Problem: Article: Before you slice a mango, be aware that it has a large pit the shape of a giant almond in the center. Slice the mango as you would an apple, but take care to avoid the pit. Cut wedges into the mango that are no more than an inch thick. Once you're done slicing, you should have several slices of mango with the skin still on, and a pit that still has some skin on it. Here's what to do next: If you just want to eat the mango, pick up the slices by the skin and eat them. You can try to eat some of the looser skin around the pit, but don't eat the skin too close to the pit because it can be stubborn and will get stuck in your teeth worse than corn-on-the-cob. If you want to peel the mango, you can pick up the slices by the skin and gently scoop them out with a spoon. If the pieces aren't ripe enough for that, use a knife. Though cubed mango is a bit more versatile, fresh sliced mango can spice up many ordinary meals, from desserts to main courses. Make the most of your sliced mango by adding it to the following foods: Thai mango salad Sweet and spicy chicken Chicken with lime and cilantro Beef teriyaki Mango, corn, and black bean stew Mango and pineapple pie To do this, cut the mango into thin slices and dry the pieces to get dried mango. For a sour tang, mix the pieces in a ziplock bag with li hing mui powder, or a small amount of citric acid.
Summary: Slice the mango. Add the sliced mango to a variety of foods. Dry the sliced mango.

Problem: Article: Make sure to get a receipt in case you lose or damage the check; unlike a personal check, you can't simply tear it up and write a new one. The receipt will have the check number and date, allowing you to contact the bank in case you should lose the check for any reason. Be sure to keep your receipt in a safe place at least until the check has cleared. The bank has sophisticated ways of tracking your check, to be able to tell whether the check has been cashed or not. Databases can be searched for the check number, and, if it is not found, this tells the bank that the check has not yet cleared. Simply present your receipt at the bank for an update about whether your check has been cashed by the payee. If the check never reaches its destination for any reason, the bank can cancel the original check and resend payment. Check with the payee periodically in addition to the bank to see if the check has reached its destination. You can get proof of the check's having been cashed with a copy of the front and back of the check from the bank. A fee may be required for this service. In the event that the person who cashed the check is not the payee, the bank can get the money back and initiate criminal proceedings against the person who cashed the check illegally. Lots of fraud is committed via cashier's checks, so keep a close eye on your cashier's check to be sure it has reached its destination using the tracking tools the bank has at its disposal.
Summary: Get a receipt for your cashier's check. Track your check. Get proof of the cashed check.

Problem: Article: Although it can be hard, it is sometimes best to end a friendship that has become negative or toxic. If a person continues to hurt you, it's unhealthy to keep them in your life. Once you remove a negative relationship from your life, you'll be able to focus on the true and trustworthy friends that you still have. Tell this person that you no longer wish to be friends with them. Remain calm and keep your "goodbye" conversation simple. You don't owe them any explanation, but it will make you feel better to be honest with them and give yourself closure. If you're unsure of what to say, use this formula: "Because of _______, I no longer wish to be friends with you. Your actions hurt me and made me feel ______." Technology makes distancing yourself from someone more difficult, so don't leave any window open for them to hurt you even more. Unfriend / unfollow them so that you don't have to see any of their posts, or block them if they're doing things like harassing you. Don't check your ex-friend's social media accounts. You need to give yourself space from them, and checking what they post on social media might upset you. If and when you meet accidentally, stay calm and collected. If you have friends in common, it may be difficult to avoid each other. If this is the case, it's not fair to ask your friends to choose between you two. Instead, ask your friends to let you know if the ex-friend will be at a gathering, and avoid going if he or she attends. If you do see your former friend in public, keep your distance and ignore them. There is something to learn in every situation, and this is no different. Look at this outcome from a positive point of view, as opposed to a negative one. For example, you now know that this person isn't a real friend, so you don't have to let them hurt you anymore. Hopefully you've learned how to better deal with conflict and how to stand up for yourself. Learn from this experience. You should never treat a friend the way this ex-friend treated you. This goes along with the famous saying "Treat others as you wish to be treated."
Summary: Remove yourself from the relationship. Delete your friend on social media. Remain civil when you see each other. Self-reflect.

Problem: Article: Are you really still in love with him? If so, it might be worth trying to get him back, by showing him you still care and that you believe things will be better this time. Sometimes breaking up provides time for both people to realize that, more than anything, they just want to be together again. However, if you have any other reason for wanting your ex back, reexamine whether it's a good idea to try to rekindle the relationship. For example, if you want him back because you feel lonely without him, that's not a good enough reason to get back together. The lonely feeling will pass with time. Or if you want him back because you feel jealous thinking of him with someone else, think again before you decide to try to get back together. Post-breakup jealousy is normal, and this, too, will pass. If your ex boyfriend has started dating someone else, consider him off-limits. Don't become that person who won't leave her ex alone after he has moved on. If he's happy with someone else, you could end up hurting him, his new partner, and yourself by trying to interfere. It might feel temporarily lonely or even boring to be on your own after the end of a tumultuous relationship, but try to ride that feeling out instead of going back to your ex. On again, off again relationships tend to be based on unhealthy patterns that won't go away. Resist the temptation to jump right back in when you know you're better off without him.
Summary:
Make sure you want your ex boyfriend back for the right reasons. Think twice if he's already in another relationship. Stop trying to get your ex back if the relationship was toxic or abusive.
