Problem: Article: There are two basic products on the market that are referred to as a seat belt alarm stopper. The first is simply an unattached seat belt clip that can be inserted into the receptacle. The safest way to use this option is to source a seat belt clip, or tongue, that matches your original seatbelt exactly. You can look for one at a scrap yard or parts store. Measure the overall dimensions of the clip's exposed metal section, as well as the dimensions of your receptor. Remember that driving without using a seatbelt is very dangerous, and against the law in most areas. The other stopper option, called an extender, is a piece that clips into the receptacle, but also provides an additional receptacle so that you can use your seat belt without removing the alarm stopper. You should purchase your extender from the original equipment manufacturer of the seat belt, and it must meet the criteria in its operating manual, including mass and stature. Following the criteria for your extender is important because your seat belt system needs to pass an anchorage pull test, which ensures that it can withstand crash-level forces. You can find these requirements online or by asking your seat belt manufacturer. Make sure that your stopper fits your seat belt receptacle. Then, simply click the stopper into your receptacle. You are now free of the dinging alarm sounds.
Summary: Get an unattached seat belt clip if you don't plan to use the seat belt. Purchase an extender if you plan to use the seatbelt. Install the seat belt alarm stopper.

Aloe vera plants are succulents and do not need to be watered often. Overwatering can kill your plant! If you keep your plant outside, watering every two weeks should be sufficient. If you keep your plant inside, water it every three to four weeks. Aloe vera plants need more water in the warmer months, but less in the cooler months.

If you notice the leaves are dropping or are becoming almost transparent, your plant likely needs water. However, the same qualities can be a sign of root rot, caused by overwatering. Ask yourself when you watered your plant last. If you watered it recently, you should remove the plant from the pot and check for root rot. Water should never sit on top of the surface of the soil, so water with a light hand. Continue to check your plant weekly or bi-weekly by testing the soil to see if it needs to be watered.
Summary: Check the soil. Modify watering according to the season. Examine the leaves. Water until the soil is just moist.

Problem: Article: Medium to large-sized clothespins work best for hanging tapestries. Choose adhesive wall strips that are approximately the same size as your clothespins. If no wall strips match the exact size of your clothespins, go a size largeryou can always trim them as needed later. Attach the clothespin to one side of the wall adhesive strip. Press the strip and clothespin together tightly to keep either from detaching as you hang the tapestry. If you wall adhesive strips are not double-sided, a wood glue to glue the clothespins to the strips. If the wall adhesive strips are too large, cut them to size with scissors before gluing. Measure the length of your tapestry and attach the clothespins so they can hold up both ends of the tapestry. Follow the wall adhesive strip directions carefully so the clothespins stay secure on the wall. If your tapestry is large, purchase and attach 3 clothespins to the wallone on both ends and one in the middle. When you've clamped the tapestry down with the clothespins, stand back and inspect it. If your tapestry appears to droop in the middle, you may not have spread your clothespins out enough. Re-apply the clothespins to the wall or add a third clothespin in the middle to prevent drooping. If you need to re-apply the clothespins, you may need to replace the wall adhesive strips. Some lose their sticking properties each time they are removed to the wall. The clothespin method is best for thin tapestries--thicker ones might not stay as tightly clamped.
Summary:
Buy 2 adhesive wall strips and 2 clothespins from a craft store. Stick the wall adhesive strips to the clothespins. Press the clothespins onto the wall. Attach the tapestry to the clothespins.
