Humans can't live without food, and neither can Furbys. You can finger feed them if you don't have the app, or just use the app to feed it.

The first pleat will help center the material, so it will end up being a little different from the other pleats. Fold roughly 6 inches (15.25 cm) of material underneath itself at the right side of the material. Pin in place at the waist. On the left side of the material, make a pleat that encompasses two setts. Secure with a safety pin at the waist. On a piece of cardboard or durable cardstock, mark the width of one sett. Divide this marked area into three to eight equal parts. Use your best judgment to determine how many parts to divide the pattern into. The center section will peek through the pleat, so your center section should include an appealing part of the pattern. Lay your cardboard guide above each sett as you fold it. Overlay the folded edge of each pleat over the part of the pattern that matches it in the set next to it. Secure in place with a safety pin. The cardboard guide should give you an idea of where to fold your first few pleats. After you begin folding, however, you may find that you do not need the guide since it should become a simple matter of matching the patterns together. Use a running stitch to catch the edge of each pleat, holding it in place at the bottom of the material. You should do two rows of basting. The first running stitch should be about 1/4 of the length up from the bottom of the material, and the second should be about 1/2 of the length of from the bottom. Use an iron with a steam setting to press the pleats in place, making them more durable and helping the pleats keep their form. Iron along each folded edge of each pleat. If your iron does not use steam, you can moisten a thin pressing cloth and place it over the pleats. Place this pressing cloth in between the iron and the material of your kilt and steam-press the pleats this way. Sew across the entire width of pleats and down each pleat along the fold. Sew a straight stitch with your sewing machine across the top of your pleats, roughly 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the upper edge. Sew a straight stitch with your sewing machine across the folded, ironed vertical edge of each pleat. Only sew about 4 inches (10 cm) of material. Do not sew all the way down each pleat. This pleating method can result in excess material, so you can trim this material off. Cut away excess material from the section starting 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the hipline and ending at the waist. Do not cut away material from the first and last pleats.

When you are recovering from depression it is especially important to get professional help in order to help ensure that the gloomy mood does not return, or that it is less severe if it does. Thus, if you have already been attending treatment continue working on your treatment plan. If you already have a therapist, discuss new goals that you'd like to work on. Make sure you follow through and continue attending your appointments. If you don't have a therapist to help treat your depression, try it. This can be useful even if you aren't currently feeling depressed. A therapist or psychologist can help you reduce the likelihood of worsening depression by using specific interventions, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which help to change your thinking to promote lasting well-being. Continue seeing your psychiatrist and taking medication as prescribed. Talk to a medical doctor about your health, diet, and exercise. Addiction can worsen the symptoms of depression, making recovery difficult. Whether it be substances, food, gambling, shopping, self-harm, sex, or eating disorders, you can get specialized addiction counseling. It may be necessary to treat the depression and addiction simultaneously, as depression and addiction are often closely linked. One way to seek help is to speak with your medical doctor, therapist, or psychiatrist. They can give you a referral for chemical dependency treatment. Some therapists even specialize in drug treatment. You can participate in outpatient treatment or inpatient treatment (drug rehab). You can also seek help by joining a 12-step group such as Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A) or Narcotics Anonymous (N.A). Recovery from any addiction takes time, but it will be worth it in the end and will help to support your overall health and reduce your depression. Sometimes during a bout of depression people can lose contact with important friends, family members, and other interpersonal relationships. However, social support is so important to maintaining a depression-free lifestyle, reducing the likelihood that depression will re-occur, and bouncing back from difficult life situations. Send an email, text, card or letter asking how your friend is doing. Focus on the positive things you're doing in your life, and ask questions. Phone a friend and invite her to meet up for lunch or a coffee. Social support, especially support from others that are in your same position, can be extremely useful in recovering from depression and continuing to maintain a healthy outlook. After a depression you may feel well enough to cultivate new relationships, especially if you have discarded damaging or unproductive friendships. By doing the things you are interested in, you may be able to meet people with the same interests and similar personalities. Join a church, club, sport team, community college, neighborhood center class, charity, etc. Try Meetup.com, which is a useful website for finding groups of like-minded people with similar interests. Some examples include: singles groups, hiking groups, acting troupes, and rock-climbing enthusiasts. Can't find the right group or club? You can start your own! Try starting a book club. Spread the word amongst friends and acquaintances, put ads up at local libraries, and ask everyone to bring a small plate to share. Or, you could start a fitness club and meet at a park and pay for a personal trainer, splitting the cost between the group. Whenever you receive a social invitation, try to say yes. The more times you say yes, the more invites you might receive. Also, for every time a friend invites you to do something, invite them to something the following week. This keeps the balance equal and you both feel valued.

Perpetual carnations can be encouraged to flower again by making sure they are watered during dry weather. This means watering them about every 5-7 days through the summer or perhaps every 3 days in very dry, hot weather. Also give your carnations regular feeds, pinch the stems and remove the withered flower heads. It's important to protect perpetual flowering carnations from frost. You can grow them under glass or in a polytunnel, but it's vital to keep them above 45F so you may need a source of heat, even in a greenhouse. Of course, you can also grow them as house plants. Avoid using manure or high-nitrogen fertilizers for carnations, as they won't bloom as well. Also keep in mind that you should never mulch carnation plants. If planted outside, you should add lime to the soil to improve the alkalinity, and use a fertilizer that isn't too high in nitrogen relative to other components, such as potash (potassium) and phosphorus. During the growing season carnations will need feeding regularly about once every two weeks with a weak solution of water-soluble fertilizer. Avoid slow release fertilizers or ones labeled 'granular'. These release nutrients too slowly to be of much use during the growing season.
