If you're discovered awake, say that you're just going to the bathroom or are getting a glass of water. Another plausible excuse is "I couldn't sleep." Try saying you had a bad dream and needed to distract yourself for a few minutes. You could also say you thought you heard a noise downstairs and wanted to make sure everything was okay. If you have a sibling or a friend spending the night, ask them to join you to make the night more fun. Just be sure your sibling won't tell on you the next day. Make it clear that if they keep it a secret, you two can do this again sometime. Keep your voices down to a whisper as you move around the house, and try not to make each other laugh. Let the dog or cat join you too if you know they'll be quiet. If the dog will bark, you may need to stay inside your room all night. Take slow, soft steps on the balls of your feet if you're going to leave your room. Avoid any of the areas you determined could have a creaky floorboard. And turn doorknobs slowly to avoid any loud clicks. If you want to watch TV while you're up, turn it on and then immediately hold down the button to decrease the volume. You never know how loud it was when it was turned off. Keep it as low as possible so that even if your parents get up to go to the bathroom, they might not hear it. If you have a TV in your room, be sure to place a blanket or towel at the base of your door. This will block any light from the TV from leaking out into the hallway. Try to go to the bathroom as infrequently as possible in order to cut down on noise. Limiting your beverage intake will help with this. Also consider not flushing the toilet until the morning, right before you hop back into bed. Once it's time to wake up, revert your room to its normal mode. Hide your snacks in the closet, and slide into bed. Pretend that you're sleeping when your alarm clock rings or your parents come to wake you up.

One-sentence summary -- Think of a good excuse if your parents catch you awake. Invite a friend or sibling you trust. Move slowly. Turn down the TV volume. Limit your bathroom trips. Keep your eye on the clock.

Used boats are cheaper than new boats, but can still become prohibitively expensive. Once you've determined 1 or 2 models of boat you're interested at, look online to see how much these styles of boats typically sell for in used condition. Also look at your personal finances and see how much you can afford to spend on the boat. This is also the time to meet with a banker if you're looking to finance the purchase of the used boat. Used boats can easily top $25,000 USD, so you may want to take out a sizeable loan. When negotiating the terms of the loan, set up the monthly payments for an amount you can afford. Before going to check out individual used boats for sale, read some online reviews. These will allow you to get a sense of which boat makes, models, and styles are popular choices for used-boat buyers, and which you should avoid buying. Narrow the type of boat you want down to 1 or 2 models. There are a variety of reputable online boat magazines that feature reviews of popular new and used boat types and brands. Check out boat reviews in publications like http://www.boattrader.com, http://www.boats.com, and http://www.yachtworld.com. The best way to find a viable used boat is through online boat-sale forums and websites. Boat Trader and Boats.com will allow you to input specific criteria to narrow down the used-boat search results. Specify the condition of the boat, as well as the desired type, manufacturer, length, and location. Contact the boat's owner, and make sure that the owner will be with the boat when you come by to inspect the boat at the marina where it's stored. Coordinate a time and date that works with both you and the owner. Make sure that you have a boating license before buying a boat. You can get fined and/or taken into custody without one.

In particular, there is a sound reason they didn't make it into your future, and that is a lack of compatibility. You can't force the other person to feel the same way. And, if this person hurt you, they're not worthy of you from that point onward. Anything that you contributed or were told contributed to the breakup is water under the bridge. If the person really cared to make a go of things, they'd have been ready to work through any such issues. These things become convenient excuses rather than an accurate assessment of who you are or your self worth. You can certainly learn lessons from mistakes you made but there's no need to beat yourself up over itlearn and improve for the next time. Sometimes the relationship you need to fix /rescue is with yourself, not the person who left you. Even if it wasn't your fault (and seriously, talking about "fault" is unhelpful in personal relations), you need to take time out to find yourself again and be confident with yourself. Don't start thinking about being friends with your ex right awayif ever. You have to be your own friend first. Grief is a process to go through, not a destination to wallow in. In this process it's a little bit like dancing, putting one foot in front of the other, learning anew; each step you take is a part of your healing. Allow time to unfold and embrace your healing process. Don't be hard on yourself. Your feelings are normal, while suppressing them is not. Let the feelings out as needed, and respect that healing requires the range of emotions, rather than a stiff upper lip. You deserve tender loving care and support. Talk to people who can help you. Talk to friends, family, or even close co-workers. Most have probably gone through the same thing and can help. Express your feelings. Sometimes you need to express your feelings of anger, pain, sadness and grief. Don't be shy to cry or talk about the way you feel about the situation. Take your dog for a walk, go see your far away relatives, go take a tour of the White House, go shopping. Do things you love that will keep you busy so you don't have time to think of the person who hurt you. Rearrange your furniture. Especially if you had an intimate relationship, rearrange your bedroom. Wash your sheets, get a new couch. You'll be distracted by moving everything, and when it's all done, your house will look fresh, and it won't look the same as when the person who hurt you was there. Listen to good breakup songs. For example: Picture to Burn-Taylor Swift, I Will Survive-Gloria Gaynor. Go to the spa, indulge in a new purchase, indulge once or twice to remember you're still important and you don't need a that person, you're doing fine by yourself. Flirting and partying are a good way to help you get off your feet, meet some new people, have a good time at the party/club, and getting ready are all fun ways to help keep you distracted. It is vital to put the pain away and move on with your life and love. It might be hard but it's worth it. Otherwise, you are giving away your power to the people who hurt you.
