Be a Furry
xxx
Save time and your muscles by having your boat buffed for you. You can find boat detailing services in most marina communities. Don't expect auto detailers to have the expertise to work on your boat, because the gelcoat is of a different thickness and consistency.
Wash your suit as soon as possible after every single fursuiting session, and deep-clean your fursuit once in a while. Refer to online tutorials and check with your fursuit maker for more specific laundering instructions.
If you're still not happy with the fit after several rounds of washing and drying, bring your Spandex to the tailor. You'll want to bring your garment to a tailor you trust. Find a reliable tailor by asking friends or doing research online.
Your hair extensions may have different care instructions than the ones outlined here. If you put in your extensions yourself, check the packaging or the manufacturer's website for the best way to wash them. If you had them professionally done, ask your stylist about recommended aftercare.

Make Your Laptop Work Faster
xxx
Consider adding more memory to your Mac or PC. This is a sure way to improve the speed of your laptop.
Salvage the RAM, HDD and for desktops the CPU and GPU. These are the parts you can use to enhance your new system.
Adding more RAM will help your speed. This is because if the processor has more RAM to work with, it can work faster. Adding RAM is usually the first thing you want to do to speed up your computer.
If your laptop supports it, installing more RAM will likely give you a performance boost. Laptops are generally more limited than desktops when upgrading your RAM, and you may already be using the most your laptop can take.

Get Rid of Nutgrass
xxx
To help prevent additional weeds from emerging, you can lay down black plastic sheets before you add your soil and compost.
Do not attempt to lay mulch over nut grass. This weed is so persistent that it will usually push its way through mulches, cloth, and even plastic.
Avoid unintentionally planting weeds. Only purchase potting mix, topsoil or mulch that is labeled "weed free." Otherwise, you may be adding weeds to your vegetable garden as you add your soil or mulch.
Some experts recommend that you avoid using grass clippings as mulch as these can fuse together and form a barrier against water.

Try not to get in a hurry while seasoning the wood. A new bow is much more likely to break or be inefficient if the wood used is still green.
Make sure you smoothly sand out the suppressor barrel. Imperfections may cause irregularities in firing and damage to your suppressor.
Any time you're working with free weights (e.g. on a bench press), make sure to have someone spot you. This is a serious safety precaution, even if you're lifting a relatively light amount of weight.

Determine Why an Autistic Child Is Aggressive

Depending on motor and organizational skills, autistic teens and adults may be able to brush themselves.
It's not uncommon for autistic children to have a different recovery time than non-autistic children, since autistic people manage pain and stress differently.
Some studies have found that caregiver relationships can impact a child's attentional abilities, and potentially result in ADHD-like behaviors in foster children and child abuse victims.
Autistic children may benefit from counseling if they are under emotional stress.

Make sure that your Chromebook has sufficient battery power left or is connected to a power outlet to ensure that the Powerwash process doesn't get interrupted.
Make sure that your engine is capable of handling the power that will be produced after the turbo installation.
If you want to know the actually performance of your vehicle, it's worth taking it to a place which has a dynamometer which will give you a reading on how much horsepower and torque your engine is producing as well as what RPM peak power/torque is achieved.
It's a very good idea to verify the voltage parameters of the motor, and ensure that the voltage being applied by the battery is a close match. Otherwise, you may damage your motor or not have enough power to run it.

Social media is easily misinterpreted so exercise extreme caution when posting on other people's walls.
Remember, it's hard to judge tone over the internet. Be clear with your language and avoid using sarcasm, since people can easily misinterpret it.
Social media is a great way to advertise services. However, excessively posting advertisements via websites like twitter.com or facebook.com can make people hide or block you.

Make a Paper Rocket

If you can't find a plastic tube, use a straw instead. Wrap some tape tightly around the balloon tail to keep it in place and ensure an airtight seal.
To make your parachute more effective, try taking a ring of half-an-inch cloth and carefully glue it around the edges of the plastic. This will weigh the ends down and give the parachute the "dome shape" much faster. Be careful not to make it too heavy, or the parachute won't catch any air.
Tightly seal all your seams with tape. You don't want any air leaking out. Tight seals will keep all the air inside the rocket and make it fly better.

