Article: There may be a legitimate reason why they didn't respond. Casually bringing it up gives them a chance to explain. At first, give the person the benefit of the doubt, and ask in lighthearted ways: So you've been too busy with your cat grooming business to text me lately, huh? What's up with your response time? It's like texting with a dial up computer. If the person is being evasive or not giving a legitimate answer, you may need to be more direct. Know that this can make people feel uncomfortable and create tension in relationships. So gauge how close you and this person are, how serious your communication usually is, and whether it would be appropriate to be direct. If this is a real frustration for you, then bringing it up directly creates an opportunity for understanding you wouldn't otherwise have.Ask more directly: Why don't you respond to my text messages? Why does it take you so long to respond to my text messages? When dealing with conflict it's important to approach things with an attitude that it can get better. So expressing understanding through your posture, voice, and choice of words are important. Equally important is understanding other people's style of communication. For instance, a professor may say, "I have no clue what you are referring to," while a surfer would say, "No clue, dude." Being able to appreciate the meaning and not just the register will help you to better understand others. Sometimes we can run into criticism, defensiveness, contempt, and other emotions that block real communication. When you become aware of yourself doing this, take a deep breath and try to relax and open to understanding. Limited to electronic devices, we tend to think of texting as separate from other forms of communication. Ultimately though, it's still two or more humans sharing thoughts, feelings, actions, and intentions. And so when there is a problem in communication between you and someone else, it follows that texting will be difficult in its own way. Listen to the other persons perspective and try to see why they feel how they do. It's possible they have a legitimate frustration and you could benefit from changing your behavior. Possibly they are actually focused on something they did and doesn't respond because of that. Either way, airing the circumstances will guide you back toward healthy communication. If there are apologies that need to be made on either side, be kind and say or listen to what needs to be said. After all it is only texting, so on another hand, there's no need to take it too seriously.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Since rubber band balls are all about the challenge anyway, why not make it a little harder? Try expanding your ball without paying for any rubber bands. Here are a few places to look for them: Ask friends and neighbors for spares. Ask postal workers, newspaper delivery people, and other door-to-door delivery workers. Look in shoe stores, which may use rubber bands to hold the shoe boxes closed. If you don't twist the rubber bands, they lie flat against each other, with no room for air. This makes the densest, bounciest ball. The trick to this is finding each new rubber band exactly the right size, so there's no slack when you loop it around the ball once. Rubber band balls are extremely dense, so after a certain point they'll be too heavy to bounce without breaking something. After that, the challenge is to make it as large as possible. You can even beat the world record, if you can find 700,000 rubber bands. Once the ball is about the size of a basketball, wear safety goggles. Plenty of rubber bands will snap after this point, and you don't want them hitting your eyes. Rubber bands decay over time. To stop it shrinking or breaking apart, your project will need regular reinforcement.

SUMMARY: Find all your rubber bands for free. Make a ball without twisting any rubber bands. Make it massive.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Hold the head of the razor under a powerful stream of water. If it's necessary to remove the blade in order to clean it, do so very carefully. Direct the water over the backside of the head, where it will help flush out hair, shaving cream residue and other gunk that's stuck on the blade (or blades). It may help to rotate the razor as you rinse to help the water hit it from different angles. Hot water works better than cold for loosening dried messes. Most of the time, a simple rinse is all you'll need to renew your razor blades. Once you're removed as much buildup as possible, set the razor aside somewhere out in the open to dry. It's best to leave it in a well-ventilated space where it can be exposed to constant airflow. You can then put the razor away in its usual storage area. Prolonged exposure to moisture can cause rust to form on the blade, which is both a safety concern and makes for a far less efficient shave. Water-logged razors can also lead to unsanitary mold growth. Accelerate the drying process by dabbing the blade with an absorbent microfiber towel or blasting it with a hair dryer on a low heat setting.
Summary: Rinse off the razor blade. Allow the razor blade to dry completely.
