article: If you used natural stone or porcelain tiles for your project, you may not have to buy a special trim. Before you install these tiles along the edge, commission a trained professional to grind your tiles into a bullnose. You can try to do it yourself, but you will need to purchase special equipment and make room for mistakes. Examples of natural stone include granite, marble, and travertine. A bullnose is where the sharp edge has been ground into a smooth, curved edge. This is another alternative to buying special trims, but you have to do it before you install your tile edges. Keep in mind that this option is not very durable, so it is not recommended for surfaces that will see heavy use, such as stairs. Simply cut sides of the edge tiles with a tile saw. Some tile saws even have a beveled edge, which will make creating the angle even easier. A mitered edge is where the sharp edge has been ground at a 45-degree slant. the edges if you want to keep things simple. This is a third alternative to buying trim tiles. It works best on tiles that have smooth, finished edges, such as mosaic and tumbled stone. Some porcelain tiles may also work. Once you finish grouting the tiles, use a caulking gun or syringe to apply a thin line of caulk to the outside edges of your tiled surface. Caulk is great for bathrooms, where a water-tight seal is important. This method is not recommended for tiles with raw, coarse, or unfinished edges. This works best on porcelain tiles so that the finishes will match. You will have to commission someone to do this for you, unless you have access to ceramic glaze and a kiln. Painting the tiles with regular acrylic or latex paint is not recommended because it is not durable.

Use a small shovel or hoe to work the mix around vigorously, making sure that the mix is distributed uniformly and even colored. Form a crater with the shovel and pour the water inside. Use the shovel or hoe to pick the dry mix from the edges and throw it to the water in the center. Let it mix for 3-5 minutes and let it sit another minute."
article: The pile should look like a small mountain. Roll and pull the bag to empty the cement. If the mix is not evenly distributed the mortar won't have the right consistency. The water will begin to sink and soak through the mix. Keep adding extra water as necessary to make sure it stays nice and wet. Mix thoroughly to distribute all the ingredients evenly. Some brands like Quikrete call for a resting period to let the particulate get moist, making the mortar more effective. Transporting the mix into a wheelbarrow or buckets tends to take care of this resting period for you, though. It's important to not let it sit around too long or it will become stiff. Likewise, over-mixing tends to dry out the mix and decrease its working life. A good way of checking the consistency is to "snap" the trowel. Scoop up some mortar on your laying trowel and flick your wrist downward to flatten it against the flat side of the trowel, then turn the trowel 90 degrees. If it stays without sliding off, you've got good mud.

If you have a sarcastic comment you can deploy in many different situations, practice it regularly on different people to memorize it. For instance, when someone asks a common question like, "What's up?" you might reply with "The sky." The frequency with which you should practice your sarcastic comments depends on the strength of your memory. If you can memorize the sarcastic comment after practicing it two or three times daily, there's no need to practice it more than that. If you need to practice your sarcastic comment more often before you can memorize it, do so. If your comment regularly gets eye-rolls, don't use it anymore or use it less often. If you have a go-to sarcastic comment that seems to be a big hit, work it into regular use. Remember, even good sarcasm can be overused. The best sarcastic answers or comments will draw on your deep knowledge of your audience and their preferences, attitudes, and beliefs. Think carefully about how you can work your immediate situation and the conversation of others into a clever, sarcastic comment. For instance, imagine you and your friend Joe are big fans of the Hulk. If Joe accidentally breaks a bunch of fragile dishes, you might say sarcastically, "You saved the day again, Hulk!" Spending time listening to people who are well-practiced in sarcasm will help you be more sarcastic, too. Pay attention to when and how they utilize sarcasm. Listen to the inflection in their voice and the facial expressions they use when being sarcastic. Being sarcastic takes time, focus, and experience. As you exercise your sarcasm "muscles," you will become better at being sarcastic. Keep trying to use sarcasm, even if you tell a few jokes that others think are not very funny.
