This will just leave the polish tacky and smudge-prone. Only no-light gel polishes can be air-dried. | Make streaky layers. Pour clear gel and let it cool completely. Pour colored gel on top of that, and stab the lower layer with a knife. The hot color gel will seep into the clear gel, making streaks of color. You can also use a turkey baster or syringe to "inject" hot gel into a cool layer. | Avoid putting regular polish on top of UV gel with a gel topcoat. Without a topcoat, the polish will quickly peel off since it doesn't adhere to the gel strongly on its own. | A French polish can be applied over finished wood as long as it doesn't have an acrylic or similar coating that leaves a layer of plastic. | 2 |
2,843 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | 7 Ways to Pair Galaxy Buds | xxx | If you want to play Spotify music through Bluetooth speakers, you'll need to find the music that you want to play and then synchronize your phone, tablet, or computer with the Bluetooth speakers. | If you have the Galaxy Wearable app, switching your Buds between devices is easy! All you have to do is open the app on the phone or tablet you want to use the Buds with and tap Connect. If you don't have the app, you'll need to disconnect the Galaxy Buds with every other nearby device before you can switch. | If you've deleted a playlist accidentally, you can quickly turn off your Wi-Fi on your phone, tablet, or computer, which may interrupt the delete request. You might then be able to use another synced device (like an iPod touch) to see the contents of that playlist before it is deleted. | If you're also going to connect the speakers to a mobile device, check out How to Connect Bluetooth Speakers to Android and How to Pair a Bluetooth Device with an iPhone | 1 |
2,844 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | File a Whistleblower Complaint | xxx | You are strongly encouraged to meet with an attorney. Many whistleblower laws have requirements that must be met before you can file a complaint. For example, you may have to give your employer a written letter complaining of illegal conduct and allowing sufficient time for your employer to fix it. If you fail to do this, then you can't claim retaliation. Because there are too many nuances to summarize here, you should meet with a lawyer familiar in whistleblower laws who can offer specific advice. | You should always consult with a lawyer whenever your legal rights are at issue. For example, you might receive notice of a class action lawsuit and be told that you have the option to opt out. You should contact a lawyer to discuss whether or not you want to be part of the class action. Depending on the severity of your injuries, you might benefit by bringing your own individual lawsuit. To preserve your right to bring your own lawsuit, you would need to promptly opt out of the class action. | Regardless of the method you use, act quickly when initiating a lawsuit for wrongful termination. Courts and government agencies give you deadlines for pursuing your claims. If you don't file before that date you won't be able to recover anything. The best way to ensure you still have the right to start a lawsuit is to file your complaint as soon as possible after you are fired. | If you're in federal court, you can withdraw your lawsuit without a court order if you send a notice of dismissal to the other parties before anyone files an answer. After that point, you can still withdraw your lawsuit without a court order by filing a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties to the case. | 0 |
2,845 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Rig a Fishing Line | xxx | If you're relatively new to fishing, don't be disappointed if your first couple of fishing expeditions do not yield any fish. Many factors contribute to the location that fish prefer, their likelihood of striking, and they're interest in the bait. Plus, the more you fish with a fluke, the better you'll become. | Chumming the same area on a regular basis, whether you intend to fish that day or not, will help keep shiners in the area for when you do intend to fish. | Make sure you have the proper gear for the fish you hope to catch. Trying to haul up a large fish on a weak line will require letting the fish struggle until it is exhausted, which can leave it vulnerable once it's released. | Make sure you're using the right fishing line for where you're fishing. There are different fishing lines for saltwater and freshwater fishing, for example. | 3 |
2,846 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Make a Mini Pond | xxx | Open the door and/or window to vent excess heat that may build up in warmer weather, and be sure your plants get enough water. | If you think your pond might freeze, bring any plants and fish indoors before the weather turns cold or install a heater. | Some suggest using a swamp cooler and an air conditioner in tandem. This is foolish if you are trying to conserve energy and help the environment. Instead, on really hot days, use the swamp cooler to cool down your house at night. Turn off the swamp cooler during the day, shut windows and blinds to keep the cool air in, and run your standard AC as needed to maintain a comfortable temperature. | If the temperature in your house is fairly warm, you can put a fan directly in front of your open freezer to defrost built-up ice. This will typically take several hours to work, though. | 1 |
