You can find this in the upper-right corner of the AOL homepage, above the Weather icon. An AOL account provides you free web email and also allows you to use the AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) service. You are asked for your first and last name. Your name will be displayed as the Sender when you send an email to someone. This is the name that you use to log into AOL, and will appear if you are using AIM. Your username will be your email address. AOL provides five suggested usernames based on your first and last name, or you can enter your own. Your username must be unique or you will not be able to use it. See this guide for tips on creating an original username. Your password protects your account, so you should ensure that it is strong. A good password has a few numbers and symbols, and does not include any dictionary words. AOL will display the strength of your password using a meter to the right of the field. You will need to enter your password twice to confirm it. See this guide for tips on creating a strong, memorable password. Use the drop-down menu to select the month, and then enter the day (dd) and year (yyyy). You will need to be at least 13 years old to create an account. AOL needs your gender before you can create an account. This is used to tailor the news stories that appear on your AOL homepage. While AOL doesn't need your whole address, they need your postal code in order to determine your general location. This is used for weather and local stories on your AOL homepage. Click the drop-down menu to choose a security question from the selection available. Type in the answer to the question you pick in the field below the drop-down menu. Your security question will be used when you request a password reset or log in from an unknown location. You can use your mobile phone to help verify your identity when you're having difficulties logging in. Entering a phone number is optional. You can set a second email account as your alternate address. If you need to reset your password, instructions will be sent to this address. You can use the email address provided by your internet service provider, or sign up for a free email account using another service such as Google or Yahoo. Entering an alternate email is optional. Your account will be created, and you will be signed in to AOL. If you set up an alternative email address, you may need to open a message sent to it to verify the address. One of the main benefits of having an AOL account is using the AIM messaging service. You can chat with aim through the AOL Mail web interface, or you can download AIM as a separate program from AIM.com. See this guide for tips on using AIM.

Summary: Click the "Sign Up" link located at the top of the AOL homepage. Enter your name. Create a username. Make a password. Enter your date of birth. Select your gender. Enter your zip (postal) code. Select a security question. Enter your mobile number. Enter an alternate email address. Click "Sign Up" button. Chat using AIM.

A guy who likes you online will often make time to talk and message with you. For instance, he might message you frequently even when you are offline. You may also find that you spend hours messaging back and forth throughout the day and even into the night. This is a sign that he likes talking to you and is making time in his schedule to communicate. If you send a message to him and he takes over an hour to respond and you know that he is online, this likely means that he is just being polite. Alternatively, if he messages back right away and then starts up a conversation he probably likes you. Similarly, a guy who likes you will often message you as soon as you log onto Facebook messenger or any other messaging app. Some guys will respond to your messages just because they are polite. If this is the case, they will likely respond with short, one word answers and will rarely try and engage in a meaningful conversation. Alternatively, if a boy likes you, he will try to get to know you, ask your advice or opinion, or share stories about his day. If he is interested he might say "how was your day?" or "what are you up to this weekend?" These types of questions reveal that he wants to be apart of your everyday life. Boys will often flirt when they like someone. Signs of online flirting include compliments, light hearted jokes, the use of exclamation points, emoticons, or bitmojis. He might say something like "you look so cute in your profile picture." Never pin all your hopes or fears on just one or two online conversations. Lots of people run their instant messengers in the background whether they have the time to chat or not. His short responses may just signal that he is busy or preoccupied. If this becomes a regular pattern, it may be a sign that he is not interested in you.

Summary: Notice if he spends time messaging you. Look for him to respond to your messages quickly. Analyze the quality of messages he sends. Look for signs of flirting. Don't draw conclusions from one interaction.

You will need a wooden headboard and footboard. If they are attached, detach them. This project works best if there is either a flat skirt on the footboard or two-part skirt with an even edge at the top. Once you have the frame and the boards are detached, sand the wood to remove old paint or varnish, if you want to. Measure a vertical center line on the footboard and mark it with a pencil or other marking tool. Use a jigsaw or circular saw to cut the footboard along the center line. The two pieces will become the sides of the bench, while the headboard will be the back of the bench. Along the edges you just cut, drill evenly space holes for dowels. Find dowels that are an appropriate size and then use the drill bit for that size to drill the holes. Measure the height from the floor to the holes that you cut, as well as the distance between the holes, and then make identical holes in the same location on the front of the headboard posts. The number of holes you drill and where you drill them will depend on the shape and style of the bed. If your bed is of a non-standard shape, you may have to alter how you attach the footboards to the headboard. It may be necessary to attach them at the sides, rather than at the front of the posts. Insert the dowels, applying wood glue in both holes, and attach the footboards to the headboard. It should now be starting to look like a bench! Lay the bench on its back and attach 1x6s (cut to the appropriate length) to the footboards using L brackets and wood screws. Attach these at whatever height works for you and that the footboards allow. Use however many boards are needed to create a wide enough seat. Add a 1x3 board to the bottom of the front seat-board to make a skirt, if you want to. Caulk all the joints and gaps so that the connections are more sturdy. Upright the bench when necessary during this process. Paint the bench (with outdoor paint if you intend to put it outside), if you want to. You may also wish to add seat cushions or upholster the bench.
Summary: Buy and prepare an old bed frame. Measure and mark the center line on the footboard. Cut the footboard. Create the attachment points on the footboard. Attach the footboards to the headboard. Attach the seat. Caulk all joints. Add finishing touches.
