Summarize the following:
If you are noticing your computer running a little slower than usual, you may want to simply restart your machine. When you restart your computer you are not only closing out of old programs but you are allowing your PC or Mac to check for new updates. Another way to improve the speed of your computer quickly and easily is by closing out of applications that you are not currently using. By having a ton of applications and programs open at once, you are putting unnecessary strain on the speed and performance of your device. Always check for the latest updates to your operating system. These are usually free and can be found by going to the App Store on your Mac or your operating system's webpage. Once the update has completed, restart your computer in order for the changes to take place. While it may seem unnecessary, making sure that your recycling or trash bin is empty is essential for optimizing your computer's performance. Simply double-click on your trash or recycling bin and then select "Empty All."

summary: Restart your computer. Close unnecessary apps. Update your operating system. Empty your Trash.

What is this group interested in? What do they like? Are are they like? If this group could be a kind of dessert, what would she be? Just find fun and light things to chat about to see what she, and the rest of the group, are interested in. Here are some good group questions, if you're not familiar with the group:  How do you all know each other? How often do you all hang out? What are you all drinking? Who has the best one? Conversation is about finding doors and opening them. Listen to what they're talking about and respond to the subject positively and kindly with something of your own. If the group is taking about a movie, ask what everyone thought. If someone says, "Boring," say, "Oh really? What movies do you like?" Keep the conversation flowing and positive, to show that you're an interesting person that this girl should want to talk to. The follow up is the most important part of a conversation. Nobody knows how to talk to a stranger without listening to what they say and responding. If one member of the group is giving her opinion about a particular topic, turn to the girl you want to talk to and say, "What do you think?" This is an excellent way of contributing to the break in the conversation and including her in it as well. It also signals to everyone that you're interested in talking to her specifically. If you know she's in a particular club, likes a certain band, or is particularity interested in something, focus your conversation by asking her about it. Ask how long she's been interested in that hobby, why she likes it, and let it lead to finding out more about her and seeing what you guys have in common. Conversation is give and take. If you only talk about her, she might feel like you're prying. So, after asking her about herself, think about something that has to do with what she says, and then respond. At the same time, don't only talk about yourself. Self-absorbmant is a pretty big turn-off. While you're talking to a group, try to keep things light and positive. Encourage others in their opinions and laugh at their jokes. Don't interrupt anyone or dissent from the group at first, until you're sure of the dynamics.  Lots of "pick-up artist" schemes recommend subtle insults as a way of getting a girl to be attracted. While this has mixed results, it's always a terrible idea to try in a group full of girls. Little jokes can work fine. But there's a difference between saying something teasing and flirty like, "I can't believe you hated Iron Man. Have you no soul? Prove to me you have a soul" and telling a girl that her perspective on birth control is "childish." Don't try to make yourself into someone else to get her attention or pretend to be interested into things you don't like. If you end up not having much in common, that's okay. Go look for other groups and other conversations. Start by introducing yourself and shaking her hand, than everyone else's hand. Ask if you can sit down with them. Talk to everyone equally and be genuinely interested in what they are saying. That's how a conversation should get started with a group, not with, "Are those space pants?" Don't try to show off as part of a group. Jokes and gimmicks are more likely to get you a drink in the face than an invitation to coffee.

summary: Ask more questions than you talk. Listen and follow up. Keep turning the attention of the group to the girl you want to talk to. Look for something you have in common. Tell her about yourself. Be positive. Be yourself. Forget about lines.


Summarize the following:
Regardless of whether your mom is present in your life, your dad almost certainly has an understanding of periods.  It's possible that he learned about it in school. He might have some knowledge about it from women in his life, like his mom, sisters, aunts, and so forth. Some people communicate better in writing than in speaking, so use that to your advantage. Come up with an outline of what you want to tell him.  “Dad, you should know that I started my period.” “There's been a change in my life lately, and it's that I got my period.” “I felt uncomfortable telling you in person, and this feels easier to me.” “I was afraid it would get too awkward if I told you in person.” “I need feminine products, so can we go to the store?” “Can you give me money to buy pads?” “I need a pain reliever for the cramps I've got.” This could make talking about your period less uncomfortable and make it funnier.  “Aunt Flow” “Monthly visitor” “Red wave/red sea” “Crimson wave” He wants  to be able to help you, and he wants what is best for you.  “Thanks for understanding and supporting me, Dad.” “I appreciate that I could find a way to tell you about this.” “Dad, thank you for always being there for me.” You do not need to write him a long letter all about how you got your period. Keep it short and to the point, and use an appropriately-sized sheet of paper or card to do this. You want to make sure you tell him what is going on and what you need from him, which you planned in Step 2.  Use clear, legible handwriting so that your father can read your note. Start the note with a greeting such as “Dear Dad” or “Hi Dad.” End your note with a closing such as, “Love, Susie” or “Thank you, Morgan.” If you chose a small notecard for your note, it probably has an envelope. Otherwise, you can fold up your paper and slide it into a mailing envelope.  You can seal the envelope by licking it yourself, or you can use an envelope moistener or a damp sponge. On the front of the envelope, address your dad by writing, “Dad,” “Daddy,” or “Father.” Consider rooms in the house your dad frequently visits or items he frequently uses, such as his briefcase or laptop bag.  Avoid leaving your note in a public place where someone else might pick it up. Leave your note where he will see it, such as on a counter near a gadget he often uses, inside his briefcase, or on his desk. If your dad does not approach you about the note, it is a good idea to ask him in a day or so if he read it. (Be sure to ask him in person). This way, you can know that he knows that you got your period and can help you get supplies. Be confident when you follow up with him. Ask him, “Did you get my note?” and let him know that you need to go to the store if that is the case.
summary: Keep in mind that your dad knows what menstrual cycles are. Plan a draft of what you want to say to him. Make a suggestion that you come up with a code word for your period. Thank your dad for supporting you and taking care of you. Find a nice piece of stationery paper or a small notecard. Write your note to your father. Slide your note into an envelope and seal it. Leave the note for your dad where he will find it. Follow up with your dad to confirm that he read your note.