2,847 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Learn to Read and Write Chinese | xxx | Different regions may have slightly different dialects and expressions. | Although there are many dialects, the characters are almost identical. | Note that there are also other Chinese dialects that exist alongside those listed here. Many of those other dialects may also have their own way of saying "hello." | Even though there are many dialects of spoken Chinese, the written system is pretty much the same everywhere. | 1 |
2,848 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Broil Lobster | xxx | Sauté your shallots in butter and add them to a sauce to increase the sauce's depth of flavor. Also, use shallots sautéed in butter as a topping for cooked steak. | If the shrimp aren't pre-seasoned, marinate them to give more flavor to your dish! | For additional flavor, try serving the lobster with extra melted butter placed in small bowls. Dipping the meat into the butter will enhance the natural flavor and give it extra juiciness. | For added texture, consider using chunky peanut butter rather than smooth. You can also adjust the amount of milk used in the recipe for a firmer consistency. For quick sets, place the pie in the freezer for 30 minutes, and then place it on the counter roughly 10 minutes before serving. | 2 |
2,849 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Do a Quiff for Women | xxx | If your hair is straight and you want to add some volume to your ponytail or half-up style, use a curling iron to add some temporary waviness to your hair. | For longer hair, you can use larger sized rollers, if you'd like. However, stick to smaller rollers for short hair. The hair must be able to go around the roller in an "S" shape in order to create curls. | When gathering your hair into a ponytail, lean and tip your head back. This will give you volume and will prevent lines and bumps. | If you have curly hair, you can use hot rollers to add height and volume instead of backcombing. Roll your hair backwards and away from your face. | 3 |
2,850 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Fake Sick to Stay Home from School | xxx | If your parents put their hand on your arm and ask you how it feels, say it feels cold not warm. | In informal situations, or with people you know well, do not be afraid to slightly touch someone on his or her shoulder or arm. This creates a warm presence and adds a deeper connection. | If you're absolutely not sure what to say or know the person well/are comfortable around the person and vice versa, ask if you can hug the person. Just letting the person have your physical presence will mean so much to them, even if neither of you are able to say anything at the moment. | If someone talks to you and you don't want to; just say you have somewhere to go. | 0 |
2,851 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Paint Small Nails to Look Larger | xxx | When letting your nails dry, be sure to wait a long time as they can smudge easily and you will have to start all over again. | Before applying any nail polish, make sure that your nails have been dry for at least 30 minutes. Any remaining moisture might make your polish flake off faster. | Know how long you have to dry your nails and what drying method you want to use before you start. If you try to figure it out after your nails are wet, they may get smudged. | Wait at least 10 minutes for your nails to dry after you're done applying polish. The more layers you put on, the longer you should wait. If you get impatient, the polish is more liable to smear and smudge. | 0 |
2,852 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Increase Your Productivity: Your Most Common Questions Answered | xxx | Don't get discouraged if it takes a long time to make a major change. Changing your personality essentially means changing your habits. On average, it takes 66 days of consistent effort to form a new habit. | Changes hardly happen overnight, so be patient in this process and continue to create good habits. Be persistent and constant. Creating good habits like these takes time and consistency, so if you skip an entire week it may be hard to get back on track. | Creating good habits are the best way to improve your productivity. It may take time to change your habits, but it's totally possible. | It takes time to make a big change, so be patient with yourself! To keep yourself motivated, remind yourself of the small changes you've already made. | 2 |
