Q: To change the filter, remove the metal grate which covers the filter. Then pull out the air filter, and set in a replacement unit. The air filter is located indoors, and will typically be close to the evaporator unit. It’s about two feet (0.6 meters) wide and 1 foot (0.3 meters) high. Over time, the air filter will become clogged and dirty with all of the dust and dirt particles that it has filtered out of the air. A dirty filter will obstruct airflow within the AC system, and will cause the system to function with much less efficiency. If your AC unit’s air filter can be washed and reused, you can simply clean it and place it back in the unit rather than disposing it and purchasing a new one. To clean your reusable filter, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Most reusable filters are cleaned by running them under lukewarm tap water, and a gentle application of dish soap. To quickly tell a disposable from a reusable air filter, inspect the material it’s made from. Disposable filters will be made of thick, papery material, while reusable filters are made of a rubbery frame and metal mesh. As the evaporator unit cools and de-humidifies air from outside, it produces runoff liquid. In most air conditioner units, this air runs down from the top of the evaporator in a thin, plastic pipe, and runs through a drain in the floor. To make sure that the drain hasn’t gotten clogged, you can run a stiff wire through the drain.  If the plastic pipe is flexible, poke the wire into the bottom of the pipe as well, to make sure that it’s not clogged. In some more modern units, the pipe which drains water runs directly into the floor, and does not have a drain. In this case, you do not need to clean the setup. Call a AC professional cleaner—or your landlord—if you notice water pooling around the base of the evaporator unit, or see water-damaged flooring nearby.
A: Change replaceable air filters twice a year. Clean reusable air filters twice a year. Clean the drain.

Q: The decision to come out is a personal one. If you suspect someone you know is gay or lesbian, don't just ask them about it out of nowhere. If this is something they want to talk about with you, they will bring it up themselves. If someone comes out to you, don’t say, “Ew, really?”, “Uhhh, ok,” or even, “Yeah, I know.” Coming out can be scary and may make the person feel vulnerable. If someone who is just starting to come out chooses to share this part of themself with you, it is a huge gift of trust. Thank them for confiding in you, and remind them that you care. You might also want to ask, “How long have you known?” or “Has it been hard for you to keep this secret?” if they seem willing to discuss the subject. Often gay people themselves can be confused about everything or are still finding themselves. Don't press any farther than the person lets on. Don’t press if they seem uncomfortable, and don’t ask any personal questions about their sex life or specific individuals they may or may not find attractive. While it is admirable that you want to learn more, identifying as gay or lesbian doesn’t mean that a person wants to hold straight people’s hands through the process of learning to understand LGBT people. Just because someone is gay doesn’t mean they are responsible for being your guide to LGBT+ issues. Some gay and lesbian people won’t mind being a resource for you, but you should not assume this to be the case. If you know a gay person and think they might be open to answering some of your questions, politely ask them. If they say no, back off respectfully. Life can be hard for LGBT+ people, as they may face discrimination, bullying (even from loved ones such as family members), self-hatred, and confusion. They may even be having suicidal ideation and/or have attempted suicide in the past. If they are having a hard time, offer them compassion and acceptance. They may really need it. This should hopefully be obvious, but you should never use gay or other anti-LGBT slurs. It is important for straight allies to the LGBT community to use respectful language when referring to gay and lesbian people. It’s true that there are a lot of different words for referring to people in the LGBT community. If you are unsure whether a particular word is incorrect or offensive, or aren’t sure what word is appropriate, be safe and don't use it. If someone refers to themselves as a certain term, do not assume you can. It is different for who is saying it and who it is about. . Empathy is the ability to feel with someone, rather than for them; it is the ability to project yourself into the experience of another person. If you are not sure how to respond or treat someone in a given situation, ask yourself, “How would I feel if I were in this person’s shoes?” Recognize that your heterosexuality gives you advantages in life that gay and lesbian people do not have, and that bigotry against LGBT people can inflict significant physiological and psychological damage. If you truly empathize with someone, you should not want to cause them any kind of pain.
A: Give them their privacy. React kindly if someone tells you they are gay. Understand not all LGBT people want to answer your questions. Support them if they are struggling. Use appropriate language. Be empathetic

Q: Sometimes, your cat will get something in its eye that will cause irritation. It could be a splinter, for instance. It could also be something like sand, glass, metal, or really any small object that attaches to the cat's eye.  You'll see watering, of course, as well as redness and swelling. The cat may try to scratch at its eye, and the eye might twitch a bit. It’s best to see a board certified veterinary ophthalmologist if there’s something wrong with your cat's eye. Cats are sometimes able to get scratches or ulcers in their eyes. They can accidentally catch their eyes with one of their own claws, or an eye could be scratched by another cat (either in play or in a fight). They can also catch their eye on other objects. Even not enough tears can cause a cat to get an ulcer in its eye, as the eyelid rubs against the eye without lubrication. The veterinarian will obviously need to remove any object in your cat's eye. A simple flush may do it, but they may also need to use tweezers. In some cases, the eye may need to be sewn up. The vet will also likely prescribe antibiotics, either in eye drop form or a pill. In some cases, the eyelid may need to be sewn closed for a period to heal. Sometimes, the eyelids or hairs around the eyes are what cause the eye to tear up. In those cases, it may be appropriate for the cat to undergo surgery performed by a board certified veterinary ophthalmologist in order to correct the issue, though it cannot always be corrected. Sometimes, a cat will just have watery eyes that cannot be changed. If your cat is this way, you should wash around the cat's eyes each day with a warm, wet cloth. Make sure to dry off the area, as well.
A: Check for signs of an object in the eye. Watch for signs of a scratch. Treat scratches and objects. Decide if surgery is an option. Care for chronic watery eyes.

Q: You probably already have what you need to cover up your eyebrows around the house. Get everything ready before you get started. Here's what you need:  A small bottle of spirit gum (sold at costume shops, and is made for use on the face) Petroleum jelly (e.g. Vaseline) Translucent concealer powder that matches the color of your skin Liquid concealer or foundation that matches the color of your skin Colour correcting concealer (optional) Apply the it in the direction of your hair growth, taking care to help each hair lie as flat as possible against your face. If you have thick eyebrows, you may want to wait another ten minutes and apply a third layer.
A:
Gather supplies. Let the spirit gum dry for ten minutes, then apply another layer.
