Pretend they're standing right there in front of you. Build their face and body in your mind's eye. Start with the basics: hair color, eye color, height, weight, etc. Then add more distinct features that make them unique, like a snaggle-tooth, a freckle pattern, or a faded scar If you need to, use photos or other images of random people for inspiration. Resist basing your imaginary partner on someone whom you know personally. You may end up feeling guilty, frustrated, and confused when they don't act like your imaginary partner. Give them a name. Come up with other basic information about them, like their birthday. Think of answers to typical questions that people ask each other when they first meet, like: Where did they grow up? Where do they live now? Where do they work or go to school? Do they have any siblings? Imagine their personal history. You know the name of their hometownnow ask yourself what happened to them there. Fill in the details of their background, such as: Were their parents ever married? Are they divorced? What sort of friends did they have growing up? What were they like in school? What sort of interests and activities did they pursue? What if any religion were they brought up in? Build an inner life for them. Give your imaginary partner their own imagination and tastes. Ask yourself what sort of thoughts occupy them now: What are their current interests? What are their hopes and dreams? What do they worry about? What do they wonder about? What values and beliefs do they hold dear? As you build their inner life with their own wants, needs, and beliefs, measure yourself by their standards. Imagine what they see in you. Ask yourself what it is about you that sets you apart from everyone else in their eyes. What do you both believe in? Where do you disagree? What needs of theirs can you fulfill?

Q: Put the bare-rooted phlox into boxes, buckets or pots and move them into the shade if you are transplanting on a hot, sunny day. Cover the plants with newspaper to help them retain moisture. Mist the roots and the newspaper lightly with water if the plants are still waiting to be planted after a couple of hours. Enrich the soil with organic compost if necessary. Phlox prefer rich soil with good drainage. Make sure the crowns of the plants are at ground level, and fill the rest of the hole with soil. This prevents moisture from accumulating on the leaves. Phlox grown in areas without enough sun or ventilation or with too much moisture are prone to powdery mildew disease. Space new plant clusters at least 3 to 5 feet (1 to 1.5 m) apart. You can space the divisions at least 10 inches (25 cm) apart if you are growing smaller clumps or single phlox in a row or border. Avoid getting the flowers and foliage wet.
A: Keep the new plant divisions cool and moist. Select sunny, dry, well ventilated locations in which to transplant the phlox divisions. Till the soil to a depth of at least 12 inches (30 cm). Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the root base of the plant. Put the roots into the hole. Space the divisions so that each plant receives good air circulation. Water your newly transplanted phlox at ground level.

Article: This is a delicate situation, so you'll want to do your best to keep your guests from getting defensive. Avoid making digs or being rude by saying things like, "Gosh, don't you have anywhere else to hang out?" Instead, say something like, "We've enjoyed having you here, Zach. I hope we can keep in touch," or "Thanks for coming, Lisa! Let's get together for lunch soon." Avoid requesting to keep in touch or meet up again if you truly don't have the desire to do so. In that case, simply say, "I'm sorry, but it's time for you to go." Sometimes, your guests may be upset about being asked to leave, even if you asked them nicely. This is a risk you're going to have to take when you feel strongly about getting them to go home. Remind them that you care about them, and that it's not personal. For example, say, "It's nothing personal, George, I've got a busy morning at the office tomorrow. Let's get together for drinks this weekend, though, what do you think?" You could also say, "Veronica, I see that you're upset, but please don't take this as a personal attack. We agreed that you could stay for one week, and it's been ten days. I can help you find an apartment that's available now, if you'd like." Make it clear from the beginning how long you'd like your guests to stay. Write a specific time on the invitation, such as "from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m." If you invite them over the phone or in person, mention when expect them to leave by saying something such as, "We'll need to wrap things up by 9 tonight because Gina's got an early work meeting." Alternatively, when guests arrive, you could say "The party's over at 11 tonight," or "We've got a busy schedule tomorrow, so it won't be a late night." When dealing with house guests, make your expectations clear by saying something such as, "You can stay with us for 2 weeks only," or "You'll need to find a different arrangement by the 1st of April." When you're ready for guests to leave, they may try to convince you to let them stay. However, if you're at the point of asking them directly, it's clear that you feel strongly about having your home to yourself. House guests might ask if they can stay a few more days or party guests might try to convince you that the night is still young. Be firm in your decision and repeat your request or reasoning if needed.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Be reasonable and respectful. Be prepared for them to be upset. Provide firm times for them to leave before the event. Don't let them change your mind.
