article: If you plan to use a filter, either insert it now or leave a tobacco-less space to slip it in later. Make the space exactly as long as the filter. You have several filter options:  Buy a bag of fresh cellulose cigarette filters. You can find these online, at smoke shops, and at certain marijuana dispensaries. These are essentially the same filters that you'd find on a store-bought cigarette.  Remove the filter from a store-bought cigarette. If you have store-bought filter cigarettes around, and you don't want to smoke them—or if you just want to practice rolling—you can carefully tear the paper and remove the filter. Lay this filter into your rolled cigarette. Make your own rough filter. First, tear a thin strip of sturdy paper from an index card or business card. Fold it three times to make a pleat, and roll the rest of the unfolded filter around the folded. It should look like a "W" encircled. Make sure that that the folded filter will fit smoothly into the cigarette; you may need to adjust it several times. Keep in mind that this homemade filter will only block the largest particulate matter from entering your lungs. When the cigarette is full of tobacco, it is ready to roll. Keep holding the paper in the same hand, but grasp the other end in the same way—between your middle finger and thumb. Lift your stabilizing index finger from the paper; you no longer need its support. The paper should rest between the thumb and middle finger of both hands. The tobacco should be evenly spread, except at the very tip where your index finger was. Your fingers should form a fairly straight line from one end of the cigarette to the other. Use your thumbs to hold the unrolled cigarette slightly below the underside of your middle fingers. The contour of the fingers should suggest the shape of the cigarette.

Use a shoe horn when you put on your dress shoes. Put your dress shoes on a shoe tree as soon as you take them off. Don’t wear the same pair of dress shoes 2 days in a row. Add toe taps if your dress shoes have a pointed toe. Stuff the inside of your shoes with rolled-up socks before you pack them. Condition the leather every 3-6 months."
article: If there is a gap between your foot and the shoe, the leather will bend more. This is the reason that most shoes crease. This is especially common around the toe box, so look for a pair of dress shoes that fit your foot closely without being too snug. Water repellent will help protect your shoes from moisture in the environment or unexpected water on the ground, which can make your shoes more susceptible to creasing.  You can buy water repellent wherever you purchase fine shoes. Water repellent will not make your shoes waterproof, so if you can, you should always avoid situations where your dress shoes will get wet. You may want to reapply the water repellent about once a year. Most leather shoes need about 24 hours of wear before they are fully broken in. You should always avoid getting your dress shoes wet, but getting your shoes wet while you are breaking them in will make them more likely to form creases at the place where your toes bend. Even after your shoes are broken in, avoid getting them wet as it may discolor the leather. A shoe horn is a long, flat object that helps you slip the heel of your shoe over your foot. Using a shoe horn will help keep the back of your shoe from breaking down and creasing. You can buy a shoe horn at almost any shoe store. Shoe trees are inserted into your shoe to absorb moisture and help them hold their shape. Keeping your shoes on the shoe tree when you’re not wearing them is the most important thing you can do to keep your shoes from creasing.  You can find shoe trees at most find shoe stores. If you don’t have a shoe tree, stuff your shoes with balled-up tissue paper or newspaper to help them hold their shape. Give your shoes a whole day to dry out after you wear them. When you wear them on consecutive days, moisture from your feet can settle into the leather, causing creases to form. Toe taps are small discs which are attached to the very end of the sole on a pointed-toe shoe. They help prevent wear on the tip of the sole, which is where these shoes tend to wear out first. Damage to the sole can cause the upper part of the shoe to become deformed and creased. Toe taps are usually nailed to the sole of the shoe.  To ensure your toe taps are affixed correctly, have them put on by a professional cobbler. If you’re going to be traveling, stuffing your dress shoes with socks will help them hold their shape while they’re in your suitcase. Leather conditioner is used to keep the upper portion of your shoe soft and supple, allowing to bend without leaving a permanent crease. The conditioner is similar to a lotion which you gently rub into the leather. Although every 3-6 months is adequate for most people, if you live in an area with a very dry climate, you may want to condition your shoes more often.

