove them and slide the door upward from the hinges. The splines are pieces of narrow rubber tubing that keep the screen secure around the door frame. There is a separate piece of spline for each side of the screen. Use an awl or your screwdriver to pry up the spline at the corner of the frame. Then, grab the spline and gently pull it upward. Do this for all 4 sides of your door frame. Be careful when removing the splines. If they are still in good shape, you can reuse them. If you pierce the splines or damage them, throw them away and get new splines that have the same diameter as the old ones. Once the splines are removed, the screen is no longer attached to the door. At this point, you can simply lift it off of the door frame. Fold it up, roll it up, or bunch it up before you throw it away.
