Problem: Article: Most landlines have the option to call internationally already enabled. However, you should talk to your phone provider to figure out how much it will cost you to call. They may be able to set you up with a plan to reduce the cost of the call. Plus, they can turn your international calling on it if it isn't set up already. With a landline, you just dial the number normally with the exit code and country code in front. If you find your phone provider's international calling is too expensive, you can purchase an international calling card. With these, you buy a card that has a certain number of minutes on it. Dial the (toll-free) number for the calling card first, then put in a pin number. After that, you can dial your international number. The call will be charged to the calling card instead of your provider. You can find calling cards at big box stores, pharmacies, gas stations, and online. You may need to enable your international plan before making the call; you can check your plan online or call your service provider to enable it. Then, you can dial the number as you would from a landline, putting in the exit code and the country code first. Always check how much a call will be, as you don't want to be surprised by a huge bill! VoIP or "Voice over Internet Protocol" refers to making calls using the internet. Some VoIP systems require that both ends of the call be on the internet, which is usually free, depending on the service you use. However, you can also use VoIP to call actual phone numbers. Though it may cost a little to call an actual number, it's usually cheaper than traditional plans. All you need to do is find a service on your computer or phone, add credits if it requires it, and put in your number using the country codes. For instance, try Skype or Google Voice. Both of these charge for making calls internationally, but the fees are cheaper than other plans.
Summary: Use your landline to call internationally. Purchase a calling card to avoid using your phone's calling plan. Call using your mobile phone for an easy option. Try a VoIP call for a cheap option.

Problem: Article: You are going to need a bucket that can hold a lot of water. However, you must also keep in mind the weight of the bucket when full. For example, a gallon of water weighs a bit over 8 pounds, which means a 5 gallon (18.9L) bucket full of water would weigh in at 40+ pounds, if completely full. Pet stores selling aquarium supplies often sell inexpensive vacuum kits. These consist of about a 2 inch (5.1cm) (or larger) diameter by 6 to 18 inch (15.2 to 45.7cm) rigid plastic tube. This tube will be open at one end, with a 12 inch (1.3cm) diameter opening at the other end. Included in this kit will also be a fairly long length of 1/2" clear, flexible tubing. The 12 inch (1.3cm) flexible tubing should be of sufficient length to reach from the furthest point inside the tank, over the tank top and downward into the bucket. Connect the wide rigid tube to the 12 inch (1.3cm) flexible tube (if not already connected). The object of weekly maintenance is to remove solid waste and change about 25% of the water in the tank. This siphon procedure will do both at the same time. Before placing your hands in the tank, be sure to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and warm water, and rinse well. Marine life and plants can react negatively to dirt, bacteria, and even soap.
Summary: Obtain a suitable bucket. Procure a vacuum kit. Connect the vacuum. Wash and rinse your hands well.

Problem: Article: It's nearly impossible to open your heart when you are still nursing old wounds. Healing requires acknowledging what hurts. Simply speaking your hurts aloud can impact the way you view them. Often, when things hurt, you may try to ignore them. The only way to move on is by acknowledging what happened. It's time to admit that you were hurt and truly feel these painful emotions you have been suppressing. If your ex broke your heart by cheating, admit to it. You might say, "I was heartbroken when Sasha cheated. It really made it hard for me to trust again." Experiencing emotional pain can cause you to develop negative beliefs about all people. These beliefs become ingrained and, over time, close your heart to love. To heal, you must identify the thought patterns that cause you to shut others out. For example, you think "Because my best friend neglected me when I most needed him, it's best not to count on others." As a result, you never let anyone in or ask for help when you need it. Challenge this belief by asking yourself some questions: What evidence is there that makes this true? Is this belief always true? Am I considering the full picture about what happened? Does this belief promote happiness and well-being? Use these questions to attack the negative beliefs or assumptions you have built about others. In order to open your heart, you must risk letting go of the past. Holding on to all that's happened before only weighs you down, making it harder for you to embrace new relationships and opportunities. Perform a ritual to release old hurts and invite in a fresh perspective. Write down in detail what happened to you and your reaction to the hurt. Then, write down the incident from the perspective of the other person who hurt you. Remember how they reacted and imagine how they must have felt. This helps you see the situation from a different perspective. Once you have fully released the event by writing it down on paper, destroy the paper. Toss it into a fire, tear it into tiny pieces, or bury it in the woods. This symbolizes an emotional release. What happened in the past no longer has a hold on you. Doing the work of healing past hurts is upsetting and draining. If you find yourself stuck and unable to move forward, it may help to see a mental health therapist. This person can help you identify the traumas that are closing your heart and offer effective strategies for truly letting go.
Summary:
Acknowledge your open wounds. Challenge negative beliefs. Let go of the pain with a release ritual. Seek professional help.
