Q: It is important to know how long the lump has been there and whether or not it has changed over time. When you first notice a lump, write down the date, location, and general shape of it. This will help your doctor assess the seriousness of the lump and whether it should be removed because it keeps growing. When you first notice the lump, measure it with a tape measure so that you can keep track of any growth. If you notice that the tumor has grown over the course of a month or 2, go to see a doctor to have it looked at, even if they have already looked at it in the past. It can be difficult to tell if there has been much growth because these sort of tumors grow very slowly. A lipoma tumor can start out as the size of a pea and grow from there. However, it will generally cap off at about 3 centimetres (1.2in)in diameter, so anything that grows larger than this might not be a lipoma. If you notice any unusual or new lumps on your body, you should always have them looked at by a doctor. Schedule an exam and tell them that you want to have a lump looked at. Once in the exam room, your doctor will ask you about your symptoms and they will feel the lump. In many cases, your doctor will be able to diagnose lipoma just by feeling the lump. However, they may want to do diagnostic tests to confirm their suspicions about the growth. Tests that your doctor may run include: X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and biopsy.
A: Write down when you noticed the lump. Watch the lump to see if it's growing. Have the lump looked at by a doctor.

Q: Look back over your essay and make sure one last time that your thesis makes sense and is arguable, and that your writing supports it. Editing at the end is a critically important step. While it can be tempting to consider yourself done once you have a draft, you can greatly improve your essay (and eventual grade) if you take some time to review it and make any necessary changes. Review your essay's structure, organization, and style. Make sure your paragraphs proceed in a logical way; move them around if they don't. Now is also the time to go back and edit any of your sentences for word choice, clarity, and grammar. If you're really pressed for time, then probably the most beneficial things you can do to improve your essay are to make a reverse outline and to revise your introduction. A reverse outline is a great, quick strategy to check the logic of your essay's structure. To do this, you create an outline from your finished draft, jotting down the main ideas of your essay paragraph by paragraph. The result will look much like an outline you would create before writing an essay, but you can use it to double-check your finished product. Editing your introduction can clarify your thesis and make your essay stronger. While you made your outline and began writing your essay with a certain idea of what your thesis or "point" was, that idea probably changed at least slightly as you wrote the essay itself. Go back to the intro after you have finished a draft of the essay and make any changes to the wording of your thesis based on what the rest of the essay says (the reverse outline will help figure this out). At the final stage of writing, do a quick check of your essay for any remaining spelling and grammatical errors. Electronic spelling and grammar checkers can help you out, but don't rely on them to do all the work. Always do a read-through before submitting your work. The most efficient technique for catching mistakes is to read your work out loud. Get someone you know and trust to proofread your work, if you can. A pair of fresh eyes can catch mistakes you might have overlooked. Print the essay if you need to. If you are submitting electronically, do everything you can to make sure the file type is correct and the file was received.
A: Reevaluate your essay's thesis and argument. Focus your editing if you are running out of time. Proofread your work. Submit your work on time.

Q: Start to change your ways, but start small. Picking a small manageable task is the best way to form a new habit. Pick one place, one situation to improve in. For example, you may choose to start by no longer cussing while driving, or in front of your nephew. Just pick one situation, and spend the first week avoiding cussing in that one. When you (or your helpers) do catch a cussing in this situation. Apologize and rephrase the sentence without any bad words. This may seem awkward, but practicing talking without cuss words is the only way you will get better. Consider creating a swear jar. With a swear jar, every time you swear you put a dollar in. Now, to make the swear jar really work, you need to really hate losing that money. And losing a dollar here or there just isn't painful enough emotionally to be a real deterrent. Especially if you give that money to a friend or a favorite charity. Instead slate the swear jar money for something you really hate, like a rival political party. If you are Republican, make a commitment to donate all swear jar proceeds to the Democratic party. If you are Pro-Choice, make a commitment to donate all swear jar proceeds to a Pro-Life group. Now that will really make you clean up your language. When you meet your goal for that week - for example, no swearing in front of nephew - reward yourself with something: a night out, a movie, a good book, a massage.
A:
Start small. Punish yourself. Reward yourself.
