Article: If you have a wooden-framed window, pry off the frame and sash using a pry bar. Then take a reciprocating saw and cut between the wall studs and the frame. If you have a metal window frame that's rusted, determine if it was screwed or riveted in place. Unscrew it if you can or use a drill to remove the rivets. Then pull away the metal frame from the surrounding concrete. The wooden frame is also called a jamb while a metal frame is also called a buck. If the metal frame isn't rusted, you can typically leave it in place and replace just the window pieces. For a wooden window frame, measure the width and height of the frame. Use the inside measurements instead of the outside measurements since some window sills are sloped. If you're measuring a metal window frame, measure the height and width. If you didn't take the frame out, you can simply measure the size of the window. If you can't get an exact size, order a slightly smaller window that you can fill in with mortar. Use a bucket-type vacuum to suck up any dust or debris from the window opening. If you have a concrete or brick opening, check for ridges that will make it difficult to install the new window. To remove concrete ridges, use a hammer and cold chisel to chip away the excess mortar. If you don't want to chip away mortar ridges, consider buying a window that's smaller and won't need to be installed over the ridge. Take out the sash and screen from the new window to make it easier to get to the screw holes. Then carefully push the window into the opening. Use galvanized or stainless steel screws to screw the window in place. If you're screwing the window into concrete, you'll have to screw double-threaded concrete screws using a hammer drill. Check to see if your replacement window came with screw cover plugs and put them on if so. Now that you've replaced the window, look to see if the window is flush with the surrounding foundation. If there are any gaps, you'll need to use a filler to seal the gap. Consider using one or more of these: Mortar Mortar and brick or stone Caulk for the sides or top of the frame Urethane spray foam for under the will Custom-cut pipe insulation Put any of the window parts back in place. Once the mortar or caulk is completely dry, use a smooth trowel to smooth the mortar or caulk so it's flush with the foundation of the window. Read the mortar or caulk package to determine how long it needs to dry. Depending on the product, it may take a few hours to a few days to dry. If you're replacing a wooden window, you'll need to protect it from rain and the elements. Spread 1 coat of exterior-grade primer to the bare wood and let it dry according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once the primer is dry, decide if you want to paint the wooden frame to match your home's trim.

Article: Revenge might feel good for a moment, but it can have lasting consequences. Feelings of hurt can overtake you, leaving you bitter, angry, and hostile, but this doesn't mean you should retaliate. Don't meet him on a low level; be the bigger person and don't hurt him back. Disengage from this person and don't allow him back into your life. If you go to the same school, it might be more difficult, but cut as many ties as you can with him. Don't allow him to continue manipulating or using you. Create as much distance as you can. Delete his number from your phone, cancel connections with him on social media, get rid of his email address, stay away from places he might be, and don't talk to him. Being used is a painful experience. Remind yourself that you are worthy and valuable and no one has the right to treat you with disrespect. Recognize that not every guy is out to use people, and remember that good guys exist. You can use this experience to recognize your own inner strength and learn from the experience. No, this doesn't include blaming yourself, but it does mean you can be completely honest with yourself. Taking responsibility is different than taking blame. Taking responsibility means keeping yourself accountable and owning what actions may have contributed to a negative situation, but not assuming all wrongdoing in shame. It may be most natural to feel victimized and that you had nothing to do with being used (and this might be true). But also reflect on if there were any factors that you contributed that made you a target. It's okay to admit that there were things that contributed to what happened. This allows you to gain insight and learn from your mistakes. Perhaps you were desperate to have a boyfriend, and liked that he gave you attention, even though it wasn't always positive attention. Maybe you were vulnerable after exiting a previous relationship and wanted to be liked by a boy. Choose to forgive him, when you feel ready. Holding onto bitterness can affect your next relationships and make you feel untrusting toward other guys. Forgiving him releases you from your hurt and pain. It also releases the role he played in your life and allows you to move on without bitterness. Forgiving him doesn't mean you find his actions acceptable or that you're forgetting what happened, but it means you are allowing yourself the opportunity to heal from the experience. Choose to accept what happened between the two of you, then choose to not let him have any more power over you or your emotions. Stop holding on to the hurt and allow yourself to start healing. You may never choose to tell him you forgive him, but remember that forgiving him is for you, not for him. When you're ready, let go of him and the pain he caused you. Write down his name and what happened, including all the emotions you feel. Then, get rid of this paper in a way that is meaningful to you. You can flush it down the toilet, (safely) burn it, or tear it up. Writing down the hurt and pain and then disposing of it is a symbolic way of showing you are ready to move on and let go of the pain this caused.

Avoid getting even. Keep your distance. Learn from the experience. Take responsibility for how you may have contributed. Forgive. Let go.
Article: This will give you a chance to flirt before the movie starts. Since she's already agreed to go out on a date with you, you shouldn't be nervous at this part. Be yourself. A great way of initiating chemistry between her and you is to play an arcade game. Make eyes at her intermittently. Don't be overly competitive. A little bit can be cute, but if you take it too seriously, it could ruin your chances. It is a nice courtesy to offer to buy popcorn and soda for you two to share. If this is one of the first dates with this lady, you, the guy, should make the offer. Pick a seat that seems to be the most remote. Try somewhere in the back row or in a corner. The ultimate idea is to pick a seat that is not too close to other movie goers. Apply a thin layer of chapstick before your date to ensure your lips aren't chapped. Don't be too insistent in applying chapstick throughout the date. You might seem nervous or too anxious for a kiss. Keep your cool. You might have purchased a 24 oz. Coke, but just carry mints in your pocket anyway. You'll be glad to have them.

Plan to meet early. Play a game. Offer to buy refreshments. Choose your seat. Make sure your lips are smooth. Carry breath mints.
