Q: When your girlfriend tells you that she's pregnant, you should remember that the situation will affect her more than anyone else. Let her say what's on her mind before you talk. She may want to express her feelings, which can range from shock to denial to joy, or a mixture of many emotions at once. If your girlfriend tells you she's pregnant, and doesn't really say anything else, she might be looking for a sign that you care. Show her that you do and give her a chance to express herself by asking something neutral like "How do you feel about it?" Take a deep breath before responding to what your girlfriend tells you. Don't freak out, yell, say it's her fault, say that your lives are ruined, or anything else overly dramatic. Recognize your own emotions. You might be confused, excited, angry, happy, or feel a combination of all of these. It's ok to tell your girlfriend what you are feeling. Assuming that you will try to be supportive of your girlfriend, you should react by showing that you care about her and the situation, and will support any decision she makes. Saying something reassuring like "This is really big news, but don't worryI'm going to be there for you and help you with whatever you need" can be meaningful. This is especially true in cultures where pregnancy can bring shame to the family and lead to the girl getting ostracized. If you want to be supportive of your girlfriend, then don't run away or hide from her. Be there when she needs to talk, and make sure she can easily contact you when you're apart. Keep in mind that she might need to talk more about the pregnancy later on, even after she first shares the news. As soon as your girlfriend thinks she is pregnant, she should take steps to make sure. If she hasn't already by the time she tells you, she can start by taking a pregnancy test, which she can get at a pharmacy or many other stores. If the pregnancy test shows "positive" or "pregnant," your girlfriend should still see a doctor to make absolutely sure. A doctor can run tests to verify that she is pregnant, and give an ultrasound to make sure the pregnancy is viable. If your girlfriend is pregnant and she wants to have the baby (either to parent it or to offer it for adoption), it is important that she see a doctor, who can help her and the fetus (unborn baby) stay healthy and safe during pregnancy.
A: Listen to your girlfriend. Stay calm. Let her know you care. Keep in contact with your girlfriend. Make sure she is pregnant.

Q: If you have a dried blood stain on your mattress, apply a cornstarch paste to the surface to draw it out of the fabric. In a bowl, mix half a cup (250 ml) of cornstarch, one tablespoon of salt, and one quarter of a cup (125 ml) of hydrogen peroxide. Test the mixture on a small, hidden portion of your upholstery to see if discoloration occurs before using. Using a small spatula or spoon, apply a thick layer of the paste to the stain. Let the paste sit for 3-4 hours (or overnight) until it dries into a crust. If you have pets or children, do not leave the treated area unsupervised. When the mixture has dried, gently chip off as much of it as you can with a blunt spoon. Using a brush and dustpan, sweep away fragments of the dried mixture. Use a vacuum with a hose attachment to remove remaining bits of the cornstarch mixture that may have been embedded into the fabric.
A: Make a cornstarch paste. Apply the paste. Remove the mixture.

Q: Figure out what it is that you want to make with chunky yarn. If you're still a novice, it would be best to find an actual pattern to work from. If you are a more advanced crocheter, then you may be able to create something without a pattern. Choose patterns that are meant for chunky yarn. You will not get the same results if you try to use chunky yarn with a pattern that is meant for non-chunky yarn. Also, make sure that you use a hook size that is appropriate for the type of yarn you are using. Gauge refers to the number of stitches you will need to form a 4-inch by 4-inch (10-cm by 10-cm) square using a certain type of yarn. To determine the exact gauge of your yarn, crochet a 4-inch by 4-inch (10-cm by 10-cm) square. When working with single crochet, a 4-inch (10-cm) square made with chunky yarn will typically consist of 8 to 11 stitches. For super chunky yarns, a 4-inch (10 cm) square of single crochet would consist of 5 to 9 stitches. For simple projects, like scarves and blankets, precise gauge measurements are not as important to note. For more advanced projects, like sweaters and socks, you will need to know the gauge of your yarn to prevent the final piece from being too small or too large to fit properly. Not all stitches work well with chunky yarn, so it is a good idea to test your stitches before you get too far into a project. Crochet a 4-inch by 4-inch (10-cm by 10-cm) square to test the stitch. Some stitches that work well with chunky yarn include: Basic stitches like single, double, and half-double crochet V-stitch Herringbone half-double crochet Back loop only crochet stitches Post stitches Puff stitch Bobble stitch Broomstick lace
A: Choose a pattern. Identify the gauge range of your yarn. Test your stitches.

Q: Creating the zippered face makeup look is easy, but you do need some special items to do it. Before you get started, you will need: Zipper Scissors Liquid latex Makeup sponges Cotton balls, squares, or rounds Red face paint Red eye shadow and/or lipstick Skin safe adhesive Petroleum jelly You can use bits of cotton fluff to help you create texture on your skin. This will give your skin a lumpy, bumpy appearance that will be more realistic than smooth red skin. Pull apart a cotton square, ball, or round and set the cotton pieces aside. You will use them when you apply the liquid latex to your skin. Petroleum jelly mixed with a bit of red lipstick will help you to create a shiny finish on your skin. This will make the red textured makeup appear more realistic, as if the wound is fresh. You can also add in a little black or brown eyeliner or eyeshadow to darken the color.
A:
Gather your materials. Pull apart a cotton square. Mix red lipstick with petroleum jelly.
