Q: To clean Formica, apply a mild dish soap to the surface. You can either apply the dish soap directly to the surface or mix with water and then dip a sponge into the solution before rubbing it on the surface. If your counter tops have a high gloss finish, you may need to use a simple glass cleaner to remove any streaks or smears that may become present after a normal cleaning. To do this, spray glass cleaner on the streaky area and then wipe with a paper towel or cotton cloth. These can etch, corrode, or discolour the surface. As a result, only mild and gentle cleaning agents should be used. Read the ingredients on your cleaning products to ensure they will not mark the surface.
A: Apply a mild dish soap to the surface. Spray high gloss surfaces with glass cleaner. Avoid cleaners that contain acid, alkali, or sodium hypochlorite.

Q: While licorice is commonly taken to help reduce certain symptoms, it should not be taken in lieu of professional medical treatment. Simply put, there is not enough scientific evidence to support the use of licorice root for any specific health malady. The medicinal claims of many herbalists, though widely repeated and accepted by other herbalists, are not backed by clinical studies. Whenever you are using or considering a complementary, integrative, or alternative health practice, notify your doctor. Your doctor needs a full picture of your health and what you do to manage it in order to help you. Furthermore, certain combinations of medications and herbs can be dangerous. Among other concerns, the habitual use of herbs may affect the health or efficiency of some of your organs. Your doctor may order blood work if you take herbs such as licorice root regularly. There is some risk of adverse effects on your child if you consume licorice root in any form, even candy, while pregnant. If you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or nursing, avoid licorice, licorice supplements, and licorice tea. Do not provide licorice root in any form to children that weigh under 50 pounds (23kg).
A: Do not assume licorice root will cure you. Notify your doctor when taking herbal supplements. Don't take licorice root while pregnant.

Q: Get a tub, bin, or bucket big enough for your hand or foot. Fill the container up with warm water that doesn't burn. While sitting on a chair or stool, immerse your foot or hand in the container for 10-20 minutes while you relax and do something else. Continue doing this until the skin has softened up and relaxed a little. Even if this doesn't remove the callus or corn completely, it will certainly make it more comfortable. This is a great reason to take a break and crack open a good book. You can also do this in front of the TV and catch up on your favorite show. Any lotion or cream that contains salicylic acid, ammonium, lactate, or urea will work well. After showering or soaking your feet, apply a small dollop of lotion or cream to the surface of the callus or corn. Use a smooth, soft circular motion to work the lotion or cream into the skin until the lotion and cream is no longer visible. Don't do this if the skin is punctured or you're recovering from a woundyou're better off letting the skin heal first before doing this. Over time, the lotion or cream will soften the skin and the callus or corn will either disappear or be soft enough to remove. The softer your skin becomes, the closer you are to getting rid of that annoying callus! Calluses and corns are often formed by friction or pressure. To protect the skin from friction and pressure, get a callus pad, which is a donut-shaped bandage designed for feet and hands. Place the pad over the callus or corn so that the affected area is resting in the center of the pad. The adhesive will keep it in place. Change your pads out every day to keep the skin clean and comfortable. You can make your own pad by wrapping gauze into a circular shape and using athletic tape or skin tape to hold it in place. This is particularly important if the callus or corn is on the bottom of your foot where calluses can get really obnoxious. While you have a callus or corn, avoid putting too much pressure on your hand or foot. Avoid working out to keep the skin dry and sweat-free, and take it easy while you're working on repairing your skin. Replace your callus pads daily and moisturize your skin after soaking it while relaxing at home. If you tend to do a lot of physical activity in your spare time, this is a great excuse to finally catch up on that book or movie you've been trying to watch!
A: Soak the callus in warm water for 10-20 minutes twice a day. Rub the affected skin with a moisturizing cream or lotion. Wear callus pads to protect the skin and let it air out. Take a break from physical labor and sports while the skin heals.

Q: Think about places your friend has on their bucket list. Maybe your friend has always wanted to go to Disney World or visit a particular restaurant in your town. Download a fake check-in app for a social media site like Facebook and "check in" to your friend's favorite destinations. If your friend sees this, they may get jealous. You can even go as far as to tag your friend in posts to make sure they see. For example, tag your friend saying something like, "Thinking of you! Know how much you've always wanted to go here." People often get annoyed by unnecessary notifications. If your friend has a social media site like Facebook or Twitter, tag them in random posts or statuses. For example, tag your friend as a picture of a pan at your apartment. If you go to the zoo, tag your friend as random pictures of animals. They'll be bombarded with random notifications from nonsensical pictures. However, make sure not to tag your friend in a way that could be read as offensive. A friend who's sensitive about their weight, for example, may take offense if you tag them as a cow in a picture. Instead, tag them as something completely random, like a shoe. If you can get ahold of your friend's computer for a moment, get on their Facebook. Join a bunch of random groups and like a bunch of random pages. This way, your friend's news feed will suddenly be full of random content. You can pick completely random pages. For example, add your friend to a page called "I Love Goats." You can also add your friend to pages expressing opinions or tastes your friend disagrees with. For example, maybe your friend hates Ayn Rand. Have them join an Ayn Rand fan page on Facebook. Post messages on your friend's Facebook wall or send them tweets that are completely random. This will leave your friend confused and guessing as to what you mean. You can do things like leave links to random pages, like the IMDb page of an obscure film from a few years ago, or simply leave messages that don't make sense. For example, leave a message that looks out of context. Send them a Tweet saying something like, "Wow, that was epic. Never heard you laugh that hard!" Your friend will be left guessing what you're referencing. If you can get ahold of your friend's phone or computer, see if they're logged on to Twitter or Facebook. Post ridiculous tweets or statuses that would make your friend blush. For example, if your friend is a hardcore Democrat, post something like, "Vote Republican this November!" Make sure the content is appropriate, however. Avoid posting any NSFW (not safe for work) content or foul language.
A:
Use a fake check-in app to make your friend jealous. Tag your friends in random photos. Add your friends to random Facebook groups. Leave your friends nonsensical messages. Hack your friend's account to post goofy content.
