Take and pass your contractor’s certification exam. File the necessary business documents. Acquire liability insurance. Purchase surety bonds. Receive for your contractor’s license. Register your business.

Like the licensing requirements, the content and format of the exam will vary depending on your location. However, the test will almost always include a comprehensive written section, on top of which you may be asked to describe or demonstrate key skills. Upon passing your exam, you’ll have between 1 and 4 years to complete the process of formally registering your business.  You can download a copy of the exam application from the Contractors State License Board website. To help you prep for the exam, test administrators recommend that you brush up on resources like the International Building Code, OSHA's 29. CFR 1926 manual and various textbooks geared toward painting and decorating craftsmen. For starters, you’ll need a general business license to begin taking on contract work. You may also have to have other specific licenses that permit you to operate in off-limits zones or handle certain materials. A separate home business permit will be required if you plan on using your own residence as the headquarters for your contracting business.  Business licenses are filed with the state or district that the work is to be performed in. As a result, they’ll only be recognized in those places.  The person with the contractor's license is known as the Responsible Managing Individual (RMI). You will need to name yourself as the RMI in your application documents. In the event of accident, injury or property damage, liability insurance will protect you from having your assets seized. Look into a few different providers to compare rates and see what sort of coverage they offer. Good insurance is absolutely critical for small business owners, who stand to lose a lot more should something go wrong.  The total monthly cost of insurance shouldn’t be more than a few hundred dollars.  In addition to general liability insurance, it might also be a good idea to have some form of completed operations or contract liability insurance in the event that there's a dispute over a finished project. Shop around until you find a policy...

Open the hood and locate the red coil wire. Get out your jump cables. Locate the starter solenoid. Unlock the steering wheel. Connect the solenoid to the positive battery terminal.

Both the plug and coil wires are located at the rear of almost all V8 engines. Four-cylinder engines have them placed on the right side, near the center of the engine. Six-cylinder engines are on the opposite: left side, near the center of the engine. Run a jump cable from the positive battery terminal to either the positive side of the coil, or the red wire that leads to the coil. This will give power to the dashboard, which is essential if you want to start the engine. On Ford cars, it is on the right-side fender well, near the battery. On GM cars, it is on the starter under the steering wheel. Place a flat blade screwdriver in the top center of the steering column, pushing between the wheel and the column. You want to push the locking pin away from the wheel. Don't worry, you're allowed to be rough here. The locking pin will not break or set off any alarms and you should be able to find the solenoid should be underneath. You will see a small wire at the top of the solenoid and the positive battery cable below. Remove the ignition switch wire from the solenoid and, using an insulated screwdriver, short the solenoid's positive post to the terminal where the ignition switch connects. Doing so will apply 12 volts directly from the battery. This should activate the solenoid, and the starter should crank the car.

Attach the Comcast coaxial cable to the box. Plug in one end of the HDMI cable. Plug the other end of the HDMI cable into the TV. Attach the power cable to a power source. Plug the other end of the power cable into the cable box. Plug back in your TV and turn it on. Change your TV's input if necessary. Set up your Comcast remote. Activate your cable box

Find the cable that Comcast installed—it will usually be sticking out of the floor or the wall behind your TV—and plug it into the metal coaxial input in the back of the cable box, then screw the connector clockwise to tighten it.  The cable's end has an attachment resembling a needle in the middle of it. Your cable box should have a coaxial cable included. If Comcast didn't install a cable for you, you can attach the other end of this cable to the coaxial input in the wall. It goes in the wide, narrow port in the back of the cable box. On most Comcast cable boxes, the HDMI port is either in the bottom-right corner of the box or at the bottom of the box's back. If you're using A/V cables instead, plug each cable into the same-colored port on the back of the box (e.g., plug the yellow cable into the yellow input). Find your preferred HDMI port on your TV, then attach the cable box to the port in question.  If you have a receiver with multiple HDMI ports plugged into your TV, you can plug your cable box's HDMI cable into the receiver instead. If you're using A/V cables instead, plug the cables into the same-colored ports on the back of your TV. Plug the power cable into a wall outlet or power strip. You should choose a power outlet close enough to the TV that you'll be able to place the box near the TV without stretching or bending any wires. You should see a circular power input on the back of the cable box; fit the end of the power cable into this input. This input is normally on the right-hand side of the box. Doing so will also turn on your Comcast cable box, though you may have to wait several minutes before the box is fully on. Press the "Input" or "Source" button on your TV or remote to switch to the input (e.g., HDMI 1) into which you plugged your Comcast box. Insert the batteries into your remote, then proceed with connecting it to your TV and cable box. Cable box and remote instructions vary from model to model, so consult your remote's manual for instructions on synchronizing the remote with your TV...

Eat something. Take pain medications if you have cramps. Drink water. Use a heat compress. Do yoga. Relax.

Make yourself a snack. Foods like almond butter, oranges, or hot tea can help reduce symptoms and make you feel better. Eating something can help take your mind off your period and help you to relax. Taking an anti-inflammatory medicine like ibuprofen can significantly ease cramps, headaches, or other symptoms.  Read the instructions and follow the recommended dosage precisely. Only do this if you are allowed to take medication when you are home alone. If you are not sure, be sure to call or text a parent. Staying hydrated can help ease your period symptoms, reduce cramping, bloating, and help your mood.  Try to drink eight glasses of water per day. If you don’t like water, try adding a slice of lemon or lime, or try bubbly water instead.  You may think drinking water will increase bloating, but this is actually caused by dehydration. The best way to combat bloating is to drink more water. Applying some heat to your lower stomach can do wonders for cramps. Scientists claim it can work as well as taking pain-killers for up to an hour.  Plug in a heating pad to let it warm up. Place a heating pad, hot water bottle, or warm damp paper towel on your belly or lower back until you feel relief. Make sure it is wrapped in fabric or you have a t-shirt between your skin and the heat compress so you don't burn yourself or irritate your skin. A little bit of stretching can help your abdominal muscles relax, which means less cramping. Yoga can also bring down your anxiety level and help you to feel better. The best thing for you to do is to stay calm and stress-free. Do things that you enjoy and get your mind off of having your period. Take this time to pamper yourself or just have a little down time.  Watch a movie. Paint your nails. Take a hot bath.

The more money you have, the more you can invest, the more you can earn, and the more you can save.

The second thing to understand

Know the key terms. Learn how compounding returns work. Use a time-weighted return to calculate your compound rate of return. Calculate your overall return. Know the Excel formulas for these calculations.

