Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Start cooking the day before Thanksgiving. Set your table. Buy some flowers. Clean your house.

Answer: This is particularly important if you are planning on baking pie(s). This is also a good time to make sure you have all the supplies and ingredients you will need--turkeys and pumpkin pie filling will be hard to find once the holiday arrives! If you decide to cook everything the day of, make a plan as to what will go in the oven when. Most of the traditional Thanksgiving dishes get baked in the oven, so you will need to plan a coordinated attack. Find out which recipes take longer to cook and put them in first. While your guests won't be arriving until the next day, it is still extremely helpful to set your table the day before. Make your dining table as long as possible (time to break out that additional piece) or bring in an extra table if you simply can't fit everyone at one table. Bring in all the chairs and place all the plates, napkins, cutlery, etc. on the table, spacing each setting out so that the guests won't be bumping elbows every time they go to lift a delicious bite to their lips. If you happen to know which of your guests are right handed vs. left handed, keep that in mind when setting the table. Placing a rightie next to a leftie will result in two guests smacking their elbows together all dinner long. While this is not necessary, having flowers in the house is always a nice touch. Its important to buy them the day before your dinner because if you buy them before then, they might wilt. Pick out bouquets that are fall-themed for an extra lovely touch. No one likes to be invited to a messy house, so tidy up the day before and make sure everything you won't need for the dinner is stored away. If you are short on time and need help with cleaning, get a family member or hire a cleaning service to assist.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Let your hair dry. Unwrap each curl. Style your curls with your fingers.

Answer: You can create your paper bag curls before you go to sleep, and let them dry overnight. If you're going to be lounging around the house, you can also certainly put your curlers in in the morning and let them dry throughout the day. The most important thing is that your hair is completely dry before removing the strips. If you're in a rush, you can run a blow dryer over your curlers. Keep your blow dryer on low or medium heat, and make sure to apply a heat protectant to your hair if you plan to do this. Once you've felt your curls and determined your hair is completely dry, it's time to untie your paper bags. Gently undo each knot and slowly unravel your rolled hair. Do this for your entire head. When you think you've untied them all, run your hands through your hair to ensure there isn't any paper left in your hair. Keep a recycling bin near by so you can toss your paper strips into it as you remove them. Don't brush your curls out, because you'll undo the structure of each curl and create a frizzy mess. Instead, gently run your hands through your hair, playing with your curls until you've smoothed and tamed them to your satisfaction. If you like, you can spritz a little bit of hairspray on your curls to ensure they hold up for the entire day. Your curls may be tight when you first remove the paper bags, but over time they will loosen and fall into looser, softer curls.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be consistent. Try to spend quality time with your child every day. Show that you value your own well-being. Set appropriate rules and boundaries. Be there for them when they're struggling. Focus on negative behavior, rather than saying the child is bad.

Answer: Being consistent means that the expectations and rules that are set should be the same from day to day, and place to place. Consistency gives a child a sense of well-being, safety, and security. It teaches a child accountability for their actions, and helps provide a safe boundary for exploration. If you're inconsistent, you're giving a child the information that their needs are not important to you. Having regular daily routines at home will help provide a better sense of security for your child. If these routines are based in your child's needs, they'll better understand that they are valued. It helps to get into a routine (for example, taking a half hour walk every day after your child comes home from school). This can help ensure that you spend time with them. Set aside blocks of time where you can be with your child. If you're really busy one day and don't spend much time with them, make up for it by spending more time with them on a later day. Modeling self-care for a child is an important aspect of teaching a child what it means to be valued. Taking care of your health, hygiene, psychological and emotional needs are all part of what it means to care for your own well-being. Don't remain in situations where you're abused, neglected or mistreated. Take time for yourself when you need it. You don't have to be constantly available at the whims of your child. If you really need some quiet time, say so, and set up the child with something they can do independently. If you need help understanding more about self-care, ask for help from a friend or professional. For a child to feel valued, they must also feel safe. Safety comes from adults having good, healthy boundaries. The adult is responsible for providing structure and support. This doesn't mean that you can't have fun with your child. However, you must be prepared to interrupt a fun game in order to ensure that the child's safety needs are met. Consider your child's individual personality. Some children need more structure to feel safe than other children. It's important to meet the needs of your particular child. If your child is upset, respond with empathy and patience, not judgment. Ask what's wrong, and work together on brainstorming ways to make things better. Be gentle and firm about rules. For example, "I know you want the purple car. The rule we set is that you can pick out one toy, and you already chose the pink car. It's your choice which car you get." You can empathize with the child while still expecting them to adhere to the rules. Let your child know that even if their behavior is unacceptable in a given situation, you still care about and love them no matter what. Everyone makes mistakes, wrong decisions, and errors in judgment. If your child is learning that they're valued, they'll be learning to make this distinction as well. Reminding them that they will have other opportunities to make better choices is one way of encouraging them to learn. If your child repeatedly engages in the same negative behavior, consider what response you are providing. If you tend to engage more frequently with your child regarding negative behaviors, they may be acting out in search of your attention.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make your enthusiasm contagious. Don't treat her like she's an object. Don't pressure her romantically. Stay in shape and pay attention to your grooming. Know when to give her space. Find ways to make her laugh. Learn how to fight. Show her physical affection from time to time.

