Q: Typically, trash talking involves boasting about your own excellence in whatever competitive event you're engaged in. Be creative and make up boastswhether funny or seriousabout your skill. Say something like, "You're already yesterday's news." Be prepared to back up your words with actions. If you're playing basketball and claim to be able to make a shot from half court, you'll need to prove that you can make the shot. Don't be immature or boast about skills you don't have. For example, young teens are notorious for filling online gaming forums with juvenile humor and over-the-top boasts. To effectively talk trash, avoid these techniques. This is often done in a light-hearted way, or in a clever manner than uses jokes and creative criticism. You can use intimidation to make your opponent doubt their own skill at a game, or sufficiently distract them with your trash talk so they can no longer focus on the competition. For example, if you're playing a competitive game of golf, try saying: "I've seen better swings at my kid's school playground." If your opponent hits their ball into water, say, "Want me to hold your shoes and socks?" Successful trash talk often builds off of a funny premise. Humor can also be used to distract your opponents (no one plays well when they're laughing) or to build up the comradery of your own team. A quick-witted insult can surprise your opponent and leave them stunned. Say something like, "If you ever even dream of beating me, you'd better wake up and apologize." If you feel that your trash talking is ineffective, it's probably a good idea to stop. If you continue trash talking, you may start to look desperate or give the impression that you're more skilled at running your mouth than at winning competitions.
A: Boast about your skills. Insult your opponents. Use humor to your advantage. Know when trash talk isn't working.

Q: Once you have written a draft of your eulogy, print out a copy and read it through. As you read, look for moments to expand on content and provide more details when necessary. Ask yourself whether your eulogy makes sense. Do your stories illustrate your theme? Do you feel like anything is missing? Is there a story you should have included or an aspect of your father's personality you could have explored more? Is there anything that feels like it doesn't belong? Add to your eulogy as needed. If you feel like there's room for expansion, expand as needed. You can also cut anything out that you feel like does not add to the theme. Time is an issue. The average eulogy should only last 5 to 7 minutes. When delivering your eulogy, it can help to have a portion memorized. This can make the delivery go smoother. You do not need to memorize the entire eulogy. You should keep some notes during delivery, as you may be nervous or emotional when delivering the speech. If you want to memorize the whole speech, memorize small chunks one at a time. It can be daunting to remember everything. You should write down notes with reminders on them. This will help you stay on track as you deliver your speech. You should practice your eulogy several times in the days leading to the funeral. Read it out loud to yourself, or before a mirror. Focus on moments where you stumble, and practice those portions more. You can ask a friend or family member to listen to you practice. They can give you feedback on how to make your delivery smoother. It is never easy to write a eulogy, and it can be particularly trying if you're writing a eulogy for your father. As you work on your eulogy, try to stay strong emotionally. Reach out to others. Your existing relationships are important during grief. Lean on friends and family members during your weak moments. Try to work on reframing your sense of identity. Losing a parent can make you feel you've lost a source of personal guidance. Try to think about who you are without your father, and how you can move forward. Stay in the present. Remember, the present is where your life is occurring right now. Be grateful for what you do have. Try to be thankful for life each day, and live it to the fullest despite your loss.
A: Edit your eulogy and add more information as needed. Memorize part of the eulogy. Practice your eulogy regularly. Stay strong emotionally.

Q: There are many methods to determine the right time to harvest your plant. Basically, you want to harvest when 50-75% of the white pistils/hairs have turned amber/brown. Another way to tell is when the trichomes (also known as crystals or resin glands) are either all white/milky or half white and half amber. Harvesting earlier will give a more thoughtful or in-your-head marijuana experience while harvesting later will give you a heavier or more relaxing marijuana experience. You will want to experiment to find what harvest time is the best for you. Leaves will make your final smoke a lot more harsh and don't contain much THC, so you don't want them in your final product. You can still use them to make hash, butter, or Green Dragon. " Open the jar once a day to get some air ventilation and make sure you release any moisture. Moisture is your enemy when curing and will cause mold, so make sure your buds are properly dried before curing them.
A: Harvest your plants when they're ready by cutting down the whole plant or cutting off pieces of buds at a time. Trim your plant so that there aren't any leaves sticking out from the buds. Hang your trimmed buds upside down in a cool, dark place and let them dry until the buds snap off cleanly (as opposed to just bending) when you put pressure on them. Place the buds in an air-tight container and leave them in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks to a month or more to "cure.

Q: If possible, take off extra layers of clothing. Lightweight fabrics like silk, chiffon, thin cotton, and linen are the best choices for extreme heat. In addition, try to wear white and other light colors, which can help beat the heat by reflecting sunlight. If you can't get to an air conditioner or an electric fan, fanning yourself by hand can help lower your temperature. The key is to use a fan (or an improvised object) with a broad surface area and to avoid fanning yourself too vigorously. If your fanning motions are too fast, they'll get your blood pumping and make you hotter. Gentle motions can help the sweat on your skin evaporate, which helps lower your temperature. Dampening your skin with cool water while fanning yourself is also helpful. Try sitting comfortably and taking slow, deep breaths. As you inhale, count to 4, then hold your breath as you count to 7, and exhale for an 8 count. Do your controlled breathing exercises for at least 10 to 15 minutes to reduce your heart rate and lower your core temperature. If it helps, put on some relaxing music or recordings of soothing nature sounds, like crashing waves or humpback whale songs. You could also give meditation a try. You can find guided meditations for relaxation on YouTube and other services. Relaxation techniques can help you cool off if you're experiencing hot flashes. Fill a small basin with cold water and ice, then place your feet inside. Soak them for 15 minutes at a time to prevent ice burns. Add ice or refill the basin with cold water when it starts to get warm. If you want to reduce a fever, a lukewarm bath is better than a cold bath. Submerging yourself in cold water can cause shivering, which can increase your body temperature. If you don't have access to a tub, try using a damp sponge, washcloth, or sheet. Having a fan blowing on you while you bathe or sponge yourself can also be effective.
A:
Wear loose, lightweight, and light-colored clothing to stay cool. Fan yourself with long, gentle motions. Try relaxation techniques to help lower your core temperature. Soak your feet in cold water to cool your body down. Take a tepid bath or sponge bath to lower your body temperature.
