Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take weekend trips out of town to enjoy being out in public together. Keep things drama-free and do fun activities together. Don’t make comments about his relationship with his wife. Let him make the move to contact so you don’t come off as needy.

Answer: For some quality alone time without the worry of being seen in public, go away together. You’ll enjoy going to a new destination for some special one-on-one time. You probably won’t be able to take these trips often, just depending on his schedule with work and his family. Aim to take a trip once every couple of months if you can manage it. You may be limited in what you can actually do on a day-to-day or night-to-night basis, and your time might mainly be spent at your home or a secondary location. That doesn’t mean you can’t have a good time, though! If you’re looking for something to do that’s a little out of the ordinary, consider cooking a meal together instead of getting takeout or schedule a couples massage as a romantic gesture. Your affair might last for years, or it may be over within a few months. Commit to enjoying yourself as much as possible and focus on the present instead of worrying about what might happen in the future. Even if he complains about his home life and his spouse, avoid making negative comments or comparing yourself to her. Instead, try to refocus attention to the present moment. You could try changing the subject or saying something simple, like, “You don’t have to spend time with her right now—let’s enjoy our evening together!” It could be really tempting to put his wife down to try and make yourself look even more appealing; try to remember that he already chose you and you don’t need to give your input on his marriage. The best way to dampen an affair is to get possessive and jealous. Remember, he has a separate life that he has to participate in. Your time together will be a lot more fun and enjoyable if you aren’t bombarding him with messages about how you want to spend more time together. The less clingy you are, the more he will want you. Maintaining a casual and nonchalant demeanor may make him chase you even harder.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Set up your boutique on an established site, like Etsy or Amazon. Try a hosted platform to easily set up your own website. Make a self-hosted site for a cheaper option for a smaller boutique. Choose a website design that will appeal to your audience. Equip your website with a secure checkout feature. Keep your customers’ information safe with security features.

Answer: One challenge of starting a new business is simply getting your name out there. Create a profile, under your boutique’s name, on common sites like Amazon, eBay, and Etsy. Offer your products on these established sites first to create a customer base. Once your website is set up, you can move items over and let your customers know that they can find new products on your new site. A hosted platform means that a company will “host” your site, providing you with support, resources, and often some website templates to get you started. These sites are typically easy to use and customizable, so you can make your pages look unique and reflect the feel of your boutique. They also have less of a chance of going down due to hosting errors than do self-hosted sites.  Try services like Shopify, Volusion, and BigCommerce. Hosted sites will often charge a monthly fee to use their software, and their checkout pages are typically less customizable than a self-hosted site. Self-hosted platforms can be tricky, because the platform will provide with software but not the same amount of support and maintenance as a hosted platform. However, you can customize your website more effectively with a self-hosted website, and you won’t have to pay a monthly fee to the platform.  Some self-hosted platforms include WooCommerce and Magento. Look for sites with an easy-to-use interface. Research the best platforms for a small online store and see if you can do a trial period before you make your final decision. You can hire a web designer or use a template from your chosen platform. Make sure the end design looks professional and clean, and will reflect the product you’re selling. For example, you might choose a sleek, modern design if you’re selling high-end clothing. If most of your products are flowy, boho-style skirts or jewelry, let the design be softer and less edgy. Most hosted platforms, and some self-hosted platforms, come with a pre-made checkout page that you can trust. If your platform doesn’t provide a checkout service, look up options through secure payment websites, such as PayPal, which allows you to integrate their checkout process into your own website. Get an SSL certification for your page to encrypt the connection (most hosted platforms should already be certified). Use an address and card verification system and require your customers to create strong passwords. Set up alerts to notify you of suspicious transactions, like many orders placed by one person but with multiple credit cards. Use firewalls and tracking numbers for your orders. Most hosted platforms should come with heavy security already in place.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Position the head straps about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart. Adjust the head straps until they fit comfortably. Loosen the nose bridge if the eye cups pull towards the center. Tighten the nose bridge if the eye pieces pull outwards.

Answer: Most goggles will have two straps, as they offer more security. After fitting your head straps, you should be able to comfortably pull the straps outward without putting too much tension on them. If you're having trouble, loosen the straps.  The eye piece seals shouldn't wrap too far around the corners of your eyes. Goggles that have one strap with a slit in the middle aren't as secure. If you're going to use them, place the strap in the center of the back of your head so that it lines up horizontally with your ears. Pull on the loose ends of the straps until the tension of the goggles is firm but comfortable. Use double-strapped goggles for optimal security. With this goggle type, the bottom strap should rest in the center of your head and the top should rest as high as possible to prevent your goggles from sliding down toward your neck. Don't tighten straps too far—too much tension can cause discomfort and markings around your eyes. If the outside of your eye cups feel like they're going to lift off of your face and let water in, you need to loosen your nose bridge or switch to larger adjustable piece. If your nose strap is made of rope, you can always cut off a piece of rubber from the adjustable head strap and swap it in. Many people find that this offers a greater deal of comfort than rope. If you feel the inside of your eye cups are going to lift off of your face and allow water in, tighten your bridge or switch to a smaller adjustable piece. If your eye pieces fit fine but water is starting to leak in, it could be a sign that you need a new rope for your nose bridge or a new adjustable piece.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Determine a maximum cost. Ask your guests to bring a gift to the party. Count all the guests at the party who want to participate. Throw all the numbers in a hat.

Answer:
Generally, $20 to $25 is the recommended cap on cost for gifts, but you should adjust that amount to suit the situation. For casual gatherings, a smaller amount might be appropriate. Likewise, if it’s just a silly game for kids, it will probably be more fun with small, inexpensive toys than bigger items. Give them the price range, and let them know that they should wrap whatever they bring.  If the game will include all ages, ask guests to label any adult items, such as alcoholic beverages. Likewise, if they bring a toy, they can label it specifically for children.e Specify in advance whether they should bring silly gag gifts or something small but nice, just so all of your guests are on the same page. Write numbers on pieces of paper from one up through the total number of participants. Have each person to take one. This will determine the order that they go in to pick their gift.