2,853 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Make a Capri Sun Purse | xxx | Always start with the waist belt when adjusting a backpack. The waist belt bears most of the weight, so it has to be the right size and fit before the other straps can be fine-tuned. | An alternative to tying the straps is to fit them with D-rings or clips. This will allow you to make shorter ties, and to adjust or remove the baby more quickly than tying does. | To make a shoulder strap, connect the 2 handles together, then sew them to the side panels after you assemble the purse instead. | If you can't find or afford a gaff, you can easily make your own! Cut the elastic waistband off of a pair of nylons, then cut a narrow tube from a sock cuff or the leg of the nylons. Slip the elastic waistband through the tube you just cut, and use the loops of elastic on either side as “leg holes.” The fabric piece in the middle will help hold your junk in place when you tuck. | 2 |
2,854 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Make a Chocolate Bouquet | xxx | If you prefer, you don't necessarily have to add deco mesh to the center of the flower. You can hot glue glass or plastic gems in place to fill in the center. | You can also make a simple bow with your ribbon and tuck the bow behind the blooms. Wrap wire around the center of the bow and secure the wire to the blooms, wrapping the connection in florist's tape. | Transform any silk flower bouquet by securing wrapped chocolates into the center's with foam mounting tape. This works best with flowers that have sturdy centers, such as daisies. | Floral wreaths can have more than just flowers. Consider creating a base layer of evergreen boughs or floral moss, then using flowers as accents around the wreath. You can also use crystals, ribbons, jewelry charms or other themed accents to make your wreath stand out. | 2 |
2,855 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Make 'Melt and Pour' Soap | xxx | To conceal minor scratches in finished indoor teak furniture (such as a dresser), mix 75 ml (2.5 fl oz) of olive oil and 25 ml (0.85 fl oz) of white vinegar in a small bowl. Dip a clean cloth into the mixture and gently and evenly apply it to the entire teak surface. Repeat with 1-2 more coats if needed. | It is also possible to use liquid soap to make this solution. Mix 1 - 2 tablespoons liquid soap and 950ml / 1 quart water. | 1 pound (450 grams) of soap will typically yield 4 to 6 bars of soap. | Most cats need 30 calories for each pound they carry. A cup of dry food (150 grams) has about 300 calories, and about 6 ounces (170 g) of wet food equals 300 calories. | 2 |
2,856 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Get Fit in Two Weeks (Middle School Girls) | xxx | If you think you might kiss someone, be sure to brush your teeth. You might even consider carrying breath mints or gum with you so you can freshen up before you go in for the kiss! | Don't worry about calories, but do eat clean! Cut out white bread, sugary cereals, candy, soda, and fast food, and add more fruits and veggies. Once a week, you should have a cheat day/meal and indulge in whatever you want. | But ladies, if you plan on kissing them then eat before you go and brush your teeth! Nothing is more of a turn off than eating Red Hots and smelling awful. Stay away from chocolate, popcorn, soda, sugary things, etc. | If you pick snacks that will get stuck in your teeth, such as popcorn, then make sure that you are careful to not get the snack stuck in your teeth and if you do get some stuck in your teeth, then pick them out, preferably with your tongue (if you can). Also, it is a good idea to avoid 'gassy' foods such as cranberries. You don't want to embarrass yourself in front of your girlfriend! | 1 |
2,857 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Measure Dry Pasta | xxx | Read the recipe to decide how many servings of pasta are required. You can either read directly from the recipe or pasta sauce bottle, or if you are making pasta sauce from scratch, figure out how many people you will feed with your sauce. | Because there are many ways to vary the ingredients when making Chinese Brown sauce, experiment until you create a recipe that you enjoy the most. Try using different kinds of broths, brown sugar and white sugar and oyster sauce. | You can also add salt, pepper, and anything else you want to the sauce to customize it. While the sauce is heating, taste it and determine whether you want to add some spices or you like it just the way it is. | If you are making a recipe that does not show how many calories the dish will have, you can estimate the calories by looking at the packaging of each ingredient. | 0 |
2,858 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Get to Oahu from Maui | xxx | TheBus, Oahu's public transit, is extremely reliable and goes just about everywhere on the island. Plus, it's far cheaper than a taxi, rideshare, or tour bus. | Air travel is the most popular way to travel between the Hawaiian islands. | Commuter books are the best bet if you travel for business since they give you a discount on multiple flights between the same airports. | Flying can be very stressful and dangerous for pets. If there is any other mode of transportation you can take (train, car, etc.), you should heavily consider doing that instead of flying. | 1 |
