This is also a good idea because any buildup of oils or other slippery liquids may cause your hand or tools to slip while removing the old caulking. Water-based, latex, and PVA caulks will most likely feel brittle and hard. These are more prone to chipping during removal. Silicone caulks should feel much more pliable, like soft rubber. These are usually the easiest to remove. Avoid making actual contact with either surface....

This is when I realized my aversion wasn’t to working with women but rather with insecure people. Insecurity breeds fear, and once fear has you in its grips, you stagnate.

Don’t worry if you can’t catch him alone, though — just quietly ask if he has a minute to chat privately. Don’t rush. You don’t want to be nervous or hurried. Asking him as you’re trying to speed walk or run to class, or he’s on his way to an doctor or dentist appointment, is a recipe for disaster....
