Article: One way to deal with the silent treatment is to simply address it directly. Ask your friend what's going on, and see if you can get an answer. Sometimes, just bringing up the fact that there's a problem will open up the gate between you two.  You could call him up and ask, "Hey, I've noticed you haven't been returning my emails or texts. Is there something bothering you?" Of course, this tactic may not work if your friend is screening your calls. It may work better to show up in person. Don't respond with anger or laugh at the person who is giving you the silent treatment. Getting angry or upset will give the person more power, while laughing at the person is likely to enrage the person.  Tell your friend directly that you would prefer she talk to you about what is bothering her.  For example, you can say something like, “I understand from your silence that you are upset or angry with me and I want to figure this out. Please let me know when you are ready to talk about it because I care about you and I want to make things right again. I will not bother you again by attempting to contact you when you do not want to talk, but I am ready to fix this when you are.” The silent treatment is a form of control, and often, someone who uses it will feed on you looking hurt or down, or you trying to contact them repeatedly. If you don't let the silent treatment bother you, then your friend can't feed on those negative feelings. You may also need to give it time before the person starts speaking to you again, and you can use this technique in the meantime. If the argument was at least in part your fault, it never hurts to apologize. However, try telling the other person you are sorry, while also explaining that you would like to talk more about what happened so that you understand her side. You want to make it clear that you will not put up with the silent treatment,  but that you are willing to listen to her side and try to sort out what happened.  Apologizing can make the person realize they're being silly, plus it can get the conversation rolling to help fix the situation. If you can't get the person to pick up a phone call, consider sending them an email or even a regular letter to say you'll apologize if you can have a conversation. Try saying something like, "I am sorry for what happened, and I would like to talk more about it so I can understand your side better. However, if you keep giving me the silent treatment, then that will not be possible. I am willing to listen whenever you are ready to talk."

Problem: Article: The room will not be for you alone, so talk to everyone who will be spending time in the room and see what they want. Talk to the kids to see how they would like the room to look and to your partner or whoever else will be playing with the kids in that room. Making the room look like a rainforest or the open seas with pirate decorations will, of course, excite everyone who enters the room at first but could grow stale over time. Picking a theme doesn’t have to be as intense as turning the whole room into a submarine but can be as simple as a certain pattern present in different areas of the room.  Other themes that are not as consuming include making  it look like an old-time classroom or just including a lot of wooden furniture and wooden accents in the room. Have fun with it! You can be as simple or as complex as you want. Picking out bright colors and large patterns will attract a child’s attention and stimulate their senses. Soft yellows, pinks and blues are good colors for walls because these leave the room bright and can go with a various amount of furnishings.   Primary colors, red, yellow and blue, are popular and are always a good choice, but exploring other color palettes in order to create a room that suits you as well as your young one is completely encouraged. Remember, you’re going to end up spending a lot of time in the room, so making a room that you like is just as important as making it so your kid will like it as well. If you choose to make your room outer space themed, try to have everything you pick out for the room geared towards that. Maybe have a light fixture shaped like a helmet or a ceiling fan like a ufo, put stars on the ceiling and have a rug designed like a meteor. The sky’s the limit (literally!) with how many things you can have in the room that match the theme. Pinterest is overflowing with playroom decoration ideas that can help inspire you in making your playroom.  This can help get you moving if you’re unsure of the direction you want to go with your space. But don’t just copy what someone else did. This room should have your thumbprint on it, giving it its own unique style.
Summary: Talk to everyone who will use the room. Pick a theme. Choose a color palette. Stick with your theme. See what other people did.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Observe your rose shoots and you’ll probably see sets of 3 or 5 leaves. The correct way to deadhead a rose is to cut just above a leaf set that has 5 or more leaves. The 5-leaf set (sometimes called a true leaf) should be facing the direction you want your shoot to grow. For example, if you want your rose shoot to grow outward, cut at a 5-leaf set that is pointing outwards as well.  Cutting at the 3-leaf set level can result in a non-flowering shoot called “blind wood”. This means, the shoot can no longer flower or grow anymore roses. However, the blind wood may flower the next season. You do not have to cut your shoot at the first 5-leaf set you see. Sometimes, a leaf set might be facing the wrong direction and you’ll need to cut further down. At the joining point of the leaf set and the shoot, you may see a dark dot just above it. This is called the bud eye and will be the point from which a new stem will grow into a rose. You should make your cut just above the bud eye. If you need to prune or deadhead many rose bushes, you may not have time to look for each and every bud eye. Fortunately, the bud eye is located very close to its leaf set. Just make your cut about ¼ inch (6 mm) above the 5-leaf set. You never want to make your cut straight. The 45-degree cut will help water from your sprinklers or rain to run off of the shoot and avoid bacteria or fungi from growing on the shoot.  There are conflicting opinions on whether gardening shears should be used at a 45-degree angle when pruning roses. Many sources claim the angle at which you cut does not affect how well the plant heals or how many blooms it produces. Consider placing a dot of white glue on the edges of the freshly cut shoot. It can reduce the risk of disease getting into the base of the plant.

SUMMARY: Identify a 5-leaf set that is facing the correct direction. Notice the bud eye. Make your cut at a 45-degree angle.

Instead of holding the yarn behind the left needle, bring it in front so it's close to you. If you forget and put the yarn behind, the stitch on your left needle will look like 2 stitches instead of 1. Don't worry about making mistakes as you work on this practice swatch. Pay attention to the mistakes you make, so you know how to prevent them in the future.