2,859 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Apply Matte Liquid Lipstick | xxx | Try applying balm to your teeth. A thin coat of clear, multi-purpose balm (such as Vaseline) will provide additional--and invisible--protection from clingy lipstick. | Your lipstick will be easier to remove later if you apply it to lips that are already hydrated. Before applying lipstick or stain, put some lip balm on your lips and let it sit for a minute. Then, wipe away any excess balm and apply your lip color. | Don't apply any lip balm on top of your liquid lipstick. It could cause the product to break down, smudge, and look splotchy. | Moisturize with lip balm underneath your lipstick to avoid getting chapped. | 2 |
2,860 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Make Noodle Salad | xxx | To simplify your dinner preparation even further, add some root vegetables, such as onions, potatoes and carrots, to the baking dish or roasting pan along with the chicken pieces. Toss to coat with the olive oil the same as you do for the chicken. Make sure your vegetables are cut to roughly the same size to prevent uneven baking. | If you are making the Chinese salad more than a day ahead, toss the noodles with the soy sauce and half of the dressing. Prep the vegetables and store them separately. When ready to serve, toss the noodles with the vegetables and the rest of the dressing. | You can try to cook the noodles in the sauce, instead of boiling them separately. Just make sure you have enough liquid in your sauce to properly cook the noodles. Stir frequently to keep the sauce from scorching and the noodles from sticking to the pot. | You can build your lasagne with uncooked noodles if you buy the pre-prepared pack from the store. If you cover it with tin foil before putting in the oven, the moisture from cooking will also cook the noodles to perfection. It saves a step and time. | 1 |
2,861 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Go Ash Blonde | xxx | Maintain your hair color by using shampoo and conditioner that provides color support. | Use a color shielding shampoo/conditioner and cold water when you're washing your hair to help preserve the color. | If your hair color kit does not come with conditioner, make sure that you use a color-safe conditioner that will preserve your hair color. | Wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner made specifically for color-treated hair. | 0 |
2,862 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Dress Nice Every Day (for Girls) | xxx | Take some time to mix and match the clothes in your closet to see what outfits look the best on you. If you feel comfortable and confident, other people will be sure to notice. | Pick out outfits that will make you feel great when you wear them. | Dressing up in your favorite clothes for the party can give you an added boost of confidence that can translate into better dancing. Just make sure that you choose shoes that are comfortable and that you can move in. | Find a "confidence outfit" that you look good in every time you put it on | 1 |
2,863 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Use Rosehips for Health | xxx | Enemas are sometimes used to relieve constipation, but they can have side effects. It's better to try diet changes and laxatives instead. | Following a lower carb diet may come with some side effects like headaches or constipation. Make sure to track these symptoms and speak to your doctor if they become bothersome. | Consult your doctor before taking NSAIDs, as they have some side effects, including gastrointestinal disorders as vomiting, irritation, stomach pain. It's advised to be taken right after meals to minimize these signs. Patients with ulcers history, kidney disease, and Myocardial Infarction should use NSAIDs with caution | Rosehips are generally considered to be safe to use, but some people have mild side effects that include loose stools, diarrhea, heartburn, or gas. | 3 |
2,864 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Play RuneScape | xxx | Do not accept any under trades. Make sure you completely know your rares. If anyone tries to scam you by saying a spiked collar is worth a beta plushie (which is not true) or something similar, ignore them. Two black short collars for a black long is also not fair - do not accept fake trades like these. If you get an over trade, like 4 good longs or 3 good longs and a bad long, accept and hopefully it will not be a troll trade - you could get some extra rares this way. | Don't use cheats too much, they make playing the game worthless if used a lot. Use them in grave emergencies, example, you have been playing hard, and enemy sends in armies that may destroy you. | Avoid Scams in RuneScape, know what scams are, and avoid them as much as possible. If you don't know the price of an object during a trade or you are skeptical, use the Grand Exchange, or just look at the bottom of the trade screen, which will tell you how much an item is worth (be extra careful now that free trade is back). | Don't get scammed. Until you know what you're doing, only trade the 'official' way (items and money in ONE trade window at a time) - don't drop-trade, don't 'lend' stuff (you won't get it back), etc. Be very suspicious of people initially, unless it's a simple item-for-money trade. | 2 |
