Article: You cannot make your friends and family celebrate your birthday, but you do have control over what the disappointment does to you. Don't let it consume you, but don't ignore it either. Acknowledge that you are disappointed, and then move on with your internal dialogue. It is likely that your friends and family don't realize that you feel you had a bad birthday. Perhaps this is because they feel like they celebrated your birthday appropriately and your expectations were just higher, or perhaps birthdays are not as big of a deal to them. Either way, consider one of these conversation starters: "So I'm thinking I might schedule a massage since my birthday was last week." This should let them know that you were hoping for some more treats on your birthday. "Can you please help me organize a belated outing for my birthday?" There's nothing wrong with asking for help; in fact, this will not only let them know that your expectations weren't met, but will also ensure that the activities are exactly what you want to do! "I know we went out to dinner for my birthday, but I kind of feel like going dancing too. What do you think?" This is a subtle, but non-passive-aggressive, way of indicating that you enjoyed the birthday activities thus far but were also hoping for a little more fun before the day is over. Whether you consistently feel bummed about your birthday or this was the first year you had a bad birthday, learn from your experience and let that knowledge influence your entire year. Also try putting it into perspective: Is this birthday disappointment something that you will remember in 6 months? 3 months? Be thankful for all that you have! Happy Birthday!!

Article: Most chrome is simply plated with chrome, so you do not want to use harsh cleaners that could ruin the finish. Be very careful to clean with a soft cloth or small toothbrush because it will scratch easily. Dry the chrome with a cloth immediately to avoid watermarks. Clean chrome often to avoid tarnish. If some tarnish remains, clean it with a soft rag and vinegar. For rust, use a crumpled up piece of aluminum foil dipped in vinegar and lightly scrub. Rinse the vinegar and dry the chrome with a cloth.
