Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Leave her wanting more. Let her know you liked talking to her. Talk about when you'll get to talk to her again. Exit gracefully.

Answer: You shouldn't pull every trick out of your sleeve, tell the girl every little thing that makes you interesting, and ask her every possible question that will fascinate her all at once. That will leave you with little to talk about the next time you see her. Instead, find a way to "tease" the conversation so she wants to hear what you have to say and to keep talking the next time you're around. Here are some ways to do it: "Did I tell you about the time I met Dave Matthews at a Burger King? Oh man, I'll have to save that one for another day." "Acting sounds so fun. I want to hear all about how you're getting into the role of Lady Macbeth next time. Macbeth is like, my favorite Shakespeare play." "Eddie and I are going to try surfing for the first time tomorrow. It's supposed to be really windy, so I'll let you know if we survive." You don't have to tell the girl that you just had the time of your life talking to her -- even if you did! Just one short sentence that lets her know that you had a great conversation will make her feel special and will make her want to talk to you again. Here are some ways to do it: "It's been fun catching up. I can't believe what you told me about your sister." "I love talking to you about music. I always walk away with a new recommendation." "Looks like I lost track of time because I like talking about movies so much." The conversation doesn't have to end there. Right before you say goodbye, say something that lets her know that you're looking forward to talking again, even if you won't get to see her for a little while. This will make her feel special without feeling like she's being stalked. Here are some things you can say: "Good luck with that swim meet tomorrow. You'll have to tell me all about it soon." "I'll see you in Math tomorrow. Please come prepared with a joke because I'll need a good laugh after we get those tests back." "I love hearing your stories about your family. Maybe I'll get to hear more at Becky's party this weekend." Once you've closed down the conversation, let the girl know that you like talking to her, and mentioned a time when you'll potentially see each other again, you have nothing left to do but to smile, lift up a hand, say, "See you later," and then walk off into the sunset. Make your exit confidently and quickly instead of lingering around until you run out of things to talk about or keep shifting feet. Don't try too hard at the end. Just a simple, "I'll talk to you later," will get the point across. If you have a place to go, like English class or batting practice, tell her where you're going so she sees that you're busy and have a lot going on. Give the girl a big smile when you leave to make her comfortable. It doesn't have to be an intense, over-the-top smile. Just smile enough to let her see that you've had a good time.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consider getting comfortable with tampons. Wear a pad and spend your day reading and sunbathing. Try swimming without a pad.

Answer: A lot of women are intimidated by tampons before they first try them, but they're actually very comfortable, easy to wear, and convenient. Practice before you go to the beach (but while you are on your periodtrying to wear a tampon when you don't have your period can be painful and dangerous) so you're feeling confident by the time you hit the water. Remember: tampons cannot get lost in your body. If something happens and the string comes off, it's very easy to get the tampon out. Just make sure you don't wear your tampon longer than 8 hours and you will be totally fine. Some women do have difficulty inserting tampons because their hymen is too tight or the vaginal opening is too small. If you are not able to insert a tampon after several tries, see your physician. If you don't plan on swimming, you may be able to get away with a thin pad in your suit. Make sure it doesn't have wings, and check in the mirror to make sure it's not too bulky or visible through your suit. Wear a cute pair of shorts or a sarong around your waist, just in case your pad shows through your bathing suit. It's tricky, and you may end up bleeding in the water anyway, but if you can't wear a tampon and you're dying to get into the water, give this a try. When you're ready to swim, go to the bathroom to remove your pad. Slip on a pair of shorts and hustle back to the water. Slip out of your shorts and leave them on the sand, then quickly get into the water. It's not foolproof, but the water may stop your period while you are swimming, or make the flow so light no one will notice. When you get out, immediately slip your shorts back on, grab a fresh pad, and go to the bathroom to put it in your suit. The pad may have trouble adhering to the wet material, so you may just want to change into panties and keep your shorts on.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: See if he fidgets with his tie, socks, or buttons. Watch for him to stroke his hair, face, or facial hair. Look for big hand gestures when he's talking. Pay attention to any subtle touching.

Answer: These little grooming behaviors are good indicators that he's interested in you and he wants to look his best. He may tug at his socks, smooth out his lapels or tie, button and unbutton his jacket, or fidget with some other part of his attire. Take it as a good sign if he can't seem to stop messing with his clothes. If you notice him doing this, now might be a good time to pay him a compliment about his outfit. Try saying something like, "I love the color of that tie. It really brings out the green in your eyes." Along with frequently touching his clothing, he might also stroke his hair, mess it up, stroke his beard or moustache, or touch his face. He may not even be aware that he's doing this, but it's a good indication of his interest if he does. If you spot him doing these things, try paying him a compliment, such as by saying, "I love how you style your hair. It's so sleek!" Or, "Your beard is so luxurious! May I touch it, please?" Talking with hand gestures is often a sign of confidence, but it can also indicate interest in the person you're talking with. If he's making huge hand gestures, it's sort of like he's saying, "Look at me!" He may be doing this to ensure that you notice him. Try mirroring his hand gestures by using your hands when you talk as well, but only if you normally do this. Don't try using hand gestures if it doesn't come naturally to you. If he touches you in subtle ways, these can be even strong clues that he might be interested. It's unlikely that he'd touch you if he wasn't interested, so pay special attention to any contact he makes with you. Some subtle ways he might touch you include: Standing close to you so that his body brushes against yours Touching the small of your back or your arm Brushing your hair out of your eyes Reaching out to hold your hand

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Know how to identify a tick and its preferred environment. Gather the correct tools before you look for ticks. Make sure your pet is in calm and happy state. Search your dog for ticks. Use a comb if your dog's hair is very thick or curly.

Answer:
Ticks enjoy tall grass and low shrubs. Some ticks are very small almost flea sizedwhile others are much larger. Ticks are generally black or brown and oval in shape. Like spiders and scorpions, they belong to the group of arthropods called arachnids, and they have eight legs. You will need a pair of fine-tipped tweezers and a jar filled with alcohol. You will also want to have some disinfectant around such as a chlorhexidine solution (Nolvasan) or povidine iodine solution (Betadine) to clean the wound after removing the tick from your pet. If you live in an area where ticks are common, you may also want to get a device designed to remove ticks. These clever instruments looks like a spoon with a notch cut into the side and works great to remove ticks off people and pets. Though a common belief, you cannot actually kill ticks by flushing them down the toilet. The only way you can properly kill them is to put them in alcohol or spray them with flea and tick spray. Removing ticks isn't fun for your dog either. Give him his favorite toy to chew on and a treat or two (along with your love and affection) before you get started. You should check your canine friend for ticks whenever he has been somewhere that is known to have ticks (hiking trails, yards with tall grass, etc.) You should feel for small bumps with your hands and look for dark, circular bumps with your eyes. Begin your search on the top of your dog's back and move down each side towards his chest and belly. Be sure to search in and around his: Legs Between his toes and pads of his feet Under his legs (armpits), belly, chest, and tail On top of, inside, and under the ears Face and on the crown of the head Chin The front of the neck If you have a hard time going through your pet's hair, you might want to enlist the help of a fine-toothed comb to search your dog for ticks. If that doesn't seem to work, you can set a blowdryer on cool and use that to part your dog's hair. Just be aware that some dogs are afraid of hairdryers. You should use these instruments in addition to your hands since feeling the bumps is still the best method.
