Summarize the following:
It's in most people's nature to put off things they don't want to do. However, you should apologize sooner rather than later. If you wait, your guy is only going to get angrier or more hurt. Don't try to apologize when your guy is sitting down to a football game or reading a good book. Choose a time when he's not distracted by something else, and ask if you can talk. If he already knows what you've done, he probably can guess what the conversation will be about. If you need to confess, it might not be as easy for him to guess. That means that you convey with your tone and attitude that you are sincerely sorry for what you did. Don't try to laugh it away, or play it off with a joke. Look him in the eye, and with a serious tone, say you're sorry. For instance, you could say, "I'm truly, truly sorry about what I did." Also, you need to accept that what you did was wrong in the presence of your guy. That means naming what you did wrong to acknowledge that you know what you did. As an example, you could say, "I know that when I made a joke at your expense I hurt your feelings. I should've thought before I spoke. I know you're sensitive about that issue." Finally, you have to acknowledge how you could do better in the future. This part is how you start to make the situation better. You can't take back what you did, but you can talk about how you intend to change your behavior in the future. As the end of the apology, you could say, "Next time, I'll try to bite my tongue before I speak. You deserve better from me. I love and respect you, and I want to show you that with my actions." If this conversation is the first he's heard about it, he's probably going to be angry. Let him give voice to his anger, but don't try to offer a defense. He needs a chance to talk about it. Even if he did know about what you're apologizing about, he still needs a chance to talk about what he's feeling and why. Give him an opportunity to speak about why what you did hurt him. You can give him a space to talk by saying, "How do you feel about what I've said?" Finally, show that you understand what he's feeling. Show you are listening and that you understand why he's upset. One way you can show you're listening is by repeating back what he's said. That is, you can say, "What I hear you saying is that me making jokes like that makes you feel belittled and disrespected. I totally understand that, and you are totally valid in feeling that way."

summary: Don't put it off. Pick a good time. Show regret. Take responsibility. Talk about how you could do better. Let him respond. Acknowledge his feelings.

Summarize the following:
Any cheese still left at the bottom of the pot should be loose and easy to rub off with a soft sponge. If any chocolate or caramel residue is being particularly stubborn, rub it gently with a stainless steel scrubber while running it under water. If the rounded edge isn't sharp enough to slough off the chocolate or caramel, try using the edge of a square wood block. This will allow you to scrape off the residue without scratching the surface. Rinse the fondue pot and sponge one last time, then dry it thoroughly with a towel.

summary: Scrub at any remaining cheese or chocolate with a non-abrasive sponge. Use a steel scrubber on remaining stains on a stainless steel pot. Scrape at chocolate stains on a ceramic pot with a wooden spoon. Dry the pot with a dish towel.

Summarize the following:
When someone is choking, they'll lose the ability to speak because air can't get through. Therefore, if you ask your toddler a question and she can't reply, she may be choking. You may notice that he's having trouble drawing breaths. He may also be making weird noises when he's breathing, such as a high-pitched noise when drawing in a breath. Your toddler may be trying to cough up what's in her throat and failing. Therefore, the cough will be weak. A heavy cough likely indicates that enough air is getting through that she's not choking. Toddlers who aren't breathing may start turning blue around the edges. For instance, you may notice bluish or dusky tinges on her fingernails, lips, or skin. However, be aware that children and toddlers compensate much better than adults and may not turn blue as fast as an adult would. If the child is able to speak or breathe well, don't start Heimlich. The same goes if the child is able to cough hard. However, be watching to make sure the symptoms don't suddenly worsen. Choking can cause a toddler to pass out. See if he can look at you when you talk by asking him a question. You'll likely need this information when you call 911. You'll also need to move on to the steps for an unconscious choking toddler if he's not conscious. You can also lightly flick the bottom of a toddler's foot to check for consciousness. If you are not alone with the child, ask someone to call 911. If you are, you should try the Heimlich maneuver before calling 911. If a parent is present, quickly ask for consent. Seconds count when saving a life. If a parent is not present, Good Samaritan laws in your state should cover any action you take in good faith to save the child's life.
summary: See if your toddler can speak. Look to see if the toddler is having trouble breathing. Look for weak coughing. Check for blue tinges. Avoid intervening if the child is able to speak. See if the toddler is conscious. Ask someone to call 911. Ask for consent.