In discussing annualized portfolio returns, there are several key terms that will come up repeatedly and are important for you to understand. These are as follows:  Annual Return: Total return earned on an investment over a period of one calendar year, including dividends, interest, and capital gains.   Annualized Return: Yearly rate of return which is inferred by extrapolating returns measured over periods either shorter or longer than one calendar year.   Average Return: Typical return earned per time period calculated by taking the total  return realized over a longer period and spreading it evenly over the (shorter) periods.   Compounding Return: A return that includes the results of re-investing interest, dividends, and capital gains.    Period: A specific length of time chosen to measure and calculate return, such as daily, monthly, quarterly, or annually. Periodic Return: The total return of an investment measured over a specific length of time. Compounding returns are growth on the gains that you have already earned. The longer your money compounds, the faster it will grow, and the greater your annualized returns will be. (Think of a snowball rolling downhill, getting bigger faster as it rolls.)  Let’s say you invest $100 and earn 100% on it your first year, leaving you with $200 at the end of year one. If you gain just 10% in the second year, you will have earned $20 on your $200 by the end of year two. However, if we say you earned just 50% during the first year, you would have $150 at the beginning of the second year. That same 10% gain in year two would earn 15 dollars rather than 20. This is a full 33% less than the 20 dollars you would have made in our first example. To further illustrate, let’s say you lost 50% in year one, leaving you with just 50 dollars. You would then need to earn 100% just to get back to even (100% of $50 = $50, and $50 + $50 = $100). The size and timing of gains play a huge role when accounting for compound returns and their effect on annualized returns. In other words,...

Act a little tired on the afternoon or night of the party. Confirm your plans. Follow your usual evening routine. Wait patiently until it’s safe to start getting ready to go. Put a decoy in place.

This may help fool your parents and keep suspicion minimal. Don’t overdo it, but yawn a bit and mention that you’re feeling tired. If you want to sneak out successfully (and you do!), you’ll need to prepare and plan as much as possible in advance. Give yourself a couple of days to coordinate everything and confirm with your friends via text that the plan is still the same. When is the party? Where? How are you going to get there? Is there going to be drinking? Is it an all-nighter or will you have to leave after a while? Is there any chance of the police showing up? Are your friends going? How? Are their parents okay with it? This is all vital information! Shower, get into your nightclothes, eat dinner, watch television, do your homework - just act normal. Chill out at home until it's almost bedtime. Maybe watch something fun to get you in the party mood (without being obvious). When bedtime comes around, act sleepy. Say goodnight to your parents. Act normal and be believable. Go to bed as usual and turn off the lights. While in bed waiting for your parents to retire, you may want to listen to music with your headphones or read a book to pass the time. Whatever you decide, make sure to have as little light showing as possible. Once you know your parents have gone to bed, wait at least a half an hour to make sure they’re sound asleep. If your parents check on you before they go to bed, make sure that you pretend to be asleep when they come in. If they don't, then you're lucky and you can probably start getting ready earlier. It’s the oldest trick in the book, but it wouldn’t hurt to put a couple of pillows underneath your blanket to represent you, just in case a parent does wake up and comes to your room to check on you. Fluff the pillows and arrange them a little so that everything looks believable. If your room is dark and someone pops in for a look, they should be fooled by this.

If you’re feeling really stuck when you sit down to write, try a word association exercise to help engage your imagination. Open a dictionary, pick a word at random, and write down everything that comes to mind on the topic. This can be a good way to loosen up before you start writing, and you might even find a story idea as you’re reading through the list of words you came up with.  Choose something like “freedom,” and write everything that reminds you of freedom, such as birds, flying, or open sky. If you’re writing a report, do word association with the topic you want to write about. This can help you narrow down the focus of your paper before you even start researching. For instance, if you’re assigned to write about Abraham Lincoln, you might write words like “top hat,” “penny,” “Lincoln memorial,” “assassination,” “John Wilkes Booth,” “Gettysburg Address,” “Emancipation Proclamation,” and “Lincoln-Douglas debates.” Then, you might choose the area you’re most interested in as your topic. to generate ideas. Freewriting helps you get words on the page, regardless of theme or intention of the piece. Choose a topic, open up to a fresh page, and write. Don’t worry about what you are writing, just focus on filling the page. You can come back to your writing and expand upon it later, or do this just get the gears turning for your next piece.  Write a narrative or free associations. You can write for a certain amount of time or until you fill up a certain number of pages. This is your choice. For example, you might choose to write about tigers. Write everything that comes to mind about tigers, such as when you saw them at the zoo when you were 5, or what it would be like to be a tiger in the jungle. You could use this for a blog post on tigers, or simply to get ideas for your new novel. Music can help you concentrate, and it can also inspire your creativity, allowing you to think of new ideas. Turn on your favorite music, or try a new genre, like folk, classical, or instrumental. Then, think about your writing...

Figure out how wide to open your mouth. Think about what your eyes are doing. Distract the eye with other aspects of your appearance. Find your best angle. Practice your smile.

There are all types of smiles - wide, toothy grins that show all of your teeth, more subtle smiles that put just the top row of teeth on display, mostly closed-mouth smiles that reveal just a glimmer of white, and completely closed smiles that show no teeth at all. By choosing how wide to open your mouth, you can control how the world sees your teeth.  Practice different degrees of openness to see which smile looks best on you. It's your smile, and there are no rules about how it should look! That said, try to get comfortable revealing at least a glimpse of your teeth when you smile, because it's very hard to keep your mouth closed when you smile out of happiness. Aim to smile in a way that helps you look your best while also creating a natural-looking expression of cheer. Keep in mind that a smile is often the first impression we have of other people. Think about meeting someone for the first time: what would impression would you get if they seemed to be making an effort to keep their mouth closed instead of breaking into a full smile? It's better to reveal some teeth and have your smile look natural than to close your mouth and look as though you are hiding something. Projecting confidence is more important than projecting perfection, so open up! Perhaps you've heard of smizing - the act of smiling with your eyes, not just your mouth. Engaging your eyes as part of your smile automatically helps it read as more authentic and pleasant. For those who are worried about how their teeth look, smiling with the eyes can draw attention to the top of the face and away from the mouth. Smiling with your eyes - also called a Duchenne smile - enables you to have a bright, happy smile without needing to open your mouth wide.  Try it in the mirror. First, smile without using your eyes. Do you see the jack-o-lantern effect? The smile doesn't look happy, it looks . . . a little scary and fake. Now try smiling with your whole face, especially your eyes. This type of smile looks like a true expression of happiness. Practice...

Major in a field related to activism. Seek internships. Look for activist jobs.

