Problem: How to encourage your friends to contact you more
Let people know you're down for anything.
You may not get contacted if people think you're not interested in certain events or activities. Try to let people know you're interested in trying new things. OPTIONS:
- This way, when someone wants to hit up a new bar or try a new restaurant, you're more likely to get an invitation. When a moment comes in conversation to show you're interested in trying new things, take it.
- It may help if you post your own tips on social media or a blog. This way, the people can appreciate your pull for those activities while also respecting your interests and values.
- For example, try to invite people to a thing you're interested in, like a dance class or play club that's happening up in the school. If you already know people, don't worry if they think you're not interested in that particular event.
- Keep a journal if you happen to be inclined. Jot down some physical information about yourself.

Answer: This way, when someone wants to hit up a new bar or try a new restaurant, you're more likely to get an invitation. When a moment comes in conversation to show you're interested in trying new things, take it.

Problem: How to use a pull buoy
Select a pull buoy that feels comfortable and is the right size for you.
Buoys come in small and large sizes, and you will need to try them out in a store to see what feels the most natural for your body type.
Immerse yourself in the pool before using a pull buoy. OPTIONS:
- Once you are in the water, put your arm or hand through the opening of a pull buoy. Dip your head into the pool and sit in the water for a short 15 minutes.
- This will help you get your balance before trying to float and make it easier to place once you are prepared to swim. Place the buoy between your thighs.
- While the pool is relatively shallow, you will be able to see the water ripple back and forth. Immersing yourself in the water will also help the water bubble up and you stay submerged when you need to quickly get out of the pool.
- You will need to fully immerse yourself in the shallow water when starting and when you attach your tow rope. The water should ideally be about an inch deep.

Answer: This will help you get your balance before trying to float and make it easier to place once you are prepared to swim. Place the buoy between your thighs.

Problem: How to grow rhubarb
Determine whether you're in the right growing zone.
Rhubarb is a cool-season plant that requires temperatures that drop below 40 f (4 c) in order to stimulate growth. The northern states in the us as well as canada are good places to grow rhubarb. OPTIONS:
- Check your growing zone to find out if you can grow rhubarb in the climate where you live. Rhubarb grows best in usda hardiness zones 3-8.
- The climate is drier in those places and you can technically harvest, but it will grow faster. Rhubarb grows best in areas with wide open spaces that are roughly 50 square feet (and even less room for other plants).
- Keep in mind that rhubarb can get too heavy if you plant it in the ground (or in a pot). You may want to plant it in your ground, rather than simply dig a hole in the ground where it will be active.
- However, if you live in a cooler climate and want to grow your rhubarb, you will need to make sure it's 100% nitrogen-rich. Rhubarb is best grown in regions where temperatures in winter are relatively low.
