Problem: Article: Start by giving your significant other teasing kissing techniques to teach how to give a sweet kiss. Give a tender surface kiss with your lips pressed against your partner's lips. Include gentle nibbles on your significant other's bottom lip, but don't give them a full kiss yet. If your girlfriend starts to kiss you and gets overzealous, pull back and give gentle kisses on your girlfriend's neck or ear to reset. Then, work your way back to gently kissing her lips. Give your boyfriend a few gentle peck kisses on the lips before slightly opening your lips. When your boyfriend begins to kiss you too hard or sloppily, pull yourself away from him and communicate how you'd like to be kissed. Nicely tell him that you want to be kissed gently. Show him how to kiss you by saying, "I want to be kissed like this" and then giving him the type of kiss you're looking for. If your girlfriend is applying a bit too much pressure when she kisses you, you can give her a gentle hint to lay off the pressure. Run your hair through her hair while gently pulling her head back a bit to relieve the pressure on you. When her lips are lighter on yours, say something to let her know this is what you like. Say "Mmm, this is how I love to kiss you"
Summary: Initiate teasing kisses. Say how you want to be kissed. Pull your partner's head back gently.

Problem: Article: You can write the question down on a piece of paper and place it in front of you so you can think about it for a moment. You can also say the question aloud or close your eyes and focus on an issue you have questions about. Spend 1-2 minutes focusing on your question or issue so you can then transfer this energy to the stones. For example, you may choose a broad question like, "What does my future hold?" or you may ask a specific question like, "Will I get a promotion in the next week?" Try to work with 1 question or issue at a time. You can do multiple rune readings if you have more than 1 question or issue you'd like to address. Put all the stones in the pouch and shake them around in the bag. Focus on the question or issue as you shake them. Another option is to pour the stones on the cloth and use your hands to mix them around. Keep the stones face down so you do not see any of the symbols. Wait until you feel compelled to pick a stone from the bag or the pile on the cloth. Pick out the stones 1 by 1, flipping them over. Place the first rune stone on the right, the second rune stone in the middle, and the third rune stone on the left-hand side. Pick them 1 at a time and flip them over as you position them on the cloth. Place the first rune stone in the middle. The other 4 stones will then form a cross shape around the middle stone. Put the second rune stone to the left of the center stone and the third rune stone on the top of the middle stone. The fourth rune stone should be placed underneath the middle stone and the fifth stone should be placed to the right of the middle stone. This option is ideal if you would like a broad sense of your spiritual path and your future. Pick 9 stones out of the bag or out of the pile, holding them for 1-2 minutes each. Then, scatter them on the cloth. Notice which stones lie towards the center of the cloth and which ones fall towards the edges. You should also note which stones landed face up and face down.
Summary: Concentrate on a question or issue. Place the rune stones in a small pouch and mix them up. Mix the stones on the cloth with your hands if you prefer touching them all. Select 3 rune stones for a simple reading. Pick 5 rune stones for a more detailed reading. Scatter 9 stones on the cloth for a more random reading.

Problem: Article: Elevating your wrist above the level of your heart will help reduce swelling and pain. It's important to elevate your wrist for at least the first 48-72 hours after having a cast put on. Your doctor may recommend that you elevate it longer. You may also need to keep the wrist elevated while you sleep or during the day. Try propping it up on a few pillows. Icing your wrist can help reduce swelling and ease your pain. Make sure to keep your cast dry while applying ice. Put ice in a zip-top plastic bag. Make sure the bag is sealed properly to avoid leaks. Wrap the bag in a towel to make sure condensation doesn't get into your cast. You can also use a bag of frozen vegetables as an ice pack. Look for veggies that are small and even in size, such as corn or peas. (And obviously, don't eat them after you've used the bag as an ice-pack.) Hold the ice on your wrist for 15-20 minutes every 2-3 hours. Apply ice for the first 2-3 days, or as long as your doctor recommends. You may also find it helpful to use a commercial gel-based ice pack. These are reusable, freezable ice packs that won't melt and leak water onto a cast. You can find them at medical supply stores and most pharmacies. Most wrist pain can be treated with a non-prescription pain reliever. You should talk with your doctor about what type of painkiller is appropriate for you. Some can interfere with medical conditions or other medications you're taking. Your doctor may recommend a combination of ibuprofen and acetaminophen/paracetamol to fight pain and reduce swelling. These are more effective together than either one is alone. Ibuprofen is an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug). These help reduce fever and swelling by inhibiting your body's production of prostaglandins. Other NSAIDs include naproxen sodium and aspirin, although aspirin has a more prolonged anti-clotting effect than other NSAIDs. Your doctor may not recommend aspirin if you have a bleeding disorder, asthma, anemia, or other medical condition. Aspirin can cause negative interactions with several medical conditions and medications. When administering pain relievers to a child, be sure to use a children's formula and follow the dosage for the child's age and weight. Aspirin is not recommended for children under age 18. There is a risk of liver damage when taking acetaminophen, so use only as much as recommended by your doctor. Do not take an OTC painkiller for more than 10 days (5 days in children) unless directed by your doctor. If your pain persists after 10 days, see your doctor. It's important to exercise any joints that aren't under the cast, such as your elbow and fingers, to keep circulation flowing. This will help speed your healing process and increase mobility. If you experience pain when moving your elbow or fingers, contact your doctor. You may find that your skin gets itchy under the cast, and you'll probably want to scratch it. Don't! This can cause harm to your skin or the cast. Don't poke or stick anything into the cast. Try raising your cast or blowing on it with a hairdryer on the "low" or "cool" setting instead. Don't put powders into the cast, either. Anti-itch powders can cause irritation when they're trapped under the cast. Your cast may rub or irritate your skin where its edges meet your skin. You can apply moleskin, which is a soft fabric with an adhesive backing, directly to the skin where the cast is rubbing. You can purchase moleskin at drug stores and pharmacies. Apply moleskin to clean, dry skin. Replace it when it gets dirty or loses its stickiness. If the edges of your cast become rough, you can use a nail file to smooth out the rough edges. Don't peel, cut, or break off pieces of your cast. In most cases, your wrist will heal in a few weeks with proper care. You should call your doctor if you experience any of the following: Numbness or tingling in your hand or fingers Cold, pale or blue fingers Increased pain or swelling of the area after the cast has been put on Raw or irritated skin around the edges of the cast Cracks or soft spots in the cast Wet, loose, or tight casts Casts that smell bad or itching that won't go away
Summary:
Elevate the wrist. Apply ice to your wrist. Take an over-the-counter painkiller. Wiggle your fingers and move your elbow around. Avoid sticking objects into the cast. Apply moleskin to prevent rubbing. Know when to call your doctor.
