Q: Heat can ignite gasoline, so take special care to keep it in moderate, cool temperatures at all times. Do not store a gas can in sunlight, or near a heater, stove, or any direct heat source. Ideally, a gas can should be stored outside of your home and somewhere cool and dry like a garage or tool shed. Whether you are filling gas into a car, lawnmower, generator, or other machine, you should be careful and precise. Remove the gas cap of the machine you are refilling and set it aside. Then open the vent first on your gas can to relieve any pressure inside. This is done to prevent gasoline from travelling up the spout and spraying all over the place. This can happen when opening the gas can while the spout is submerged in the gas. Insert the nozzle into the gas tank and pour very slowly to avoid an overflow. Be sure to close both the cap and nozzle tightly when you are done. Gas cans should be stored somewhere secure and locked, if possible. Gasoline can be very dangerous if inhaled or ingested by children or animals. Kids and pets may also cause a spill or accident that could result in the gasoline igniting. Avoid storing gasoline for longer than a few months. Over time, gasoline can expand or wear down the gas can, increasing the risk of an accident. Purchase only as much as you need immediately, or a small amount more, to avoid having leftover gasoline in storage.
A: Keep your gas can somewhere cool, preferably outside of your home. Move slowly and carefully when filling up a machine. Keep kids and pets away from gas cans. Use gasoline in the same season that you buy it.

Q: Effectively disputing a hospital bill requires that you know exactly what you are being charged for. Preserve every bill that you receive from the hospital. Also hang onto bills from medical centers, labs, and the doctor's office. When a hospital bills for medical care, the bills are often incredibly vague and wordy. Also, you may receive multiple bills for one procedure or visit. Oftentimes you will get separate bills from surgeons, hospitals, medical groups, specialists, and other physicians. Finally, it is not uncommon to receive a bill six to eight months after treatment. Be aware of all of these things when collecting your medical bills. To make things easier, have a giant folder that you can throw bills into once you have looked over them. You can also scan bills so that you have a PDF of the bill on your computer. All bills should be itemized, i.e., broken down by individual charge. These are called "line-item" or "detailed" bills. Call the hospital and request a detailed bill if you are not sent one. You want to make sure that the hospital hasn't double-billed you or made other errors. For example, an exam charge could show up on a hospital bill but also on your doctor's bill. You want to make sure that you catch all errors. Make sure that the hospital doesn't charge you for medications you brought from home. Also, check that the hospital does not charge the full-day rate for the room if you were discharged in the morning. Also look to see if you were charged for supplies like sheets, gowns, or gloves. These supplies should already be included in the cost of the hospital room. Before disputing the hospital bill, you should see how much of the bill is covered by your insurance. Try to get your insurer to cover all legitimate charges. Your insurer might claim that your policy does not cover certain drugs or procedures. Take out your policy and check. You can appeal any rejection by a health insurer. For more information, see Resolve a Claim Dispute With Your Health Insurance Provider.
A: Hold onto all of your bills. Review your bills. Find out how much your insurer will cover.

Q: This should be done before you make cuts to make your work more precise and remove parts of the fish that might get in the way. This can be done at the same time as de-scaling, but must be done before you begin to cut away the fillet. Start your cut at the base of the tail, and use the fish's backbone to guide your cut. Don't cut roughly or saw it away; instead, use a smooth and gentle slicing motion. As you slice the fillet from the fish, lift the flesh to make sure your cut is still moving in a straight line across the backbone. Delicately work with the shape of the rib cage instead of sawing through the bones. You can remove these bones with tweezers at a later time. Turn the fish over so the spine is touching the cutting board, and run your knife once again down the backbone from the tail to the head. Because the fish is lighter and does not have as much to grasp onto as before, the second side can be much trickier than the first. You should have two large fillets at this point. Watch out for the fish slipping off of the cutting board, as it may be more slick after the first fillet is cut away. If you plan on grilling or barbecuing your fish, it is much easier to work with if it is cut into steaks. Measure out slices about 1.5in (3.8cm) thick on each fillet, and cut with your chef knife. Keep the leftover meat for smaller steaks for kids or to use in fish stock. This is especially effective with large fish such a salmon. If you decide to turn your fillet into steaks, do not remove the bones or the skin, as it maintains the structure of the flesh on the grill or barbeque.
A: Cut away fins along the sides, top, and underside with scissors. Run your fillet knife down the fish's spine from tail to head. Run your fillet knife over the rib cage rather than through it. Repeat the cut for the other side of the fish. Consider cutting each fillet into "steaks" for grilling.

Q: Sometimes all the prevention possible will not keep your white sneakers always looking clean. Before you do a thorough cleaning with a damp sponge, brush or wipe off any dirt, mud, grass clippings or sand. It's important to get rid of excess debris, while your shoes are dry, so you don't set stains in more. Remove your laces to get them, and your shoes, looking as clean as possible. If you attempt to wash your shoes with the laces still in them, grime will accumulate around the openings. Place laces in a small mesh laundry bag to keep them from wrapping around other laundry. Set them out to dry and do not place them in the dryer to avoid shrinkage. Drop one to two drops of dish soap on a damp sponge or dish rag. Place your sponge in a bowl of water or rinse it in the sink to dilute. Don't use too much soap on your nice, white sneakers! Wring your sponge or rag out to remove excess water, and gently wipe your shoes down from tongue to sole. Do not scrub leather. Carefully rub dirt and repeat if necessary. Take a wet dish rag with a dime-sized amount of laundry soap to clean canvas. Wring the dish rag out and wipe down your shoes thoroughly. Wet the rag again to remove all accumulated dirt and soap. Wipe down your shoes a second time. Repeat if necessary, and let them dry by a fan or in the open air for a few hours. Do not place canvas in the washing machine. It can tear them and yellow your soles. Even after you have thoroughly brushed and cleaned your white sneakers, you may be left with discolored areas. Leather shoe polish can take care of this. Wipe polish on with a soft cloth, like an old t-shirt, and let it dry for a few minutes. Take a clean side of your old t-shirt to lightly buff out any scuff marks. White leather shoe polish is good for solid white shoes. Use a neutral shoe polish on white shoes that have accent colors. A neutral polish goes on clear and can be used on other leather shoes or bags.
A:
Dry brush dirt and debris off shoes. Clean laces in the washing machine. Sponge leather shoes with a small amount of dish soap. Wipe down canvas shoes with laundry soap. Polish leather.
