Q: If you're too young to go out and buy ice cream yourself, ask your mom or dad to buy you some. In the freezer section, you can buy gallons or pints of ice cream, ice cream sandwiches, and pre-made cones, in addition to other treats. You can also go to an ice cream shop and have them serve you the ice cream and toppings. This includes pre-made cones, ice cream sandwiches, and any frozen treats that come in packaging. Be careful not to drop your ice cream when you open the container it is in. Throw away your wrapper in a trash can. the ice cream into a bowl, waffle bowl, or cone. You will have to do this for gallons or pints of ice cream. Using a sturdy spoon or ice cream scooper, remove scoops of ice cream one at a time, and place the scoops in your cone or bowl. If you are using a cone, ask someone to hold it while you scoop the ice cream into it.  Run the spoon or scooper under warm water for a few seconds before scooping. This will make it scoop better. Careful—pushing down hard with the spoon may cause it to bend. Gently push the top of the ice cream into the cone so it makes room for more. Bits of brownie, sliced strawberries, sliced bananas, crushed nuts, cookie pieces, and even gummy bears are all excellent toppings for your ice cream. Putting the ice cream in the freezer before it begins to melt will keep it fresh longer. You can use a spoon for a cone, too, but cones are made to be eaten by hand. If you’re eating an ice cream come, you need a napkin because melted ice cream tends to drip out of the bottom. Wrapping a napkin or small piece of foil around the base will prevent the ice cream from melting quickly and dripping on you.
A: Buy the ice cream. Unwrap any packaged ice cream. Scoop Add toppings. Put the any remaining ice cream back in the freezer. Get out a spoon if you are using a bowl or waffle bowl. Wrap a napkin around the base of an ice cream cone.

Q: For some breaks, your vet may put a cast on your dog. The cast helps keep the dog’s leg at a certain angle and reduces movement. A cast can only be placed on certain locations on the body due to the way it fits on the dog. For a simple crack in the bone or a non-displaced fracture, then a cast may be sufficient. Puppies heal much more quickly than older dogs, so they may also get a cast. For more complex fractures or breaks, your dog may require surgery. Breaks in adult or older dogs often are repaired through open surgery. During surgery, the dog is given an anesthetic. The surgeon opens the tissues overlying the bone to gain access to the fracture.  One method used in surgery is to stabilize the bones using a metal pin which is passed up through core of the bone to realign the fractures. Alternatively, the vet may use special metal plates which are screwed either side of the fracture to hold everything in place. For exceptionally complex fractures where the bone is broken in several pieces, an internal-external fixator is used. This is where pins are placed at right angles to the bone and the pins supported on an external scaffolding system. Regardless of the treatment method, it is essential your dog is rested for the duration of the healing time. The recovery time for your dog will vary depending on the age and severity of the break. The recovery time can range from five weeks for a growing puppy to 12 weeks for a typical adult dog.  Complications, such as movement of the implant or infection, can considerably delay healing and may raise the need for revisional surgery. Make sure to limit your dog’s activities, give your dog any prescribed medications, and follow your vet’s post-op directions exactly to ensure a speedy recovery for your dog.
A: Get a cast. Undergo surgery. Monitor your dog carefully during recovery.

Q: Are you hoping to change their mind about something? Is there someone else you’re trying to protect? Perhaps you just want to feel more comfortable around them yourself. Before starting a conversation, make sure you know what your goals are in bringing up your concerns.  It’s possible that your goals can’t be achieved. For example, you might wish that a much older relative would stop using a word you find offensive. However, they may be so stuck in their ways that having a conversation isn’t going to yield your desired result. If your goal isn’t achievable, choose one that is. You might not be able to stop your relative from using that word, but you can at least let them know how you feel about it. Choose a time and place when you can both feel comfortable. You should be able to have privacy and not feel rushed. You may want to let them choose the time and place.  Let them know why you’d like to talk to them. You can say, “You said something the other day that I’d like to talk to you about. Are you up for that?” Let them know that you are assuming the best about them. You can say, “You said something earlier that I admit I found offensive. I’m sure you didn’t intend that, but I’d like to talk about it.” If the person is someone you know well and trust, keep that in mind. They  may feel awful knowing that they offended you. If they’re someone whom you don’t know well or don’t trust, keep that in mind, too.  Consider whether the person has any motivation to change their behavior. For example, if their job is at stake, they will likely take this conversation seriously. If they’re unlikely to ever see you again, they may simply brush off your concern. You can use your relationship to the person to help influence them. For example, you could say to a service provider, “I’d like to continue hiring you, but I feel really uncomfortable when I hear that kind of language.” Or to a relative, such as your child, you could say, “I don't feel comfortable being around others when you speak that way.” If the remark was particularly hurtful, tell the person that if it happens again, you will take action. This is generally appropriate when hateful words or slurs are used knowingly.  In a work environment, you can say, “If I hear that word again, I’m going to have to speak to our supervisor.” In a family context, you can say, “I think I will have to go home if you continue speaking like that.” Just tell them straight forward. We usually overthink things and make the worst of it. Being straight forward does not mean that you should rub it in their face. You just have to say how you feel without gracing your self ego as well as theirs. People always try to tell some indirect stories and it ends up vindicating the other person. Knowing how you feel may help the person understand. They might not understand why what they said is offensive, but knowing that you feel hurt could be enough to help them change their behavior.  Use “I” statements. This means saying, “I felt angry when you used that word to describe our coworker” instead of, “It was wrong of you to use that word to describe our coworker.” Another example is saying, “I felt embarrassed when you told that joke” instead of, “That joke wasn’t funny.” Try to express your feelings without getting visibly upset. If the remark was extremely offensive, you may feel panicked or even start to cry. If this happens, that’s okay. You may simply need to take some time and space before you can have a calm conversation. If you find yourself becoming upset during the conversation, excuse yourself.  Say something along the lines of, "Please give me a minute, I'd like to discuss this with a level head."
A:
Decide why this conversation is important to you. Ask the person to have a conversation. Remember who you’re talking to. Prevent a second offense. Speak about your feelings.
