INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Rabbits are delicate and do not do well with children’s style of handling. Unlike dogs or cats, rabbits cannot cry out, and will resort to scratching or nibbling to show displeasure. Because of this, it’s often hard to know if a rabbit is unhappy. Rabbits that are dropped (as children are likely to do) are at great risk for breaking bones, especially their spines. Even though many children love rabbits, they are not a great pet for children. Like all pets, rabbits are not free. They need food, bedding, trips to the veterinarian, and litter (for training indoors). This means hundreds of dollars a year, and more if your rabbit has health problems. They should also be kept in their own area -- don’t house two rabbits together unless they are both spayed or neutered and have been shown to be able to get along. This area can be outdoors or indoors. Your rabbit needs to run and hop around and play with toys, typically for a few hours per day. Any outdoor area needs to be fenced and you must watch the rabbit at all times so that he or she is not taken by predators or is able to dig under the fence. This should go down at least 2 feet into the ground and 3-4 feet above ground. Indoors, you need a safe rabbit area (much like you would have for a toddler) with all cords hidden and nothing out the rabbit cannot play with. Many people who initially believe a rabbit will be a great pet for them -- often around Easter -- realize that it is more work than they are ready to take on. It’s at this point that many animal shelters have rabbits. Call around to shelters in your area to find out where they might have rabbits available. Often, an animal shelters website will have pictures and links to more info on the rabbits they have.

SUMMARY: Do not get a child a pet rabbit. Make sure you can afford it. Check if you have space for a rabbit hutch or cage. Be sure to have space for your rabbit to play. Get a rabbit (if you decide to) from a shelter, if possible.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: After rinsing your brushes, take a clean towel or paper towel and gently squeeze the extra water out of your brushes. Don’t wipe your brushes against the towel because this can cause the bristles to loosen and fall out. And never shake out the extra water, which can also loosen the bristles. After squeezing out the extra water, lay your brush over the edge of the table with the bristles facing downward. This will maintain the shape of the brush and prevent extra water from seeping into the head of the brush. Put a towel under the wet brushes.  Allow your brushes to dry completely overnight before you use them again. Never let your brushes dry while standing upright -- this can rust any metal parts of the handle and also loosen the glue in the head where the bristles meet the handle. Once your brushes are dry, gently fluff them out. Use your fingers to reshape your brushes if needed. You can also get the bristles slightly damp to reshape them. Hold your brushes in the steam from a garment steamer for a few seconds, then reshape the surface gently with your fingers. Try holding them in the steam from a tea kettle spout if you don’t have a garment steamer. Let the brush cool before you use it.
Summary: Squeeze out extra water. Lay it flat. Reshape your brushes. Steam them into shape.

Don’t look for a boyfriend or a relationship to make you feel wanted or valued—it’s a recipe for disaster. The more confident you are in yourself, the more compelling you’ll be to your boyfriend and to other people in general. Humans are quite good at sensing when people are insecure or inauthentic, and it tends to be a universal detractor. It will inevitably leave you unsatisfied because no one else can truly make you feel valued—that’s something only you can do. If you place a significant amount of your self-worth in a relationship, you’re entrusting your value to something that isn’t about you—relationships are about two people learning to be, yes, in a relationship with each other. It not only doesn’t make sense to see a relationship as a reflection of your own worth, it will ultimately backfire and leave you irrationally dependent on another person for your sense of self. Though he can and hopefully will provide supplemental love and support, he can’t—and shouldn’t—carry the weight of all your physical and emotional needs.  Set aside time to physically take care of yourself, whether that means taking a bath, going to the gym, learning self-defense, playing with your dog, playing a sport, etc. When you’re physically well, you’ll be more naturally confident and independent, a highly attractive attribute in anyone, and particularly in a partner. Make time to emotionally take care of yourself. Check in with yourself and how you’re feeling, independent of your boyfriend. If you’re not maintaining your own emotional health, it will very quickly begin to negatively impact your relationship.

One-sentence summary -- Be confident in yourself. Place value in yourself rather than purely in the relationship. Take care of yourself both physically and emotionally—don’t rely on your boyfriend to do it.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: After you have the desired number of tulle layers, sew the layers together along the stitched edges to connect them. A zigzag stitch works best to connect your tulle layers securely. Line up the ribbon edge with the edge of the tulle on one side and pin along the edge. Make sure that the ribbon overlaps the edge of the tulle by about 0.5 inches (1.3 cm). The ribbon should also have an equal amount of excess on either side of the tulle skirt edge so you will be able to tie the ribbon in a bow. Fold the ribbon over to the other side of the tulle and pin along this edge to hide the raw edges of the top of your tulle skirt. Sew along the pinned edge to secure the ribbon. Remove the pins as you go. If you want to secure the tulle skirt with elastic instead of ribbon, line up the elastic and the top edge of the tulle skirt on your sewing machine so that the ends are even. Begin sewing a zigzag stitch down the length of the elastic.  Tug the elastic slightly as you sew to ensure that it is the same length as your skirt edge, but do not stretch the elastic beyond the edge of the skirt. Sew all the way to the end of the elastic and tulle skirt. Stitch the ends of the elastic and tulle skirt together to secure them in a circle. Your skirt is ready to wear after you sew the ribbon into place. You do not need to sew a seam on the bottom of your tulle skirt because tulle does not fray. You can leave it unhemmed and it will be fine.

SUMMARY:
Sew the tulle layers together with a zigzag stitch. Pin the ribbon onto the pleated edge of the tulle. Fold and sew the ribbon onto the tulle edge. Sew the tulle onto your elastic strip. Leave the bottom of the skirt unhemmed.