If you are in college or getting ready to start college, consider majoring in a field that will help you support your cause. For example, you could major in a field like organizational leadership, or you could focus on something more specific to the cause you are interested in, e.g., environmental science or women’s studies. If you're new to the workforce, internships can be a great way to begin a career as an activist. During college or just after college, look for internships related to your interests. See if your favorite grassroots organizations and non-profits offer internships. Talk to your college advisor about where to find internships related to activism. Completing one or more relevant internships can put you on the right track to becoming a career activist. Some degree programs may require you to complete an internship to graduate. Make sure you check your graduation requirements and complete an internship if it's necessary for your degree. If you are ready to start working, look for jobs that are relevant to your interests. See if charities and grassroots organizations you believe in having any open positions that are suited to your skills. For example, if you have strong writing and editing skills, see if you can work as a copywriter for a grassroots organization. If you have skills with planning and coordinating events, look for work as a volunteer coordinator. Basically, whatever job skills you have are probably useful to some activist organization out there that supports your cause — they may need accountants, drivers, cooks, carpenters, doctors, etc.

Learn the screening guidelines. Consider getting screened based on your age. See your doctor. Consult your doctor about other test options. Consider your Gleason score.

Different organizations (American Cancer Society, American Urological Association, American College of Physicians, etc.) differ in their screening recommendations. While some recommend yearly screenings after a certain age, the CDC does not recommend PSA-based screening in men unless they have symptoms. The most important factors in prostate cancer screening for the individual rely on personal, informed decision making. While different medical organizations have differing opinions on when and how to be screened for prostate cancer, it is generally a good idea to consider screening at:  40 years of age for the highest risk individuals — Men at the highest risk have more than one immediate family member who has been diagnosed with prostate cancer at a relatively early age. 45 years old for those with high risk — This population generally includes African American men and individuals with one close relative (father, son, or sibling) who has been previously diagnosed with prostate cancer before the age of 65. 50 years old for men with an average risk — Average risk is essentially all other men. Note that this only applies to those with a life expectancy beyond the next 10 years due to the slow-spreading nature of prostate cancer. While you may be able to identify symptoms that suggest prostate cancer, only your doctor will be able to accurately diagnose the disease. If you have symptoms and risk factors for prostate cancer, your doctor will initially perform two tests and weigh the results along with your symptoms (if any) to determine the next step. These initial tests include:  A digital rectal exam (DRE), which is where your doctor inserts his finger into your rectum and presses on your prostate to feel for abnormalities relating to size, firmness, and/or texture. A prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level test, which measures a protein made by the prostate.  This involves drawing blood to check your PSA levels. In general, a PSA under 5 ng/mL is considered normal, and a PSA above 10 ng/mL indicates a risk of...

Transfer the hot mixture into a Pyrex measuring cup to pour it into your sugar molds. Allow the cough drops to harden and cool in the sugar or candy molds before storing.

There are several suggestions for herbal medicines that are effective at treating coughs and colds.   Elderberry and elderflower has been used to relieve congestion. Slippery elm has been traditionally used by Native Americans to treat coughs and gastrointestinal conditions. Chamomile may be an effective treatment for coughs as it can help to reduce inflammation and mucus production. To make a strong tea, place a generous pinch of each herb into a cup of water in a saucepan. Heat the water and herbs to a simmer on high heat, then cover and reduce the heat. Let the tea steep for 15 to 20 minutes over the lowest heat. Strain out the herbs and reserve 1/2 cup of the tea for the cough drops. You can make DIY molds rather than using candy molds to make cough drops using sugar and a baking sheet.  In a 9 x 13 pan or any cookie sheet, add a few cups of powdered sugar. Use your finger or a measuring spoon to make indentations in the sugar. This is where you will pour the syrup for your cough lozenges. Start by putting the 1/2 cup of herbal tea from Step 1 into a saucepan, then add 1.5 cups of honey and 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract.  Use a medium to medium-high heat to heat up the ingredients. Stir constantly to make sure all the ingredients are mixed. Clip a candy thermometer on the side of the pan to monitor the temperature. You will want it to get to about 300 °F (149 °C). This will allow the liquid to harden into lozenges as it cools.  The mixture may get slightly foamy as it heats up. If this occurs, give the cough drop liquid a stir. You will be able to tell once the mixture gets near to the correct temperature as it will thicken. This process generally takes about 30 minutes. Once the liquid is at a temperature of 300 degrees, remove it from the heat. Pour slowly and carefully.  Pour the hot liquid into each of the small depressions in the powdered sugar on the baking sheet you prepared earlier. Alternatively, you can use a greased candy mold. If you don't have a candy mold or don't want to use sugar, you...

Locate your power steering fluid tank. Make sure the fluid is warm. Turn the engine back off. Remove the power steering cap by turning it counter-clockwise. Track down your master cylinder (brakes) reservoir. Check your windshield washer tank.

The manual should also tell you how much of each fluid you need, and the type of antifreeze your car uses. If one of the warning lights is lit on your dashboard, you can check the manual for what the light indicates (usually oil or coolant). When one of these lights are on, it is a sign that a leak is possible. If you are pointing uphill or downhill the fluid in your tanks may read more or less than is actually there. It is important to check fluids on level ground. In many vehicles it usually has a yellow handle. If you have difficulty locating the dipstick, look in your owner's manual.  Pull out the dipstick, wipe it off with a paper towel or rag, and reinsert it. Pull the dipstick out again and examine it horizontally. There are two indicator marks, one is the top level and the other the lower level. The amount of oil should be between these two marks.  Wipe off the dipstick with a towel and place it back into the reservoir tank if it is at a normal level. If it isn't between the two lines, this indicates a possible oil leak. Do this when your engine is cold, and look to see if the fluid level is between the hot and cold marks on the tank. Sometimes you may have to take off the radiator cap to see clearly, depending on the color of your tank. If the fluid is below the cold line or is completely empty, you definitely have an antifreeze leak. This is the reservoir for your power steering fluid. Let your engine run at idling speed for a few minutes and turn the steering wheel back and forth several times. This should be done before proceeding to checking your fluid levels. The dipstick is usually built into the cap with an indicator mark. If the liquid is below this mark or there's none on the stick, then you may have a leak. There should be a marker line on the side of the reservoir. If you cannot see the fluid clearly, you can unscrew the cap and look inside.  If the fluid is very low or gone, you have a leak. It is normal to have a slight decrease in fluid if your brake pads are worn down. If you think...

You can help yourself maintain a lead or get a lead by playing certain types of words. If you are trailing your opponent(s), your best bet is to play words that will open up the board and give you opportunities to make better plays. If you are in the lead, then you should play words that will keep the board closed off to your opponents and reduce their opportunities to make better plays. Advanced Scrabble players are always looking ahead to what their opponents might do. Get into the habit of considering what your opponent may do if you play a certain word and try to block any premium squares that your opponent may want to use during his or her turn. Keep in mind that blocking your opponent may not always be possible, but if you do it whenever possible, it may help you to hold onto your lead and win the game.