2,865 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Become Preppy on Animal Jam | xxx | Make sure when you tailgate to drink a little. Don't get wasted because you don't want to be "that guy", but a little alcohol will keep you warmer on cold days and help relax you to yell louder. Remember, you'll be standing the whole game, so buzzing makes it more fun! | Being a tomboy is mostly natural(Don't fake it!). You can shop in girls sections, but make sure to buy jeans or T-shirts, not mini-skirts. You can wear nice clothes on occasion, maybe to a dance or party, but make sure it suits you and doesn't look like you tried to hard. The key to being a tomboy is to fit into the lifestyle naturally, not to look like you are begging the guys to hang out with you. Tomboys are just girls who don't like being girly-girls, so that's who you should be. | If you're a girl, don't be afraid to ask your crush on a date. This is no longer something that only guys have to do, so feel free to take action! | Just be a kind jammer! Showing off won't get you anywhere. Instead, be a little more creative. How about an extreme hangout/party! Use imagination!. | 3 |
2,866 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Use Powder Hair Dye | xxx | Apply some moisturizer or petroleum jelly to your hair before you start dyeing it to prevent stains. Wipe it off once you finish applying the dye. | Use vaseline or petroleum jelly to protect your hairline while applying the dye. | If you color your hair at home, coconut oil can be used to help reduce the damage from the chemicals by adding moisture. Apply a couple drops in your dye bottle and mix it well before using. | Oil and oily hair products help lubricate the hair strands, sliding them off of each other. If you want to use an anti-grease hair treatment, wait until after your hair is untangled. | 1 |
2,867 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Start a Jazz Band | xxx | Wherever the audition is held, the warm up room will be very, very noisy. A good number of people with different instruments playing different things at the same time isn't the most pleasant sound in the world, and you may not be able to hear yourself think, much less play. Scope out a seat in a corner, or a table a slight distance from the closest group, if possible. | Be patient. It may take some time for your jazz band to sound good enough to perform in front of an audience. | Be patient with yourself while practicing your soloing skills. It may take a while before you're comfortable playing a solo in front of people. | Try playing steadily. For example, if a piece is quiet and melancholy all the way through to the end, try not to play an odd key loudly so that it doesn't sound clumsy. This makes you sound a lot more professional especially in front of an audience. | 1 |
2,868 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Make a Fruit Bouquet | xxx | If you're feeling ambitious, you can make the fruit juice yourself with a blender. Juicy fruits like strawberries, mangoes, apples, and pineapples work especially well. | Try combining oranges with other citrus fruits like lemons and limes in pitchers of Sangria or Margaritas. Or, you can add slices of other edible fruits like apples, peaches, and strawberries. | Use sturdy fruits in your bouquet. The best fruits are strawberries, pineapples, melons, mandarin oranges, mangoes and cantaloupes. | The aforementioned methods of ripening peaches also work for nectarines, apricots, kiwis, mangoes, pears, plums, bananas, and avocados. | 2 |
2,869 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Stop Insomnia | xxx | Sleeping with a pet might be comforting and help you fall asleep. However, if your pet moves around a lot, it might be best to keep it out of your bedroom at night. | If you are being kept awake, or waking up during the night, because of your bed partner's snoring or other behaviors, moving to the couch for a few nights so you can get solid sleep may be helpful. | Avoid sleeping with pets. You may not notice, but their noises and movements can frequently wake you up at night preventing you from falling into a deep sleep. | A cat mostly sleeps in the day time and sometimes stays up at night. Don't discipline your cat for sleeping. Try to observe their pattern of sleep and adjust accordingly. | 1 |
2,870 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Make Strawberry Juice | xxx | Set your frozen strawberries out to thaw about 30 minutes before you begin preparing your juice. | Freeze the remaining egg mixture for later use. To thaw, place it in the refrigerator 24 hours before you want to use it. | Let frozen blueberries thaw for about 10 minutes before you eat them. | If you want to save time in the morning, saute the vegetables the day before. Allow them to cool for at least 30 minutes, and then add them to the jar with the cheese and meat. Store in the refrigerator, and follow the remaining steps for mixing and adding the eggs as usual. | 0 |