Tie a Square Knot

Try practicing to escape by asking a friend or sibling to tie you up. Use the techniques described to escape, but if you can't do it the first time, that's fine—it takes practice. Make sure you use a rope that is OK to cut, if you can't slip the rope off.
If you have difficulty learning to tie this knot, using two ropes of different colors (as shown in the pictures) can help you keep them straight.
When making this sheath for the first time, use four colors to make it easier to learn and to see where you're weaving the pieces. When you have mastered this, it's also possible using just one color, as shown by this scissors sheath.
Diagonal striped knots can be difficult to adjust with trinity knots. The stripes are hard to match up without familiarity with the knot, so practice with other ties before you attempt it.

Instead of making extreme changes that will likely be difficult to maintain (even for two months, let alone longer periods of time), make gradual lifestyle and diet changes to lose weight at a safe pace. This will help you keep the weight off, instead of gaining it all back down the road.
The best way to lose weight is slowly over a longer period of time. Make sure to set your expectations to this as you start out with weight loss.
Making small changes over a long period of time can help you lose weight and keep it off long term. Take your weight loss plan one step at a time for the best results.

Help Someone Who Is Thinking About Committing Suicide

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health conditions in the United States. Therapy, sometimes in combination with medication, is highly effective at managing anxiety disorders.
Illnesses that can precipitate suicidal thoughts include depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, psychosis, alcohol or drug abuse, etc. If you know the person suffers from one of these illnesses and they mention suicide, get them help immediately.
Anxiety disorder is the bigger sphere of anxiety attacks and it includes conditions such as general anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and post traumatic stress disorder, just to name a few.
Tension headaches may also be caused by TMD, or Temporomandibular Disorder. People diagnosed with TMD are more likely to not only experience tension headaches, but those headaches tend to be worse and more frequent.

With nearly all modern wood stains, you don't need to use a wood conditioner. You can apply the wood stain—whether gel or liquid—directly to the door right after you've finished sanding it.
Painting the sole plates, balusters, rails, and wood strips before the installation is a good idea. Even if they are scratched during the installation process, touching up the damaged areas with paint takes very little time and prevents the possibility of dripping paint on the screen mesh later on.
If sections of your vinyl flooring are peeling up at the corners, use the same repair method for repairing bubbles, but eliminate the steps for making cuts in the vinyl.

Get Over a Girl You Love

Push yourself gently and avoid letting yourself wallow in your feelings. Understanding your feelings is one thing; languishing in a puddle of misery is quite another.
Allowing yourself to wallow is a bad idea. Don't merely wallow in misery, even if you want to feel and share those feelings.
Don't ever assume that crying makes you "weak." Crying is a natural human response to pain, whether it be physical or emotional. Allow yourself to cry, as bottling up your emotions can make you feel worse.
Time heals all wounds, as the saying goes, but time well-spent heals them more quickly. Take whatever time you need to mull over your feelings and sort them out, but don't get into the habit of wallowing in them. Push yourself to move on to more constructive behaviors whenever you're able.

Consider talking to someone who has started their own marketing consultancy business before you make your decision to pursue this career path. Ask about the challenges they faced in their first year and beyond to get a sense of what you will be up against.
Be patient if you are choosing to be a business analyst as a second (or later) career. It may take a while to ‘move up the ladder' and get your certifications in place. But, if you find a spot with a good company, it can be worthwhile.
Be patient as you are gaining experience. It may take some time before you feel fully prepared to pursue a career in journalism.
If you do not get hired as a train driver right away, that's okay! It takes time to find the right opportunity. Don't let that discourage you from pursuing this career path if it is truly what you want.

