Over-the-counter acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help to relieve the pain of a migraine for some people.

Ibuprofen and acetaminophen doses are listed on the bottle. Do not use more than the dose on the bottle. Talk to your physician to make sure that there are no interactions with other medications you are already taking or with an underlying medical condition. Overdoses of either of these over-the-counter pain medications can be life threatening, causing significant liver or kidney damage.

Problem: Article: The more you watch, the better you’ll know teams that you might want to support, and the easier it’ll be to eliminate possible choices. In fact, watching a significant amount of football on TV is the best way to educate yourself about the game and about teams.  Watch different teams from different regions. Watch your local team, or the team your friends and family favor, play against a top ranking team. Don’t be afraid to watch teams that are far removed from where you live. You shouldn’t really commit to supporting a team until you’ve seen them play live. Seeing a team play in person will give you a much better sense of whether or not you‘ll be comfortable supporting them in the future. Attending an actual game is very important in narrowing down your choices. Consider:  Attending a game will give you a sense of the specific fan culture of that team. You’ll see how fans tailgate, how they behave, and you’ll get a sense of whether or not you fit in. Attending a home game for a prospective team will give you a sense of the atmosphere of their stadium. You’ll hear the songs they play and the announcer. You’ll also see the halftime show, hear the band, and see the cheerleaders. Try to get good seats, rather than seats in the nosebleed section. This way, you’ll be closer to the action and you’ll be able to see how the players and coaching staff interact on the sidelines. If you’ve done your homework so far, you’ll have a fairly decent idea of what the stats mean (wins, losses, touchdowns, and more). Take your list and lookup the stats of the teams on it. The stats might speak to you, and might give you an idea of who to support and who not to support. Since you’re trying to pick a favorite team for the long-haul, don’t rush the process. Set aside a month or two, or perhaps even the whole football season before you make up your mind. You’re going to want to review all of the teams you’ve considered fairly, and give yourself time to consider the many factors. After you’ve watched a number of games and considered other factors, make your list. Include 3 to 5 teams that have impressed you the most. This list does not need to include all winners, or all hometown teams. It can include teams that you like for any reason. Don’t feel like you need to justify putting a team on your list. You’re simply narrowing down the number of possible teams.  Include teams that you might have an emotional attachment to because of family, friends, or region. Include teams that have individual players or coaching staff that you already support. Don’t be afraid to include teams for any reasons. After all, this is all about your preference! Now that you’ve educated yourself about a number of teams you’re interested in, watching some of those teams again will gain you new insight. Watching your prospective teams, once you’ve narrowed down the selection, will give you a really good idea of which teams you favor more.  Try to watch the teams on your list play against each other, if possible. Watch more than one game for each team. Attend more games in person, if you can. When you’ve got your list, start to narrow it down. What matters most to you? Is it individual talent, the coaching staff, hometown loyalty, or other factors? Ask yourself all of these questions, and eliminate one at a time from your list.  Make a list of pros and cons for each team. Rank the teams based on emotional value, skills level of the team, or the importance of tradition (if your family supports the team). Eliminate teams that don’t measure up. Once you’ve reviewed all of the necessary information, pick a team. This is the moment you’ve really been waiting for. You’ve done all of your homework and considered a number of factors, now you get to support the team that has won this vetting process. After you’ve vetted the team and decided to support them, watch another game. This should be a new experience for you. You’ll no longer be scrutinizing the team, but supporting them. You’ll take pleasure in their victories, and you’ll mourn their defeats.
Summary: Dedicate some time to watching significant amounts of football on television. Attend a couple football games. Review team stats, to begin the process of narrowing down your choices. Avoid rushing this process. Make a list of teams that impress you. Spend time watching or attending the games of teams on your list. Narrow down your list. Pick a team. Watch them play, again.

The elastic should be long enough to attach at the back of the heel, run over your ankle, and then reattach at the back of the heel on the other side. The ends of the elastic should attach one finger’s width away from the back heel seam on either side.  You can position the elastic on the inside or outside of the shoe. If you want to attach your elastic to the outside of your shoe, position it low, near where the heel meets the floor. Elastics sewn on the inside should be positioned all the way down in the shoe. Keep in mind that elastic sewn on the inside of the shoe may irritate your skin. Once you have positioned your elastic, pin it in place and slip your foot into the shoe to make sure it fits properly. Be careful not to poke your foot!  The elastic should be snug, but not so tight that it cuts off your circulation. The elastic should be tilted slightly forward so that it lies flat against your ankle. Sew each end of your elastic onto the shoe using dental floss or reinforced thread. Start your stitching near the top of the shoe, just under the drawstring. Continue stitching along each side of the elastic end, so that your stitching forms a box.  Be sure that you don’t stitch over the drawstring. Only stitch through the canvas lining of the shoe. You don’t want the stitches to show on the silk outer layer! You’ll need your shoes to be even, of course! Sew elastic onto your other shoe following the steps outlined above.