2,871 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Make Healthier Sauces and Dressings | xxx | When you do need a snack, something like trail mix. The nuts are high in protein, which will give you a boost. Just check the label and avoid mixes that are high in sugar. | Make sure the tastes of the ingredients you select complement each other. If you are using leftovers that are already seasoned, consider the flavor of the seasoning when choosing additional ingredients. | Consider altering some ingredients if you don't like the taste of the shake. These recipes are just suggestions, and most of the ingredients can be changed with something more suitable to your liking. | If you don't like the flavor of the healthier dressings, use smaller amounts of the regular or full-fat versions. | 3 |
2,872 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Sort Laundry by Colors | xxx | Roll entire outfits for space-saving packing and convenience. For example, lay out a T-shirt, a pair of pants, socks and underwear for each day. Roll the items so you can get dressed quickly with little or no hassle. | If you have 1 or more large area rugs, the task of cleaning them may be more than a 1-person job. Enlist family members or ask friends to help you clean the rug(s) so it doesn't become an all-day project. | Try breaking your weekly laundry to-do list into smaller tasks so it's not as overwhelming. For example, you can wash whites on Sundays, darks on Mondays, and linens on Tuesdays. | Don't worry about washing your EnviroCloth and Window Cloth every time you use them. Instead, wash them after a few cleaning cycles. | 2 |
2,873 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Measure an O‐Ring Diameter | xxx | Engineers can consider many things when choosing the right O-ring size. In most cases (like replacing the O-ring on your sink), you don't need to worry about this. But if you are working on a higher-stakes project (a system with very high pressure or temperature, for instance), you might want to ask a professional for advice. | If the pants are really valuable and you still aren't sure whether you can save them yourself, it may be a good idea to take them to a professional cleaner. It won't be the first time the professional will have had to grapple with a paint stain before, and it's quite possible he'll have special supplies specifically suited to solving this problem. | It's a good idea to ask someone to help you install the gutters. Long gutters can be difficult for one person to maneuver alone. | The only time you won't need to bother with locating studs is when the shelves you want to hang are especially small or lightweight. In this case, it's possible to mount them directly to any part of the wall using drywall anchors. | 0 |
2,874 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Write a Compatibility Test | xxx | Loving someone does not mean only caring for the other person. It means balancing your own happiness with theirs in a way that makes both of your lives better. | A person's sun sign isn't a total indicator of their compatibility with someone. If there's a genuine love connection and both partners are willing to communicate and compromise, a meaningful relationship can form between any two zodiac signs. | Compatibility is not black and white. It works in degrees; it's not a questions of whether or not people are compatible, but how compatible they are with each other. | Sun sign compatibility isn't the only factor that determines whether two people can successfully date or not. If there's a genuine connection and both partners want to make it work, then a happy relationship is possible regardless of zodiac signs. | 2 |
2,875 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Deal With Heat Exhaustion | xxx | If you start to feel unwell, leave and seek medical attention. Heatstroke can come on quickly when you are in the sun. | If you have to go out in the heat, take regular breaks. Rest in the shade and go into an air-conditioned room for a few minutes to avoid overheating. | If you personally feel symptoms of heat exhaustion, get out of the sun, hydrate, and lie down. | Remember to stay hydrated while you exercise. If you're sweating a lot or the weather's hot, try to drink about 1 cup (240 mL) of water or sports drink every 20 minutes. | 2 |
2,876 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Change a Kid's Room to a Tween's Room | xxx | Ask your teen if she would like to change up her room. Help her get rid of any clutter and paint the walls a nice bright or pastel color to make her feel like her room is a peaceful place for her to relax in. (Or if she wants, let her do all the decorating.) Try putting more of her favorite color in it, and put pictures on the wall of all the people who love her. | Try having your friends or family help with your house blessing. | Ask your friends and family to have fun helping you redecorate your room. | Invite your friends over to your house. Make sure they have plenty of fun. | 2 |
