To best care for your nylons, you should wash them by hand. Fill your sink with cold water. Make sure the drain plug and chain are free of sharp edges which could snag your tights. Nylons are extremely delicate, so you should always wash them with a mild detergent. This will help preserve the fibers in the long run so your nylons last longer. When you soak your tights, the detergent will be able to penetrate the fabric without much agitation. By turning your tights inside out, you will be able to wash out any oils or sweat from your skin that have built up. You don't want to stretch, pull, or wring your nylons, since this will cause them to lose their shape. Instead, gently scrunch the fabric together and swirl the nylons around in the water to dislodge any dirt. Hot water will cause the fibers of your nylon stockings to stretch out, while cold water will help them stay tightly knitted. Empty the soapy water from the sink, then carefully rinse all of the detergent out of your nylons using cold water from the tap. Do not squeeze or twist your nylons as you rinse them.

Summary: Fill a sink with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon (15ml) of mild detergent to your water. Soak inside-out tights in the soapy water for 10 minutes. Scrunch your nylons together to wash them. Rinse your nylons under cold running water.

Decide how much you can afford to spend on a scratch-offs every week. This absolutely has to be money you can afford to lose, because you will lose money playing the lottery longterm. It's a guarantee. When you've set a weekly budget, take money for scratch-offs from the leftover cash, not used for rent, groceries, or other necessary expenses. If you've got a fund set aside for fun stuff, you could take it out of there if you enjoy playing scratch-offs. Never spend more than your budget. Resist the temptation to chase your losses. The statistics won't change in your favor. Lotto tickets may award consistency in the long run. Keep playing the game at your price point with the odds you like, until the top prize is paid out, then switch to another game. This helps to manage the psychological impact of winning and losing. Make it a rule: you can't play another game. Some serious players differ on their philosophy regarding this. Alternatively, you could pick a store to always buy from, and buy different sorts of games from that store. Make one part of your buying routine consistent. Since there's always a higher-percentage chance of losing over winning, regardless of what you do, playing consistent is just one way of staying sane. If you win on a ticket, put the money in your wallet and leave the store. Don't spend it on more scratch-offs beyond the budget you set, no matter how little. This alone will increase your income from scratch off wins, as using the winnings to invest in more money will most likely cause you to just lose them again. The numbers aren't your friend in the long-term.

Summary: Set a scratch-off budget and stick with it. Pick a game you like and stick with it until the prizes are paid out. Quit while you're ahead.

One of the most effective ways to prevent SARS is thorough and frequent hand-washing. This minimizes the spread of the virus from surfaces that manyor infected-- people touch. Use a mild soap and hot water and wash your hands in warm water for at least 20 seconds. Use a hand sanitizer of at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.

If there is a chance that you may come into contact with someone who has SARS, or their body fluids or feces, wear disposable gloves. This can help ensure that you don't accidentally infect yourself. You can use surgical-type gloves to prevent contamination. Make sure to check for any rips or punctures before you put on the gloves. Dispose of the gloves after each use in a lined wastebasket. Never wash or reuse gloves. You can get disposable gloves at many pharmacies and most medical supply stores.

Put the mask in front of your mouth and nose. Secure the mask to your face with the pointer finger and thumb of your dominant hand. Push the mask on to your face until you are sure there is no space between your face and the mask. Pull the garter than ensures your mask will stay on your face.
