Problem: Article: Various flour types can be used to flour the pan, but the rule of thumb is to use the flour that the recipe called for. This way you won't be altering the taste or composition of the batter. Flour is tasteless, but it can leave a white residue on baked goods, especially if they are chocolate ones. For chocolate cakes, muffins, or any baked good that has cocoa powder in it, set aside some cocoa powder in place of flour.
Summary: Set aside some flour that is already used in your recipe. Choose cocoa powder instead of flour for chocolate baked goods.

Problem: Article: It can be easy for the bottles and small items inside your bathroom cabinets to get disorganized and tough to reach. Place a lazy susan towards the front of the cabinet where it is easily accessible. Set your extra shampoos, conditioners, lotions, or other products on it. The cords of blowdryers and curling irons can become a real problem under your cabinets and can knock over your toiletry items. You can buy a metal styling tool holder at a home goods store that will hang on the inside of your lower cabinet. In the lower bathroom cabinets, secure drawers that will slide out when pulled. You can purchase these wooden, plastic, or metal drawers in the kitchen or bathroom remodeling sections of home renovation stores. Most of them will screw right into the existing cabinetry. Check to make sure that the drawers pull out smoothly. If they jostle or if you have to tug them, then the contents standing inside will likely fall over and cause a mess. You don't have to waste the space under a pedestal sink. Instead, get a premade organizer that will fit around the bottom part of your sink from a home improvement store. These organizers usually just slide into place against the wall with a few mounting brackets to hold it steady. Your drawers can get messy really quickly, as items shift around every time you pull them out. To keep everything in position, invest in a set of plastic organizers that fit tightly into the drawers. Ideally, find containers with both large and small openings to hold a variety of items. For example, you can put hair ties, cotton swabs, flossers, and other small items into the bins. Your goal when organizing your bathroom should be to store as many items as possible in hidden cabinets and compartments. This will make your bathroom feel less crowded and more spacious. The key is to rely on a combination of both cabinets and shelving. Even storing the wastebasket in a cabinet can make the floor of your bathroom look larger and cleaner.
Summary: Put a lazy susan in the cabinet. Install a styling tool holder inside your cabinet. Install under-the-sink sliding drawers if you have deep cabinets. Install an under-the-sink organizer if you have a pedestal sink. Divide your drawers with plastic bins. Keep everything hidden.

Problem: Article: Some people think that if they ignore the mental illness, it will go away. No one in the family should ignore your husband's bipolar. Your husband should not ignore his mental illness by refusing to accept it or getting treatment. You should not ignore it and pretend that your husband is okay. This can lead to problems later. If you have to, grieve for the fact that your husband has bipolar. Grieving may be part of the acceptance and coping process. Dealing with a bipolar husband can be difficult, so give your time to adjust to the new challenge in your life. Though you may have to make adjustments and sacrifices because your husband has bipolar, that does not mean that your life should be only about your husband. You should not live for him. You should be your own person, with your own interests and your own life. Pursue hobbies, your career, and personal goals. Don't sacrifice yourself. Remember that you are a human being who deserves a good life. You deserve to take care of yourself in addition to your husband. Having your life revolve only around your husband can cause a lot of problems for both of you. When your husband deals with bipolar disorder, you may feel uncomfortable reaching out for support because you are afraid you and your husband will be judged. However, you should seek support from trusted family members or friends. Finding people you trust can help relieve the burden on both of your shoulders. If you don't want to turn to people you know, you can try to find a support group in your community. This can provide a safe space for you to talk about being married to a bipolar husband without the fear of any negative response.
Summary: Refrain from ignoring the problem. Refrain from living your life for your husband. Find a support network.

Problem: Article: Skunks are scavengers, so they'll eat anything nutritious they can find. If you have trees that produce nuts, berries, crabapples, or other fruits, clean them up by raking your yard as often as necessary. Other vegetation, like piles of grass clippings, should also be discarded, since it may contain seeds or other sources of food for skunks. If you have a garden, harvest ripe fruit and vegetables as soon as you can, to prevent a hungry skunk from feasting on them. Use a tray under your bird feeder to catch most of the seeds, and clean up stray seeds dropped by birds often. Similarly to raccoons and other stray animals, skunks can survive on garbage alone. It's important to keep your trash cans properly sealed. Sometimes regular garbage cans simply won't do. To defend against scavenging animals, you can buy locking garbage cans at a fairly cheap price at your local home improvement store. If possible, store your trash bins in a shed or in your garage at night, so their smell doesn't attract skunks. Use an enclosed compost bin, since skunks like to eat old fruit and vegetable peels, eggshells, and other items that you may be composting. Skunks like to make their homes under decks, porches, and in other sheltered areas. Close off spaces that may be appealing to skunks using rocks, fencing, or plywood. Log piles and piles of lumber or building materials can serve as shelters for skunks. Store the materials in a shed or bin to prevent skunks from moving in. Large bushes are also good shelters for skunks. If you see skunks hanging out in bushes or low vegetation, you might want to trim back the branches so it's not quite as appealing.
Summary:
Remove nuts, berries, and other natural food sources. Protect your waste. Close off hiding places.