2,877 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Convince Your Parents to Get You a Cat | xxx | If you have multiple cats and one of them tends not to eat as soon as you put food out, it might help to feed your cats in different rooms. This way, you can make sure all of your cats are eating (even if it's on different schedules) and getting the nutrition they need. | Remember, though, the difference between having a caged mammal or a reptile or amphibian and having a larger mammal like a cat or dog is, your parents will see it as your responsibility and no one else's. If it was a dog or cat, they wouldn't mind so much helping you out a little bit (i.e. feeding it dinner if you're at practice or out with friends) because cats and dogs are big responsibilities, but if you have a caged animal, you will be the only one taking care of it. While they do not want to have to do it all for you, if they walk up to the cage to find a pile of excrement, empty food bowls and an emaciated, dying rat, you will be in huge trouble (grounded for a week, possibly). While they will not call AC&C or the SPCA over a rat, they will most likely dispose of it in the woods. | Cats are very easy to take care of. The only things you actually need to have are toys, food, and a litterbox. If you have an outdoor cat, it may not need a litterbox all of the time. However, you should still bring your cat inside, especially in the winter! Cats can easily die in freezing weather.Remember that cats do not need to be bathed.Show your parents that you are responsible enough to take care of a cat | Make sure to do your research! Ferrets are not a pet to buy for your kids to take care of by themselves. They need proper care and supplies to have the best life they can. | 2 |
2,878 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Repair Dodgy or Broken Headphones | xxx | Sometimes it is necessary to heat the tip of the solder rod with the flame to help the solder flow more easily onto the repair area. Use caution in heating the rod, as overheating will prevent the solder from bonding. | Keep handy a rubber-bulb or other suction de-solderer (sucks up melted solder) or a spool of desoldering braid (fine copper mesh that absorbs melted solder) in case you mess up and need to disconnect something or remove excess solder from a joint. | To add strain relief mix up 2-minute epoxy and drizzle around the interior of the jack wires. Rotate it and coat the various parts and then screw the jacket or cover into place. If the epoxy is very thin it might leak out so set the plug to dry with the tip facing down. This will prevent you being able to reuse or repair the plug so be sure it works before you do this but it's a great way to add some custom strain relief. | Try not to hold the soldering iron on the contact too long.

Make sure to give them many examples of how you have shown responsible behavior in the past. This will give you a greater chance of having your parents put the situation into consideration. | All parents are different. If yours are extremely overprotective, you might need to work a little harder.

You'll be able to locate smaller stars that are hard to see with the naked eye. | Invest in an altimeter to get an exact reading of your current elevation. While this technology is most commonly used in planes, there are also portable versions of the device that help with activities like skydiving. If you don't want to spend a lot of money, consider downloading an altimeter app for your phone or purchasing a watch with a built-in altimeter. | If you or the individual you're purchasing the star for are truly interested in astronomy, it might be better to invest in a good telescope or join a local astronomy club than to buy a star. | 0 |

Not only does fresh produce contain lots of water to keep you hydrated, but many fruits and vegetables are also loaded with antioxidants that may repair or prevent sun damage. | The onions will sprout faster if they receive a little heat from the bottom. The top of a refrigerator gives off just the right amount of heat to promote growth. | You should plant your tree in an area that has plenty of mycorrhizal fungi. Otherwise, your tree won't be able to take in all the minerals it needs from the soil. | While a little bit of excess potassium in the soil won't hurt your plants, too much can make it harder for your plants to absorb the magnesium they need. | 3 |

Speak to a tax advisor for more information. | 0 |

One good idea is to cut a small piece and taste it – it should be fully cooked inside and tender, not rubbery. | Every pan is different in terms of how bad the caked on food residue is. Adapt the process for pans that are extra dirty. Leave them to soak longer or repeat the process twice when necessary. | Season your wok at least once per week. Check the surface of the pan after each use to see if it needs to be seasoned. | If food burns, just heat a little water in the pan, and scrape with a flat metal spatula. It may mean that re-seasoning is necessary. | 2 |

For example, if you have red hair, try gold or brown bobby pins. | If you have hair in a bright color, such as pink, blue, or purple, you may not be able to find bobby pins in the right color.

