Problem: Article: When you've spotted a lie the size of an elephant, it's not wise to be all, "You lying waste of space! That's obviously not true." The conversation will then take a turn you're not looking to take. Instead, form the first stage of your "accusation" more nicely, where the accused has a chance to right their wrong. Let's say you find out that your boyfriend didn't go over to his mom's this afternoon to help her around the house. Instead of saying, "Hey. I talked to your mom," start off with, "Hon, did you go to your mom's today?" And then you can launch into the, "She called. Why did you lie?" part of the conversation. It's the first time that's going to be the most awkward. After that, it's all downhill. When you catch them lying, let them know that what was said is "not accurate" or "not valid" -- but don't act as if you are the judge and jury. Just being direct while remaining calm, cool and clear is enough. It's going to take you calling them out time and time again for them to get the picture. But soon enough, like when a bell rings and food is presented, they'll know that when they lie, the habit will get disrupted. The main obstacle? Patience on your part. This one is messy territory. You need to let them know you're onto their act without saying, "I'm onto your act." You're a tactful social jiujitsu master, right? So next time your friend says, "Yeah, I disarmed bombs for the CIA back in '09," you can say, "Is that just about as true as the story you told about caging ferrets for a living?" And as they assure you that it's way more true than that ferret story, stay calm, smile, and tell them their history of untruths speaks for itself. You're not holding grudges; there's a difference. You're simply letting them know that their history of lying is now taking its toll on whether or not you believe a dang word that comes out of their mouth. That's rational, logical, and hard to refute -- they know it's true. Another kicker that's touchy. If your relationship is close enough and you're comfortable getting real with your friend/family member/significant other, suggest therapy.  Shrinks are for anyone who wants to better themselves. If you've been to therapy or are close to someone who has, use it as an example. Many people view going to therapy as a weakness when really it is a positive, life-affirming thing.
Summary: Offer a way out before you address the lie. Disrupt the habit over and over. Allude to their lying patterns. Suggest therapy.

Problem: Article: It hurts and has a distinctive set of symptoms. People with clavicle fractures often have:  Pain that gets worse when the shoulder moves Swelling Pain when the clavicle is touched Bruising A bump on or near the shoulder A crunching noise or grinding sensation when you move your shoulder Difficulty moving the shoulder Tingling or numbness in your arm or fingers A sagging shoulder This is important so that it can heal as quickly as possible and in the proper position. Bones that don't heal in the proper position often heal with strange-looking lumps.  The doctor will do an X-ray and maybe even a CT scan to figure out exactly where the fracture is. The doctor will put your arm in a sling. This is because when you move your shoulder, your clavicle also moves. It may also reduce the pain by taking some of the weight off the fractured clavicle. Children will have to wear the sling for one to two months. Adults will have to wear it for two to four months. The doctor might have you wear a figure-eight bandage to keep your arm and collarbone in the correct position. If this is the case, it may be necessary to have surgery to hold the pieces in the correct position while they heal. While surgery is unpleasant, it will make sure that it heals without any remaining marks or lumps. The doctor may use plates, screws, or rods to stabilize the bone.
Summary: Recognize the symptoms of a fractured clavicle. Go to the doctor so the bone can be set properly. Have surgery if the broken ends of the bone don’t connect.

Problem: Article: A healthy digestive system will result in "regular" bowel movements. However, "regular" is a relative term. Figure out your normal bowel movement frequency so you can be aware of changes that may be early warning signs of health problems. Generally, a healthy frequency for bowel movements ranges from once every three days up to three times daily. Diarrhea is defined as more than three trips to the toilet in one day. Constipation, conversely, occurs when bowel movements are spaced more than three days apart. Healthy feces should slowly drift to the bottom of the toilet. If your bowel movement readily floats, your diet is likely to just be very high in fiber. Pancreatitis causes impaired lipid absorption, leading to fatty floating stools. These bowel movements are extremely oily, releasing immiscible droplets into the toilet bowl. No poop is going to smell pleasant. In fact, a pungent smell can be indicative of healthy gut flora. However, certain health problems can cause feces that smell significantly stronger than usual. These include bloody stool, infectious diarrhea, and nutrient malabsorption syndromes.
Summary: Track your bowel movement frequency. Determine stool buoyancy. Take note of particularly foul-smelling bowel movements.
