Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Watch the movie at home, not in a theater. Watch the movie during the day, if possible. Keep a few pillows or squeezable objects on hand. Invite some friends over to watch the movie. Get some snacks to eat during the movie.

Answer: Although the theater atmosphere can be fun, you'll have more control over the movie at home. Pick a movie that's already been released or one that you have recorded so you can pause, fast forward, or skip scenes as needed.  If you have to watch the movie in a theater, choose a seat near the exit so you can sneak out if you feel overwhelmed. Watching the movie in a theater, however, can be fun if you want to immerse yourself in the horror movie experience if you don't typically get scared. Horror movies are scariest at night, when any shadow or unexplained noise might make you jump. If you can, watch the movie while the sun's still out so that afterward, you can distract your mind with other things before nighttime.  If you're watching a horror movie at night, turn on a few lights in a nearby room to make the atmosphere feel less scary. Avoid watching scary movies before you go to bed, as you may be more likely to have nightmares or struggle with insomnia.  Watching a horror movie at night, however, can be fun if you enjoy feeling frightened while watching scary movies. During scary scenes, having something soft to hold can help calm you down. Set a few pillows, stuffed animals, therapy balls, or other soft objects near wherever you're watching the movie just in case you're feeling nervous. If you're watching the movie with a friend, ask beforehand if you can hold their hand during the scary parts as reassurance. Watching a horror movie alone can make everything seem scary. If you want, ask a friend to watch the movie with you or invite several friends and host a scary movie party.  If you have to watch the movie by yourself, try to watch it when others will be home. Having other people nearby can help you feel less afraid. Invite friends who enjoy scary movies to create a light, fun atmosphere and help you feel more excited to watch it. Sweet or salty snacks can help distract your mind and remind you that you're watching a movie. Before you watch the movie, pop some popcorn or buy some candy to have on hand during the film. Crunchy foods, like veggies, chips, or cookies, are especially useful for calming your nerves because they can prevent you from being mentally absorbed in the movie.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Purchase the right type of paint for your surface. Purchase the right type of primer and topcoat, if needed. Coat the surface with 1 to 2 coats of primer. Allow the primer to dry and cure. Apply your first coat of paint. Let the paint dry, then add a second layer, if needed. Allow the paint to cure completely.

Answer: A basic spray paint or latex-acrylic paint will do just fine on a decorative piece or a door. Polyurethane or epoxy paint are better suited to surfaces that will see a lot of heavy use, such as boats, bathtubs, and sinks. Polyurethane paint is ready to use. Epoxy paint must be mixed with a catalyst, just like epoxy resin. The catalyst is usually sold with the epoxy paint. Most polyurethane and epoxy paints do not require primers, but most spray paints and latex-acrylic paints do. If your paint requires a primer, make sure that you buy the same kind of primer and topcoat (i.e. spray paint primer for spray paint, oil-based primer and topcoat for oil-based paint, etc.).  Check the label on the bucket or can of paint to find out if you need a primer and topcoat. Set the topcoat aside for later. If you are using the brush-on kind, simply apply it with a foam roller or a paintbrush. If you are using the spray-on kind, apply a light, even coat. Allow the primer to dry to the touch before applying a second coat. If your primer is not coming out evenly, apply it in short bursts rather than a single, sweeping, side-to-side motion. How long this takes depends on the product that you used. Some primers cure within a few hours while others take much longer. Just because the primer feels dry, that does not mean that it is cured and ready to be painted. Make sure to check the label. If you apply the paint before the primer finishes curing, the final surface may be tacky. If you are working with epoxy paint, you will need to mix the 2 parts together (epoxy and catalyst) first; other types of paint do not require any preparation. Apply the paint systematically, working from the right to the left (or left-to-right if you are left-handed), top-to-bottom. For more specific instructions:  Brush-on paint: pour the paint onto a tray, then apply it with a foam roller first. Smooth it out with a fine-bristled paintbrush.  Spray paint: apply the paint in short bursts, rather than one continuous, side-to-side motion.  How much you use of each part for epoxy paint will vary from brand to brand. In most cases, it will be a 1-to-1 ratio, but read the label to be certain. How long the paint takes to dry depends on the type of paint that you are using. Spray paint and latex-acrylic paint have the fastest drying times, while polyurethane and epoxy paint have the slowest. Most types of epoxy and polyurethane paint will not require a second coating, but spray paint and latex-acrylic often do. Apply the paint using the same method as before. Once again, just because something feels dry to the touch does not mean that it is ready to use. Read the label on your paint can. Most paints will be dry to the touch within an hour or less, but it may take several hours or even a few days before you can use the item.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Try mild bleach before using anything stronger. Use alcohol to neutralize the color. Use Sodium Thiosulfate before stains get worse.

