Q: Find a time when your parents aren’t busy or stressed out to discuss the possibility of getting your own phone. Arguing with them right before your extended family comes over for the holidays isn’t a good time, while calmly discussing the issue on a Saturday afternoon at the park is a much better plan. You could say, “Hey Mom, do you have a few minutes?” If she’s available, say, “I want to talk about getting my own cell phone.” Having your own cell phone allows you to communicate with your parents at any given time. Tell them that if you need a ride home from swim team practice or will be home late from a dance recital, you can simply call them and let them know. Remind them that you’ll have a phone in case of emergencies, too. Cell phones that access the Internet allow you to use your phone for research and studying. You can also look at maps or practice sample test questions. If you don’t have your own computer, this perk might be especially helpful in convincing your parents you’re ready for your own phone. Set aside money from babysitting jobs or mowing lawns to pay for the phone or bill. Or, offer to do extra chores or help your parents out in exchange for a cell phone. Showing your parents you’re willing to help pay the bill can convince them you are ready for your own phone. Your parents may say no, and you should accept their answer without whining or complaining. Throwing a fit will show them that you aren’t yet mature enough to have your own cell phone. Even though you may be disappointed, you should still show your parents respect. For example, if they say no, reply with “Ok. Thanks for considering it.” If your parents say no, politely ask when they would reconsider. It may be that they’re open to you having your own phone once you get your grades up or once you reach a certain age. Avoid talking about the subject until you’ve done what they asked or reached the age they decided on. Then, bring up the issue again to see if they have changed their mind. If you parents agree to getting you a phone, you’ll need to follow the rules they set. Discuss boundaries, like how many minutes or how much data you’re allowed per month, when you can use your phone, what apps or features are appropriate, and how to maintain your privacy and safety.  For example, your parents may decide you can’t use your phone during class or after 10pm. You might need to agree to stay of certain websites or social media applications, for instance.
A: Present your argument calmly when the time is right. Explain the practicality of owning a phone. Point out the educational benefits. Offer to help with the expenses. Accept their answer. Ask when they may be willing to reconsider. Work together to set boundaries.

Article: Wine is best when sipped and savored, as opposed to being gulped down. Take a small-to-medium sized sips of wine, and hold the wine in the center of your tongue before swallowing. This will allow you to taste the complex flavors of the wine.  Red wine is typically rich in flavor and is much better when sipped and savored. It can be served with dinner or dessert, or be sipped on its own. Drink your wine slowly so that you can truly appreciate its flavor. Swirl your wine before taking every sip, this will allow your wine to oxidize even more. White wine can be sipped on its own, but also goes well with a variety of meals and desserts. White wines tend to be more refreshing than reds, so they balance out rich flavors nicely. Take one small sip of wine at a time, and let the flavor of the wine settle on your tastebuds before swallowing. There are a few factors to consider when pairing your wine with food – it's easiest to think of pairing as a balancing act. For example, sparkling wines go perfectly with salty, fried foods. The carbonation and acids emulate beer and clean the salt from your palate with each sip.  Choose silky white wines with foods like fatty fish or cream sauces. Chardonnays, for example, are delicious with fish like salmon or any kind of seafood in a lush sauce. Pair a dry Rosé with rich, cheesy dishes. Some cheeses usually go better with white wine, and some are best with red. However, almost all cheeses pair well with dry rosé, which has the acidity of white wine and the fruitiness of a red. Red wines such as Cabernet and Bordeaux are terrific with red meats like steaks and chops. They refresh the palate after each bit of meat.  With desserts, make sure that the wine tastes as sweet, or sweeter, than the dessert. For example, pair a bitter, dark chocolate and a red wine with some sweetness, such as a late harvest Zinfandel.  Check out Pair Food and Wine for details on the best foods for different kinds of wine. When drinking and tasting wine, it is common to try a variety of reds or whites. You should move from lighter, sweeter wines to fuller, drier wines. If you want to try both reds and whites, start with white wines and work your way to the reds. If you're drinking wine with a meal, drink a chardonnay with your dinner, and move to a red wine for your after dinner drink. You could also choose a sweet red wine to have with dessert.

Q: Are they confident in their habits? Do they display distinct qualities that most people do not possess? Do you know the person rather well? If so, this person may be a good candidate for analysis. On the other hand, does the person tend to act like everyone else? Is the person shy? Is the person quiet? Think about people you know very well and compare this person to them. Consider many personality traits, physical traits, and how they respond to stress. Compare this information to people that you know intimately to help you guess their sign. It is especially important to observe their behavior while they are in conflicts or while working in groups. We all learn to hide our inner feelings to some degree while in public. People usually display their astrological traits in relationships and tense interactions.  For example, Aries' first reaction when faced with conflict is to yell or threaten, Gemini will talk his/her way out of it, Cancer usually responds with an emotional outburst, Taurus responds to conflict with silence and a posture of strength, etc. Cardinal (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn): These people usually responds to conflict with a bold, decisive, instinctive action in an attempt to trump the assault. They are easily motivated to start tasks. Fixed (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius): These people tend to hold in their reaction and respond that the attempt to hurt them was futile, with passive aggressive behavior or with silence. They concentrate on finishing things well. Mutable (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces): These people tend to be artful with conflicts, and are known to try to avoid arguments. They are good at motivating people. Aries is considered the youngest, while Pisces is the oldest. The younger signs tend to display quick tempers and be more selfish and eager to learn while the older signs are wiser, more compassionate and more set in their ways. This is where people get the term old soul. Base your prediction from your study of astrology. The average guesser should have a 1/12 guess rate, but any study of astrology, however small, will improve on the 1/12 rate. Keep studying astrology from experts and from your own observations and your "guessing" will be 1/11 - 1/10. This will help you verify your guesses and improve your skills.