The word worse is a comparative adjective. It is used to compare the characteristics of the objects it modifies.
The word worse is a comparative adjective. It is used to compare the characteristics of the objects

Know the definition of worse. Use worse to compare 2 things. Use worse with than. Use worse to describe something in a state of deterioration. Be aware of the implied comparison.

Worse means "of a lower quality; less attractive, pleasing, etc; more serious or severe." Worse is a form of the word bad. Worse is an example of a comparative adjective. Comparative adjectives are used to compare the characteristics of the objects they modify. They will be used with 2 nouns in a sentence, which include physical objects, concepts, places, and people.  I think eggplant is worse than boiled cabbage, but that's just my opinion. That red dress looks worse on you than the white one. Which is worse for your health, smoking or drinking? Since worse is a comparative word, it is commonly used with the word than when comparing the 2 nouns. The sentences commonly following the following pattern:  Noun + verb + comparative adjective + than + noun.  Winter weather is worse than summer weather. One tricky use of worse is when 2 or more objects act as a group noun and you need to refer to them as a single object. The car is worse than the other 2 you showed me. In this example, the 2 things being compared are car and the other 2, which functions as one object. There are still 2 things being compared. Although this situation commonly only lists one thing, technically speaking, you are still comparing 2 things - one state of being to another. Often, one of these states is implied instead of mentioned outright.  This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. I think my handwriting is worse [than it was before]. I am feeling worse [than I was before] In some sentences, the than is implied. That means there won't be 2 things being compared in the sentence; the second thing will be implied. Look for a combination of “than” along with a noun to spot an implied comparison. Bob and Fred are bad drivers, but I think Bob is worse [than Fred].

Select an anti-dandruff shampoo for mild dandruff. Find a shampoo for severe dandruff. Use the shampoo. Reduce shampooing frequency as condition improves.

There are many different substances that can treat dandruff. For mild dandruff without much inflammation or itching, look for shampoos containing salicylic acid or urea, which break apart dead skin cells. Because there is a chance of drying out the scalp and causing even more dandruff, it is recommended to use it in combination with a moisturizing conditioner to neutralize the side effect. If your flakes are thick, white, and found on the scalp (either alone or in addition to the hair), your problem is likely caused by a species of yeast-like fungus called malassezia. Malassezia is a skin surface yeast that has been targeted as a contributing cause of dandruff in people.  This yeast may also have a role in affecting immune systems. For these more severe cases, find a shampoo that lists ketaconozole (at least 1% strength) or ciclopirox in its ingredients. Selenium sulfide (at least 1%) is also effective, but users often dislike the oils it causes to build up on their scalp.   A doctor can prescribe you stronger shampoos than are available over the counter, including 2% ketaconozole anti-fungal shampoo. This is most often prescribed as a foam/shampoo to be used twice a week for initial dandruff relief. After that, it is recommended to be used once a week or every other week. You can also be prescribed a shampoo with 1% ciclopirox , which can be applied twice every week.  If you have black, coarse hair, which may dry out excessively from daily shampoo application, consider a topical steroid ointment instead  such as fluocinolone acetonide. This can be applied as a pomade to dry hair. To apply the shampoo, wet your hair, then massage the dandruff shampoo into your scalp. Let it sit in your hair for five to 10 minutes before rinsing it out. Use your anti-dandruff shampoo once a day, until the flaking, itching, and inflammation is less severe.   If you notice no improvement after a few days of using anti-dandruff shampoo, try a shampoo with a different ingredient. Since dandruff is often caused by a species of...

There are two components to ADHD. For children under the age of 17, at least six of these must be present for an ADHD diagnosis. The first set of symptoms deal with an inability to pay attention or focus. A child with an attention disorder will exhibit the following symptoms:  makes careless mistakes, is inattentive to detail has trouble paying attention (tasks, playing) doesn’t seem to be paying attention when someone is talking to him or her doesn’t follow through (homework, chores, jobs); easily sidetracked is organizationally challenged avoids tasks requiring sustained focus (like schoolwork) can’t keep track of or often loses keys, glasses, papers, tools, etc. is easily distracted is forgetful The other category of symptoms related to ADHD suggests hyperactivity or a lack of impulse control. People with ADHD must display six or more of the following:  fidgety, squirmy; taps hands or feet runs/climbs inappropriately or feels restless struggles to play quietly/do quiet activities “on the go” as if “driven by a motor” excessive talking blurts out answers before questions are asked struggles to wait for his or her turn interrupts others, inserts self into others’ discussions/games The brains of persons with ADHD are slightly different than others. Specifically, two structures tend to be smaller: the basal ganglia and the prefrontal cortex.  The basal ganglia regulates the movement of muscles. It signals which should be working and which should be at rest during given activities.  If a child is sitting at his desk in the classroom, the basal ganglia should send a message telling the feet to rest. In the case of ADHD, the feet may not get the message. They often remain in motion when a child with ADHD is seated. A deficiency of the basal ganglia often can also cause fidgety hand movements or pencil tapping. The prefrontal cortex is the brain’s hub for conducting higher-order tasks. It is where memory and learning and attention regulation come together to help us function intellectually.  The prefrontal cortex...

Educate yourself. Sustain your support. Avoid certain behaviors. Don't take things personally.

Addiction is a chronic problem that leads to poor decision making and problems at home, work, and social life. Many addicts think they can control their behavior yet struggle to do so. They may actively seek escape from stress or worries of life and may not know how else to cope outside of alcohol.   Alcoholics are not bad people, they are people who struggle to cope with daily life. Before you decide to help someone, consider whether they show signs of being an alcoholic. These may include trying to cut back and not being able to, spending a lot of time drinking or recovering from hangovers, engaging in risky behaviors due to drinking, having issues with family and friends because of their drinking, or having to drink more than they used to.  The effect of alcohol is biphasic, which means that when BAC (blood alcohol concentration) levels are rising, the stimulant properties of alcohol are more pronounced; when BAC levels are falling, the depressant effects of alcohol are more pronounced. When you are approaching a person who has been drinking they likely will have two different reactions: they may feel positive and stimulated when BAC is rising and may feel alone, depressed, or even suicidal when BAC is dropping. Affirm any positive choices they make. Point out positive behaviors and steps forward the person makes, even if it doesn't involve treatment. Stay positive in your interactions with the person. Let the person know that they can count on you for support and positive feedback. Recovery is often an ongoing process. Even if the person agrees to get help, they may change their mind or experience slip-ups. Support the person in their ups and downs, and support them attending meetings, treatment, and support groups. If someone has made it clear to you that they do not want help, don't force the issue. Don't constantly bring up conversations about alcohol. Don't pressure the person, either. While you may interpret the situation as dire, the person may still be in denial about their problems, and your...

