Q: If you made an arrangement with the person before they came into your home, then bring this up to them. This may help them to see that they are infringing on your space and decide to move on. For example, you could say something like, "Remember when you first arrived and I said that I had a busy week ahead of me, but you assured me that you would only be here for the weekend?" A great way to get your guest to leave is to tell them that your life is getting in the way of being a good host to them. In the end, they may take the hint and pack their bags. Let them know that your work and family life are so busy that you can't be the type of host you want to be at the moment. They should consider visiting again in the future. Tell them that other house guests will be arriving soon. For example, let them know that your in-laws are coming to visit and need to stay in the room they are staying in. Say "John, I'm so sorry, but my in-laws are coming to stay for a week starting Friday, we've got to have our guest room available to them." Share your plans to begin a home improvement project on the room they are staying in. For example, tell them you're about to convert it into a home office or a gym. If you're serious about it, you may even want to hire a contractor to go and take measurements of the space. One of the realities of hosting is that your guests will undoubtedly cost you money. Because of this, it seems obvious that you should request contributions of your guest if they overstay their welcome. However, if you just want them to leave then this might not be the best option. If you are okay with them staying longer if they help to cover the costs of their stay, then there are a couple of things you can try. Explain to them the cost of them staying. Detail the cost of extra water, power, and any other resources they are using. Set your nightly or weekly rate above low-cost alternatives. For example, if an extended stay charges $200 a week, you should ask $250. Understand that this might not work for some people, like parents or older relatives. Requesting money is best reserved for younger relatives, siblings, and children. In addition to monetary contributions, your guest should also pitch in and take care of some household chores. This should make a lot of sense, as someone who lives in a home should take part in taking care of the home. Some chores might include: Lawncare Taking the trash out Washing dishes General household cleaning.
A: Remind them about any pre-existing arrangements. Tell them you have other obligations to attend to. Request monetary contributions. Ask them to do chores.

Q: Place the cake on a piece of cardboard and outline it with a pencil. Remove the cake and cut the circle out of the cardboard. You could also place your cake on a decorative plastic tray or a cheap pizza pan. Make sure that the rubber bands are covered. Cut the ribbon so that both ends overlap slightly. Secure the ribbon together by taping the two ends together. You can wrap more than one type of ribbon around the cake. Wrap each layer in a different type of ribbon or wrap a large ribbon around each with a thinner ribbon layered over the larger one. Add fake flowers to the cake by sticking the stems between diapers. Stuff colorful pieces of tissue paper down the paper towel roll (if you used Method Two) and add flowers coming out of the top. Go to your local craft store and see what decorations you can find. You can also add baby travel sized products for extra flair. (This is an optional step.) Tie the netting together at the top with a bow, or add a stuffed animal to the tie for a "topper" to the cake.
A: Create the base for the cake out of cardboard. Wrap a ribbon around each layer. Place decorative embellishments on the cake. You can wrap the diaper cake in cellophane or netting to help with transportation.

Q: In order to advertise with a music store, you will need to establish a mutually beneficial relationship with one. Make phone calls to several of the nearest music stores. Let them know that you are a new piano instructor and inform them that you are looking for a good store to send your students to. When faced with the prospect of getting new customers, most music stores will be interested in building a good relationship with you. Determine which store seems to suit your needs best and let them know of your intention to direct students there. Then, ask them if you can leave business cards or pamphlets with them. If you can prove that you have a legitimate business, do not have a criminal record, and have the qualifications to teach piano, many schools will be willing to send a flyer home with their students. You can contact both public and private schools at all grade levels. Make sure that the flyer looks professional and includes all necessary contact information. If you have a place of worship and they have a bulletin board, ask permission to place a flyer there. If your church does not have a bulletin board but does have a weekly bulletin, ask about the possibility of putting a short announcement or insert in there. Many places of worship are very eager to help their members. Consider pinning a random flyer to a tree on a vacant back road or leaving one at your table for your waiter when you leave a restaurant or cafe (just make sure you leave a proper tip, as well, to avoid making a potential client angry). With as crowded as bulletin boards and traditional places of advertisement can be, advertising in an area that is not over-crowded with advertisements is an effective way to make your advertisement stand out. You may not reach many potential customers that way, but the ones you do reach will certainly remember you. Blogging can be an effective marketing tool as long as you know how to do it right. Learn how to optimize your blog for search engines. Make sure that your posts are informative and interesting, and be active enough in the blogging community to draw others to your own blog. An online video, posted to a popular online video community, can be a strong promotional tool. Get creative. The funnier or more interesting you can make the video, the more attention it will get. Your video does not need to go viral, but it helps to make it enough of an attention-grabber to attract a large number of hits. Start a Facebook page and Twitter account for your business. Be active on the social media sites you use, continually updating your pages and commenting on others' pages. The more attention you can attract, the more opportunity you have to advertise your lessons.
A: Contact nearby music stores. Ask the local schools to distribute your flyers. Pin a bulletin up on your church bulletin board. Look for creative places to advertise. Start a blog. Create an online video. Use social media.

Q: If you don't know where the hole is, keep the air mattress inflated as you look. Holes most often appear on the bottom or in the seams, so stand the mattress up against a wall to check. Listen for the sound of rushing air to detect tiny leaks. Try mixing a teaspoon of liquid dish detergent in a bowl of water. Use a sponge to spread the soapy water over the mattress. Bubbles will appear from the leaking area. Circle the leak with the marker so you can find it easily later. This is useful for small holes and tears. You can also use a piece of tape to mark the leak.
A:
Listen and look for the leak in the air mattress. Use soap and water if you can't find the leak. Mark the leak with a permanent marker.
