Q: The size of the circle is completely up to yousmall circles will make small pompoms, and bigger circles will make bigger pompoms. You should have two identical half circles. Cut down the paper you are going to use so that it is significantly smaller than your sheet of scrap paper. Then, place one sheet of paper flat on top of the scrap piece. Keeping it flat on the scrap paper, evenly divide the honeycomb paper into 4 to 8 sections (depending on how large your paper is). Instead of folding the honeycomb paper, draw lines on the scrap paper where each fold would be. Alternate mark colors every other line. If you do not have scrap paper, you can make these marks directly on your paper, using a pencil or thin pen. If you are using a piece of paper that is 4.25"x5.5" (half of an 8.5"x11" piece of paper), consider spacing your lines between 1 1/4 and 1 3/4 inches apart. Keeping your honeycomb paper flat on the scrap paper, run the glue stick vertically across the honeycomb paper where you have made marks in that color. If you are using a thin paper, such as tissue paper, hold it firmly and gently work your glue stick from the middle of the paper to the edges to prevent tearing. Rub firmly to make sure it sticks. Apply glue along the lines of the opposite color as last time. Place another piece of tissue paper on top and rub across to ensure the glue sticks. Be sure that you alternate glue lines between each sheet to continue the honeycomb effect. For a multi-colored pompom, change the color of your paper halfway through the gluing process. For a stripe pattern, change the color of your paper every 5 sheets or so. When you're done gluing sheets of paper, place one of the semicircles on top of the paper and trace loosely around it. Then, cut out the paper so that it is very slightly larger than the cardboard. Once you have cut out the honeycomb paper, glue one piece of cardboard onto each side. To ensure a uniform effect, pull the threaded needle at the top corner of your semicircle. Tie a loose knot, cut the thread, and repeat on the bottom corner. Be sure you've left some slack in your knots, or the pompom will not open. Leave the thread long on one endyou can use this to hang the pompom up later. Pull apart slowly and round into a ball. The honeycomb pattern should become more apparent as you open up the pompom. This will allow the pompom to hold the spherical shape. Enjoy your new decorations!
A: Cut a circle out of the cardboard. Cut the cardboard circle in half. Plan the honeycomb paper. Plan the glue lines. Pick a line color. Place another piece of paper on top of the paper you just glued. Apply glue. Repeat the above process with 30 to 40 sheets of paper. Cut the honeycomb paper. Glue the cardboard semicircles onto your honeycomb paper. Use the needle and thread. Hold the cardboard on both ends. Glue the cardboard pieces together. Hang.

Q: When someone is talking and trying to get your advice, start by just listening. A lot of the time, all someone needs is a sounding board. They need to be heard. This gives them the chance to sort out issues for themselves and come to accept a situation in their own mind. Don't talk until they're done, unless they seem to need a direct response. Sometimes if you listen to the whole story you can easily pinpoint the problem. If they ask for your opinion part-way through the story, give evasive answers and ask to get all of the information first. This is because you need to form a full, informed opinion before you can really give them good advice. They might manipulate the story and try to get an answer from you before you have all the facts, in order to get the answer that they're really hoping for. After they tell their story, ask them questions to get more information. This lets you develop a more full, informed opinion, but it can also help them to think about things that they hadn't considered, like alternatives or other points of view. Ask questions like: "Why did you say that?" "When did you tell him that?" One good habit is to ask them if they even want advice. Some people just want to talk and they don't want to be told what to do. If you feel they really need to hear your advice however, let them know it's just a suggestion, and you don't expect them to do it. If they say that they would like advice, give it. If they say no, then just say something like, "Well, if you keep having problems I'm here and happy to help you through it."
A: Just listen. Don't offer opinions yet. Ask lots of questions. Ask if they even want advice!

Q: If you are experiencing two or more of these symptoms, you may be experiencing heart failure. You should make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible to get checked out. You should never rely on your own diagnosis, but go get checked out by a doctor immediately. The symptoms of heart failure are not very specific and may be symptoms of other conditions. Heart failure causes your heart to get worse if left untreated. This is why it's important to be seen by a doctor as soon as possible. If you experience any chest pain, fainting, weakness that impairs your functioning, severe shortness of breath, or pink, foamy mucus when you cough, you should contact emergency services. The first step in diagnosing heart failure is for your doctor to give you a physical exam. During this exam, the doctor will take your blood pressure and weigh you. They will check over your body, looking for signs of swelling in your legs and feet and around the abdomen. Your doctor will also use a stethoscope to listen to your heart, checking for anything that sounds abnormal. They will also check the sound of the lungs for any fluid. When you go to your appointment, your doctor will need certain information from you. You need to give them a list of your symptoms, including those that you may not believe are related to your heart failure. Be as detailed as possible. You will need to tell your doctor about any personal or family medical history that is pertinent. You should share any personal or family history of heart disease, heart failure, high blood pressure, stroke, or even diabetes. You may need to tell your doctor about recent life changes or major stresses. Tell your doctor about all your medications, including vitamins and supplements you take. Your doctor may want to know about your dietary or exercise habits. Your doctor will ask you if you smoke, if you used to smoke, and about your alcohol consumption. If you think you are experiencing heart failure, you should ask your doctor questions about your symptoms, condition, and possible tests. You should ask your doctor if there are other conditions that may be causing your symptoms instead of heart failure or what else could be causing your symptoms. If your doctor believes you have heart failure, talk with them about the tests they will need to perform, when you will be able to get these tests, and if you will have to do anything special (like fast) before the tests. Ask your doctor if you should avoid certain foods or make any dietary changes. You can also ask about what types of physical activities should be done or avoided.
A: Go see your doctor. Get a physical exam. Share important information about yourself. Ask your doctor questions.

Q: Start by running the dryer for 10 minutes. This can help loosen the ink and make it easier to remove. You can alternatively use a hairdryer to heat up the specific spot which is being affected. This may be easier and more efficient to do. Unplug the dryer to prevent accidents. The plug is usually located behind the machine. Test it to be sure that you have unplugged it correctly. Be sure to go quickly so that the drum is still warm when you're cleaning it. Buy some isopropyl alcohol from your local drugstore and apply the alcohol to a white, clean rag. You'll want to be sure that you get plenty of ventilation while you're working with the isopropyl alcohol. Work quickly to wipe off the ink using the alcohol soaked rag. Change rags frequently to keep from spreading the ink even more. Once you've removed as much of the product as you can, mix a bucket with soapy water. Use this water and a clean cloth to wipe down the inside of the drum. With the dryer rinsed out, run a load of old towels through a cycle in the dryer to remove any ink which might still remain.
A:
Warm the dryer. Unplug the dryer. Apply isopropyl alcohol to a rag. Wipe off the ink. Rinse the drum. Run a cycle with old towels.
