Problem: Article: Never be completely out in the open. Have cover and concealment all around you, but be able to move easily. Choose a space that you can move easily in, yet stay hidden in. Basically, where you can exit and enter the sniper post without blowing your cover or giving away your hiding spot. If you're found, don't shout. Enemies can find you easily, just use a backup that has more than a shot and doesn't jam a lot. Cover and Concealment are Key
Summary: Pick a good hiding spot. Find a vantage point on the battlefield with a covered infiltration/ex filtration route.

Problem: Article: Every time you ride with him or her, you allow this person to control the situation (and often, this is a control issue). Instead, make plans to meet at the restaurant, theater, or whatever - go under your own power, and arrive at the appointed time. Don't allow him or her to be the one holding the tickets. If one of you must be responsible for both tickets, then you do it. Tell your friend if s/he is late, you will leave their ticket at Will Call while you go in on time to make your curtain. If s/he is able to catch up later, fine. But in the meantime, don't hold your breath. Here are a couple of examples to follow: Your "late" friend invites you to dinner at a favorite restaurant. Rather than wait for her to come to your place and driving in together, tell her you will meet her at the restaurant at 8pm. If she hasn't arrived by 8:15, ask to be seated anyhow (that's right, go in alone), and tell the waitress d' that if your friend arrives, to bring her right over. This is easier on you if you (A) bring another friend along with you or (B) bring some reading material. Don't wait any longer - ask your server for a menu, and order. Whenever she arrives, just greet her nicely - even if you are already finished with dinner. Stay only as long as you wish to - even if it means you walk away just as she is ordering. Your "late" friend tells you he'd like to go to the movies on Friday night. You're tired by the end of the week, and want to make the early show, and you tell him so. Don't go to his place and pick him up (you'll probably find that he isn't close to being ready, and by the time he gets ready and you leave, you'll have missed the early show). Instead, offer to meet him at the theater. Buy only your ticket - tell him he will need to buy his own. If he isn't there by the time you are seated, go on in and save a seat for him. If he makes it by the time the show starts, fine. If he comes in as the show is in progress, make him be seated quietly and watch the movie. Finish the evening as you wish - either by going out for coffee or for dessert together, or by telling him he's a jerk for being so late and you're going home. Or, just abandon the plan and leave. If you feel so angry and resentful that you can't have a good time on your own, just blow off the date and go home. If s/he shows later, then calls you wondering where you are, let him or her know that you waited just as long as you wanted to, then left.
Summary: Never carpool with him or her, and carry your own ticket. Wait a certain period of time, then go on with your plans, alone - or just leave altogether.

Problem: Article: If your pet is having a topical allergy to flea and tick preventatives, the first thing you'll need to do is wash any residual preventative product off the animal's body. You can do this in the bathtub or shower, but it should be done as soon as possible to minimize your pet's adverse reaction. Use a mild soap to wash any areas where the product was applied. Thoroughly rinse the area with copious amounts of water, ensuring that all of the soap (and the preventative product) have been rinsed off. Gently dry your pet with a clean, dry towel. Be extra cautious when toweling off the area where the product was applied, as it may have caused skin sensitivity in your pet. Whether your pet experiences topical or digestive reactions, it's important to get your pet to the veterinarian as soon as possible. Your vet will be able to treat any adverse side effects associated with the allergic reaction and may be able to recommend alternative preventative treatments. Your veterinarian may recommend medication or topical treatments to help soothe your pet's adverse reaction. Follow your vet's advice and be sure to read the instructions any products they prescribe or recommend.
Summary: Bathe pets with topical allergies. Take your pet to the vet. Monitor your pet's recovery.

Problem: Article: No matter how upset you are, never involve your child in the animosity. Never assign fault to your ex for the separation. Speaking negatively about your ex will not only risk the child lashing out at them or you but will also cause the child serious tensions and a feeling of being torn between the two of you. If you learn that your ex is speaking negatively about you in front of the child, be the bigger person and don't retaliate in kind. Explain to your child that your ex is under pressure from the separation and is doing their best to get through it. Almost as important as refraining from disparaging your ex is encouraging your child to see your ex in a positive light. Say nice things about your ex whenever possible to demonstrate to your child that the end of your romantic relationship has not ended your co-parenting relationship and respect for each other. Encourage your child to appreciate the skills and parenting effort of your ex by saying things like "Isn't your father's cooking great?" or "Your mother did a great job coaching your little league team." It can be difficult to adjust to seeing your ex with a new relationship but you'll have to accept that this person will be a significant part of your child's life. Your child is likely to take cues from your perception so showing your animosity toward them could lead your child to disrespect and resent them. This will not only cause stress for your ex and their new relationship but also for your child. Try to compliment the new relationship. Ask your child questions like "What is dad's new girlfriend like?" and seem interested and impressed. Tell them explicitly that they need to respect the new relationship as an authority figure. Say something like "Remember, mom and her new husband are the adults of the house. Show them both the respect that you would show me." If your child dislikes the new relationship, give them the chance to vent their frustration but encourage them to adapt to the new situation. Try to relate to them by saying something like "This is hard on me too." Using them as a messenger will put your child in the middle of your conflict and force them to feel the tension of your relationship. Unfortunately, this is a common mistake for separated parents that don't want to deal directly with each other, but you don't have to make it too. Find more productive ways to communicate like email, phone, or even talking through lawyers.
Summary:
Keep negative thought to yourself. Compliment your ex. Encourage your child to respect your new ex's new relationship. Communicate directly with your ex.