Bathe Your Pet Rabbit
xxx
Only bathe your rabbit when it is absolutely necessary. Rabbits, much like cats, lick themselves, swallowing the loose hair, thus letting us groom them less often.
Guinea pigs are good at grooming themselves, so you will not need to bathe your pregnant guinea pig frequently. Bathe her if she is no longer able to groom herself very well because of how big her belly is.
Never bathe a rabbit as a form of pampering or spoiling. Rabbits do not like getting wet and this will only serve to stress out your rabbit.
Please do not bathe your hamster with water. It strips it's fur of the natural oils and makes it easy for them to catch diseases, the most common and deadly being wet-tail. As a safe alternative, please give your hammy a sand bath.

While golden raisins are recommended for first-time picklers, there are many different types of raisins you could use, including Muscat, Sultana and currant. Each will feature a slightly different flavor profile.
Avoid eating Bergamot oranges raw. Unlike many other oranges, Bergamots are too bitter to be eaten raw.
Try different varieties of oranges, to see which you like best for juices. Valencia oranges have seeds, but are juicy; navels are easy to get at, are large, and have no seeds; Cara Cara's are sweet, and have a "tangy cranberry-like zing," according to Sunkist.
Seville oranges with bitter skin are considered the best for use in marmalade but you can also use Sicilian oranges.

Royal icing takes color well and is effective for lettering or decorating from a decorator's bag. Stiff, medium, and thin consistencies of the icing are used for various decorations.
The technique described above shows you how to use acrylic latex paint to achieve the same effect as more expensive glaze products. This method is simpler, less costly, and easier to clean up when finished.
Artists have other suggestions on thickening acrylic paint ranging from sprinkling in talcum powder to mixing in crushed eggshells. Experiment if you'd like to find a different method. Just remember that mixing other things into your paint could affect its color, finish, and drying ability.
Basic art blending techniques, like cross-hatching, hatching, scumbling, and a back and forth stroke can be used to good effect when blending Prismacolors.

Hair removal creams will fade the tan and reduce harsh lines, but do not leave them on your skin to settle. They will burn your skin. You can scrub them off right after application with a washcloth.
For sensitive skin, consider shaving with a moisturizer or sorbolene cream. It helps lubricate as well as protect the skin during the shaving process and is less likely to cause irritation.
If you have sensitive skin and are prone to razor bumps, shave your neck last to give the shaving products enough time to moisturize your skin and soften up the hair for a safe shaving.

Make sure to be careful about how much paint and supplies you own. Though more is sometimes better, most of the time it makes it harder to find the colors and tools you need!

When in doubt, pick up a couple of versions of each color to tinker with. Your level of expertise will guide you. As you improve as a painter, you may find that fewer colors are needed to do the task that many used to do.
Avoid mistakes by getting samples. Ask for fabric swatches and paint cards to determine how well certain pieces and colors coordinate with one another.

Instantly Remove Oxidation from Headlight Without Sandpaper
xxx
Glass that has been coated or has a film applied to it, including some eyeglasses, cannot be repaired this way. For those, you must remove the coating with a product such as Armour Etch.
Oxidation is a naturally reoccurring factor. It will rebuild on a surface it has been removed from, therefore the headlight lens must be sealed with another product after oxidation removal to help prevent recurrence of oxidation.
If cleaning tempered glass, such as that on a phone screen, use only non-abrasive cleaners that won't scratch the glass surface.
Typically, materials are chrome plated to protect them from rust. When rust develops, it is typically because the chrome has flaked away in spots, leaving the underlying iron or steel vulnerable to rust damage. In severe cases, the rust can spread to surrounding areas and cause bubbles underneath the chrome coating.

Get Your Cat to Sleep With You

Cats often snore or breathe loudly when they're asleep. This isn't necessarily a sign of feline asthma, so don't worry about this if your cat behaves normally when they're awake.
If your dog has a specific problem peeing on your bed, try washing your sheets more often. The main reason your pet pees on your bed is because it smells like you.
If your cat is very restless at night or cries and meows frequently, regardless of its sleeping location, it's likely that it is stressed or experiencing pain from a medical issue. Bring your feline friend to a veterinarian for a checkup and to discuss the situation.
Generally, snoring isn't dangerous in cats unless it's accompanied by physical or behavioral changes, but it's a good idea to have your vet check your cat if you do notice snoring. If the cat has other symptoms, like physical changes, behavioral changes, drooling, or difficulty eating or swallowing, you should take you...