Answer: Avoid starting with something really harsh. Add 1–2 tablespoons (14.8–29.6 ml) of Borax, which you can find at most supermarkets, to 2 cups of water and add it to your washer cycle. Get a cotton ball and saturate it in clear alcohol, such as vodka or gin. Start to rub the stain gently with the cotton ball. Don’t be alarmed when you start to see the color run. As you continue to swab the area, the color from the garment will start to cover over the bleached area. Rinse the garment thoroughly in water once finished. You can leave your garment to dry in the sun or put it in the dryer. This works great as an immediate spot treatment before your stain spreads. Dip a clean, white cloth, such as a flannel, into Sodium Thiosulfate and blot the stain repeatedly until you see it begin to disappear. Once the garment is saturated, rinse in cold water and repeat the process until you are satisfied with the results. This method, which is similar to using alcohol, but much stronger, aims to restore fabrics damaged by bleach and is known as the "photographic fixer."


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Freshen your breath. Set the mood. Make sure your partner is ready. Remember to avoid some kissing pitfalls.

Answer:
Having fresh, kissable breath is a major component of having a knockout first kiss. Make sure that you have brushed your teeth and used mouthwash some time before the kiss, or that you chewed minty gum or sucked on a breath mint before the kiss. You can do this an hour or so before -- you don't want your breath to be too minty or it will look like you tried a little too hard to get ready for the kiss. If you had dinner or ate before the kiss, you should avoid ordering any foods that are heavy in garlic, onions, or any intense spices. It's important to share your first kiss in an intimate or romantic atmosphere. Your first kiss may be something you remember for the rest of your lives, so you should make it special. You don't have to bring out a thousand candles or serenade the person, but you should pick the ideal time and place for a kiss.  Kiss in the evening. Kissing as the sun is setting or after it has fallen is more romantic than kissing during the day. You'll also feel less shy about your first kiss if you're kissing in the dark. Kiss somewhere private. Pick a private location that is free of distractions or onlookers so you can really focus on your kiss. Pick a secluded park bench, a nice spot near a beach or a lake, or even your own balcony. Look nice. Dress up a little bit to signify that you're about to have a special moment. You don't want to have your first kiss in your gym clothes. This is an important point. You can set the mood and prepare your breath all you want, but nothing you do will matter if your partner is not ready for the kiss. Before you share the kiss, make sure your partner has exhibited signs of liking you, whether it's through going on a date, touching you, or even telling you how he or she feels. If your partner keeps gazing into your eyes, touching you lightly, and smiling, then you'll know that she's ready for the kiss. Before you get ready for the kiss, you need to make sure to take it slow and to be gentle. If you're too aggressive or rough, your partner will get the wrong message, and the kiss will feel too forced. Here are some things to avoid before you go in for your first kiss:  French kissing. Don't immediately shove your tongue in your partner's mouth and leave saliva everywhere. If your partner is bold and is gently touching her tongue with yours, then you can move in for a French kiss, but don't try this in the first few seconds of your traditional kiss. Biting. Nibbling on your partner's lip or even tongue can be a kinky way to spice up your kisses. But if you do this during your first kiss, your partner will be caught off guard and may even jump back. The roaming hands. You should make physical contact with your partner, move your bodies closer, and caress your partner's head or shoulders with your hands. You should not grope your partner in any inappropriate places during your first kiss. This is doing way too much at once, and will come off as sleazy and will make your first kiss feel insincere.
