You should never put stained clothes into the wash without treating them first, because the water can set the stains. Spray a stain remover, like Shout, OxiClean, or your other preferred brand, onto the stained area and let it sit for about 30 minutes. After the solution has soaked into the stain, you can put it in the washer and run it through the cycle as normal. Before you wash underwear with blood stains, rub a pinch of salt into the stain. Then, run the stained area under a stream of cold water to remove as much of the blood as possible.  The salt works to pull out the blood while the cold water loosens it from the fabric. Never use warm water to remove blood stains, as this sets the stain and it will be impossible to remove. Light colored underwear and bras can get sweat stains, especially in the warmer months. Rub a mixture of equal parts dish soap and 3% hydrogen peroxide on the stain and let it sit for 30 minutes. After the mixture has soaked into the stain, place the garment in the washer and wash as normal.

Q: Try to be casual when you say this, as being direct might be interpreted as too strong; however, it's possible that the girl you're interested in hasn't realized that you're interesting in dating. You might say something like:  "Oh man, I've been single way too long. I have the worst luck in romance. How about you?" "I've been trying to find a date for the dance next week and I'm having the worst luck. I don't want to go alone." It's very common to start talking about your ideal partner, even with girls you are interested in. If you get this opportunity, try to vaguely describe the girl you like as your "ideal" to hint to her you're interested. You might say something along the lines of:  "My last date and I had nothing in common. I want a girl who likes books, electronic music, and video games. She's got to be out there!" "I just want a girl who is laid back, likes to read, play board games, and poi. Is that too much to ask for? I don't think so!" In some cases, the girl you like may have only thought about you as a friend and not a romantic partner. To get her thinking about you as a potential romantic partner, point out the parts of a good romantic relationship that you see in your friendship already. For example, you might say to her:  "We always have so much fun together. I laugh more with you than anyone else, and we never run out of things to talk about." "I can't find a single girl to date who shares the same interests that we do. You and I have such a strong relationship. I just want a girlfriend that I can share that with, you know?" Most people get caught up in worrying what to say to show someone how they feel and overlook the very important signals we send with our bodies. This is an effective way to literally tell a girl you like her without speaking a word!  Make eye contact. Holding a person's gaze can be really intense, and in most normal social encounters, people rarely make eye contact for longer than one second. Send her a clear signal that you are interested by catching her gaze and holding it for a little longer than one second. Don't overdo it with the eye contact, though, as this can come off as hostile or make the other person uncomfortable. Turn your entire body (even your feet) toward the girl when you are talking, not just your head, to show your interest. Try "echoing" her body posture. If the girl leans in, try leaning in, too. If she takes a sip of her drink, do the same. Don't copy her immediately after each action — that will start to look weird. Let a few seconds pass before you echo her movements. This not only sends the signal that you like her — it can actually predispose her to like you more, too. Try doing something that is a little special or out of the ordinary, but not totally obvious. Something like opening her car door, offering to help out with homework/rides/projects at home, bringing back a small gift from a vacation, bringing her favorite candy to lunch for her, etc. This works best if you know her tastes and interests somewhat, as this can allow you to do something meaningful that you know she will appreciate. By giving the girl you like priority over others, you'll not only make her feel special, but you'll also show her you're more interested in her than others. You should be careful when doing this, however. In some cases, your attention may be taken advantage of, or you could hurt the feelings of others by making them feel unimportant. You don't have to ignore others to give her priority. Even giving her your full attention when she's speaking can make her feel special.
A: Mention you're single and looking to date. Draw comparisons between the girl you like and your ideal. Point out the romantic strengths of your friendship. Use body language. Show her how you feel with small gestures. Prioritize her.

Article: If you picked up your shell at the beach, cleaning it before you start crafting with it will protect you from any germs or bacteria that might be lingering. To do this, boil a small pot of water on the stove and drop the shell in the boiling water. Let it sit for 5-6 minutes, then turn off the heat and remove it with a spoon.  Let the shell cool for 5-10 minutes before you start to drill. If you purchased your shell from a store or online, you don’t need to boil it. Set the shell down on a flat surface. Place it on whatever side feels the most stable to avoid cracking it when you start to drill. Then, decide where on the shell you want to make the hole and use a pencil to mark it with a light dot.  If you want your shell to hang down naturally, like on a chain for jewelry, place the hole near the top or base of the shell. If your design calls for the shell to be suspended in the middle, place the mark in the middle of the shell. Place a few layers of newspaper or an old placemat under the shell to protect the surface you’re drilling on. Open a pair of scissors and place one tip against the hole. Hold the shell firmly with your other hand and slowly twist the scissors down in to the shell, pressing down gently but firmly.  You may need to hold the scissors by the other blade instead of the by the handle. If this is the case, wear a thick glove to protect your hand. The size of the scissors will determine the size of the hole. If you want a smaller hole, use a thinner pair of scissors, or even nail scissors. For a larger hole, go with regular scissors. Twist the scissors blade around and continue pressing down until you break through to the other side. Draw back the scissors slowly and carefully and set them aside. Don’t continue pushing down once you break through; the blade widens quickly and the hole might crack. Gently blow on the hole to rid it of any dust you may have created. This will let you get a good look at the hole to make sure it’s the right size and in the correct location. You can also rinse the shell under water to clean it. If you need the hole to be bigger, insert your scissors again. Push them through a little farther and twist again, focusing on widening the hole. Measure the hole against the string, chain, or jump ring you plan on threading through. Make sure it’s wide enough before you put away your scissors.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Sanitize the shell with boiling water if you found it outside. Set the shell down on its flattest side and mark the hole location. Twist the sharp point of your scissors into the mark. Continue twisting until the hole goes all the way through. Clear the hole by blowing away any dust. Repeat the process if you want the hole to be larger.