Eat Burrata

If you want to use a lot of melted cheese in a recipe, mozzarella might be a better choice than burrata. The 2 cheeses have similar flavors when melted, but burrata is more expensive.
If possible, buy your bresaola pre-sliced or from a deli where they can do the slicing for you. Thin, delicate strips of bresaola are the best way to serve it and enjoy its flavor.

Catch a Lizard
xxx
Don't prepare food for others if you have diarrhea. Wash your hands regularly, especially after using the toilet, to prevent the spread of infection.
Always handle it with gloves on, and wash your hands after feeding it and touching it. They contain a lot of bird mites that can cause harm to humans. If you do not know what a bird mite is, handle the bird first without gloves and you will most likely see little dots running around your hands. Wash your hands afterwar...

Organize Your Middle School Locker
xxx
If you store your folded shirts in a shelving unit, consider adding more shelves so you have more storage space and don't have to stack your shirts as high.
If you want to maximize your locker space, invest in one or more locker shelves. These allow you to make use of vertical space to fit more supplies. Some shelves are even stackable.
If you buy a shelf, make sure that it will fit, some are too big for smaller lockers.
If you're short on storage space, consider buying a folding bike. As the name suggests, these can be folded up to make the bike easier to carry and store. They aren't especially fast, but they get the job done if you don't want a giant bike taking up tons of space in your apartment!

xxx
Take the garment to a professional dry cleaner if you cannot remove the stain on your own.
If you do not have any luck with the above methods, seek professional dry cleaning advice. The dry cleaner may be able to advise on a special cleaning solution, or clean the item for you.

Make a Sofa Slipcover
xxx
Try using a spatula or wooden spoon to smooth out your new slipcover. These items can easily press the cover into the creases of your sofa and can help the cover fit to your couch as snugly as possible.
Consider buying or making accent pillows to match to the new slipcover. If you bought your slipcover, most retailers will sell pillows with matching or complimentary designs. If you made your own slipcover, you can make a pillow from the same fabric as you used for your chair.
Keep the pattern in a safe place: this will save time if and when you want to sew a new sofa slipcover.
Buy a back up duvet cover so you can switch it out between washes or use it when your good duvet cover becomes dirty or stained. Get the back up duvet in the same color or pattern as your good one so it still matches your bedroom decor.

Do Different Braids
xxx
You can use these methods to create a set of braids instead. Part your hair down the middle with a rat-tail comb, then braid as usual.
If you want waves, put your hair in braids, then use a straightener and run it down your braids slowly. Then, take out you braids. Easy as pie!
Try braiding it while your hair is damp or even dry. You can apply gel and leave it in too. Make about four braids, one in the front right, front left, back left, and back right then spin each braid into its own bun. For best results, leave these (fairly tight) braids in over night.
As you complete each fishtail braid, make sure to grab sections of hair that are the same size. This will give your a uniformed look instead of an uneven braid.

Eat Cheese
xxx
If you make gluten-free bread regularly, it's a good idea to mix up a large batch of the gluten-free flour blend and store it in an airtight container in your pantry. That way, it'll be ready when you want to bake bread.
Even though cheese should be eaten at room temperature, it's best to keep cheese refrigerated to keep it from going rancid. When you are ready to eat it, take it out of the fridge, and let it reach room temperature first.
Store oat bran in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to keep it from going rancid. You don't need to thaw frozen oat bran before using it.
If you want to save space in your freezer, try storing eggplant purée instead. Bake slices of eggplant at 400 °F (204 °C), then remove the soft, inner portions and put them in freezer-safe bags. This way, they'll last about 1 year.