Answer:
Everyone loves to be around a positive person. Your demeanor and how you carry yourself can affect how happy she is both with and without you. Show that you're genuinely glad to see her. If your usual first reaction isn't a smile, there may be something wrong with the relationship. Consider hugging her or kissing her when you see her after a long day. If you're just having a bad day, put it aside and grin. Make a self-deprecating joke about how you always seem to attract trouble. Put a smile on your face and be done with it. Laugh at her jokes; everyone likes to think that they're funny. If they're not funny and you're not good at faking, just smile; a fake laugh is much worse than no laugh at all. She's not a maid or a cleaning service; she's not your personal cook; she's not there to simply to satisfy all your carnal desires. Don't do things that might make her feel any of these things. Don't smack her on the butt. Look at her when you're talking to her. If she feels like a person instead of a thing that exists solely for your pleasure, she'll be much more likely to be happy with you. There's nothing sexy about reluctant sex. Honestly, you'll get a lot more sex, and better sex, if she's just as ready as you are. If she seems hesitant, back off even if she doesn't say anything. She may need more time to feel comfortable. Don't put out the wrong vibes. If she senses that you're impatient, she may grow distant or worse yet, do something she regrets. Remember that no means no. Even if you've been together for years, it's her body and she's under no obligation to share it with you. If she's an abuse survivor or something along those lines, that's a different situation entirely. Get her to talk to someone if she's not already. If you expect your girl to look like a Victoria's Secret model, how do you think she expects you to look? It's a double standard to expect girls to look great but to let your own grooming, hygiene, and exercise regimes to slip. Shave every day, unless your girl likes a man with a beard. If you happen to have a beard, trim it regularly and keep it looking under, not out of, control. Buy some semi-expensive gym clothes. If you buy gym clothes, you'll feel obligated to work out. If you feel obligated to work out, you won't skip out on your gym membership after school or at work. Smelling odorless is better than smelling like you just stepped out of an Axe commercial. Girls like guys who smell subtly good. So don't drench yourself in cologne. Only use so much that she'll be enticed to get closer to you in order to catch a whiff. Women are just as turned off by neediness as men. Learn to give her a little space once in a while, even if it means letting her hang out with other guys. Trust in her and she'll want to live up to your trust. Have a life of your own. A confident, independent person will never lack admirers. Don't force-feed a budding relationship with too much affection. This is unhealthy and will raise red flags. It all depends on your own sense of humor and what she thinks is funny, but humor is routinely one of the most attractive things women look for in men. Whether it's jokingly poking fun of her ruthlessness, or reliving a joke you had when you were on spring break, humor is the lifeblood of happiness for both guys and girls. Don't forget that making fun of yourself in a joking way is another great way to get her to laugh. Knowing how to keep your head in a fight will make it productive instead of destructive. And as much as you may want to avoid confrontation, it's far healthier to fight than to sweep things under the mat. Remember that if you really messed up, you might want to plan a special date to apologize. Don't just change the subject when a fight is brewing. Forcing the conversation elsewhere will just create resentment. If she's really mad, give her a cooling period, then offer to work it out. Never forget to come back to the argument later or you will come off as evasive and/or uninterested. Admit when you're wrong. Without humility, you will never learn from your mistakes. Don't use an apology as a tool for ending an argument. This is manipulative and unproductive. Physical affection is just as important as verbal affection; it's just a different breed. While being careful to give your girl enough space and not appear clingy, it's important to physically show her how much you care for her. Here are some things that you can do: Come up and slowly kiss the back of her neck while hugging her from behind. This soft, sensuous kiss is sure to get her excited and remind her of the sweet things you can do. Nothing says "I like you" quite like a good foot massage or back massage. Learn how to give good ones and you'll never need another way to apologize! Try a six-second kiss. A six-second kiss is a passionate way to help make your love last. Couples who regularly kiss for six seconds or longer last longer than those who don't.
