Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use slow traffic pull-outs. Watch your speed on the straight-aways. Do not drive in the fast lane. Avoid pacing the car beside you. Respond courteously to someone flashing their headlights at you. Signal your intentions well in advance.

Answer: Some roads that are winding or on steep hillsides will have traffic pull-out spots where slow drivers can get off the road and allow other drivers to pass them.  These pull-outs are usually in areas where there is not enough room for an actual passing lane.  Use the pull-out if you have a tailgater or if you’re not able to keep up with the flow of traffic. Even if you’re driving the speed limit, you may still be driving slower than other cars on the road.  Use the pull-out to be polite to other drivers and allow them to get around you and continue on to their destination unimpeded. Many drivers go slow because the road conditions call for it.  Maybe the road is icy or wet, or really curvy, so you’ve slowed down.  When the road straightens out, or becomes dry, don’t speed up if there is a car tailgating you.  Speeding up on the straightaways and not allowing the tailgater to pass will likely make them mad. The fast lane is for passing.  If you are not passing anyone, do not drive in the fast lane.  People who are driving faster than you can come up behind quite quickly, especially if you aren’t paying attention to your rearview mirror. If a car comes up on your suddenly while you’re in the fast lane, don’t immediately pull into the middle or curb lane without first checking that the other driver isn’t also going to do this.  Because they’ve encountered someone in their own lane, they may decide to pass you on the right. If you’re on a multi-lane road, regardless of which lane you’re in, you should avoid pacing the car in the other lane.  This is especially important if you’re in the fast lane, as you should be overtaking the other car, not travelling at the same speed as them.  However, if you’re in the slow lane and you have a tailgater, the fact that the car already in the fast lane is pacing you may be the reason your tailgater can’t get around you. In some situations a car that is tailgating you might flash their headlights.  Normally this means they’re trying to pass you, but for whatever reason, you’re making it difficult.  Pay attention to these flashes and move out of the way — don’t get upset. If you have a tailgater, make sure to signal your intentions to turn or slow down well in advance.  Because of the lack of space behind you, that driver may need some extra time to adjust their speed when you turn or slow down. While it would technically be the fault of the driver behind you, if you got into an accident, it’s still your car that’s been hit and damaged.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Realize the potential of a hilarious meme. Send her links to funny YouTube videos. Search for funny GIFs you can share or make your own. Take a silly picture of yourself and slap a funny Snapchat filter over it.

Answer: Memes aren’t always funny, but every now and then you probably run across one that’s comedy gold, right? When you do, save the image and send it to her via text. You won’t be able to hear her laugh, but you’ll probably get an all-caps “LOL” out of it! If you know she likes something in particular, look for memes on that specific topic.  If she’s a Game of Thrones fanatic, for example, your options are practically endless! If she loves animals or fashion, look for memes about those things. Avoid sending her a constant barrage of memes, though. Some people may find this annoying or just plain weird. Look for clips of stand-up comedians, for example, especially if they’re riffing on something you know she likes or finds funny! Or you can go with something simpler, like a collection of animal bloopers or a scene from her favorite comedy television show.  For example, if you know she loves the TV show Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, you can definitely find some amusing clips to send to make her smile. Try to avoid sending these to her constantly, but every once in a while a funny video will no doubt crack her up. GIFs are much shorter than videos and plentiful on the internet, so your supply is basically endless. Tumblr is a great place to look for funny GIFs, or just search for “GIFs + any topic she likes” and see what you turn up. If all else fails, download a meme generator app and create your own! This isn’t exactly a fresh tactic, but it can still be pretty hilarious! There are tons of filters to choose from, so go through and experiment with a couple. If you find yourself doubled over in laughter after creating one, it’s highly likely that she’ll also think it’s funny.  She may even reciprocate with one of her own to keep the joke going! You could also send her funny photos of yourself, like baby photos.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Keep a diary of when your budgie bites. Use negative reinforcement when biting occurs. Keep a regular sleeping and feeding schedule. Handle your budgie with care. Provide enough toys. Ease your budgie into transitions.

Answer:
The first step to addressing biting is to keep track of when biting occurs. Budgies may bite for a variety of reasons. How to address the behavior depends on its root cause.  Write down each time your budgie bites you. Jot down the circumstances surrounding the bite. Was the budgie being handled at the time? Was in or out of his cage? Was the bite in response to being fed or given a treat? The more details you record regarding the incident the better.  Look for common themes and patterns regarding when your budgie bites. If he tends to bite when he hears loud noises outside or when handled by unfamiliar people, he may be biting out of anxiety. If your budgie tends to bite around nighttime when he's been out of his cage for extended period, he may be biting because he's tired and wants to go back in his cage. Oftentimes, people unintentionally reinforce biting. Any attention, even in the form of scolding, can seem like a positive to a budgie who's seeking relief from boredom or frustration. When a budgie bites, instead of scolding your budgie simply ignore the behavior. Try not to react when a budgie bites. He will realize he's not getting the reaction he craves and cease the behavior. As budgies may bite due to dissatisfaction with their diet and sleep cycle, maintaining a schedule can help. Make sure your budgie gets variety in his diet and is fed regularly. Allow him to sleep at roughly the same times each day.  Seed and pellets, the kind that you buy at pet stores, should be the staple of a budgie's diet. However, budgies will get bored eating the same meal day after day. Add variety to your budgie's diet by adding sprouts, veggies, and grains to his regular bird food.  Keep track of what times your budgie seems to rest. Make a conscious effort to give him space during these times. A budgie might become frustrated and bite if he's being handled when he's tired. Respect the fact budgie's need lots of rest to feel healthy and happy. Anxiety is a major cause of biting in budgies. Oftentimes, anxiety is caused accidentally by owners improperly handling their budgies. Be careful when handling your budgie as not to cause him stress.  Allow a budgie to come to you. Do not grab a budgie but give him the option of perching on your hand or finger.  Do not follow your budgie from room to room. This can come off as chasing. In the wild, predators chase budgies in this manner. You do not want your budgie to mistake you as a threat, so allow him to fly from room to room on his own.  Talk to your budgie softly and offer him treats and toys. This will keep him calm and relaxed and allow him to establish a bond with you. If you have just purchased a budgie, give him space for a few weeks before attempting contact. In the wild, budgies are constantly occupied with some task or another. Mental stimulation through appropriate toys is vital to a budgie's well being. If a budgie gets bored, he may resort to biting to get attention and stimulation.  Shreddable toys, like old toilet paper rolls and scrap paper, are fun for budgies. As they forage in the wild to build nests, they'll enjoy tearing through paper in captivity.  Stop by a local pet store and look at what's available in terms of bird toys. Many budgies enjoy puzzle toys, which are contraptions where you can hide a treat. The budgie will have fun trying to dismantle the puzzle in order to get a reward. These are great if you're away from home for long periods during the day.  Play with your budgie. Budgies need one-on-one attention. Set aside time every day to spend with your budgie, especially if you only have one. Considering  getting another budgie if your schedule does not allow you to spend time with your budgie each day. Have there been any changes to your household? Have you recently moved to a new home? Did a new person or pet recently move in? Is there construction going on outside causing excessive noise? Any changes to routine can cause anxiety for a budgie, leading to biting. If there are any major changes, give your budgie some space while he's getting used to the transition. Do not handle him too much and make sure he always has adequate food and water. If loud noises from outside seem to be bothering your budgie, consider a noise machine.