2,891 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Make a Gravel Garden | xxx | Avoid putting rocks or stones in the bottom of your garden bed. These are heavy, so they'll compact the soil and prevent water drainage. | As an alternative to growing grass between pavers, you can use what are called grass pavers. These pavers have holes in them designed for the growth of grass, and when placed next to each other create a grassy surface that needs significantly less water and maintenance than a full lawn. | Throughout the year, you may have to add some extra gravel to spots where people or animals walk through the garden. | If you hang shiny things or added a scarecrow, move them to different spaces in your garden every few weeks so the birds don't get used to them in one spot. | 2 |

Do not hold it in 1 position—instead move it back and forth over the surface of the plastic mold with a sweeping motion. | Wrap rubber or traction tape around the pipe in two spots, a few inches from the edges.

Turn off the swamp cooler during the day, shut windows and blinds to keep the cool air in, and run your standard AC as needed to maintain a comfortable temperature. | Blinds can save you money on your energy costs.

2,895 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Care for a Lovebird | xxx | If you have a bird and want to get them a buddy, make sure you place the new bird in a different room for at least two weeks. When you first introduce them, make sure you do it in a room neither bird goes into often, so that it is neutral territory and they won't feel the need to fight. It will take a few of these supervised playtimes before you can put them permanently in a room together. Ensure the birds get along before placing them in the same room, much less the same cage. Some birds will never get along and you must accept that if yours don't. Putting two birds who hate each other in the same cage with stress them out and cause injury. Most birds will probably be hesitant at first, but will end up being good friends. | Do not house two male rabbits together because they will often try to kill each other. Housing two female rabbits together is also not a good idea. You will find that they can be quite protective of their own territory, and will start fights with each other too. | Always keep additional, new lovebirds in a separate cage until you are sure that they get along. Otherwise, you will have a lot of blood on your hands (literally). | Broken bones are sometimes the result of fighting with other chinchillas. If your chinchilla has a cagemate, make sure to monitor their interactions for signs of conflict. | 2 |

You will notice how bad the problem is and can work your way down. | As he isn't comfortable talking to people, you'll need to be physically by him a lot and talk here and there. After a few days start greeting him, just a simple "hi". Try and get him engaged in conversations more and more. Once he is obviously comfortable with you, start being a friend to him. The person in question will probably grow the relationship slowly over time. | Try taking one step each week (or day). For example, if you have a hard time keeping a conversation going, try to have a longer conversation every time you talk to someone. A good way to do this is to keep asking the person questions. | Under stress, your friend's communication skills might degrade. (This is normal, and it'll be fixed once they feel better.) They might repeat things you say, point, or use other less precise forms of communication. Assume that they're doing their best to communicate, and try to figure out what they mean. You can also ask yes/no questions and let them give you thumbs up or thumbs down as an answer. | 0 |
2,897 | xxx | xxx | xxx | xxx | Apologize to a Girl over Text | xxx | Try to apologize sooner rather than later. Taking too much time to apologize after you've made a mistake can make it harder for you and your boyfriend to see eye-to-eye. | If she doesn't accept your apology over text, try talking to her in person. Sometimes a face-to-face apology can be a better way to fix things. | It's better to reject someone face-to-face than over text message. Being in person offers a lot more warmth. | This is a conversation you'll want to have in person. Don't call or text your friend to confess your love. It can be awkward to get your emotions across these ways. It can even be considered somewhat rude to not take the time to talk in person. | 1 |

Simply drain and rinse the beans before using them in your recipe. | Potatoes can be shredded both with and without their skin. This is a matter of preference, though if you don't peel off the skin, be sure the potatoes are thoroughly cleaned. | Try reducing your casserole before adding extra thickeners.

Certain medical conditions (such as diabetes or liver disease) and medications (such as hormone replacement therapy or oral contraceptives) can also put you at risk. | Even if you do not have diabetes, reducing sugar intake and being more active can greatly reduce the risk of the disease developing. More than one in three U.S. adults, and many other people worldwide, have a condition called "prediabetes," with elevated blood glucose levels and a higher risk of developing serious conditions. Get your blood sugar tested to determine your risk level. | 2 |
