Typically, the tongue will swell some after being pierced. For some people, it's quite unnoticeable, for some it can be quite alarming. To manage the pain over the next few days, as well as any swelling you might experience, befriend a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory like Ibuprofen and suck on ice chips to help numb your tongue and keep the swelling down. Many people with tongue piercings find it helpful to suck on ice cubes immediately afterwards. This can help the swelling from starting, and numb the initial pain. You don't need to remove the piercing and clean it. The piercing will heal best when left alone. Focus on keeping your mouth clean, not messing with the piercing itself. As tempting as it may be, don't try to remove it to inspect the healing process, and mess with it as little as possible. Let your mouth heal itself. Use a gentle mouthwash and rinse out your mouth regularly to lower your risk of infection. Alternate salt-water rinses with mouthwash. Saliva has strong antibacterial properties that work to keep your mouth clean, but your mouth is still subject to lots of incoming risk of infection. Take care to clean it out and don't risk a painful infection. You'll be able to manage the pain and avoid the risk of infection much more easily if you stick to juice and other foods you can sip for the first two days, at least. Listen to your body, but it's usually best if you avoid chewing and get used to the bar in your mouth for a while before trying to eat solid food. As your tongue starts to heal, avoid alcohol and smoke, which can agitate the wound and keep it from healing like it should. To be on the safe side, avoid them. One unexpectedly difficult issue that many newly-pierced people experience is that it's somewhat difficult to speak without a slight lisp, or feeling as if you've got a hard candy in your mouth at all times. The best way to speak properly: ignore it. Try your best to stop "holding" the bar as if it were a piece of candy, and just leave it alone as best you can. You'll instinctively try to keep the stud in your mouth, which you don't need to do. It's not going anywhere. Total recovery can take up to a month, depending on the job and the person. When it starts to feel comfortable, it's good to switch to a smaller and more comfortable tongue stud than the one you used to get the piercing started. Change the bar to a smaller bar in about two weeks when the swelling has gone down.

Summary: Use ice and Ibuprofen to manage the swelling. Leave the piercing in. Wash out your mouth twice a day with mouthwash and twice with salt water. Avoid eating solid foods for 24-48 hours. Avoid alcohol and smoking for at least two weeks. Try learning to speak normally with the bar in. Put in a smaller stud when the piercing heals.

While searing your chuck roast, turn on your oven so it has time to heat up before you cook the meat. Try to preheat the oven at least 30 minutes before you cook the roast so it reaches 350F (177C) when your roast is ready to bake. You can use a slow cooker instead of an oven for a juicier, more tender roast. Keep in mind, however, that slow cooking meats may take several hours longer.

Summary: Preheat your oven to 350F (177C).

Never enter a fight that you can't win. If the bully has a lot of his friends around don't try to get physical. Avoid a fight at all costs. Even if you win the fight, you might need to leave very quickly. Take account of your surroundings and where you'll escape to. If you know the bully is stronger than you, try packing your hands. Keep two rolls of quarters in your backpack. When the bully confronts you, take them out and hold one in either hand. Your punch will be much more powerful with the weight of the quarters behind it. You can also throw the quarters at the person if you are in a desperate situation. Holding quarters will also prevent fractures. Make sure that you don't grip your thumbs when you punch. You might break them. Don't wait until you're in a position of weakness. If the bully has pushed or mocked you, he probably won't have his guard up. If this is something he does commonly, you are entitled to fight back. Hit/kick him hard in a weak spot as hard as you possibly can, and then follow that up with multiple other hits. One of the biggest mistakes that people can make in a fight is throwing one punch, and then backing off. As soon as you enter the fight you have to stay on the offensive to avoid retaliation. You can end the fight quickly. Don't pull your punch. Hitting someone isn't a good feeling. We have a natural tendency to pull our punches, which means not following through on your momentum. You need to punch hard. Unless you're trained in wrestling, try to avoid going to the ground. If he rapidly punches, keep dodging. You cannot effectively block punches in a real fight. Duck his punches, or just otherwise avoid them. This means the gut, the groin, and the throat. Don't throw a punch unless it will hit one of these three areas. Unless you're trained to kick, avoid kicking high. You'll put yourself off balance and it will allow the other person to grab your leg and potentially put you to the ground. You'll have adrenaline coursing through your body. Your legs might shake and your teeth might be chattering. Just keep telling yourself that you have to be the aggressor. Don't pause until you're sure you have won, and then get out of there quickly. Do not be the aggressor so much that you seriously injure them. Just make sure that you have ended the fight and you can get away.
Summary: Assess the situation. Find an escape route. Pack your knuckles. Attack unexpectedly. Keep your distance if the bully attacks you first. Go for the weak spots. Avoid kicking. Be confident and stick to the plan.
