Q: Remember that this is really not the biggest problem in the world to have. Everything is relative. If a little embarrassment is the worst problem you will ever experience, you're lucky. If you become flustered and react intensely, this can spur a reaction in others, creating an uncomfortable situation for everyone. Instead, try to keep your cool. It's possible that no one will notice or be able to see anyway. It might feel wet to you, but the pee stain may be barely visible to other people around you because of where it's located. Try to stay relaxed and slip away. If someone does see, remain calm. People often react to embarrassment by becoming flustered, tearful, stuttering, and acting upset overall. This makes the people around you feel awkward as well, causing a tense situation. While it can be incredibly embarrassing to have an accident in public, staying calm can help smooth things over. If anyone notices, try to react with a smile and take it with a grain of salt. You can proceed to do things to help quell your embarrassment. How you respond to something can affect how other people around you respond to it, so your attitude can make the situation more or less embarrassing. Adopt a confident attitude, and try to laugh off the mistake. In hindsight, embarrassing events are easy to laugh off. People often share embarrassing stories at cocktail parties. In the moment, however, laughing can be hard. Try to remind yourself you will live down this moment. This may make you feel more comfortable laughing. Even if it feels uncomfortable, try your best to laugh it off. Say something like, "Can you believe I just did that? I guess your joke was really funny." Speak with confidence, and downplay the significance of what just happened. Enlist a friend's help. If you're feeling sensitive, it may be difficult to laugh at yourself. Try to turn to a trusted friend and encourage him or her to laugh with you. Make a joke at your own expense and say, "Am I right?" If your friend joins in, the conversation can go from uncomfortable to fun and lighthearted. If you want to overcome embarrassment, work on moving forward. Instead of dwelling on what has just occurred, keep your mind in the present. You peed your pants, and now you must deal. Ruminating on the embarrassment will block your ability to smoothly cope with the situation. Try to silence the voice in your head. You may be inclined to think something like, "I can't believe you just did that. How humiliating." Try to ignore the words of self judgment. Instead, focus on what you can do now, in the present, to deal with the situation. Keep pulling your attention to the present as need be. Remind yourself you need to get to a bathroom, cover the stain, or laugh it off with those around you. You may feel you'll never live down peeing yourself in public. However, try to remind yourself of embarrassing things you've done in the past. This is probably not your first cringe-worthy moment. Remembering past embarrassments can help put things in perspective. You never thought you would get over certain fumbles, but eventually you did. Go over a list of your most embarrassing moments. Replay that uncomfortable first date, that awkward comment you made in English class, and so on. Try to recall your top five embarrassing moments. Think to yourself, "I got over all of that and I will get over this as well." Try to enlist your friends to help. Have friends share embarrassing stories as well. You may feel better about yourself if you realize everyone has experienced embarrassing moments.
A: Stay calm. Laugh it off. Stay in the present. Spend some time thinking over past embarrassing situations.

Q: Place the tile along the wall. Follow the lines that you made before you put the mortar on the wall. Rock the tile up and down slightly to help it move into place along the mortar. You may need to use a grout float to flatten the tile. You can purchase this simple tool in many home centers. You are going to have to cut extra tile pieces if there is space left between the top tile row and kitchen cabinets. You don't want the tiles to sit directly on the countertop. Leave a small gap that you will caulk later. Use plastic tile spacers to create even grout lines by placing them in the corners of the tiles.. If you are left with a gap that is less than an inch, you might want to use moulding to hide it rather than trying to cut tile to fit. You will want to make sure the mortar or mastic and the tile are completely dry before doing anything further to the wall. It can take as long as 24 hours for backsplash tile to dry, depending on the type of mortar or mastic you use and the temperature inside your home. You could use pre-sealer on natural stone. This will help the stone avoid staining. Once dry, wipe the tiles clean with water. Use a soft cloth to do so. You want to clean the tiles in this manner before you move onto applying the grout. It's time to complete the backsplash by applying grout to the tiles. Many people use poly-blend sanded grout for kitchen backsplashes. You can use caulk or silicone sealant to fill any expansion gaps between the tiles and counter or cabinets. Use a grout float to fill the joints. Push the grout at a 45-degree angle with the grout float. Scrape away extra grout when the joints are filled. Hold the gloat a a nearly 90-degree angle to scrape it off. Shape and firm up the grout by dragging in instrument across every joint. Use the edge of the grout float, a toothbrush handle end, or even a finger. Use a damp sponge to wipe away excess grout. Fill a bucket with the amount of water recommended on the grout packaging. Add the grout powder and mix together. Use unsanded grout if the gaps are less than 1/8 of an inch. Let the mixture stand for 5-10 minutes and then mix again. Apply the grout with a grout float tool at a 45-degree angle, working diagonally and wiping off any excess grout. Work in sections. The grout goes in between the tile. This is the final step in creating a tile backsplash. You will want to seal the tile so that it doesn't easily stain. Wait until the grout dries completely. This can take over a day and sometimes as much as three days. Apply grout sealant. After the grout has dried, put sealant on the lines and joints. Some sealant comes in a spray-on bottle, and other sealant is applied with a sponge or brush. Start at an end tile, and spread a uniform coating of sealant over all of the grout, including in the corners. Wipe away any excess sealant with a rag. Let the sealant dry for about an hour, and apply a second coat. Let that dry. Put your appliances and cookware back on the counter. Turn the power in the kitchen back on.
A:
Apply the tile. Dry and clean the tile. Apply grout and caulk around the tiles. Seal the tile.
