article: There is a learning curve with any new text input interface. To learn how to type quickly on a computer keyboard, most people need time to become accustomed to it, and the same is true for your phone's texting software. You might find that the swiping style is quickest and most reliable, or you may find that you touch type your messages quickest. If there are a few different styles for texting on your phone, you'll likely want to give each a try for at least a couple of days. This way you'll have time to learn the pros and cons for each while getting the hang of the style of input. . To quickly express ideas and thoughts through text, many people use shortened forms of words. Some of these will be evident right off the bat, like the use of the letter "u" to represent the word "you." Others may be less obvious, like the use of "pbb" to indicate "probably." Some common texting shorthand includes... to/too = 2 for = 4 your/you're = ur are = r be = b be right back = brb talk to you later = ttyl by the way = btw see you later = c u l8r heart/love = <3 oh my god = omg never mind = nvm / nm I don't know = idk ta ta for now = ttfn just kidding = jk best friend forever= bff no problem = np thank you = ty While learning anything new, it can be easy to get discouraged. This can lead you to giving up or trying with halfhearted effort. It may be daunting at first, but texting with your friends and family members regularly will only improve your speed. When you come across a text expression you are unsure of, don't be afraid to ask! Some communities use less common texting expressions that may be confusing. For example, gamers will often use the expression "FTW" (for the win) to express appreciation or admiration.

article: Cotton sheets are great year round. But if you find that you need a little more heat during the winter, consider getting flannel sheets. They are soft, warm, and will keep you nice and insulated. Other materials that hold heat well are wool, fleece, and silk. You can find a wide variety of sheets at home goods stores, department stores, and online. One benefit to buying sheets in person is that many stores have samples of the fabrics for you to feel. This will help you to get an idea of what will work best for you. Down comforters are typically much more expensive than other blankets. However, you might find this to be an investment worth making. There are several different weights of down comforters. The heavier ones are meant to keep you warm on cold nights. If you end up liking the down, you can find a lighter version for summer. If you are allergic to goose down, there are synthetic options available. Pillow can also insulate you and keep you warm. Use several pillows to pile around you to make sort of a fort or igloo. This barrier will help keep your body heat in. You'll need at least 3-4 extra pillows to make this effective. Make sure to give yourself enough space to move around as you need to in your sleep. Sometimes the most traditional methods still prove to be some of the most effective. Hot water bottles might be considered old-fashioned, but they get the job done. Purchase a silicone hot water bottle at your local drugstore or online. Each night before bed, fill it with water that you have heated on the stove. Use a wool or flannel sleeve to cover your bottle. That will make it more comfortable to have in bed with you. Pop it under the covers with you and enjoy the warmth! Electric blankets are a great way to add some extra heat to your bed. These are full size blankets that you use in addition to your sheets and comforter. Choose one with an adjustable heat setting so that you can set the temperature to your liking. Try a heated mattress pad. These are similar to an electric blanket, but go underneath your sheets. Make sure to carefully read the directions and follow the safety tips. Turn the blanket off before falling asleep.

article:
Turn the balance wheel at the right side of the machine, doing so until the needle reaches its highest position. Note that the machine should be turned off at this point to minimize the risk of injury or damage. Only turn the balance wheel toward you, moving it counterclockwise. Do not turn it away from you. If necessary, raise the presser foot lever at this time, as well. Open the shuttle cover and lift the bobbin case out of the machine by pulling on the bobbin case latch. The shuttle cover should be located behind the extension table and on the front of the machine. Pull the bobbin case latch toward you. You should feel the case loosen from within the machine. Continue pulling the latch toward you to remove the case from the machine completely. Slide the bobbin into the bobbin case and slip the bobbin thread tail through the slot in the case. Unwind roughly 4 inches (10 cm) of thread before placing the bobbin in its case. This is the tail of thread you'll need to work with in this step. Hold the bobbin case so that the hook of the latch rests on your thumb. Hold the bobbin so that thread appears to wrap around in a clockwise rotation. Slip the bobbin into its case with the tail of thread hanging out. Pull the tail of thread into the natural groove of the case, sliding it until it fits under the spring clip and through the thread guide hole (delivery eye) of the case. Hold the bobbin case by its latch again, then insert it back into the machine. Release the latch after the bobbin case locks in place. The latch of the case should fit into the notch at the top of the shuttle race inside the machine. If loaded properly, the case should not be able to move around inside the machine. Turn the balance wheel at the right side of the machine, moving it toward you (a counterclockwise rotation). The needle must sink into the base of the machine and rise back up to its highest position again. Firmly hold the end of the upper needle thread with your left hand while turning the balance wheel with your right, applying a light amount of tension to that thread in the process. Do not turn the balance wheel away from you (a clockwise rotation). If done correctly, the upper thread should catch the lower thread during this process, bringing the lower thread out from the base of the machine in a large loop. Use your finger to carefully catch the loop of thread you just pulled up, breaking open the loop in the process. You should see two separate tails of thread: one extending from the needle (the upper thread) and one extending out from the base of the machine (the lower thread). Pull on both threads separately until you have a 6-inch (15-cm) tail of each. Position both tails so that they extend out toward the back of the machine. Both threads should fall straight behind the presser foot. The upper thread should pass in between the toes of the presser foot. Read through the steps again and check the way that both the top and bottom threads have been prepared. If everything was done correctly, the machine is now threaded and should be ready to use.
