Allowing the water to simmer will cook your sausages all the way through and keep them tender. The sausages will still look gray on the outside, but will have no pink tint on the inside. Any juices from the sausage will be clear. Turn the burner to high heat and allow the oil to gently simmer. They will not need to sit in the oil for long since they are already cooked. Once they have reached your desired golden color, remove them from the heat to avoid drying them out or becoming overdone. The sausages can be placed in the pan whole, cut lengthwise, cut in half, or cut into chunks.

Summary: Add the sausages to a large saucepan filling it with enough cold water to cover them. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the core temperature is at least 160F (71C). Grease the bottom of a separate pan with enough oil to coat it entirely. Place your sausages in the hot oil to sear them.

You should use the vaginal cream for the full number of days prescribed at the correct dose. Don't stop using the vaginal cream if you start menstruating. The vaginal cream will still be effective; it just may be a little messier to insert. Just make sure to use sanitary pads since tampons could absorb the cream. If you miss a dose or run out of the vaginal cream before your treatment is complete, call the doctor or pharmacist for a refill. Most vaginal creams are designed to be stored at room temperature. Check the information on the box or ask your pharmacist to be sure. Storing the cream at a temperature that's too hot or cold could damage it. It's best to store most medications in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing medication in a medicine cabinet since heat and moisture from the bathroom could cause it to be less effective or expire early.

If you need to use vaginal creams during the day, wear a sanitary pad to avoid staining your underwear and lay down for a few minutes immediately after you apply the cream, if you can. The side effects will vary depending on what medication is in the vaginal cream. In general, side effects may include vaginal discomfort, vaginal dryness, burning or itching and potentially messy discharge from the vagina. Be sure to read the information that came with the vaginal cream. This will give you more detailed information about the specific side effects you can expect. If any side effects are causing you discomfort or you feel pain, contact your doctor. If you experience swelling of the vagina and vulva area, itching, hives, or tightness of the chest, you may be having an allergic reaction so it's important to get medication attention. Always ask your doctor if you have any questions about using the vaginal cream. You should also talk with your doctor about whether or not you need to refrain from sexual intercourse while you use the vaginal cream.

Summary: Use the cream even if you start menstruating. Store the vaginal cream correctly. Apply the cream at night. Watch for side effects. Get medical attention if you feel discomfort.

Your parents will be much more likely to let you get a piercing if you show respect for the way they're raising you. You can do this by speaking politely to them, showing appreciation for the time they spend with you, and following their basic rules such as curfew and chores. The more you respect your parents, the more they'll respect your wishes. If you're meeting or exceeding your parents' expectations for you in school, they may be more open to allowing you the freedom to get the piercing.

Brushing your teeth, showering, and combing your hair regularly are good ways to show your parents that you can take care of yourself.

If you know someone who has a lip piercing, and is happy with it, ask them if they'd be willing to talk to your parents about the experience.

This isn't much different, and it just feels like a better way to express my style."
Summary: Work on respecting their rules. Do your best in school. Get in the habit of keeping your room tidy. Practice good general hygiene. Consider using a testimonial. Talk about the history. Explain that you are trying to express your true self.
