You could turn the kissing problem into a fun game to camouflage that you're really trying to change the way your partner kisses. Ask questions such as, "How do you like being kissed best?" Or "what's your favorite way to kiss?" And then describe your own answers. The goal here is not to seem critical, but rather to make it clear you're asking the questions to try to learn more about each other. It works both ways. Maybe there's something your partner wishes you would change when it comes to kissing too. This will help you learn that! You could tell your partner that you read in a magazine about a new way of kissing and ask if you can try it. Make it sound like it's a fun experiment or adventure. Say something like, "In the magazine, they mention that you should try to kiss gently, and without using too much tongue. It might be fun to try that." Keep it lighthearted, and tell your partner that you read this in a women's or men's magazine. Don't make it sound like you were seeking out the information, though. In this game, you mirror how each other kisses. Don't be critical, just suggest playing the game because it sounds fun. Here's how you play it. You kiss your partner a certain way, and then your partner has to kiss you back in exactly the same way, and so forth. You could say, "I love kissing you" before you play the game to put your partner in the right mood. Your partner should be able to figure out how you like to be kissed through playing this game.

One-sentence summary -- Use a question game. Refer to a magazine. Play the mirror game.

Q: Your future pet will definitely require at least a small financial investment -- think about all the supplies and food your new pet will need. Then create a budget to show your mom how much you think it will cost to maintain the pet. Factor in things like a living space for the pet, food, toys, and trips to the vet. Write down the costs for each aspect of owning the pet so you can present the cost to your mom. For example, if you wanted to get a pet rabbit, you would need a cage, a water feeder, and a food bowl for the rabbit. You would also need rabbit food and a vet check for the rabbit. Your mom may be reluctant to let you have a small pet because she is unsure whether or not you can take care of it. Show her you can by putting together all of your research into a written plan. Write down a daily or weekly timeline for what caring for the pet will look like. Talk about how you plan to make time to care for the animal. For example, you may write out a care plan where you come home from school on weekdays and feed the pet at a set time. You may then note when you are going to play with the pet during the week. On the weekend, you may spend more time playing and caring for the pet, including weekly cleanings of the pet's cage. You can really show your commitment to getting a small pet by saving money to cover the cost of the pet. This will show your mom that you are serious about wanting a pet and are willing to be financially responsible for the pet. Save money for all the things you will have to buy for the pet like a cage, wood chips, or pet toys. If you are too young to get a job, think about ways you can help out around the house, or see if there is a neighbor who would be willing to let you mow their grass or clean up for a little extra money. It can help to let them know you are saving for a pet. While you're working to prove you can handle a pet, it's extra important that you stay on top of your homework and chores. Your mom is unlikely to be convinced that you can care for a pet if you fall behind on responsibilities before you even get one. Commit to getting all your responsibilities done at home on time. Make sure your mom sees how hard you are working to get your chores done as well as your school work.
A: Create a budget for the pet. Make a care plan for the pet. Save money for the pet. Stay on top of your responsibilities at home.

Article: If you are not sure that you have actually sprained your thumb, it is helpful to know what symptoms to look for. These symptoms include: Sharp, pulsating and/or excruciating pain Swelling Bruising While you can sprain your thumb in a variety of ways, the most common causes of a sprained thumb include: Repetitive activities that involve the thumb and put excessive pressure on its joints. Sports like basketball, volleyball, and other sports where there is a good chance that the ball will put a lot of pressure on your thumb Contact sports like rugby and martial arts. Wrapping a sprained thumb does not only help stabilize the injured thumb, but also compresses it. Compression aids in stimulating the flow of lymph fluid, which carries important nutrients to the damaged tissues surrounding the injury. Lymph fluid also removes waste from cells and body tissues which is an important function during the tissue regeneration process. Wrapping the thumb also speeds the recovery process and keeps the injury from getting worse. In order to be completely effective, the bandage must be removed, the injury left to rest, and the bandage re-applied a few times a day. In this way, the lymphatic system can complete its evacuation of the injury site.

Article: If the symptoms do not subside within a few hours, consider seeking urgent medical advice. Though it's not a life or death situation, make the call, even if only for advice. The ER doctor most likely will give the patient Valium or Xanax and possibly a Beta-Blocker like Atenolol to calm the heart and the adrenaline in the body. If this is the first time they have had a panic attack, they may want to seek medical attention because they are frightened of what is happening to them. If they've had panic attacks in the past, however, they may know that getting emergency care will worsen their state. Ask them. This decision will ultimately depend on the individual's experience and your interactions with him or her. Panic attacks are a form of anxiety that should be treated by a medical professional. A good therapist should be able to pinpoint the panic attack triggers or, at the very least, help the individual get a better grasp on the physiological side of the situation. If they do begin it, allow them to proceed at their own pace. Let them know that therapy is not for kooks. It is a legitimate form of help that millions of people are a part of. What's more, a therapist may prescribe a medication that halts the problem in its tracks. The medication may not stop the attacks completely, but will surely lower the amount and frequency of them. You may feel incredibly guilty that you are the one freaking out during a friend's panic attack, but this is normal. Know that being alarmed and a bit scared is a healthy response to witnessing one of these episodes. If it'd help, ask the person if you can talk about it later, so you can handle it better in the future.
