Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Develop a script. Avoid sensitive situations or topics. Don't force others to take sides. Make an effort where effort is due.

Answer: Dealing with ex-friends and lovers is maybe the hardest relationship to manage, harder than obnoxious relatives and co-workers by far. This is because of the intense bond that you once shared and, in some cases, the bitter end to that bond. One way to deal with seeing him is to develop a script and to stick to it. If you anticipate meeting an ex-friend or lover, know what you want to say ahead of time. Pick out topics of conversation and know which subjects to avoid. Be prepared. Having something in mind will allow you to keep your cool, and also to avoid coming off as aloof or defensive. There are a lot of potential flash-points in relationships after a breakup. If you meet your ex, know what topics to avoid with him. Don't dredge up old arguments or resentments, like his new friends that you blame for growing apart. Try to avoid other obviously tense situations. Meeting your ex-boyfriend in the presence of his new girlfriend is probably a bad idea, for example. Some tense situations can't be avoided. For instance, you may need to pick up clothes or items that you left at your ex-friend's apartment. In such a case, prepare yourself beforehand. Be ready to get in, get out, and keep conversation to a necessary minimum. Whether friend or lover, a breakup is like a divorce on a small scale. Your life together gets divided and those around you friends and family members feel pressured to take sides. Letting these people to stay neutral can go a long way toward maintaining civility between you and your ex, however. Accept the fact that your current friends or family may choose to maintain a relationship with your ex, and don't resent them for it or make them feel badly. Bad-mouthing your ex-friend or lover will often worsen the situation. If you don't have anything kind to say about him, keep silent or vent to a friend who is at arm's length. Try to get along with your ex if you can't cut off the relationship entirely, if, for example, you have a shared business or children together. Keep your feelings secondary to business or family and remember that you need to maintain some civility. Put common ground first. Whether a business, children, or other reason, keep your priorities front and center in your interactions. A little distance is OK. You don't need to be best buddies with your ex. Putting some space between you and him may actually be a good idea and prevent future conflict.

Baseline or lifestyle activities are things you can do throughout your day to get you moving and more active. These little activities may add up at the end of the day to a significant amount of calories or active time. Try walking more often, taking the stairs or standing and doing exercises during TV commercials. On the opposite spectrum, try to limit times when you're more sedentary. Limit "screen" time in front of the TV, computer or sitting while you work. If you're trying to maintain a fit and healthy lifestyle, it's important to set up ways to keep yourself on track. Many times, regular measuring or weighing can help you stay on track long-term. You can also track what you eat, how much you exercise, which exercises you are doing, how much water you are drinking, etc. If you notice any changes in your weight, fitness level or overall health, looking back through your fitness and food journal can help you identify where you may need to make changes. Use a method that works best for you. In addition to old fashioned pen and paper journal, numerous free apps can allow you to track both nutrition and fitness online or even from your smartphone. Weigh yourself once a week. Try to weigh yourself at the same time of day (ideally right when you wake up) and in the same clothes (or naked) so you can get a more accurate trend. Remember that your weight fluctuates throughout the day based on many factors. Take your measurements every month. Knowing how many inches you've lost will tell you how much body fat you've shed. Sometimes the scale may report a higher number than you look or feel due to adding muscle mass. Knowing your measurements may provide you with a truer metric. It is important to include some relaxing activities in your daily routine to ensure that you will not get too stressed. Stress causes your body to hold onto cortisol and this can lead to a wide range of health problems, such as anxiety, heart disease, and weight gain. To control your stress levels, try incorporating a relaxation technique into your daily routine, such as: Meditation Yoga Deep Breathing

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Cut a lemon into slices. Put the slices into an icecube tray and top them with vinegar. Allow the ice cubes to harden. Place the ice cubes in your garbage disposal. Turn on your garbage disposal until you break up all the ice.

Answer:
Cut a piece of lemon into individual slices that are small enough to fit into each section of an icecube tray. Fill the ice cube tray with vinegar. The vinegar will help deodorize and sanitize your garbage disposal drain. It will also clean out crevices in your garbage disposal sink. Leave the tray in the freezer overnight and allow all of the ice cubes to harden. Break the ice cubes out of the tray and dump them into your garbage disposal drain. Run cold water over the ice cubes and turn on your garbage disposal. The blades should break up the ice, and the citrus and vinegar should freshen up the smell and clean your drain. Once you're done, run cold water to rinse out the drain. Cold water hardens oils and grease so that the garbage disposal blade can break them up.