It is perfectly OK to have a "gut feeling" that the marriage would not be successful and simply go on that. However, it is even better to be clear to yourself what your concerns are. If you're simply nervous about making such a big commitment (which is not uncommon) try reading the advice in How to overcome the fear of marriage. If you're concerned that you and your mate are not compatible in some way, it's important to address your worries as soon as possible, long before your partner gets down on their knee. Think about these aspects of the relationship in advance so you're prepared to have a serious conversation:  Does the relationship feel serious and permanent to you, or more lighthearted or temporary? If the other person takes it much more seriously than you do, it could be difficult to find a path together. Is this a time in life where marriage would derail the path that you've set in mind for yourself? Could you see yourself marrying your partner at a later date? Do you have strong opinions about marriage in general? Would you rather live together unmarried, or live separately even in a committed, loving relationship? Do you have concerns about your partner's approach to having children, running a household, financial habits, career goals, or other "big picture" items that would make marriage or cohabitation difficult? Do you have other concerns about your partner or your relationship that are relevant whether or not your get married? These should be discussed as soon as possible, even if marriage is off the table. In an ideal world, the topic of marriage would come up without mind games. However, since this is an emotional issue many people will test the waters before they propose. This may come in jokes, veiled comments, or other subtle "hints". If your significant other raises the issue of marriage, even casually, make your position clear but polite. Or call him or her out to clarify.   For example, if your partner comments while house-hunting: "This house would be perfect for a married couple," hint back with another option: "Or for an unmarried couple too." Or, be more direct: "Honey, you keep making comments about married couples and such. Are you trying to tell me something? I'd rather you be direct with me instead of making confusing comments." Asking a person to have his or her hand in marriage comes with a lot of emotional weight. This may happen in public, such as a restaurant, an athletic stadium, your family's Christmas dinner, or some cleverly elaborate choreographed manner. And to have to turn a person down after all that dramatic build up can be humiliating for the person proposing. If the hints start coming thick and strong, or you discover a ring hidden somewhere, try have a discussion before the proposal happens.   Remember that the purpose of this discussion is information. You should each find out what the other person thinks, not try to persuade them into changing their mind.  If your partner cannot set the topic aside, or you cannot agree on a short-term path forward, visit a relationship counselor for advice. Or you may have to part ways. Sometimes it can feel like parents, friends, or even complete strangers are eager to whip out a marriage license and hand you a bouquet of flowers. In the end, your decision is not their business, and you do not owe them anything more than basic politeness when deflecting these questions or suggestions:  A polite "We don't have any plans right now" is a good first step, or "I'll let you know whenever something changes". Humor can help relieve tension among family members and close friends who are constantly pressuring you: "I hear they're inventing a new color wedding dress, I'm going to wait a few years for it to hit the market." Try acting stiff if strangers or acquaintances do not take the hint: "Our relationship is fine, thanks for your concern." If you and your partner have both gotten through the conversation (perhaps with help from a counselor), you've bought yourself some time. This is often exactly what you need, but use this time wisely. If it's just a question of reevaluating after finishing your education, you may be content just to see what happens. If you have doubts about the relationship itself, think carefully about whether to stay together, continue to discuss issues with your partner, and seek advice from a relationship counselor if necessary, or from non-judgmental friends who are in healthy relationships and who won't spread gossip. If there are life events that would seriously pressure you to get married, spend time planning for this in advance. Some events you can do your best to avoid, such as pregnancy, while others you cannot control, such as a terminal illness in the family. Seeking advice and support is especially important in these situations, when you feel pressured to make a decision under stress.  Do not make decisions because of another family member. Yes, Grandma would love to see you get married before she dies. But she does not have to live with the consequences of marrying the wrong person, at the wrong time, for the wrong reasons. And imagine how bad she would feel, knowing the reason for your (likely) divorce, was because she pressured you into the marriage. An out-of-wedlock and/or accidental pregnancy can be problematic. But getting married for the sake of the baby often ends poorly, too.
