Q: Rinse the guava under cool water and blot the fruit dry with a paper towel. Then, use a knife or peeler to carefully remove all of the skin from each guava. You can dispose of the skin, or you can place it in a compost pile with other food scraps. Be careful when using the peeler on the guava. The small, rounded shape can cause the peeler to slip. On a cutting board, slice the guava in half through the widest part in the middle of the fruit. You can cut the halves again to make chunks, or leave them in halves to freeze. This will help the sugar in the simple syrup to permeate into the fruit and keep it tasting sweet after the freezing process. Once the guava is cut, get a freezer bag or airtight container with a lid. Make sure it's large enough to fit all of the fruit with about 0.5 to 1 inch (1.3 to 2.5 cm) of empty space at the top of the container, called headspace. The headspace will allow for quicker freezing time, which keeps the guava fresh for a longer period in the freezer. Simple syrup is a mixture of equal parts water and sugar that is heated to a boil to create a sweet syrup. Pour the cooled syrup into the container or bag until the guavas are completely submerged, but remember to leave enough headspace in the container. If you've just made the simple syrup, let it cool before pouring it over the fruit. Warm syrup can cook the guava, causing a change in taste. Make sure the lid of the container is closed tightly or the bag is completely sealed. Label the container or bag with the date and let it sit in the freezer undisturbed for at least 12 hours before thawing. If you're going to freeze the guavas for a long period of time, avoid placing them in the door of the freezer. The door experiences more temperature changes than the rest of the freezer, which can cause thawing. While guava can last in the freezer for long periods of time, the taste of the fruit will deteriorate after a year. When you're ready to use it, place the guava in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours to thaw before taking it out of the container. If you're not sure how to use your frozen guava, you can try making juice, baking guava-based pastries, or even whipping up a guava barbecue sauce!
A: Wash and peel the skin off of the guava. Cut the guava in half with a sharp knife. Place the halves in an airtight container or bag. Pour simple syrup over the guava to preserve the taste of the fruit. Seal the container and place it in the freezer. Use the guava within 1 year of freezing.

Q: If you can breathe easily and the smell of gas is not overpowering and you cannot hear a loud sound of escaping gas, check the stove for burners that are on but not burning. The knobs should all be in the same position (off). Turn all knobs to off. Look for an oven control knob. It should be in the off position. Turn the control knob to off. On a modern oven the control may be electronic. Pressing the off or cancel button will turn off the gas. Some clothes dryers are gas operated. If this is the case, turn the dryer control knob to off or press the off button. If it is not clear that the dryer is operated by gas, do not operate the controls. This can be a common cause of a gas odor.
A: Check the stove burners. Check the oven. Check the clothes dryer. Check to see whether the pilot light on your boiler has gone out.

Q: Here's the deal: the way you move your body says a lot about how secure or insecure you are. Simply being aware of this can make your movements more appealing to a girl.  Walk slower than you normally would, and keep your movements controlled. Such actions indicate that you're comfortable with the world and yourself. Take up some space. Lean back and stretch out your legs. Think of it as marking your territory. Be aware of your tonality. Though it's technically speaking, it's a huge part of body language. Slow down your talking speed, and maintain steady volume. Slow down: we don't mean that you should be inappropriate. But not being afraid to express emotions physically can signal warmth and comfort. After all, attraction is an emotional response.  Pat a pal on the back. Hug or shake a friend's hand to greet them. Don't be afraid to stand a little closer to other people than you normally would. Nothing suggests insecurity more than slouchy shoulders and an inclined head. Think about doing the following actions to adjust your posture:  While sitting, pull your chest forward, and roll your shoulders back. Keep your head high. Walk with your back straight, and your head up. Take measured steps, and roll your shoulders back. Don't be afraid to look around the room. You might catch her eye, in which case holding her glance for a second longer can establish a connection.  Keep your gaze on the horizon while walking. Doing so makes you appear more approachable and sociable. Don't be afraid to be expressive through your eyes. Widening them in surprise, or narrowing them when you're skeptical, shows that you're engaged and paying attention. Smile genuinely. If you're feeling extra confident, you could try a cocky smile.
A: Be aware of how you move around. Don't be afraid to be touchy. Be mindful of your body's posture. Make eye contact.

Q: Focus on the things that interest you, and you'll be able to find people who share those interests. Common interests are a good basis for friendship. When talking to someone new, be careful about diving into controversial topics. There is nothing wrong with being interested in topics like politics or religion, but plunging right into them right away can put people off. This is unless, of course, you have joined a group of people with a common perspective on these issues. To make friends, you are going to need to put in a little effort. Call or text the other person, arrange to hang out somewhere outside of where you met. It's okay to be a little pushy. What seems like too much to you as an introvert might be just what the other person is looking for.  Making plans for later is a good way to stay in touch, especially if they are concrete. Even if it doesn't quite work out, it lets other people know you are open to meeting again, and may spur them on to other action.  Be specific when making plans. For example, rather than saying "We should hang out sometime," say "Would you like to see the new Spielberg movie next Saturday afternoon?" This makes it more likely that you'll follow through on your plans. If someone reaches out to you to communicate, return the call. You can wait a little bit before you get back to them, but not returning the call or message is good way to push out those who want to be friends. Refusing to communicate, through phone calls or other means, is not introversion. It could be shyness, or perhaps even depression, but those are not the same thing as introversion. Communicating doesn't have to mean phone calls. Introverts may not always enjoy speaking on the phone because context clues like body language are often missing, and there isn't as much control over the conversation. Text messaging, video chats, and even old-fashioned letter writing are all good ways to keep in touch. Just make sure you and the other person are in agreement about the best ways to communicate. Friendship is a process and takes some time. Allow for some early awkwardness, remembering that it will get easier if you push through it. Even if you aren't sure you're into it right away, fake it until you get past it.
A:
Be yourself. Make contact. Return messages. Use different forms of communication. Be patient.
