You can say something like, “Nice shirt, Jim!” if you see him in the hallway. Keep these comments to once or twice daily. You might say, “Hey, did our supervisor want us to use Excel for those documents? I’m not really familiar with that. Can you show me what he means?” You might also say, “Nolan, I can’t reach this book from the shelf. Can you help?” For instance, perhaps you found a hilarious video online....

Depending on the type of piano (upright, baby grand, grand), acoustic pianos are generally more expensive than electronic keyboards, but they can be rented to own at some piano stores. Tune the piano so that you can train your ear to hear the notes correctly. Older pianos are usually out of tune, especially if they are not played regularly. If your piano hasn’t been played for ages or has recently been moved, you may want to have it tuned professionally before going any further....

When you’re alone together, he may touch you more than he does in public, or he may bring up deep conversations. These conversations may be about past relationships or insecurities about his future. This can be read as a sign that he trusts you. Such trust may be an indicator of a deeper relationship. If he acts the same way alone with you as he does in public, it still means you’re good friends, but it may signal that he is uninterested in a romantic relationship....

Alternate between thumbs, quickly tapping a letter with one thumb, then tapping send with your other thumb, almost like playing a video game. Send as many messages as you can for as long as you can. The longer you text bomb, the more annoyed the person will be. [3] X Research source Try sending the lyrics to an entire song, word by word. Send the same word over and over again....

Don’t manipulate a pastry sheet that’s not fully thawed as this could lead to the sheet tearing. If the pastry sheet doesn’t fold easily after coming out of the microwave, place it back in on “high” for another 5 seconds on each side. Keep microwaving for 5 seconds on each side until the pastry sheet folds easily. If the pastry sheet can be folded easily but feels warm to the touch, you should place the pastry sheets in the fridge to cool them instead of thawing them....

Check the consistency of the stew and add more paste if necessary. Remember to cook the soup for 2 more minutes after adding the paste. Arrowroot can be substituted for cornflour or cornstarch. It has a more neutral flavor than cornstarch and can be used at varying temperatures without losing its ability to thicken foods. If your stew is still too watery, add more breadcrumbs or pieces of bread. However, too much can alter the flavor....

You can buy the shears from beauty supply stores or the hair care section of most department stores. Don’t add any styling products to your hair before thinning it. These can clog the shears and change how full your hair looks, which will affect your ability to thin it properly. If your hair is shorter, you might have fewer sections because it’s difficult to thin hair that is close to the scalp....

You will have to go through several damp paper towels if the spill is large. Make sure the area is dry after you rinse it off. You can dry it off by patting it with a cloth or paper towel. For really stubborn paint, try spraying a little latex paint remover on the spot. Let it sit on the paint for a few minutes before scrubbing it off with a wet cloth....

Make sure you spend some extra time smoothing with the moleskin. The moleskin needs the heat from your skin to really adhere to the fabric. At the fabric store, you can find packages of two-sided fabric adhesive sheets. Some of these are iron-on, but for this project, using one that doesn’t require ironing is better, as it’s not a good idea to iron some bras. Once you’ve got it backed, trim up the edges....

Find repair pencils and markers online or at your local home improvement store. These repair pencils and markers are often useful on wood and vinyl, too. If you can’t find one specifically labeled for use on laminate, check for ones that work on wood. If you’re in a hurry to get to the repairs, dry the floor off with a clean microfiber cloth after washing it with water. The more filler you apply, the darker the material looks....

If your pen has any metal components, dry them thoroughly to prevent corrosion. You can also take the pen apart and soak just the cartridge if you don’t want to get the barrel of the pen wet. Don’t use an industrial heat gun! They get extremely hot and will probably melt your pen. Be careful not to burn yourself or melt the pen. Hold just the very tip of the nib in the flame, and don’t do it for longer than 2-3 seconds....

To scan and observe, you should spend a few seconds every couple of minutes looking around your area. Look at the water, and also look at the pool deck or beach. Keep your eyes out for people in distress, or in potentially risky situations. For example, if there is someone swimming far from shore in choppy waters, you’ll want to keep a close watch on them. Keep your eye out for the elderly and young swimmers....

Escrow accounts are most commonly used in real estate transactions. When the conditions for the sale are satisfied, the escrow agent will release the money to the seller. In this way, the escrow agent guarantees the transaction, making sure each side fulfills its obligations. If you are using an agent to buy or sell a home, then the agent should handle setting up the escrow account. Ask your bank if they provide an escrow service....

It’s easy to switch off these settings so that anyone with the link can quickly access the file and get to work. But sometimes that can mean oversharing or allowing people to edit that you’d prefer didn’t. In this article, you can read about different ways to share links to your Google Docs and how they work. 1.

-4x + 7 = 15 = -4x = 8 Adding +3 to the left side of the equation, -2x -3, will give you (-2x -3) + 3, or -2x on the left side. Adding +3 to the right side of the equation, 4x -15, will give you (4x - 15) +3, or 4x -12. Therefore, (-2x - 3) +3 = (4x - 15) +3 = -2x = 4x - 12 The new equation should read -2x = 4x -12...

You can also use old tires or telephone poles to build your stacks on, but pallets are the easiest and most common choice. [2] X Research source Consider covering your pallets with a tarp for an extra layer of protection. Lifting bales with your arms and back can cause strain and injury. If you’re working with a partner, don’t expect them to catch bales. You’ll probably knock them over instead! Toss it so that it’ll land near them, not on them....

You can temporarily secure each section with a rubber band. Keep a spray bottle near you to dampen hair again when it dries. If you have textured hair, use the comb to twist your hair, not your fingers. If you have naturally straight hair, start by backcombing your hair. Then begin to twist with your fingers. Don’t use a weak dread comb that will snap and break easily. Look for one that has bristles that are strong and close together....

Taking a break from a harder level you are getting frustrated with to play an easier level also gives your brain a break. The anger many people get from video games isn’t usually linked with the game content but instead the frustration. A lower level can also help you to find what made video games fun in the first place. While playing the lower level, focus on the music or graphics....

Another example of a medical problem causing coprophagia (poop eating) is an overgrowth of bacteria in the bowel, which leads to a vitamin deficiency in the bowel wall. In order to correct this deficiency the dog then craves poop. [2] X Research source Behaviour problems in Small Animals. Jon Bowen & Sarah Heath. Publisher: Elsevier. Typically, both these conditions are associated with soft or liquid feces, since the dog cannot digest food properly....
