Problem: Article: Sometimes there will be greasy stains, and there will almost always will be feces near an entry point. There is also a characteristic odor. Mark the spot with caulk if it was hard to find, so that you can find it again easily. Start with the interior walls, as it's best to leave a way out for the mice. They may leave your home or apartment for easier pickings elsewhere. Use spackle or caulk to seal holes that are relatively small. If you have larger holes that can't be fixed with caulk or spackle, you will need to patch your plaster or drywall. This is a bigger job but important, as a mouse can surely fit through a bigger hole. Make sure baseboards are secured and do not have gaps, so that mice can't squeeze out from behind them. If trapped within the walls, mice may chew new holes. This is why it is important to give them a chance to leave before sealing up the exterior entry point. The usual recommendation is to fill holes with steel wool. Unfortunately, steel wool rusts and thus is not a permanent solution. Instead, use green kitchen pads, cut to the right size, or copper scouring pads. The pads must be secured to the sides of the hole or the mice will eventually pull them out. Large holes will need to be repaired. Once you are sure that the interior walls are secure, seal any holes on the exterior of your building. You may use plastic scouring pads, but in some cases, walls may need tuck-pointing or other repairs. After a couple of days, look for evidence of any continuing mouse activity. If there is any, check the holes that you sealed, and look for more holes. Seal as needed. Clean up the area around the entrance. Remove feces and disinfect the area to get rid of the smell. Use a solution of one part bleach and ten parts water to accomplish this.
Summary: Find the location where the mice are entering. Block up any holes in interior walls. Seal the exterior entry points. Check entry points again.

Problem: Article: Poems are meant to listened to as well as read on the page. Take the time to read the poem aloud and pay attention to how the words sound. Notice if you connect with particular lines or words in the poem when you read it aloud. Try reading it aloud several times to deepen your understanding of it. Another way to make the poem come alive is to try to find a recording of the poet who wrote the poem reading their work. Poets often perform their poems when they read, making them feel more engaging and interesting. Look for recordings of the poem online or through the sound archives at your local library. Many modern poets have recordings of their work that is available for free. Try looking for a recording of the poem here: https://www.poetryarchive.org/ or here: https://www.nysoclib.org/collection/poets-reading-poetry. Look for poetry readings at local cafes or bars. Attend open mic nights that feature poetry. Check if a poet you like is performing at a venue in your area and go see them read. Live poetry readings are a great way to experience poetry as entertainment that you watch and listen to. You may make it a habit to go to live poetry readings regularly so you are exposed to different poets and their reading styles.
Summary: Read the poem aloud several times. Listen to poets reading their own poems. Go to a live poetry reading in your area.

Problem: Article: Choose the right place to talk to your friend. If you ask them in front of people, they might become embarrassed and not answer honestly. For example, if you're out to coffee or lunch, your friend may not want other people to hear their response, even if they're strangers. If you want to talk, pick a time when it's just the two of you. Have the conversation in private where there are no prying ears. Talk in the car, on a walk, or another private place. Don't ask your friend when they are in the middle of working on something, on their phone, talking to someone, or when they have something on their mind, like a test tomorrow. Ideally, you want your friend to have some time to talk without having any interruptions or distractions. For example, if you're at your friend's house and their parents or siblings often interrupt, go somewhere where interruptions will not occur. You should feel prepared to listen, talk, and support your friend. Don't be distracted by anything, and have some time set aside for your friend. Don't have other things on your mind or things that might distract you, like anticipating a phone call. Set aside some time that you have free. Remember that you cannot 'fix' someone's problems. If the person isn't ready to talk or doesn't want to, be prepared to let it go. If you think you might get nervous talking about something personal, you could write down some bullet points you want to address.
Summary:
Have a private conversation. Remove any distractions. Feel prepared to talk.
