Slice the tortillas into to -inch (0.64 to 1.27 centimeters) thick strips. Spread the strips in a single layer on two baking sheets. Bake the strips in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy. Season the strips with salt. Let the strips cool on the baking sheet, then serve them."
article: If you'd like, you can also line two baking sheets with parchment paper. The parchment paper is not absolutely necessary, but it will make cleaning up easier. Measure out the oil into a small bowl, Then, use a basting brush (or something similar) to brush the oil onto the tortillas. The oil will help the tortillas turn crispy when you bake them. If you'd like to make smaller strips, cut the tortillas into quarters. At this time, you can also put the remaining tortillas into stacks as well, so that they will be ready for you. You can do this using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter. These narrow strips are perfect for tossing onto a soup or salad. If you'd like to make something more chip-like that you can eat with salsa (or other dips), cut the tortillas into 1-inch (2.54 centimeters) wide strips instead. If you cannot fit all of the strips onto the baking sheets, save them for a separate batch. You don't want the strips to be clumped up or covered, or they won't bake evenly. You can bake them one baking sheet at a time, or you can put both baking sheets into the oven. If you are baking both sheets at the same time, rotate them halfway through baking. This ensures that both sheets get baked the same amount. Once the strips are baked, pull the baking sheets out of the even, and set them down on the counter or stove. Shake some salt onto the strips; how much salt you add is entirely up to you! They make great toppings for salads, soups, and beans. You can also serve the wider ones on their own with some dip.

article: It's hard to keep your cool when your texts and phone calls suddenly go unanswered. However, you should take a deep breath and relax before launching a tirade of frantic texts or sending a 10-paragraph angry email. Not knowing why they won't respond is maddening, but it's better to cool off before saying something you'll regret or jumping to conclusions. If you feel the need to initiate contact, stay rational. Send them a message or voicemail and say, "I haven't heard from you lately, and I hope I didn't do anything to offend you. If you want to try to resolve any issues, I'd be happy to talk. Otherwise, I wish you all the best." Many people find ghosting acceptable in some circumstances. For example, if a match on a dating app starts ignoring your messages, your best bet is to brush it off and forget about it. If you just met the person or went on 1 or 2 casual dates, checking up on them probably isn't worth your time. However, if you've been friends or romantically involved for months or years, they might just have a lot on their plate. Before jumping to conclusions, see if they've simply been busy, and make sure that they're in good physical and mental health. You could check their social media profile and see if they're posting pictures or statuses. Keep in mind you shouldn't obsess over their posts for hours. Just do a quick check. If you both have a mutual friend, you could ask them if the person who's ignoring you is okay. If you think the person might be depressed or going through an emotional struggle, you could write them a message and say, "I haven't heard from you in a while, and I hope you're okay. I know you're going through a tough time, and I'm here for you." If it's clear that the person is intentionally ignoring you, it might be best to cut your losses. If they post fun pictures on social media and your mutual friends say that they're doing well, the ball's in their court. There's not much more you can do beyond telling them you're willing to discuss any issues and wishing them well. As much as it hurts, do your best to stop making excuses for them or holding out hope that they'll eventually respond. If they do try to contact you in the future, use your best judgment. If they apologize and explain that they had a lot going on, they might not have had bad intentions.

Replace the damaged board with a new one. Return all the boards you removed to their places. Tack any baseboards, molding, or thresholds back in place."
article:
Start at the side closest to the damaged board or boards. Carefully pry away baseboards and molding from the wall and pry thresholds up from any doorways with a pry bar. This method works when the damaged boards are close enough to the edge of the floor that it is possible to remove a small number of surrounding boards to get to the damaged boards and replace them. Try your best not to damage any of the pieces that you pry away so that you can replace them afterward. Insert a pry bar under the boards at their seams and press down on the end of it like a lever to pop the joints loose. Work from the edge where you removed baseboards and molding in towards the site of the damage until you can remove the damaged boards. Set aside the boards that are still good, in the order you removed them, so that you can replace them afterward. Line up the tongue and groove of the new board the same way as those of the board you removed were lined up. Snap the new piece into position. Save the damaged board so that you can use it for future repairs. For example, if you need to match the color to repair scratches and chips, you can take it with you to the home improvement store when you go looking for the repair kit. Work in reverse order as when you removed them, starting with the boards that surround the replacement board. Line up the tongues and grooves, then slide or gently tap them back into place with a hammer if there is a lot of friction. If you use a hammer to tap any boards into place, use the damaged board you removed as a buffer between the hammer and the good boards to prevent damaging them. Line up the baseboards, molding, and thresholds in the same order you removed them to reinstall them around the edges of the floor. Gently tack them back into place with baseboard nails and a hammer using the same nails and holes as before. Use new baseboard nails if any of them got damaged when you pried them out earlier on.
