Q: Pour white vinegar into a bowl or container. Wet a soft-bristled toothbrush in the vinegar. Rub the zipper gently but thoroughly with the toothbrush, on both sides of the zipper. You can use cola or lemon juice. Dip a toothbrush or cotton swab into the liquid and apply it to the zipper. Let it sit for a couple of minutes. Make sure to wash the area completely with water afterwards. The phosphoric acid in cola breaks down and combats corrosion. Lemon juice contains the cleansing agent citric acid. Use a container of white vinegar or a vinegar and water solution. Add a small amount of baking soda (a sprinkle). Try to submerge only the zipper itself, if possible. If not, make sure that the material surrounding the zipper won't be damaged by soaking it in vinegar. Either look it up or try soaking a test piece of material first. If you're having a salt encrustation issue with scuba gear, take off any parts you can that are not connected to the suit such as hooks, swivels, etc. Depending on how the zipper is mounted on your bag, you may be able to simply submerge the zipper and not the rest of the suit. There are various products, for example using silicone or wax, which are specifically designed for loosening stuck zippers. You can find these online, at marine supply stores, and at some auto parts stores. Typically the products are either in tubes or sold as sprays. Follow the instructions of the lubricant product. Some lubricants are applied to all parts of the zipper, whereas others are for the outer teeth only. Apply the lubricant at room temperature. Use the zipper slider a few times to fully distribute the lubricant. Wipe off any excess lubricant.
A: Use a soft toothbrush and vinegar. Try alternatives to vinegar. Soak the zipper in vinegar and baking soda overnight. Use a lubricant made for zippers.

Q: " This means "beautiful woman" in Spanish. To say "beautiful girl," you would say "nina hermosa." The phrase is pronounced "ehr-moh-sah moo-hehr." In Spanish, the "h" is not pronounced like an English hard "h." The ending "hehr" does not have a hard "r" sound like it would in English. Nina is pronounced "nee-nyah." Another way to say this phrase, especially in Spain, is "eres hermosa," which means "you're very beautiful." You can also say "eres preciosa" for "you're beautiful" or "eres atractiva," for "you're good looking." Eres is pronounced "eh-rehs" with a long "a" sound. " This also means "you're beautiful" in Spanish. Another way to say this is "estas hermosa." If you want to really emphasize it, say "you are so beautiful" by saying "eres muy hermosa" or "estas muy hermosa." It's pronounced "es-tas bay-ah." The "ll" in Spanish does not have a hard "L" sound like it would in English. That's the key to not mispronouncing the word "bella," which, literally, means "beautiful." To say "hello beautiful lady," you would say, "hola senora Hermosa." This phrase is pronounced "oh-lah seh-neeoh-rah er-moh-sa" and would be used toward an older woman. They can be very different from English. For example, the "h" is silent in Spanish. The Internet allows you to listen to audio pronunciation of Spanish. This can be the best way to practice the sounds of Spanish so that people will know what you are talking about. Trill your "Rs." Say the English word "butter." That will give you a good start about how your mouth should be positioned to roll or trill an R. Put the tip of your tongue behind the top row of your teeth against the ridge of your mouth.This is called the "alveolar."Then, vibrate your tongue against that ridge.
A: Say "hermosa mujer. Say "estas bella" or "eres bella. Study pronunciation of Spanish consonants and vowels.

Q: If you've got heated feelings left over from a disagreement with your friend, wait until you're calmer before you extend an olive branch. Your words won't feel genuine unless you really are sincere about wanting to patch things up. Your friend might also benefit from some time to cool down, but don't wait for her to reach out to you. If you're prepared to let bygones be bygones, give her a call. Take the time to consider your friend's perspective and why she might be hurt. Thinking about the reasons she might be angry or hurt will help you have a more open conversation. If you've considered the disagreement from your friend's perspective, your own actions might seem different than they did at the time. You might realize that you acted in a way that was unnecessarily hurtful or dismissive. Even if your friend also behaved badly, this shouldn't keep you from taking a careful look at your own part in the disagreement. No matter what she did, you're still responsible for your own words and actions. Think ahead of time what you plan to apologize for, being as specific as you can. When you have a talk with your friend, you'll want her to know that you're prepared to completely let go of the negative feelings that came up during the disagreement. Disagreements are natural among friends, but they don't have to mean the end of the friendship. Be prepared to say everything you need to say, but keep it in a polite, friendly tone. Allow your friend to say whatever she needs to say. Listen carefully to what she says, and don't interrupt her while she's talking. Thank your friend for taking the time to talk to you even if it doesn't go the way you'd have preferred. Regardless of how your friend responds to your overtures, it's best if you can try to completely forgive your friend for any hurts you still may feel. Reliving the disagreement, reminding yourself how right you were (and how wrong she was) won't help either of you. Know that sometimes a friendship can tolerate the disagreement, and sometimes it can't. Keep an open mind as you work to repair the friendship, and hopefully your friend will come around in time. If your friend's behavior is consistently unpredictable, erratic or volatile, you might not be able to repair the friendship. Instead, focus on finding solutions for your disagreement. Political views are deeply personal to people, and you won't be able to find a solution by trying to force agreement. Instead, try reminding each other of what you value in your friendship. If your disagreement was about different political viewpoints, one way of resolving the differences is to focus on what you have in common. At the same time, don't feel like you have to back away from your own political views. Be open and honest about your views without feeling pressured to relive the disagreement with your friend. Sometimes a friendship may need a break. During political campaigns, or when feelings are running high surrounding particular political issues, you may not be able to repair a broken friendship. Realize that you and your friend may make up your differences in the future, and stay open to reconciliation if possible. Don't do or say anything to remove the possibility of eventual repair. Agreeing to go your separate ways for now doesn't have to be a permanent break. Don't beat yourself up for having had this disagreement.
A:
Allow some time to cool down. Consider whether you need to apologize. Don't hold onto resentments. Forgive your friend. Don't focus on what caused the fight. Take a break.