Once you have a business plan in place and are ready to actually start setting up your business, your first step should be to contact your local government to determine what legal requirements with which you must comply in order to properly run a child-care business in your county. You should ask this office:  What sort of business license you need to operate your business, and how to obtain this license. What sort of building codes you must meet. What sort of occupancy laws are in effect in your county (i.e., how many children will you be able to take care of legally?). You can also contact your local child-care agency (an arm of state government) by typing in your zip code on this website and clicking "search for your local agency." If you plan to operate your child-care business out of your home, then this step is already complete. If you plan to open a separate facility, however, you will need to choose one that is in a good location that you can afford based on your budget. You will also need to consider, depending on your available funding, whether you will buy or rent this space. If you are looking for a location outside of your home, consider the following factors when making your selection:  Is the location convenient for parents? Does public transportation serve your proposed location? Is the area safe? Is the space adequate for the business you intend to run there? Does it have adequate kitchen/bathroom facilities/fixtures? You will have to make sure that your proposed location complies with local zoning laws. To do this, contact your county's zoning office and inquire as to whether your proposed location is properly zoned for child care. This should consist of tasks like installing cabinet locks, setting up changing tables if you are servicing infants and/or toddlers, putting up smoke detectors, and inserting electrical outlet covers. You may also need to post an emergency evacuation plan. If you do not pass the first time, you will likely be given an opportunity to correct the errors and arrange...

Select a well-draining pot that is 25% bigger than the lemon-tree bulb. Use well-draining, composted soil to cover the bulb of the tree. Fertilize the soil surface only so you don’t disturb the roots of the tree. Water your lemon tree every 10 to 14 days. Keep your tree in a location where it won’t be sitting in water.

The bulb consists of the roots and the clumped dirt that is attached to them. If you buy your tree from a nursery, it may already be in an appropriately-sized container—just ask the sales associate to make sure. If you do need to re-pot it, look for a 5 US gal (19 L) pot for a 2 to 3 year-old tree or a 10 US gal (38 L) pot for trees older than that. A pot bigger than 15 US gal (57 L) will be really hard to move around. Pick sandy or loamy soil for an option that drains well. Avoid using soil made with clay or that has heavy alkaline levels. Cover the bulbed part of the tree (the roots and the dirt attached to the roots), but stop when you get to the base of the roots.  Lemon trees are pretty hardy and can grow in many different types of soil, though the loamy soil is the preferred type. If you want to test the pH level, aim for a reading between 5.5 and 6.5 for optimal growth. If the soil is too acidic, you could add a base like compost or manure to the soil. If the soil isn’t acidic enough, add a compound made of powdered limestone. Fertilize the tree every 1 to 2 months during the spring and summer and every 2 to 3 months during the fall and winter. Use a citrus-specific fertilizer, and only apply it to the top of the soil; don’t mix it in with the rest of the soil. Spring and summer are the active-growing months; fall and winter are the dormant months. Water the tree while slowly counting to 20. Stop once you notice water starting to come out of the bottom of the pot; if after 20 seconds you still don’t see water coming out of the pot, continue counting and watering for an additional 10 seconds. If your climate is particularly dry, keep an eye on the soil and the leaves of the tree. If the soil is dry to the touch or if the leaves are drooping, water the tree. During the hottest months, you may need to water it once or twice a week. While lemon trees need a lot of water, they also shouldn’t be left to sit in water. If the pot is outside, place it somewhere that rainwater will flow away from it rather than...

Preach the need. Explain the process. Say a prayer. Set the tone.

Before you can call unbelievers to the altar, you need to make sure they understand what the call is actually about. This means that you'll need to deliver a powerful sermon that doesn't shy away from the truth about sin, repentance, and the urgency of accepting Christ as Savior.  Preach the gospel. Make sure that your message is derived from the Bible's teachings on repenting and believing.  Don't shy away from the harsh reality of sin. You won't be able to stress the importance of salvation without explaining the consequence of living and dying without it. Your message should clearly explain that accepting Jesus is equivalent to being rescued, not a trick you can use to make your life better. Stress the importance of repentance alongside forgiveness. Explain "church lingo" each time you use it. Terms that you might use regularly, like "born again," "saved," and "repent," can be completely unfamiliar to nonbelievers. Announce the altar call after you finish the sermon. As you make the announcement, explain how the process will work physically and how it should work spiritually. Spelling out the steps can make potential converts feel more at ease. The fear of the unknown can cause plenty of people to hesitate, but describing each stage of the altar call in advance can remove some of that fear. Lead the congregation in prayer at the start of the altar call. Ask God to move the hearts of those who still need to accept Him and to continue working in the hearts and lives of those who already have. Even though the focus is on those who need to repent and accept Christ, you need to address current believers in your prayer, too. Everyone should be able to benefit from this opportunity for spiritual renewal. Play soft music in the background. Dim the lights, but make sure that there is still enough light to maintain visibility.  The idea is to make the environment peaceful since peace encourages reflection.

Purchase some sodium thiosulfate at your local department store. Mix 1 tbsp (14.3 g) of sodium thiosulfate with 1 cup (240 mL) of warm water. Take a clean white cloth and dip it in the diluted sodium thiosulfate. Blot the stain with the damp cloth until the fabric absorbs the liquid. Wash and dry the fabric as you normally would.

Sodium thiosulfate, also known as photograph fixer, can be used to neutralize the effects of bleach stains on fabric. It can be purchased at local department and pet stores, or it can be purchased through big-box stores and online retailers.  Find products that are advertised as chlorine neutralizers. Those will contain the sodium thiosulfate needed to treat the bleach stain on the fabric.  This works well as an immediate treatment. If the stain has been sitting for a while, the diluted solution might not remove the stain entirely, but instead make it considerably less noticeable. Mix the solution in a bowl or a plastic basin you solely use for cleaning purposes. Make sure to stir this diluted solution with a disposable spoon until all of the sodium thiosulfate is dissolved. You don’t have to use a white cloth to do this, any old cloth with work fine. Just know that a cloth that is not white will retain stains from the bleach you are lifting from the fabric. Use cotton balls if you do not have a clean cloth. Make sure to blot the fabric and not rub it. If you rub the fabric with the diluted solution you could potentially damage the fabric. Rinse the fabric in cold water if the stain is still visible. Then treat it again with the diluted sodium thiosulfate. Continue to treat the fabric until the stain is reduce to your liking. Even if you have rinsed the fabric in cold water, you need to make sure that all of the diluted sodium thiosulfate is gone. Separately wash the fabric so the item is clean and ready for you to wear.

Select a mild liquid dish-washing soap. Mix 1 tbsp (15 mL) of mild soap with 1 c (250 mL) cooking oil. Combine 2 1/2 tsp (12 mL) of the mixture with 1 c (250 mL) of water. Pour this new mixture into a large squirt bottle. Test the mix by spraying it onto a small portion of your plant. Spray the mixture anywhere you have problems.