Get a Shot

Don't think about the shot if you worry yourself to the point of nausea. Belonephobia only affects 10% of the population. If you are part of the 10%, prepare yourself. The pain and shot will only last a second.
Lactic acidosis can also occur after very intense exercise, but this usually doesn't require medical attention because your body will filter the acids out on its own if you don't have any underlying medical problems. Rest and drink plenty of water to return to normal. If you continue to feel lightheaded or weak, seek m...
Remember, when your period first starts, it is almost 100% that it will be irregular. Do not worry or think you have some serious condition. It's all part of the cycle. Be ready for cramping and/or stomach aches too. But if you really do think you have a problem, find a doctor or a trusted adult.
The flu shot cannot give you the flu. Some people experience mild flu-like symptoms like low fever or body aches after getting the shot, which is just your body reacting to making antibodies. Any side effects from the shot are significantly milder and shorter-lasting than getting the flu.

Grow Plants from Seed
xxx
Pick out a garden plot outdoors for your seedlings long before planting; you may need to amend the soil or make other preparations in the time that your seeds are germinating.
To get an early start on your onion garden, plant onion sets in containers filled with moist potting soil two weeks before you want to put them in the garden. Keep the containers inside so they can sprout and develop a root system by the time you are ready to plant.
If you plant poppies in pots, thin the young seedlings down to one per pot once they reach 1 inch (2.5cm) in height. Use a biodegradable pot that can be planted directly in the soil if you plan to move them to your garden later, since poppies handle transplants poorly.
Mint is a creeping plant that can easily take over a garden. Try planting it in a large container to give the roots room to grow. Place your container in an area that gets lots of sunlight and keep the soil moist.

Use Parking Lot Etiquette
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.
Leave the rocks, plants, etc. in the curbed dividers for others to enjoy looking at, for the rain & snow to soak into, and to collect loose debris.
Be sure to clean up the faux snow. If you leave the faux snow, someone is bound to get annoyed at the mess. Recycle it if you can, if it landed on real snow, scoop up the snow and let it melt away leaving behind the items to be disposed of properly.
Have respect for the surroundings that are your new temporary home so that the natural beauty will be preserved for those who come after you.

Grow Begonias
xxx
To speed the growing process, begin with a small plant rather than seeds.
Begonias can be started from seed, but it takes about 4 months for them to be ready to go outdoors. The seeds are very delicate, so it is difficult to start your plants this way.
To grow new plants using an existing one, use clippings from the stem or the tips of the leaves.
Thin rhubarb every four to five years if the rows start to grow crowded. You can also divide the mature plants to make additional plants. To do this, carefully dig the plant up and use your hands to separate the crown into two pieces. Take care to ensure that each piece has at least one bud and an adequate root base. R...

Survive a School with No Lockers

If your school allows them, try to find a backpack that also has wheels so you can pull it instead of carry it. Your back and shoulders will thank you!
Get rid of your backpack for school and buy a vintage shoulder-bag. If you can't, add accessories to your backpack, or ask all your friends to sign on it.
If your parent tells you to keep it out of your room, have the laptop case handy. Fill the case with a hard cover book or two so if they lift it up, it has weight.
If your backpack has a strap at the bottom to hook around your waist, use it. This strap is designed to help keep your belongings upright and stable, which will minimize how heavy your bag feels.

Prepare Your Hair for Bleaching
xxx
It's a myth that shaved hairs will grow back thicker and darker. In reality, unshaved facial hairs tend to be wispy and may end up sun-bleached. When they're shaved, the ends are blunt but not actually thicker, and the color never deepens beyond the natural shade before it's sun-bleached.
Oil and masks are a boon to hair that will be bleached, has been bleached, or never will be bleached.
Dyes stick better to bleached hair. If you bleached your hair, keep in mind that the Jello color may last longer than you intended.

Talk to a Girl You Like for the First Time
xxx
Act confident even if you're not. We've all been in those situations that are uncomfortable and make us nervous. Appearing confident even though you may feel the opposite can help you to eventually feel actually confident, because people will respond to you and the situation will become less uncomfortable.
Stay focused and organize your conversation mentally. Be assertive and remember what you're there to do. Women want to know that you can talk well, make up your own sentences, and be friendly with other men. They want to see that you are assertive without being mean, pushy or unfriendly.
If you're feeling ignored, the best way to address it is to talk to your partner. Mention how it makes you feel so they understand where you're coming from.
If you're anxious at first, talk to her around other people until you feel comfortable talking to her by yourself. Be confident!
