Q: You can roll this device over the surface of your furniture to pick up dog hair. You can find a lint roller at any drug or grocery store. You can use a lint roller on furniture, clothing, and even your dog itself. The adhesive isn't strong enough to harm skin, furniture, or clothes. Flatten a section of sticky tape against the furniture, let it sit for a few moments, and peel it away to remove stubborn dog hairs. Use broad sections of tape to make the process go more quickly. Duct tape and masking tape are good choices. You may have to do this many times to get all the hair off. Consider making yourself a makeshift lint roller using tape, preferably masking or duct tape. Rip off a generous piece of tape and put it around your hand so that the sticky side is facing out. Then pat the furniture where the hair is so that the hair comes off with the tape. You may have use several pieces of tape depending on how much hair there is. Be careful using duct tape (and other especially strong types of tape) on furniture that is coated in paint or another thin veneer. If you do use duct tape, don't leave it on for more than a few seconds. Strong adhesives might peel away paint from your furniture. Removing pet hair from any cloth surface is easy if you use a damp washcloth. Wipe cushions or clothing in one direction only and the hair will lift off. You can also try a damp sponge mop to remove pet hair from your carpets. Again, wipe in one direction only, and the hair will pile up and can be easily picked up by hand. Use the detachable hose of a vacuum-cleaner, use a small handheld vacuum, or lift a vacuum onto the surface of a couch or chair. Depending on the type of furniture, vacuuming may or may not work. To make it easier to vacuum your furniture, use a window squeegee to collect most of the fur in one spot. Simply run the squeegee over the furniture in the same way you would a window. Push all of the fur into one spot on the couch, then vacuum it up. If there is a very large amount of fur, don't vacuum it. This may clog up the vacuum or even damage it. Consider using a shampoo vacuum cleaner for fabrics. Make sure that your pet shampoo product is safe to use on furniture. In the future, consider brushing your dog more frequently or covering your dog's favorite furniture with blankets in order to prevent excessive shedding. For just a few clingy hairs, try using an old toothbrush. Dog hair is hard to clean out from between brush bristles, so do not use a toothbrush that you plan to use for anything else. For an easier option, look for a fur removal brush, which is larger than a toothbrush. It's specially designed to collect loose fur. You can find a fur removal brush at your local pet store or online. Static electricity and low humidity make already annoying pet hair that much worse. Mitigate these two factors, and fur will remain more friend than foe. Wear a pair of disposable rubber gloves, and dampen them with water so the hair will stick. Run your hand over the surface to attract hair. Simply rinse off the glove when it's covered with hair, and repeat as needed. If you don't have rubber gloves handy, try a slightly wet sponge instead. This method doesn't use up lots of tape needlessly. As another option, use a pet grooming or deshedding glove, if you have one. These gloves are very effective for collecting fur. You can also spray a mix of water and fabric softener onto your upholstered furniture, then wipe the hair off. To remove pet hair from wooden furniture, use a soft cloth and furniture polish or anti-static dusting spray. The spray will eliminate the electric charge, making removal easier and lessening the likelihood that the hair will re-stick.
A: Use a lint roller. Use tape. Use a damp washcloth. Vacuum the furniture. Use a toothbrush. Don't let your home get too dry. Remove pet hair from upholstery and fabric with rubber gloves.

Q: This is a great excuse to text someone that you don't know that well. The advice could be about anything: what class to take, where's the best ice cream place in town, what book you should read. Incorporate a compliment to be more flirty. Text her: "I don't know which classes to pick for next semester and you're the smartest girl around. Advice?" Or, "You sang so beautifully at the choir concert yesterday! Any song recs? I need more music." Make it a joke by pretending it's urgent. "I need help with an urgent question: what's the best ice cream in town?" Even if you don't know the girl, it's generally safe to assume that she likes listening to music, watching TV, or reading books. You can tell her you just finished a TV show, or are looking for new tunes. Text something like, "I just finished "Derry Girls." So good! Any new show recs to fill this hole in my heart?" This is really sweet and proves that she's been on your mind, even if you don't know her too well. If you've got a crush on a cute girl in your class, this is a good way to send her a first message out of the blue. Text something like, "Was just listening to the Les Mis soundtrack and I remembered how awesome you were in the spring musical. What's up?" Mention something that you have in common. For example, "Just ran into Mr. Trevor at the grocery store. Lol so awkward. Don't know how I would survive that class without your funny comments." If you've just got the number of a cute girl in your class, or you're messaging her on social media, asking her to study is the perfect excuse to get together. If you want to make it a bit more flirty, use the word "date." Text, "Can't believe how much homework Mr. L gave us Homework date this weekend?" Or make her the hero by texting, "I am dying here trying to study for the bio test. Save me?" When you're sending the first message to a girl you just matched with on a dating app, don't just say, "Hey," or tell the girl that she looks pretty. Prove that you've taken the time to read her bio by mentioning something in it. For example, if her bio says she likes to watch Friends, you could say, "So are you more of a Rachel, a Phoebe, or a Monica?" If it says she likes reading, ask her what's her favorite book she's read recently. If she doesn't have anything specific in her bio, ask her a question on one of her photos. For example, "That view looks gorgeous! Where is it?" Remember, the point of a dating app is not to talk forever virtually, but to set up a time to meet in person. So after you've established a bit of friendly banter, go ahead and ask her out. You won't really know if you two get along until you meet in person. Be direct and clear, and suggest a plan. Say something like, "Can I take you out to coffee this week? There's a new cafe on Teresa Street with killer pastries." Or say, "Would love to continue this chat in person. How about drinks at Benni's on Friday?" If she's not free the time you suggest, ask her when she is free.
A:
Text the girl for advice if you have her number. Ask the girl for a recommendation to get the conversation started. Send her a "thought of you" text to show your sweet side. Ask a girl in your class on a study date as an excuse to hang out. Reference a girl's bio when messaging her on a dating app. Ask her out on a date after a bit of banter on a dating app.