Avoid anti-bacterial, scented, and other specialized soaps, since these may damage your plants. Dawn and castile soap are both great choices. Measure out both ingredients and pour them into a large bowl. Use either canola or vegetable cooking oil for best results. Stir the ingredients well to mix them thoroughly. Use a funnel to easily transfer the mixture into the spray bottle. Give the mixture another vigorous shake once you get it inside the bottle. If the section of the plant you test the spray on wilts or changes color, try using a different soap for this pesticide or another type of pesticide. If you tested your solution and it did not cause any harm to your plant, spray it around your entire plant, including the undersides of leaves. Focus on areas where pests lay their eggs, since an oil spray is designed to target eggs and immature bugs. Use the spray during the early morning or late afternoon, since direct sunlight could burn your plants after using oil.

Carry someone out of a car. Drag someone by the legs. Drag someone by the shoulders. Carry the victim only when absolutely necessary.

A possibly injured victim should be left in place whenever possible, since moving may cause injury. If the car is burning or there is another reason the victim must move immediately, follow these instructions:  Move the victim's legs clear of the pedals. Rotate the victim so her back faces the open car door. Lock your arms under her armpits and in front of her chest. Drag the victim to a safe location, supporting her head with your body. If her legs or feet catch on the car, slowly lower her to the ground, lift her legs out by hand, then drag using the next step. If the ground is smooth and there are no obvious leg injuries, use this technique to move the victim out of the danger area. Crouch low and grab the patient's ankles. Lean back and pull the victim to safety. Leaning back uses your own body weight as leverage, allowing you to drag someone much heavier than yourself.  To reduce the risk of self-injury, do not extend your arms more than 15–20 inches (38–51cm). Flex your arms slowly backwards, then reposition yourself before pulling again.  Some first aid agencies do not like this method because it drags the victim's head along the ground. For this reason, never use it on rough ground. Bend over next to the top of the person's head. Grasp the victim's clothing underneath the shoulders, supporting her head with your arm. Drag backward. Alternatively, pull the victim's arms above her head. Grip the elbows, pressing them against the victim's head to support it. Use this method if the victim's clothing is torn or weak. Carrying someone is a last resort in an emergency. It can make an injury worse, or expose the victim to smoke inhalation during a fire. Use it only when immediate movement is necessary, and dragging is not possible.  If the victim is unconscious, it can take considerable strength to lift her to a standing position. To do this, roll the person onto her stomach. Kneel at the top of her head, and place both arms under her armpits. Grasp her back and stand by pushing with your legs, keeping both...

If you're not sure whether you need vaccinations are not, the CDC's website has recommendations based on the type of traveler you are and where you plan to travel. If you're going somewhere chilly and your body isn't used to a colder climate, be sure to bring plenty of layers. You'll want socks, gloves, a thick coat, a sweater, the whole nine yards. You researched the weather, right? What's it like? You may want to bring a few "just in case" pieces. If there's a legitimate chance it could rain, bring an umbrella or a raincoat. A couple pairs of shoes, tennis shoes included, is good, too. You never know when you may wind up going on a spontaneous romantic hike. In general, it's good to not load up on cheap souvenirs. As cute as many of the "Just Married" trinkets can be wherever you go, keep in mind that you will put out very few or none of these things in the future. That money is better put to having a nice dinner or doing an activity you won't have the opportunity to try for some time. That being said, you'll probably want a couple of things to remember your trip by, so leave a bit of room in your pack just in case. Postcards are a good, small trinket to take back (useful, too).

TL;DR in English:


Add more weight on a day that you feel good. Do a warm-up before you start lifting. Add a little weight at a time. Lift heavy weights for compound exercises. Exercise with about 10% less than the maximum you can lift. Increase your rest time between sets when you lift more weight. Make a schedule and balance your workout.

If you’re feeling tired or sore, adding more weight could leave you especially vulnerable to injury. Instead, wait for a day when you feel strong and energetic. A proper warm-up will increase the oxygen in your bloodstream and your muscles, helping reduce the risk of injury and helping prevent or relieve muscle soreness. Before you lift, try 5-10 minutes of light cardio activity, like push-ups, sit-ups, jogging on a treadmill, or riding a stationary bike. Adding too much weight too fast can cause you to injure yourself. You should increase the weight by no more than 10 percent at a time to your routine to ensure your body stays challenged. Compound lifts, like squats, deadlifts, and lunges, are great for working multiple muscle groups at once. Use heavier weights for these exercises. Don’t strain your body by lifting the absolute most you can every time. This will increase your risk of injury and can lead your body to plateau. Dial it back to about 90% of the most you can lift, then increase a little every 2-4 weeks. Give your body time to recover between sets when you increase your weights. If you normally rest 30-45 seconds between sets, try resting for 60-90 seconds instead. You may need to rest longer if you are performing compound exercises and lifting 90 percent of your maximum weight. Make sure you are alternating your exercises to ensure you equally balance all of your muscle groups. Think about training your pushing and pulling muscles (like your hamstrings vs your quads) equally, as well as balancing your arms, legs, chest, and back. Set up a schedule so you know what muscle group you’ll focus on each day.

Find your ride. Be cautious if you plan to drive yourself. Drive safely.

Walking or catching a bus late at night, especially on your own, is dangerous. Avoid this if at all possible. Taxis and Uber’s are an acceptable choice, but those can be expensive and as a teen, you should never catch a ride late at night on your own. Always try to go there with other people if possible.  Your best choice is getting a lift from a friend who drives. Organize in advance a place for them to pick you up; usually around the corner from your house or a short distance down the street from where you live is ideal. Have them park at a nearby parking lot if you are worried that your parents will wake up easily. If someone is picking you up, tell them beforehand not to have any loud music playing in their car when they are arrive, just to be safe. Avoid turning on your headlights in your driveway because they likely will shine into your house. Switch your headlights on once you get on the street. The last thing you want is to be pulled over by a police officer for a traffic violation when you are in the middle of sneaking out! Follow all speed limits and be extremely cautious in everything you do while on the way to the party.  Avoid very loud music that might draw attention when you’re in the middle of a red light. Of course, always wear your seatbelt.

Have a garage sale. Participate in a flea market. Rent your things. Dress designing or stitching. Paint or craft. Sell entertainment. Take your items to a pawn shop. Sell used books.

