Problem: Article: Turn the oven on to 350 °F (177 °C). Get out a rimmed baking sheet and set a wire rack on it. If you bought hot links that are still strung together, use a sharp knife or scissors to cut in between the links. Place as many hot links as you want to roast on the wire rack. Leave a few inches (about 5 cm) between each link so they brown evenly. Place the wire rack on the baking sheet in the preheated oven and cook the hot links for 10 minutes. Use tongs to turn the hot links over and put them back in the oven. Roast them until they're completely browned on both sides and hot all the way through. This should take another 10 minutes. Wear oven mitts to remove the wire rack and baking sheet from the oven. Use caution because grease may have dripped onto the baking sheet while the hot links were cooking. Serve the hot links with your favorite sides or cut the links up to use as part of another entree. Store leftover roasted hot links in the refrigerator. You can keep them in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days.
Summary: Preheat the oven and set up roasting tray. Cut the hot links if they're still connected. Arrange the hot links on the wire rack. Roast the hot links for 10 minutes. Turn and roast the hot links for 10 more minutes. Serve the roasted hot links.

Problem: Article: Figuring out why and when you have a wild tongue can help you to tame it by recognizing situations in which it is likely to happen. Think about why your first reaction is to say something rude or mean. Consider whether your tongue runs wild in certain situations or around particular people.  Is it a natural reaction for you? Are you just not good at communication? Is this something you always have struggled with? Does being around a particular person or people cause your tongue to run wild? For example, does one annoying co-worker make you want to tell him off all the time? Are you seeking attention? Have you found that this is a way to get people to notice you — for better or worse? Does it happen more often when you are nervous, stressed, or defensive? For example, do you put your foot in your mouth when you are put on the spot or in an uncomfortable situation? Sometimes being uninhibited by alcohol can cause us to say things we regret. Consider if alcohol is a factor in loosening your tongue and, if so, limit or completely avoid alcohol when you are in situations in which you are concerned about your wild tongue. For instance, if you know alcohol lowers your inhibitions enough to cause you to say things you later regret, it might be best to stick to just one drink at the company party, or having no drinks at all. This way you don't have to worry about saying something that might offend your boss or even get you fired. Many people who continuously offend spend a lot of time talking and very little time listening. Tame your wild tongue by making a conscious choice to actually listen when someone is talking rather than thinking about what you can say in return.  Listening to the person can give you hints as to what topics might be sensitive areas that you should avoid. Try asking the person an open-ended question in place of responding, such as, “What did you do then?” or “How are you feeling about that?” Take finances, race, romance, religion, politics, etc. off the table if you are speaking to people outside of a close-knit circle. These topics relate closely to people's beliefs and values. Your wild tongue can trigger anger and cause people to become extremely offended.  If other people are talking about these things, then just remain out of the conversation. If possible, steer the conversation in another, safer, direction. If you absolutely must comment, then remember to take a 10-second pause to think about what you are saying and the impact it might have. Remember that some things said as a joke or sarcasm can be interpreted as discriminatory.
Summary: Think about your motives. Limit alcohol and other substances that lower inhibitions. Become a listener. Avoid sensitive topics.

Problem: Article: If your parents have hidden something big, then it will be hidden in a very different place than something small, like your favorite DVD. Think about where something fits and is concealed best.  Very small items like DVDs can be hidden in very tight places. Look between books, inside bags, under lightweight items. If you're looking for something like a bicycle, avoid rooms where it obviously won't fit without being noticeable, like the bathroom. The parents' bedroom is normally off-limits, so it's the most obvious place to hide something. Think about whichever place is the most private, the location you'd get in the most trouble for investigating.  Check their drawers. Sock and underwear drawers are definitely off limits, and a bit odd to sift through. This is a very natural hiding spot. Look in their closet. The space in the closet allows for a lot of hiding spots. Make sure you check the shelves, between folded clothes, and in any messy looking location. Crawl under the bed. For some reason, people think under the bed is a good hiding spot. For adults it's a more difficult location to see because it requires getting on the floor. Take a peek behind the TV. The spot behind the TV is often dusty because the TV is heavy and hard to move. This is a natural hiding spot because people don't see the spot often. Spot-check their bathroom. There aren't a lot of great hiding spots in your parent's bathroom, so look in a few obvious locations. The more items in a room, the easier it is to camouflage something. Colors, shapes, and patterns blend into a background when there are multiple items in the way. Additionally, the more items that need to be moved, the less likely someone is to go through the effort of searching.  The pantry is a perfect hiding spot. Lots of heavy cans, cookbooks, and assorted odds-and-ends obstruct the view. Moving a bunch of food all around makes it harder to find. Check the linen closet. If you don't change your own sheets or towels, the linen closet could be your jackpot. This is a great hiding spot for thin items like DVDs, books, and games. If your parents have a home office, there is a good chance a bunch of stuff is in there. Papers litter the desk, multiple drawers too. Sift between every item and leave no page unturned. Yes, search your room. Hiding something where you'd least expect it – like your drawer full of dress socks – is actually a pretty creative idea. More than likely, they'll hide it where you don't look. If they are always harping on you about cleaning your room, it's very possible they just hid your item within your mess.  Check your closet. If you rarely look at the top of the closet, that could be a good location. Most people rarely look behind dressers or cabinets. If you're searching for something thin, try taking a peek behind either location. The garage is full of nearly unlimited hiding potential. Check behind or inside trash cans, recycle bins, boxes, and paint cans. Other cases, like those for power drills, usually have a few small spots to hide things as well.  The garage opener shroud is an easily removable casing.  Look in large containers that appear to be old junk. A foot-locker or plastic tub is a seldom touched place that's perfect for hiding.
Summary:
Consider the size of the item. Search their bedroom. Look in cluttered rooms. Search your own room. Scour the garage.
