Problem: Article: If you've always loved adventure, retirement is a great time to travel. You now have all the time you need to visit the places you always wanted to see. Plus, seeing the world will keep you engaged and interested in the world Unfortunately, as a retiree, money may be a problem for you. If it is, try traveling on a budget. For instance, some websites allow you to do travel exchanges; you allow someone to stay in your home for the opportunity to stay in someone else's home in another location. Similarly, think about other cheaper places to stay, such as hostels and even dorm rooms. Some hostels limit their guests to young people, but others accept people of all ages and even offer semi-private rooms. Also, some universities offer dorm rooms up for people to stay in for cheaper than a hotel. Another option is to explore places close to home. Most people don't take the time to see the attractions within an hour or two of their homes, so take day jaunts to nearby places. You are a skilled individual who has extensive experience--put that experience to use. If you have accounting skills, small nonprofits would love your help. If you are a writer, maybe you can assist with newsletters for the library. Your skills would be much appreciated, and it keeps you involved in the community and seeing people. Your library is a well of information. It offers free resources to help you pursue your interests, from books on guitar playing to computers. Most libraries also have free programs that you can attend and enjoy. While that number seems arbitrary, it's not. With just one or two hobbies, your schedule won't be very busy. However, having more hobbies will create a busier schedule and make you happier overall. Think about what you've always wanted to do. Maybe learn the violin, or take a dance class. You could also learn how to play chess or take up gardening. For instance, if you love to knit, find a local knitting club to join. If you enjoy soccer, find a local group in your age range. Check with your local library or the parks and recreation department to find groups. You can also use websites such as Meetup. Whether it's work friends or just neighbors or church friends, make it a point to have social engagements with your friends. Try to schedule an evening or afternoon out at least once a week.
Summary: Take some time to travel. Volunteer your time. Visit your local library. Pick three to four hobbies. Find a local group with similar hobbies. Keep up with old friends.

Problem: Article: Do not use a cleaner on a Sanuk before testing it first. Dab the cleaner onto a small, inconspicuous portion of the Sanuk. Allow the cleaner to sit on for a few hours. If you do not notice any damage, such as discoloration, the cleaner should be safe to use for your whole shoe. If you're cleaning Sanuks to get rid of a bad smell, take steps to reduce odor in the future. Cleaning your Sanuks too often can cause damage, so it's best to prevent odor from developing to begin with. Try placing a fabric softener sheet in the soles of your Sanuks overnight to get rid of a bad smell. Drop sandal oil onto your Sanuks to remove smells. Apply foot powder before wearing your shoes. Do not wear your shoes every day. Sanuks are not safe to dry. Drying your Sanuks in a dryer can cause major damage. Do not wash your Sanuks if you do not have time to let them air dry.
Summary: Test a cleaner before applying it to your whole shoe. Keep odor in check while wearing your shoes. Do not ever put Sanuks in a dryer.

Problem: Article: The Windows 7 Setup DVD is the disc you used to install Windows 7 (or the Windows install disc that came with your computer). You also may have burned a Setup DVD on an earlier date using the Windows USB/DVD tool. If you created a Windows 7 Setup flash drive at a previous time, you can use that in place of a DVD. If you don't have either, you can borrow one or the other from a friend. Verify that your computer is configured to boot from CD/DVD ROM or USB flash drives in the BIOS. When you see "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD" (or "Press F12 to select a boot device"), follow the on-screen instructions. Windows thinks it will be installing a brand new operating system, but you'll really just be temporarily changing the name of a program called Sticky Keys. This will open the command prompt, where you'll type the following commands: Type copy d:\windows\system32\sethc.exe d:\ and then press Enter. If Windows is not installed on the D: drive, use the drive letter where Windows is located (such as E: or F:). You'll know if it's the wrong drive if you see the message "The system cannot find the specified path." Type copy /y d:\windows\system32\cmd.exe d:\windows\system32\sethc.exe and press Enter. Again, if Windows is not installed on the D: drive, use the proper drive letter. Type exit then press Enter. This will ensure that your computer doesn't try to boot from the DVD or flash drive. Usually this action will launch the program Sticky Keys, but this time it will launch the command prompt. Type the following commands: Type net user Administrator PASSWORD and press Enter. Replace "PASSWORD" with a new password for the Administrator account. Type copy /y d:\sethc.exe d:\windows\system32\sethc.exe and press Enter. Replace d: with a different drive letter if necessary. This will rename the Sticky Keys program we modified earlier. Type exit and then press Enter. You can now log in with the Administrator account.
Summary: Insert the Windows 7 Setup DVD or flash drive. Restart the computer to boot from DVD or USB flash drive. Click the "X" in the corner of the Language window. Press Shift+F10 at the Startup screen. Eject the Windows DVD or flash drive and restart the computer. Press the Shift key 5 times (quickly) at the login screen. Reboot the computer.

Problem: Article: Warm your muscles up with some brief cardio like running, jumping rope, or doing jumping jacks. It's important to warm up your muscles before stretching to avoid strain and potential injury. Before trying to touch your feet to your head, stretch your hamstrings to avoid straining them. Sit upright on the ground with your legs held straight in front of you. Slowly bend forward at the waist, keeping your back straight. Extend your hands and reach for your toes. If you can't reach your toes, try touching your ankles or perhaps your knees. Move your extended legs out so that they're about shoulder width distance apart. Repeat bending forward and reaching for your toes (or ankles or knees). Begin by sitting on the ground with your legs extended in front of you. Bend your right knee and bring your right foot inward towards your pelvis. Slowly bend forward at the waist, keeping your back straight. Extend your left hand towards your left foot; try to touch your toes. If you can't reach your toes, try to touch your ankle or your knee. Repeat each step on the left side. Warm up your back with some gentle stretches so you don't strain it. Start on your hands and knees and slowly drop your head and pull your back up into an arch. Hold for several seconds. Drop your stomach, lift your head, and pull your back downward into an inverted arch. For the next stretch, lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet on the ground. Keeping your back on the ground and your legs bent, slowly lower your knees to the ground on your right. Move your legs back into a neutral position. Repeat the stretch on the left side.
Summary:
Warm up. Stretch your hamstrings. Stretch your inner thighs. Stretch your back.
