To do this, remove and bag your clothing (and isolate the bag away from you and others), and shower thoroughly with soap and water.  Do not use conditioner after shampooing your hair. Conditioner helps bind with radioactive materials in your hair and is strongly discouraged in the event of a dirty bomb. Seal up any clothing that may have been contaminated, label it as radioactive, and put it somewhere far away from humans and animals. You may bury it if you properly mark the area and can remember where you put it. The likely fallout from a dirty bomb is not anticipated to last longer than several days. Do not return to or visit an RDD incident location for any reason.

Summary: Decontaminate yourself if you have been exposed to radioactive material. Use a plastic bag to seal and dispose of any clothing you were wearing at the time of the blast. Seek medical attention after officials indicate it is safe to leave shelter. Continue listening to your radio or watch the television for instructions from local officials, whether you have evacuated or sheltered-in-place.


If you are using the kind that are hollow inside, you can glue some toothpicks inside to make them more lethal. Only do this if you plan on being responsible; never shoot your toothpick bullets at another person or animal. You can also use other missiles, such as lollipop sticks or toothpicks. If the Q-tip won't slide into the straw easily, you'll either have to pull the cotton batting off, or cut it off with a pair of scissors. You can only load 1 Q-tip bullet at a time. Simply squeeze the spray bottle trigger repeatedly. As the small bottle fills with air, the trigger will become harder and harder to pull. Once you can't squeeze the trigger anymore, stop. As you pump the air gun, the pressure will build up, making the trigger harder to pull. Once enough pressure builds up, you won't be able to pull the trigger anymore. If you made a trigger for it, pull on the metal loop. This will open the sports cap and send your "bullet" flying. If you didn't make a trigger, simply pop the sports cap open. The built-up air will push the bullet out, and send it flying!  Remember to be responsible. Never aim sharp missiles are other people or animals. Never aim any missile at a person's face, even if it is soft, like a Q-tip.

Summary: Cut some Q-tips in half. Push a Q-tip, fuzzy-side down, into the straw. Push the sports cap shut and pump the gun. Aim your gun, and fire.


A well-insulated layered outfit will likely make you sweat a little at some point, no matter how cold the weather may be. To stay comfortable and clean, you will need inner layers that are both insulating and will manage the resulting sweat. Silk and wool undergarments will keep you warm while whisking away moisture. In addition to wool, your visible layers may be a combination of a variety of insulating fabrics, such as flannel, corduroy, thick cottons, and cashmere. If you wear leggings, wool or leather will keep you much warmer than nylon. Much more so than any other climate, your accessories will be practical. Gloves, scarves, and hats will all help to trap warmth. Follow the same rules with your practical accessories as you would the rest of your layered outfit. Layered scarves are a chic way to keep warm. One popular look is to tie one scarf more tightly around your neck while letting a second hang loose. Cold weather layering can be much more complicated than layering in other seasons. Until you get the hang of it, try building outfits based on what you've seen look good on others.  A classic feminine winter look is to wear insulating leggings under a short skirt paired with a scoop neck sweater overtop a collared shirt. Top it off with a peacoat either the same length as or an inch or two shorter than your skirt. Matching gloves and a scarf can be added for extra protection. A more masculine outfit for the cold is a simple blazer over a sweater with a collared shirt as the innermost visible layer. Pair this look with dark slacks, and you have an outfit appropriate for most situations. Wear a matching long overcoat, gloves, and/or a scarf if the weather demands it.

Summary: Wear an inner layer that is insulating but breathable. Choose other cold weather fabrics for the rest of your outfit. Match your accessories. Look to others to figure out what works.


Once the deed is done, get comfy and plan to stay a while. There is a certain level of respect that should go along with sex, and unless she indicates otherwise, it would be inconsiderate to sneak out or make excuses for why you have to leave. Relax and take pleasure in each other’s company for the night, then go your separate ways when the sun rises.  Leaving immediately after you’re finished sends the message that you don’t even want to be around her, which can easily ruin the experience for her.  Remember, you’re with another human being, and they have feelings that can be hurt. Resist the pressure to do a lot of cuddling or kissing after sex, and don’t start telling her how much you like her. There may be an expectation to bring emotions into the mix. However, this will only complicate things for both of you. Be nice and act friendly towards her, but don’t make promises you don’t intend to keep. If you’ve been honest about what you’re after, there should be no reason to make your time together seem like anything more than what it is. Never say “I’ll call/text” you if you have no plan to. The two of you should be clear on what level of communication is appropriate before you part ways. It may be that you’re both content with the fun you’ve had and don’t feel the need to see or talk to each other again. Or, you might like the idea of becoming casual friends and sending each other a text once in awhile. Restate the fact that you both agreed it should be a one-time thing.  Keep things light. You don’t have to send each other a friend request on Facebook or schedule another time to get together just because you kept each other company for a night. Sometimes feelings can develop unexpectedly. If that’s not what you want, say so. Remind her of your original arrangement. Be firm (but not rude) if you have to. Rather than walking off with your clothes in your hand and your head hung in shame, be appreciative of the time you shared. Thank her for showing you a good time and let her know that you enjoyed getting to know her a little. Sex should be a pleasurable interaction with no regrets. There’s no point in having a one night stand if it leaves you feeling disgraced.  Reassure her that you’ll be discreet about the details of your encounter. If you do things the right way, having a one night stand can exhilarate and satisfy both individuals without causing any awkward fallout.
Summary: Spend the night together. Don’t send mixed signals. Make it known that further communication is optional. End on a high note.
