This is a great way to show your interest when you're at an event together, or out at a restaurant or bar with a big group. She'll be surprised and happy that you remembered her favorite dish, and the food or drink will give her an excuse to stay put and keep talking to you. Say, "I remembered you said how much you love onion rings, so I thought you could show me what's so great about them." This is especially important if it's around her birthday or another gift-giving holiday. She'll be touched that you remembered and went to the effort of buying you a gift. It's a big hint that you like her as something more than just a friend. Try to incorporate any inside jokes you have, or funny memories you've shared together. For example, if you share a class and complain about how hard the assignments are, look for a funny book of wrong test answers. If you've bonded over a love of tacos, get her a taco cookbook or a gift card to your favorite taco shop. Surprising her with a small chocolate bar or packet of candies will brighten up her day in an unexpected way. Leave a funny note, like "Don't let this candy make you too hyper!" For example, if you know she has a tough test in one of her classes, sneak in early and leave a candy bar on her desk. When you see her next, ask, "How did the test go? I've heard chocolate helps you score higher" If she mentions a certain music genre she loves or a festival she'd die to go to, buy tickets to it and surprise her with one. This is a great way to show that you know what she loves and want to spend more time with her. For example, say, "I have an extra ticket to that ice cream festival. If you're free next weekend you should come and eat your way through 50 flavors with me!"

Boxelder bugs feed on the sap from female boxelder trees, which they primarily obtain from their seedpods. When you notice the seedpods starting to drop in the fall, rake them up and dispose of them as often as possible. This will help remove the bugs' food source, which will discourage them from congregating in your yard. Boxelder bugs also feed on other types of maple trees, though not as commonly. If the boxelder bugs seem to be attracted to another tree, rake the leaves and seeds from that tree as soon as they fall, as well. Since boxelder bugs attract others, you can help prevent large swarms by keeping smaller groups from forming. If you see several boxelder bugs together, spray them with a hose set to the strongest stream possible. This won't kill the bugs or cause them to leave your property, but if you're able to catch them when they're just starting to gather, they won't be able to release their scent to call others to that spot. Spraying the bugs with plain water won't kill them, but using soapy water will. Mix about 1 tablespoon (15mL) of dish soap into a spray bottle full of water. When you see boxelder bugs on the side of your house, near your windowsill, or anywhere else they might gather, just grab your spray bottle and saturate the bugs. This is less harmful than using chemicals to treat the bugs, while still being very effective. If nothing else you've tried has made much of a difference and the boxelder bugs are really bothering you, you might consider removing the female trees. Hire a professional tree removal service to safely cut down the female boxelder tree, then plant another tree in its place. Male boxelder trees don't produce seedpods, so you don't need to cut these down. This is an extreme solution to getting rid of a bug that generally doesn't cause too much trouble. In most cases, it's simpler to keep your tree and just accept the bugs.

The absolute last thing you want to do is to injure your arm just when you're starting to practice a new skill. Make sure you do a dynamic warm-up in which you get your arm moving gently first. A few ideas for warm-up exercises you can do are: Swinging your arms horizontally and vertically for 30 seconds each way. Using an elastic exercise band to stretch your throwing arm. Gently moving through the throwing motion 20 times. The direction of the spin should be such that the ball is spinning forward. Doing this isolates the actual action which creates the spin on the ball. You can do this anywhere as long as you have a baseball and you can toss the ball up a few feet in the air. When doing this, really try to emphasize the flick in your fingers as you drag them down over the front of the ball. The goal of this is to maximize the revolutions you can get on the ball but start out by just mastering the direction of the spin and then working towards full revolutions. When you pitch, putting your whole body into each pitch is really important as this gives you the maximum force you can get. However, when you are just starting to practice the curveball, isolating your arm and hand action is helpful, which is easier to do when you're on your knees. This is also a great way to build muscle memory and minimize the number of factors involved in your throwing action. A really important part of throwing a curveball is ensuring that you get the direction of the spin correct and that you can repeat this at least 80% of the time. As such, throwing at half your regular speed is a good halfway point to get your action started but to minimize the variables you have to battle. If you feel like you want to start at lower than half your regular speed then that is absolutely fine, the key is that you don't jump straight into 100% and sacrifice your accuracy. Don't be too concerned if you aren't seeing too much curve from the ball here. Everything you're doing at the moment is working to maximize the efficacy of the throw when you move to 100% effort. After practicing on your knees and getting the hang of throwing a curveball, it's a good idea to try pitching while standing up so you can practice throwing with a fuller motion. This is a more realistic representation of how you will actually be pitching when you play. You don't need to start out at full effort level here, the most important thing is that you are standing up and preparing to use your lower body. This is a skill that takes hours and hours of practice but the results are incredibly rewarding. Always listen to your body if your arm is getting sore and take breaks as necessary. Sometimes videoing yourself pitching can help as you can pick up on errors you are making that you don't realize you are.
