Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Follow up with guests who haven't responded yet. If necessary, facilitate a carpool. Follow up with the hosts, too. Try a test run between the houses.

Answer: You want an accurate count of guests, especially for the host who's handling the main course. You also want to make sure guests know what they're in for in terms of traveling and timing. A simple phone call or text works best for this. Say something like "Hi, this is Sarah, the progressive dinner its happening on Sunday at 7 and I would really love to see you there! Let me know if you can come." Get in touch with any guests who have a long way to travel or mobility restrictions and help them choose a vehicle and designated driver. Once you've got a headcount on the guests, be sure each host knows the final number and is still prepared to host their part of the meal. It's super-important to make the hosts feel included and appreciated. They are your collaborators, and they deserve support. Confirm that each home has appropriate seating for the number of guests attending. Having a few folding chairs on hand is a good idea. Ask hosts if they need help with nonperishable items, like dishes, ice, decorations, and playlists. Consider making a collaborative playlist on Spotify, Google Music, or Apple Music. You can make this for the hosts only, or open it up for guests to edit as well. After the party, it can be really nice to revisit this playlist as a reminder of good times. At the approximate time of day when the party is set to start, practice walking or driving in between the hosts' homes. Be aware of traffic, lighting, and other safety issues, so you're set to advise your guests if there's sidewalk repair happening on a dark block.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Warm up with low impact cardio activity before exercising. Gently exercise your shoulder as it heals. Stretch your shoulder on a regular basis.

Answer: As you work to return shoulder mobility, take an extra 5-10 minutes to warm up before engaging in any major exercising. Low impact activities such as walking or riding a stationary bike are ideal. This will help gradually increase blood flow to the muscles and prevent further injuries. As you feel able, start stretching and doing basic exercises to return strength and mobility to your shoulder. You may feel resistance when you first begin, but you should stop or reduce the difficulty of any activities that cause you pain. Some basic stretches and exercises include: Pendulum swings: Bend over at your hips and use your non-injured arm to support yourself on a table or chair. Allow your injured arm to hang down, and slowly perform easy movements in all directions for 1-2 minutes. Prone rowing: Lie on your stomach and bend your injured arm at the elbow. Squeeze your shoulder blade and lift your hand toward your armpit before returning to neutral. Repeat this for 10 repetitions. You can add a light hand weight for added resistance as you build strength. In addition to exercising your shoulder, it should be stretched daily to help maintain mobility as it heals. Stretches may be done during exercise sessions, or you may choose to do one or two stretches at different points throughout the day to help keep your shoulder limber. Some stretches may include: Flexion stretch: lie down on your back with your knees bent. Clasp your hands together and stretch your arms directly up then back over your head. Hold the stretch briefly before returning to neutral. Repeat this exercise 10 times. Posterior capsule stretch: Grab the elbow of your injured arm using your non-injured arm. Pull the elbow gently across the chest as far as possible. Hold for 10-30 seconds before letting go. Repeat this stretch at least 3 times. This will help stretch the back side of the shoulder.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Help him feel free. Be fun! Stay away from drama. Make him feel like a hero. Be passionate. Be you.

Answer: A lot of the time, guys are reluctant to date because they worry that they'll lose their freedom or their identity because this is something that our society tends to teach. Show him he doesn't have to worry about that with you by helping him to feel free. Encourage and help him to pursue his dreams, help him set up fun activities with his friends, don't hog his free time, etc. When we look for someone that we really want to get serious with, we're looking for someone who makes our life better, right? So of course your guy is looking for someone who makes his life (not necessarily exciting) but at least fun. Be the source of fun in his life. Go on fun dates, encourage him to try new things, and join in and encourage his passions in life. One real turn off for guys is the drama queen. You know the girl who constantly gossips, starts arguments and fights with other people, and generally complains and looks for flaws in everything? Don't be that. Stay away from drama and definitely try to minimize the drama that he's exposed to. Having an actual problem that he can help with is one thing, picking a fight with him about something petty is another thing altogether. Guys like to feel useful. They like to feel like they're your hero....so make them feel like they are! Let him help you with things from time to time. Ask for and take his advice with real or even just minor problems. He'll love the place that he has in your life because it will give him a sense of purpose that he might not feel anywhere or with anyone else. You should be passionate in your relationship of course, but you should also be passionate in your day-to-day life. Find enjoyment in what you do and pursue things that are important to you. Enthusiasm and joy in life are catching, and we tend to look for and stay with people who help us feel those feelings, so be that person for him by loving your own life. Most importantly, you should be you. Don't try to be the person you think he wants. When we try to pretend to be someone else, eventually the mask begins to crack and who we really are shines through. Even if he would have loved you for who you are, he may be hurt and resentful that you lied to him and you'll lose him anyway. Honesty is the best policy!
