Instead of giving her something she'll set on her shelf, try giving her something you can go out and do. Whether it's something you both love or something you don't like as much but she does, it will make an unforgettable gift. For instance, try getting tickets to a musical or play. Alternatively, you could buy tickets for a local symphony. For instance, try getting her into a painting class if she's always loved painting. Alternatively, you both could try a beer-brewing class together if she loves beer, which could turn into a life-long passion. Just make sure it's something she's passionate about, which you should know from paying attention to what she says and does. Even a short jaunt to a cabin nearby can be romantic under the right conditions. It doesn't have to be super expensive, as long as you think about what you your girlfriend likes. For instance, if she isn't super outdoorsy, take her for small getaway in a nearby city or quaint small town. For an even smaller getaway, try staying one night at a fancy hotel in town. Another option is a "staycation." Basically, you both take a day off from work and make fun plans in the city you live in. For instance, you could make her a picnic and go to a park or go to a concert at the botanical gardens.

Q: As you get close to graduation, your program will submit your name to Pearson Vue the testing company that administers the CDR. Check with your advisor to make sure that your name has been submitted. If you've attended a CP, your internship will be part of your education. If you attended a DPD, you'll have to complete your internship on your own. Once the internship is complete, Pearson Vue will email you with instructions for registering for the exam. Once you've registered for the exam, you'll need to pay for it. It's $200 to register for and take the exam. You'll have to pay online with a credit or debit card. Once you've paid the registration fee, you'll get an email from Pearson Vue about scheduling the date and time of the exam. When you go for your exam, you'll need to bring a copy of your eligibility email which should have come from your program after you finished your internship. You also need to bring a drivers' license or state photo ID. You need a score of 25 or higher to pass the exam. Because the number of questions you have to answer varies from exam to exam, how many you have to answer correctly to pass will vary. If you fail, you can retake the exam after 45 days. You'll have to pay the same amount for the retake as you did for the original exam. There is no limit to how many times you can retake the exam, as long as you wait 45 days between each attempt. After you pass the CDR, you'll get information from Pearson Vue on how to maintain your RD credential. You'll have to pay a maintenance fee and take part in continuing education opportunities every 5 years.
A: Make sure your school submits your name for eligibility. Check your email after you complete your internship. Pay for the exam. Schedule your exam within a year of becoming eligible. Bring the correct documentation. Retake the exam if necessary. Maintain your credential.

Article: Give your partner your full attention and be an active listener (see How to Actively Listen). And ask him to do the same. To keep the emotional intimacy of your relationship healthy, you both need to be sincerely present for and engaged with each other. When your boyfriend comes to you to vent or share his feelings, recognize that he's showing you that he appreciates that you're there for him and is making himself emotionally vulnerable. Honor that gesture of intimacy and listen actively and with care. Don't try to force him to meet a precise set of requirements in exactly the way you want. Be open to who he is and learn how you can support each other in your own ways; don't try to force each other to be something you're not. As much as you might want to believe that your partner should perfectly meet all your expectations in exactly the way you want him to, it really isn't in the nature of how human beingsor human relationshipswork. It's healthy to let him know your needs and desires and to expect him to make an effort to meet them. But it isn't realistic or healthy to expect him to become a different person.

Article: A gentle, side-to-side shake is all that is needed. Once you have shaken the bottle, remove the green cap on top of the bottle. Priming the spray in the bottle helps ensure that the medicine flows freely. To prime the spray, push down on the pump several times until a light spray comes out of the bottle. If no spray comes out after priming, the nozzle may be clogged. Remove the nozzle by lifting it up from the bottle. Fill it with water from the tap and pour the water out. Let it dry on a paper towel before snapping it back onto the bottle. Try priming the bottle again. If it still won't release medicine, soak the nozzle in a cup of warm water for several minutes. Let it dry before putting it back onto the bottle. Clean the nozzle at least once a week to ensure that it works properly. Always prime the bottle again after rinsing the nozzle.