A garage sale is a great way to get rid of unwanted household items and make money in the process! Staples of garage sales include old clothing, books, toys, household knickknacks, lawn and garden tools, sports equipment, and board games. Larger items like furniture and occasionally home appliances are also sold. Garage sales take time and preparation, so make sure to start planning well in advance.  Set a date. Pick a date 2-3 weeks ahead of time. This will give you time to plan and advertise your sale. When setting a date, be conscious of the time of year and be sure to take weather and temperature into account. You are less likely to have good traffic on very hot or very cold days and rain is major deterrent. Advertise your garage sale in local newspapers, on community bulletin boards and on Craigslist. The more people who are aware that your garage sale is taking place, the more people who will show up! Gather items for sale. This should be done in the weeks leading up to your garage sale. Go through old boxes in the garage, attic and under the stairs. Walk from room to room and gather any items you no longer want or need. Attach a clearly written price label to each item. This will make it easier for customers and save you time on the day. You can use small adhesive labels, bits of masking tape or a sticker gun. Enlist help from friends, family and neighbors. This will make your garage sale more manageable and less stressful. You will also have more fun this way! Have plenty of change. Go to the bank the day before your garage sale and get rolls of quarters, dimes and nickels and plenty of dollar bills. Add interest to your garage sale by selling crafts, baked goods and beverages. Items like cookies and lemonade will sell well while also encouraging people to stick around a bit longer. A flea market is a type of bazaar that rents space to people who want to sell or barter merchandise. You can sell all types of used goods at a flea market, though jewelry, household furniture and sports equipment are...

Paint a wire planter basket. Cut out and stack the parchment paper and wax paper. Iron the paper together. Repeat the paper ironing steps. Cut out circles of wax paper. Cut and attach ribbon to the planter basket. Glue the paper capiz shells onto the ribbons. Hang the chandelier over an existing ceiling light.

Use spray paint to color the basket frame.  Make sure to use spray paint that is approved for use with metal.     White, black, silver, gold, and bronze paints have the most traditional appeal, but you can use any color that matches with the décor of your room.    Cut a 36-in (91-cm) piece of parchment paper and three 18-in (46-cm) pieces of wax paper. Lay the parchment paper out on an ironing board and place the three pieces of wax paper inside. Fold the parchment paper over the wax paper to sandwich the pieces in.  The parchment paper helps the wax stick together and stay within the layers of paper. It also creates a smooth, finished surface on the wax paper.     If you do not have an ironing board, you can lay this out on a clean dish towel in the middle of a hard floor or table.    Use a low setting on your iron. Pass the iron over the paper sandwich several times to melt the layers of wax paper together. Remove the layered wax paper from the parchment. The wax paper should stick together, but it should not stick to the parchment paper.    Continue creating stacks of three-layered wax paper until you use an entire roll of wax paper.  For large planter frames, you may want to use half of a second roll, as well. You do not need to use new parchment paper for each layer. The parchment paper can be reused. Use a circle cutter to cut 2.5-in (6.35-cm) circles out of each layered sheet of wax paper. Cut as many circles as possible.  If you do not have a circle cutter, you could use a cookie cutter or other circular stencil that measures roughly 2.5 in (6.35 cm) in diameter. Trace around the stencil using a craft razor or blade.     Cut the circles out over a cutting mat. It may help to tape the wax paper to the mat as you work to prevent it from sliding around.    You will need to cut out anywhere from 90 to 120 strands of ribbon.  You can either attach the ribbon in single or double layers. The method you use will determine the needed length of each strand.     Single-layer ribbon should be about 7 in (18 cm)...

Gather your materials. Print off a pillow box template. Assemble the main part of the box.

Unlike the previous boxes discussed, you will need to do some cutting and gluing. Don't let this intimidate you; pillow boxes are actually the easiest type of paper box to make. It's best to use cardstock or another type of thicker paper for these boxes. In addition to paper, you'll need scissors, a ruler, and glue. You will also need a scoring tool if you use cardstock. Find a template you like online. You can pick a minimalist pattern or an elaborate one.  You can even print out a blank template that you can decorate yourself. If you choose to decorate the paper, do so before you start folding. Decorating an already-folded box is both difficult and runs the risk of collapsing it. You can also print a blank template directly onto decorative paper. Fold the box in half again, decorative sides facing out. Tuck the flap under the far edge of the box. Line up the flap so that its crease is now flush with the far edge. Place your box in a heavy book while the glue dries to seal the edges.

Decide when you want to attend a graduate program. Learn about your program(s) of choice. Determine if you're eligible for the GMAT. Register for the GMAT.

If you're planning on attending a graduate program in business, you may be feeling overwhelmed with the application process. However, it's important to remember that your test scores are only valid for a specific range of time. If you're not planning on attending your program in the near future, you may want to make sure that your scores would still be valid then, or hold off on taking the exam until a later date.  When you take the GMAT will depend, in part, on when your graduate school applications are due. The more time you give, the better, but you should take the GMAT a minimum of 21 days before the deadline. Remember that your GMAT scores are only valid for five years.  If you plan on attending a graduate program in the next year or two, it's best to begin planning and preparing now for the GMAT. If your plan is to attend graduate school in three or more years, you may want to wait another year before taking the GMAT to ensure your scores are valid. Every graduate program has different requirements and application deadlines. Some programs may accept late materials if the rest of your application is submitted on time, while other programs have a firm deadline and will consider any missing component an incomplete and ineligible application.  Find out what each program of interest will require from you, and what that program's deadline is. Some schools do not require the GMAT, though many do.  Many graduate programs have a minimum GMAT score that they'll accept, though that score will vary from one university to another. It's important to know what your school will require so that you can either cancel a poor score and/or retake the test as needed. Make sure your program is through an accredited college or university. You can search for business programs in your area by searching online, or use an online database of schools across the nation through the GMAT website. There are some basic requirements that anyone wishing to register for and schedule the GMAT must meet. In order to meet those requirements,...

The best way to get a fire going in

Read the manufacturer’s instructions. Choose the right fuel. Open all the controls. Put in some kindling. Light the fire. Add some small logs.

Many wood stoves come with specific directions from the manufacturer. You should read these before starting a fire in your wood stove to ensure that you're doing it properly and safely. If you don’t have the manual for your stove, check the manufacturer’s website for a copy. The best wood to use is seasoned wood that’s been drying for at least six months. Fresh wood contains too much water, and burning it will waste wood and money. Moreover, wet wood creates lots of smoke, and lots of creosote buildup.  Creosote is a combination of chemicals made up of unburned fuel. This material can build up in your chimney and can lead to chimney fires. In terms of type of wood, you can choose between hardwood and softwood. Hardwoods that come from deciduous trees are denser and produce a hotter and longer burn, so they're ideal for cold winters. Softwoods are less dense, so they produce a cooler fire that’s great for cool spring or fall nights.  Fireplace wood can be found at many convenience stores, gas stations, hardware stores, grocery stores, garden centers, wood suppliers, and online. Oxygen is one of the things that a fire needs to burn, and many wood stoves have one or more levers you can use to control valves that allow air into the firebox. When you're starting a fire, you want all the valves fully open.  The primary source of air in many wood stoves is an air intake under the grate that provides oxygen to the fire bed. Many wood stoves will have a lever under or beside the door that controls this valve. Stoves may also have a secondary air valve above the firebox to provide oxygen to the flames, as well as a damper that opens and closes the flue. The best way to get a fire going in a wood stove is to start with small pieces of wood that can increase the temperature inside the firebox and get the flames burning. To set up the kindling:  Crumple up five or six pieces of newspaper. Make sure the paper is dry. Place the newspaper balls into the center of the firebox. Lay up to 15 pieces of kindling on top of the...

