Especially if the man who is asking you out is an acquaintance or a friend, you don't want to interrupt him while he's speaking to you.  Even if you know that he's going to ask you out, and you want to say no, you don't want to cut him off. Cutting him off while he's talking makes you appear overly eager to reject him and rude. Keep a respectful distance from him, and smile slightly. Don't move closer to him, or give him any body language indication that you might be interested. The worst thing you can do when you're politely rejecting someone is to string him along. It might hard for him to hear “no” at first, but it will be much nicer in the long run.   Don't make excuses. You don't need to lie. Unless it's true, don't tell him that you're in a relationship. Don't give him a line like, “I just got out of a relationship, and I'm not ready to date.” Even if this is true, it might give him false hope that you'll change your mind, and that's not fair to him. Be straight forward, and polite. Say something like, “You seem like a nice guy, but I just don't like you that way. I appreciate that you thought to ask me.” This makes your stance clear but still seems slightly softer than a blatant no. Keep it short. You don't need to give a long-winded rejection just to seem nice. If you genuinely would like to be friends with a guy who asks you out, let him know. This will soften your rejection, and let him know that you value him company, even if you're not interested in him romantically.  If you don't actually want to be friends with him, don't say you want to be friends. Simply tell him you're not interested and that you hope he has a nice day, and walk away. If you do tell him you want to be friends, make sure he knows that your feelings about the situation aren't going to change. You don't want to give him any false hope. Say something like, “Sorry, I'm not interested in you in a romantic way, but I know someone else will be. I like talking with you, and I'd love to be friends.” When you have to say no to someone in person, it does matter how you say it. This will affect how the man takes your answer.  Don't come across as defensive. You have every right to choose who you date. Being defensive can make you sound more aggressive or disgusted than you mean to sound. Speak with the tone of an apology. You want to sound open and apologetic, even while still being firm in your answer. Try to make eye contact with him at least once when you are speaking.

One-sentence summary -- Listen to what he has to say. Just say no. Tell him if you want to be friends. Keep your tone polite.

Q: Poodles have a curly wiry coat that grows continually. Poodles do not shed hair in the same way as other breeds. Their hair does fall out, but it gets tangled with the rest of the coat. This means poodles are very liable to getting knots and tangles. Puppies have a soft coat, which starts to be replaced by adult fur from about 6-9 months of age. A full changeover to the adult coat can take until the pet is 18 months old. Take a few minutes every day to groom your dog. This will serve a dual purpose: you will be able to detangle his hair and you will be giving him some much-needed attention. To comb through the snags, use a comb or brush that is available at a pet store. You may also want to use both, using a comb on certain parts of the dog's body and a brush on other parts. Before you start combing, spray your toy poodle’s coat with a light mist of water. This will help avoid static build-up. It can also help prevent dry hair from snagging together. Separate off a section of coat and hold it between your fingers. Comb the coat by brushing from root to tip. Groom the entire coat and be sure to comb behind the ears and under the tummy. A toy poodle’s hair grows all the time, so keeping it tidy requires clipping. Depending on how long or short you’d like to keep your dog’s coat, aim to get the hair clipped every 3-8 weeks. This is usually done at a dog grooming parlor, but with access to good dog clippers, some practice, and plenty of time, you can learn to clip a dog yourself.
A: Keep your dog’s coat free from snags. Groom your dog every day. Use a comb or a stiff brush. Spritz the dog’s coat with water. Comb section by section. Clip your dog’s hair every 3-8 weeks.

Article: Remove all of the birds and feed from the poultry house, and either sweep or blow dust from all fixtures onto the floor. Remove all of this litter with a wet-dry vacuum, and then soak all surfaces with a low pressure sprayer. Then wash every part of the building with a natural detergent and warm water.  Rinse away all of the detergent, and then air-dry the building. While you are cleaning, put the birds either outside in an enclosure or in cages. Disinfectants can be purchased from farm supply stores, and these are usually made from phenolic or chlorine compounds. Disinfectants are applied using aerosols, fumigation, or a garden sprayer. Always follow the safety and manufacturer’s instructions for the correct dilution and application of disinfectants. Load the birds into cages or crates that are fit for transportation. The size guidelines for travel crates and cages for chickens are 8 inches (20 cm) wide, by 12 inches (30 cm) deep, and 10 inches (25 cm) tall per bird.  Only transport healthy birds, as those that are sick or stressed are not suitable for travel. Crates need to be well-ventilated, upright, and have enough room for the birds to stand. Poultry cannot survive for longer than 8 hours without food or water. Check on the birds regularly throughout the journey to monitor them. Advertise your products, create a website, or sell your products at a local farmers market. Aim to make a connection with people, and look for gaps in the market. For example, perhaps free-range, organic eggs are difficult to come by in your area, which provides a good opportunity for you.  Generally the better your marketing, the more likely your poultry farm is to be successful. Advertising can be done through signs, billboards, flyers, vehicle signage, notices up in your community, or adverts in a local paper. You will need to keep production/technical records, as well as financial records. Some registers that must be included are wages for employees, building maintenance, equipment, feed, medicines, batches, and chick turn out and disposal.  Where applicable, all quantities, rates, units, invoices, and receipts need to be recorded. An accountant will be able to help you with your financial records.
