Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wash your hands with soap and water. Gently cleanse the area you are treating with soap and water. Clean your tweezers and a sharp needle with rubbing alcohol. Find good lighting and a magnifying glass. Pull out the fiberglass fiber(s) gently with the tweezers. Squeeze the skin after all the fiberglass is gone. Wash the area again with soap and water.

Answer: Most people have bacteria and germs on their skin. However, these germs can cause an infection if they get under the skin through the nicks made by the fiberglass splinters. If the fiberglass slivers are in your hand(s), skip this step. You do not want to push the slivers deeper into your skin. Fiberglass splinters have a tendency to break. You do not want them to break off below the skin or be pushed deeper into your skin. Cleanse the area by letting soapy water flow over it, but don't rub or scrub the area. You could force fibers deeper into your skin. Pour water into any container, rub the soap in between your wet hands, and submerge your hands in the water. Repeat until the water is soapy. If your hands are the affected area, someone will have to do this for you. The same germs that are on your hands are on the skin around the fiberglass slivers. Once you begin to move the slivers around trying to remove them, there is a risk of infection if the germs get under the skin. Look for fine-tipped tweezers to make grabbing the fibers easier. Bacteria is on every object we use. The alcohol destroys these germs so that you do not put them under the skin as you try to pull out the fiberglass splinters. Rubbing alcohol or ethyl alcohol kills germs by dissolving their outer protective coating; they fall apart and die. Increase your chances of success with removing the fiberglass splinters by working in a well-lit area. The thin fiberglass fibers are a white or light yellow color. They can be hard to see when they are in your skin. Focus on the tips of the fibers and grasp them, then pull them slowly away from your skin. Try not to push them in deeper. Use a needle if this happens or if the splinter is already completely under the skin. Use a sewing needle that has been sterilized with rubbing alcohol to gently lift skin or break through skin if you can see the splinter just under the skin. Then you can use the tweezers to remove the fiberglass. Do not become frustrated if it takes several attempts to get the splinters out. They can be small. If the tweezers and needle truly are not effective, try using the sticky tape method. The bleeding can help wash out germs. This is another way to keep germs from getting under your skin. Pat the area dry. Apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin. You do not have to cover the area you worked on with a bandage.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Allow the chalk paint to dry before applying the wax. Smear the wax onto a paper plate. Mix your wax with mineral spirits if it is hard to work with. Dab a wax brush into the wax.

Answer: Annie Sloan wax is meant to give an extra sheen to furniture that has already been painted with chalk paint. Read through the painting instructions and apply several coats to your furniture before you begin waxing it. Aim for even coverage when using your chalk paint. Thin, level coats will make applying the wax easier. Scoop the wax onto a knife and put it on a paper plate. This will give you open access to the wax while you're using it and allow you to mix it with other products as needed. Although you can keep the wax in its packaging, you may not be able to mix the amount you need with mineral spirits. Mineral spirits are a type of paint thinner that can help make the wax more pliable. The ratio of wax to mineral spirits should be about 9:1. Add a small amount of mineral spirits to your wax and mix it in with your knife if is difficult to spread. When working with mineral spirits, read the label carefully and take all safety precautions that are directed on the label. The wax should lightly coat the tip of your brush. If you do not have a wax brush, you can use a lint-free cloth as an alternative. Wax brushes, however, will provide more even coats. Wax brushes can be purchased at most craft or hardware stores.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Open a template in Microsoft Word. Type your baby shower invitation wording. Change the font and color. Insert new pictures. Change background colors or borders. Proofread and save your invitation. Print the invitation on heavy cardstock.

Answer: To open an existing template, click File then New. Here you will find folders with existing Microsoft Office templates. Select Announcements and find one that is for baby showers or could easily be made into a baby shower invitation. If you don't find a satisfactory template already on your computer, you can download new ones online. Go to the Microsoft website to browse the templates they have to download and find one that you like and matches your vision for a baby shower invitation. Simply click the existing text boxes to enter them, delete the existing text, and type your own. Be sure to include the guest of honor, date, time, location, RSVP info, and gift registry information. Highlight the text you'd like to change. Then select the font, font size, and color you'd like. These options are under the Home tab at the top of the screen. If you like the font or color, you can keep it as is. However, if you had a specific color or font in mind, feel free to alter the font to your liking. If there are images you don't want, select them and press "Delete" or right-click and choose delete. To insert new images open the Insert tab, then click Clip Art which will have a lot of stock image and cartoon options. If you want to insert a photograph, select Picture then find the photo's location on your computer. Once your picture is added, you can choose to center it at the top of the invitation, or place it anywhere you wish. To change the color of the background, or a border, select the object, then open the Format tab. Change the "Shape Fill" or "Shape Outline" as you see fit. Make sure everything is correct. Then save the invitation by using the "Save as" option, so you will have it for future use, if needed. It's a good idea to set your invitation aside for an hour and then proofread. This will help you catch errors better. You can also have someone else proofread for you. Cardstock paper between 80lb and 110lb works best as it will make sturdy invitations. If your template only takes up half the page, you will need to cut your invitations in half.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pick up worms gently. Don't try to pull worms out of the ground. Put the worms into a dirt-filled cup. Keep worms alive.

Answer:
Use your fingers or a pair of long tweezers. If you use your fingers, pinch the worm carefully between your thumb and index finger. Use gloves, if you must, but understand that this will make it a bit harder to get a good grip on the worms. If a worm is halfway out of its hole, it isn't worth using force. Worms can tense their muscles powerfully at a moment's notice, effectively holding their bodies inside the hole. If you pull too hard, the worm will rip in half before it comes out of the hole. If you're determined, try digging around the worm so that you can pull it out in one piece. Try digging the chunk of hard soil out of the ground, then crumbling it apart until the worm has no place left to hide. Fill a cup, bucket, or other open container with a handful of loose, moist soil. Drop each worm into the soil as soon as you pick it up. You don't need a ton of soil just enough to keep the worms cool and moist. The best way to maintain a worm collection is to keep them in a patch of cool, moist soil. Consider building a soil-filled "worm box" or "bait box" to keep the worms in one place. Try keeping worms in your refrigerator: packed in moist soil within a small, sealed container.. Also consider creating (or purchasing a worm farm). Keep worms alive even if you plan to use them as bait. They'll make better bait if you put them on the line fresh. If they're alive, they'll wriggle in the water and attract fish more effectively.
