Q: Good conversationalists make this easy, but even with closed off people, you can learn to find doors to open into other topics and avenues, looking for a personal connection that can give you something to really talk about together. It's kind of an art, but there are some tricks to developing it in yourself. Ask about someone's history with a particular subject. If someone mentions going running, ask them how long they've been running, whether or not they enjoy it, where they go running, and other associated questions. Ask about someone's opinion of a particular subject. If someone mentions working at Burger King during high school, ask what it was like. Solicit their opinion. Always be following up. There's no problem in following up someone's short answer with, "Why's that?" or "How?" Smile, to avoid seeming like you're prying, and that you're actually just curious. People like to talk about themselves, so don't be afraid of soliciting their opinions and doing a little probing into their mind. While some people who are more guarded may be reticent to talk, others will enjoy being able to share their opinion with someone who is generally curious. You can always back-track if you need to, and say, "Sorry, I don't mean to pry, I'm just curious." Don't be silent while you think of answers to questions you've been asked, just start paraphrasing what the other person has said and let yourself start talking. If you're a generally shy person, it's likely that you're overthinking what you say before you say it, and often it'll come out just as well, if not better, the less you censor yourself, and the more you just allow yourself to speak. Lots of people worry about "sounding dumb" or that they're going to not say the "right" thing, but this usually results in unnatural speech patterns and awkward timing in conversations. If you want to be more talkative, practice responding, even if you're not positive what you're going to say. Sometimes, a subject will just die out, and then awkwardness can quickly set in. If you don't have anything more to say about a particular subject, don't be afraid to hop to something else, even if it doesn't necessarily follow. If you're having drinks and talking about football, and then football dries up, gesture to the drink and ask something like, "How is that? What's in it again?" Talk drinks for a while while you think of other subjects. Talk about what you want to talk about, and what you know a lot about. Things that you're very knowledgeable about are interesting to other people, at least people who are worth talking to. If you run out of things to talk about, it's good to have a pretty good grasp of current events, common topics, and big headlines, so you can talk about something that your conversation partner is likely to have heard of, and you can find common ground. You don't even have to know a lot about topics to engage in conversation. Say something like, "What's the deal with this new Senate controversy? I haven't really heard specifics. Have you?" You don't have to be a man to fall into the "mansplaining" trap. Never assume that the person you're talking to doesn't know anything about a topic, even if it's obscure, or very specific, or it may come off as condescension.
A: Look for open doors in the conversation. Don't be afraid to go deep. Think out loud. Don't be afraid to switch topics. Stay informed about current events.

Article: Roll them into crumbs, using a rolling pin. You should have about 1 1/2 cups of crumbs when finished. If you don't have a rolling pin, get creative. A can of cooking spray or a bottle of wine (or heck, a shoe) gets the job done. So does the food processor, for the record. Don't scorch it! You need all of it to keep your crust together. Blend until the texture resembles coarse meal. It should be one uniform consistency after a minute or so of mixing. If you'd like, add the nutmeg, cinnamon, or allspice at this step. Just a generous sprinkling or two will do! Voila! Your homemade graham cracker pie crust. But as you probably know, you could just also buy a pre-made one from the store -- but where's the fun in that? Try to make the crust about 1/8 inch (1/3 cm) evenly all around. If the crumb mixture won't stick properly, adding a tablespoon of water to the mix will help. Make sure there are no gaps or holes in the crust! Then remove the crust from the oven and refrigerate until well chilled. You need the time to prepare the filling anyway.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Preheat the oven to 375F/190C. Put the graham crackers in a plastic bag. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Combine graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Press into a pie pan. Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes.

Q: Wear cotton and natural fibers throughout the day. Your underwear should be 100% cotton. When you exercise, wear a synthetic material (like nylon or polyester) that wicks away moisture and dries quickly. Your clothing should always feel comfortable. Try not to wear materials that are coarse, scratchy, or trap moisture (like wool or leather). The clothing around your legs should be loose enough to let your skin stay dry and breathe. Your clothing shouldn't feel tight or pinch your skin. Clothing that is too tight will rub against your skin, causing chafing. Most rashes between the legs are caused by chafing or an overgrowth of yeast. Uncontrolled or high blood glucose (sugar) in a Type 2 Diabetic can also cause an overgrowth of yeast. Chafing normally happens along the inner thighs (panty crease line is usually the starting point and then the rash spreads out across the thigh), the groin, the underarms, under the breasts and under the belly or in between rolls of skin. Sometimes it can also occur at or around the nipples (especially for breastfeeding or lactating women, if this occurs please have a Dr. also check your baby's mouth for thrush aka a yeast infection!) If chafing isn't treated, it can become inflamed and infected. Always keep moisture off of your skin, especially after you've taken a bath or shower. Take a clean cotton towel and gently dab at your skin. Rubbing could irritate the rash. You could also use a hair dryer on the lowest setting to completely dry the rash area. Avoid using high heat which can aggravate the rash. It's important to keep the area dry and free of sweat. This is because sweat is high in minerals that can make your skin rash even worse. Most rashes caused by chafing can be treated at home without medical intervention. But, if your rash doesn't improve within 4 to 5 days or gets worse, call your doctor for an appointment. This is especially important if you suspect your rash is infected (if you have fever, pain, swelling, or pus around the rash). Removing friction from the rash, keeping it clean, and lubricating the area should give you some relief within a day or two. If you're not starting to feel better by this time, talk with your doctor. Your doctor will do a physical examination to see if your rash shows lesions. If your doctor thinks you have a bacterial infection, your doctor will probably order a culture. This test will tell your doctor what strain of bacteria or fungus is causing your infection and what treatment is needed. Your doctor may prescribe one or more of the following: Topical antifungals (if caused by yeast) Oral antifungals (if the topical antifungals don't treat the rash) Oral antibiotics (if caused by bacteria) Topical antibiotics (if caused by bacteria) White Vinegar and Water (mixed half and half) apply with gentle dabs after carefully bathing the area. Then apply rash, jock itch, or yeast infection medicine if needed.
A:
Choose clothing that breathes. Wear loose clothing. Keep your skin dry. Know when to see a doctor. Follow your doctor's treatment recommendation.