If you want to make a girl like you,

Compliment her sincerely. Mirror her behavior to send her subtle signals. Look for considerate ways to help her with things. Tease her playfully. Brush against her hand or arm to flirt more obviously. Give her small gifts as you get closer. Ask her out when you're ready. Respect her answer and give her space if she says no.

Think about what you really like about this girl, then let her know about it! You can compliment something about her appearance that you think is especially nice, for instance. However, to make the compliment even more meaningful, try to compliment something about her character.  For instance, you might say something like, "I think it's amazing that you're always encouraging other people, even if you're having a bad day yourself." If you notice she got a haircut or is wearing something new, let her know you noticed! Just simply saying, "Hey your hair looks great!" will show her that you think she looks nice, but you'll also be complimenting her taste, since she chose the new 'do. Avoid complimenting anything about her figure, since that could make her feel really uncomfortable. People unconsciously mimic each other's behaviors when they're attracted to each other. However, you can do this on purpose, which may give her signals that you're interested, without being too obvious.  For instance, if you're sitting at a table together and she props her chin on her hand, you might rest your cheek on your fist. If she tucks her hair behind her ears, you might brush your hair off of your forehead. Don't do this very often—once or twice is fine. You don't want it to be obvious! Kindness can make you seem more attractive, so if you see a way you can help out the girl you like, go for it. That can show her that you genuinely care about her, which might make her feel more warmly toward you.  For instance, if you're really good at science and she's worried about her biology test, you might offer to help her study. If you see her struggling because her hands are full, offer to carry her books for her. Be careful not to assume that she can't handle things on her own! A little light-hearted teasing can be a good way to make a girl laugh, as long as you don't go overboard. Never tease someone about anything they might be insecure about—instead, try teasing her about something she's good at!  For instance, when you see her, you...

Scrub with baking soda. Use vinegar. Scrub the mug with salt. Use a denture tablet.

Make a thick paste of baking soda and a little bit of water. Apply this to the stains and then scrub with a scrub brush or sponge.  Rinse the paste off the mug and repeat if necessary. A new coat of paste should get deeper into the stains. Baking soda creates the perfect amount of light abrasion to remove mild stains. This is a more eco-friendly method that doesn't require the use of bleach or dish chemicals. Heat 1 cup of vinegar over medium heat until hot. Soak the mug in the hot vinegar for 4 hours or overnight. Wet inside of mug with a little bit of water. Add about a tablespoon of salt and scrub the mug until it is clean. The salt simply acts as a mild abrasive, getting into the stains and removing them.  You can also use a lemon peel to scrub the salt into the mug. While the salt is an abrasive, the lemon is a bleaching agent, helping to eliminate the stains. Drop a denture tablet in the mug filled with hot water. The tablet should fizz and dissolve, all the while cleaning the stains out of the mug.  Rinse the mug clean once the fizzing stops.

Assume the best of others. Consider the setting. Consider the source.

Try to remember that most jokes are good-natured attempts at being funny. Sometimes, we take the cheapest route to funny, and that sometimes takes the form of taking a shot at someone.  If the shot's aimed at you, try to remember that person is just trying to be funny - it's probably about him or her more than about you.  The joke may have been good natured, but worded poorly. Or perhaps the joker misjudged how sensitive you are about a particular topic. Sometimes people joke about sensitive topics, intending to show support for those who need it most or lighten the mood. Pick up on the atmosphere. If the joke was meant to be lighthearted (without intent to hurt you or anyone else), then you can be lighthearted right back. You may tease the joker back to keep the dialogue going, or smile and brush it off.  Keep your teasing lighthearted when creating banter with the joker. Keep in mind he or she is trying to have fun and be silly with you. If there's a cruel or threatening undercurrent, then you may want to address appropriate joking with the joker. Some people are simply goofy, or are well-meaning but not good at wording things. In these cases it may be better to let it slide. A friend may have a particularly acerbic wit. Recognize that is just part of his humor and he means no harm. We all have less than desirable traits. An overly sarcastic friend isn't likely to make major personality changes, so there is no benefit to getting upset and potentially harming relationships.

Look for your cat to be back to normal in 48 hours. Check the site of the incision. Stop your cat from running and jumping. Do not allow your cat to lick her incision excessively. Wait at least 10 days before giving your cat a bath.

For most cats, the surgery doesn’t cause any long-term negative symptoms.  In fact, most cats will be back to “normal” within 48 hours of surgery.  If your cat isn’t back to “normal” within 2-3 days, contact your veterinarian. Part of your daily routine, after your cat’s been spayed, is to check her incision to make sure it’s healing properly.  You’ll want to make sure the incision itself is binding and healing, and that it doesn’t look red or inflamed (and therefore infected) or has any discharge.  If the incision isn’t healing, or looks infected, contact your veterinarian.  Look at your cat’s incision the day you take her home, this is what a normal, healing incision should look like.  You can use this as a basis for watching her incision for the next few weeks.  If it never changes, gets red in colour, becomes inflamed, or something starts to leak out, you’ll need to contact your veterinarian.  The incision should heal substantially within 7 to 10 days.  After this time the incision should be able to hold up against stretching and pulling.  Note — incisions heal from side-to-side, not end-to-end, therefore a longer incision doesn’t take longer to heal than a short incision. Your vet may recommend that you keep your cat from running and jumping up to 2 weeks after she’s been spayed.  An adult cat may not feel like doing this right after surgery anyway, so it may be easy to restrain her.  A kitten, however, may be difficult to restrain, but will also likely bounce back from surgery faster.  If you do need to keep your cat from running and jumping, she’ll need to be placed somewhere in your home where there aren’t a lot of places to jump up on, and not a lot of room for running.  A bathroom or bedroom might work well. If your cat has a tall scratching post, window seat, or cat condo, you may need to put them away until your cat is fully healed. You cat may be tempted to clean and lick the site of her incision, especially if it becomes itchy.  An occasional cleaning shouldn’t be a problem, as long as she...
