Problem: Article: Depending on if you are going to use either the "days in a year" or "days in a month" method to calculate your prorated rent amount, determine the respective cost of your utilities. For example, your utilities might be 50$/month, or 600$/year. For whatever method you are using, add the calculated utility cost to the calculated rent cost to create a sum of total money you owe the landlord per month, or per year. Include here other landlord paid/reimbursed expenses if applicable. In mathematical format: rent rate + utility rate = total $$ you owe the landlord For example, if monthly rent is 900$ and monthly utilities is 50$, then your total sum of money owed to the landlord each month is 950$. For example, If yearly rent is 10,800$ and yearly utilities is $600, then you owe the landlord $11,400 each year. Use either the "days in a year" or "days in a month" method to calculate your prorated rent amount. In your equations, replace your total monthly or yearly rent amount with this calculated total sum of rent and utilities. For monthly rent: ANSWER = [(rent + utilities for a month) / 31] x # of days you're staying For yearly rent: ANSWER = [(rent + utilities for a year) / 365] x # of days you're staying
Summary: Calculate total monthly or yearly utilities. Add utilities cost to rent cost. Calculate prorated rent total.

Problem: Article: Some dogs are afraid of the bath. You can help your dog associate the bath with positive experience with a few tricks. Start by placing your dog in the bathtub without water. Do this multiple times in the days prior to a bath. Bathe it in minimal water. Work up to pouring water over it (especially over its face) as it becomes more comfortable. Whenever you bathe your dog, offer it a treat and lots of praise. Dachshunds produce a special hair oil that helps to insulate them from the elements. Bathing your shorthaired dachshund too often will remove this oil. Unless your dog is covered in dirt or your veterinarian recommends it, only bathe your dachshund around once a month. . Dogs are sensitive to water temperature, just like people. Fill your tub with warm (but not too hot) water. You will want the water to come up no higher than your dog's tummy. If your dog is small enough, you may be able to use the sink. You can also use a baby pool in the yard when it's a hot day. Pour out about a quarter-size dollop of shampoo, lather it in your hands, and begin applying to your dog. Many dogs enjoy being bathed. If yours does not, ask a friend to help keep it stable and calm as you apply and lather the shampoo. Be sure to use dog shampoo which is formulated to maintain the pH balance of a dog's skin. Be sure to lather their back, belly, and the top of their head. Avoid getting soap in their eyes or ears. Do not use your fingernails to shampoo. It can scratch your dog's skin. Carefully pour water over your dog's fur to remove all the suds. If your bathtub has a detachable shower head, this will work great. Otherwise, a bucket or other container will work. Be careful not to let any soap flow into your dog's eyes. Wash and rinse your dog's face last to minimize the time the shampoo is in contact with the area. Using a warm, fluffy towel carefully remove any excess water from your dog. You may also want to stand back and allow your dog to "shake." If the sound does not bother your dog, you can also apply heat from a hair dryer on its lowest setting.
Summary: Create positive associations with bathing. Avoid bathing your dog too often. Fill a tub with lukewarm water Apply shampoo. Rinse. Dry your dog.

Problem: Article: You may not be able to stop inappropriate laughing on your own, and that's okay! A therapist can help you identify what's causing your laughter and recommend better ways to overcome it. You can find a therapist by searching online. People may experience periodic bouts of inappropriate, uncontrollable laughter due to conditions like pseudobulbar affect (PBA), bipolar disorder, dementia, stroke, or other neurological conditions. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can help some people find relief from recurring bouts of laughter. Your doctor will determine if medication is right for you. SSRIs do not help all patients, and they could interfere with other medications. Both of these conditions can cause you to laugh inappropriately. With Tourette Syndrome, you may experience the laughter as a tic, while Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) may cause you to laugh out of habit. Fortunately, you can learn to overcome these behaviors, though it is difficult. Cognitive-behavioral therapy can help you learn to recognize when you may laugh and learn to control it.
Summary: Talk to a therapist to address deeper issues. Ask if SSRIs may be a good option for you. Participate in cognitive-behavioral therapy if you have Tourette's or OCD.

Problem: Article: A hookless curtain is slipped over a ceiling shower rod. If you have a more modern style, a hookless curtain can reflect this. They provide a more seamless look and can cut down on cost as you do not have to invest money in shower rings. If your water pressure is very heavy, this can cause the shower curtain to fly away from the bathroom during a shower. To reverse this, consider investing in magnets or weights to hold the curtain down. You can find many weighted shower curtains to suit your needs in a department store or online. If you have a very large shower, you may need an extra wide curtain. This can cost a bit more money but will be worth it as it will more adequately protect your bathroom floor from moisture. Measure your shower before going out to purchase a shower curtain. This will help you determine whether you need an extra large curtain. You can also use 2 shower curtains for an extra long shower rod and part them in the middle.
Summary:
Try a hookless curtain. Think about weights and magnets. Opt for an extra wide curtain if necessary.
