Problem: Article: If your snow is too fluffy or powdery, you will not be able to make a snowman. Go out to the snow and scoop some up between both of your hands. Press it together, and if it forms into a ball, you'll be able to make a snowman. If the snow falls apart, it's no good for making a snowman. If you are determined, you can mix some water into the powdery snow as you roll it up, but this is not guaranteed to work. If you build your snowman on a slope, it may topple over. You also don't want to build on asphalt or cement because those store more heat, and your snowman might get in the way of you driving or walking. Make sure the area has enough snow for you to use, as well. If you want your snowman to last as long as possible without melting, build it somewhere that doesn't get much direct sunlight. If there's a big shady tree near you, that's a great spot. Making the snowman close to a building also provides shade for some of the day. This is just to help the snowman last longer. If you don't have much shade around, that's okay.
Summary: Check for snow that's moist and packable. Find a flat section of lawn. Build the snowman in the shade.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Go over what you're planning to say to your boyfriend with someone you trust. Or, you can simply practice by yourself in front of a mirror. Anticipate his reaction and prepare responses based on what you think he'll say. Practicing can help you avoid rambling or saying something you regret. Keep in mind that no matter how well you prepare, he still may react differently than you expect. Breakups are hard enough as it is. Once the conversation has started, there's no reason to drag it out any longer than necessary. Let your boyfriend know that you want to have a serious talk. You might start by saying something like: "I've been wanting to talk to you about something." "I've been thinking about our relationship and I've made a decision." Be sensitive but firm with him so that there's no room for interpretation. Don't leave things open-ended or give him false hope. It's often best to very literally state that you want to break up. For instance: "So, I want to break up." "I want to continue being your friend, but I don't want to be your girlfriend/boyfriend anymore." "I'm not happy in our relationship." Don't be vague or beat around the bush. It's best to tell him why your relationship isn't working in an honest and straightforward way. You might say: "I'm not ready for a serious boyfriend right now." "This doesn't feel right to me anymore. I'm not happy." "We argue more than we have fun together." "There's someone else." "I just don't have time for a relationship right now" is not a good thing to say if there are more pressing issues you broke up for. This can be seen as a way of leading him on. He may keep contacting you in hopes of getting back together. Even though you want to be very clear that you're breaking up with him, it's still best to explain that you're sorry if the situation hurts. Try to put yourself in his shoes and imagine how he might be feeling. You could say: "I'm sorry if this hurts to hear." "I'm sorry if this hurts you." "I know this may be difficult to hear and I'm sorry about that." More than likely, your ex will have some remarks after you do the deed. Be respectful and actively listen to what he has to say. Let him say what he needs to, but if he starts to beg or try to get you to change your mind, firmly restate your choice. Then, tell him you think it's time for you to leave. If he becomes rude or violent, say, "I don't feel safe, so I'm leaving." As you're leaving, call a friend and let them know what's happening. Wrap things up quickly, but try to end on a positive note. Try so say something that you honestly feel rather than just saying something to be nice or to make a quick getaway. You might say something like: "I'll always remember the special times we shared." "Whoever you go out with next will be lucky to have someone like you." "I know we'll always care about each other." "I'm so glad we got to know each other."

SUMMARY: Rehearse what you'll say beforehand. Get to the point. State clearly that you want to break up. Be straightforward about why you want to break up. Do not lie to make him feel better about himself. Tell him that you're sorry if this hurts. Hear him out. End the conversation with a kind or positive statement.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Start by running the dryer for 10 minutes. This can help loosen the ink and make it easier to remove. You can alternatively use a hairdryer to heat up the specific spot which is being affected. This may be easier and more efficient to do. Unplug the dryer to prevent accidents. The plug is usually located behind the machine. Test it to be sure that you have unplugged it correctly. Be sure to go quickly so that the drum is still warm when you're cleaning it. Buy some isopropyl alcohol from your local drugstore and apply the alcohol to a white, clean rag. You'll want to be sure that you get plenty of ventilation while you're working with the isopropyl alcohol. Work quickly to wipe off the ink using the alcohol soaked rag. Change rags frequently to keep from spreading the ink even more. Once you've removed as much of the product as you can, mix a bucket with soapy water. Use this water and a clean cloth to wipe down the inside of the drum. With the dryer rinsed out, run a load of old towels through a cycle in the dryer to remove any ink which might still remain.
Summary:
Warm the dryer. Unplug the dryer. Apply isopropyl alcohol to a rag. Wipe off the ink. Rinse the drum. Run a cycle with old towels.
