Write an article based on this "Gather materials. Cut off the toe from the sock. Fill the sock with catnip and sew it shut. Wrap the sock with yarn. Sew on some feathers. Wave it in front of your cat."
article: You'll need fluffy yarn, a sock, scissors, catnip, a needle and thread, and some feathers. You can discard the toe, as it will not be needed in constructing this toy. Again, this step is optional, as your cat will want to play with anything that resembles its natural prey. Tie the yarn to one end of the sock and wrap it completely, so you no longer see the sock. Tie down the other end of the yarn. Choose a few places to add feathers. Slip them under a loop of yarn and use the needle and thread to sew them in place. This will also keep the yarn from unraveling. Your cat will love this toy, as it combines feathers with a stuffed animal.

Write an article based on this "Consider your reasons for the divorce. Try not to blindside your husband. Practice what you are going to say. Find a private, quiet space. Have a third party in the room if you are worried about your safety."
article: Divorce is often threatened during heated arguments, usually out of anger or frustration, to gain power and control over the other person, and to finally be taken seriously that you want real change. Remind yourself that divorcing your partner is a huge decision, mentally, emotionally, and financially. You will also need to be willing to let go of a strong emotional attachment to your partner, so you should try to make the decision to get a divorce from a clear, unemotional standpoint. Ask yourself: What is my intent in getting a divorce? Any other agenda, other than ending the marriage, is an indication you may not be ready to get a divorce. Divorce has no power to right wrongs or change people's hearts. Divorce can only end your marriage and your relationship with your partner. Keep in mind that spouses who consistently threaten divorce can lose credibility with themselves and their partner. So, if you are serious about getting a divorce, you will need to express this to your partner in a clear, but appropriate way. In most cases, both spouses are usually aware there is something wrong with the marriage. You may have tried marital therapy together, done individual counseling, or had discussions about the troubles in the relationship. If possible, try to pursue counseling or therapy together first before jumping into a conversation about divorce. If the feelings are mutual, you and your husband will have more options. If your husband has no idea, it can be a devastating conversation. Surprising your husband with this difficult news may also result in a more difficult transition for you both during the separation. This is going to likely be a very hard conversation to have with your husband. So get out a piece of paper and write down a few possible things you may include when you tell your husband about the divorce. Keep in mind you are about to break some bad news that will probably evoke strong emotions. Compose a few sentences that do not contain strong language or an angry tone. Focus on using neutral language. Make "I" statements, such as: "Michael, I have some difficult news to tell you. I have reached a conclusion that you and I need to divorce." Avoid giving any false hope to your husband if you are serious about the divorce. Saying something like: "I haven't been happy for a long time. But I want to see if we can work on some of the things that are troubling me" will give your husband the impression you want to fix the marriage. So if this is not your intent, avoid statements like this. Choose a time when you are both alone and no one is going to barge in during the conversation. Look for a space in your home, like the living room or the dining room, that is quiet and comfortable. Turn off your cell phone and ask your husband to do the same. If you have children, ask a family member to watch them while you talk to your husband, uninterrupted. Perhaps you are divorcing for troubling reasons, like your husband's angry or abusive behavior. If this is the care, have a third party present like a therapist or a counselor, or choose a more public place to talk to him. You cannot control how well or how not well your husband takes the news. But if there is a history of violence or abuse in your marriage, make sure you have another person in the room with you. You can also tell your husband over the phone if you are concerned about your safety and do not want to be in his presence when you tell him the news.

Write an article based on this "Consider using a barrel or box as the base. Gather lumber. Use a table saw to angle the edges of the lumber Lay out the lumber. Roll the lumber into a barrel shape. Add a bottom (optional)."
article:
The easiest way to create a base for the wishing well is to use an existing, wooden container. A barrel or wooden planter roughly 24 feet (0.6 1.2 meters) tall will make a small garden ornament, while larger containers can be used to make something closer in size to an actual well. If you do decide to use one of these options, skip ahead to the next section, on attaching a roof. If you'd like to make your own circular well base, use the instructions below. If you prefer a square container, build a planter box, then skip ahead to attaching the roof. If you have access to a table saw, you can make your own wooden ring out of lumber. Here are some guidelines for the raw materials: Sixteen pieces of 1 x 4 (25 x 100 millimeter) lumber will make a wishing well that looks quite circular, and measures about 2 feet (0.6 meters) across. Use eight pieces of 2 x 4 (50 x 100 millimeter) instead to save time and money, making an octagonal well. Cut all pieces to the same length, which will be the height of your wishing well. If you want the well to be portable, or usable by children, choose a height of 4 ft (1.2 m) or less. If you plan to build a roof, cut two of the pieces at least 2.5 ft (0.75 m) longer than the others to serve as roof supports. Cut one end of these pieces to a fencepost-like point, using 45 angles. . Bevel each long edge of each piece of lumber, to ensure that they fit together tightly when arranged in a circle. For a sixteen-sided barrel, cut each edge to an 11.25 angle. For an eight-sided barrel, use a 22.5 angle instead. Use a protractor, rafter square, or angle gauge to set the angle of your saw. For a barrel with n sides, use an angle equal to 360 (n x 2). See the tips section for an alternate method of finishing you barrel, that does not require beveling. Lay out the lumber flat on the ground, touching each other along the long edges. Push them against a straight edge to make sure the bases line up. If you are using extra-long roof supports, place exactly half of the short pieces in between them, to make sure the roof supports end up opposite each other. For example, if you are using sixteen pieces, lay out a long roof support, seven short pieces, then a long roof support, then the other seven short pieces. If you are using eight pieces, lay out a long roof support, three short pieces, a long roof support, then the other three short pieces. Once you have beveled the lumber and laid it out, rotate one slat of lumber onto the next, so the angled edges fit perfectly. Repeat until the barrel shape is formed, with the help of an assistant if possible. If you cannot roll the barrel together, use wood glue to fasten each slat to the next in turn. If you would like the barrel to have a bottom, trace out the dimensions of the bottom piece while the barrel is rolled together. Cut out the bottom from a single piece of lumber and wedge it into the barrel, then continue on to the next step. If you leave your wishing well without a base, you can use it as a decoration around existing features, such as fountain pipes or flower planters. Clamp the barrel together. Whether or not you used glue, clamp the final barrel shape together by tightening two hose clamps around it, one near each end. Use a third clamp near the middle if the barrel seems loose.
