Q: You will want a material for your dress that is stretchy. This is absolutely necessary for an infinity dress. Although you can get lots of materials that are stretchy, knits which contain spandex are generally the easiest to use and will look the best if you're sewing as a beginner. You can technically buy any fabric that you want for the skirt itself but the stretchy material will be absolutely necessary for the straps and waistband.
A: Buy a stretchy, knit material.

Article: Once you have your name number, you can look up that number in a numerology chart to find out more about yourself. Whether you were intentionally named with a numerology result in mind or your name number is by chance, knowing your number sign can perhaps give you some insight into your personality. Some sources differ slightly in their descriptions of each number, but overall their general descriptors remain similar:  1 – Initiator action, pioneering, leading, independent, attaining, individualistic 2 – Cooperation, adaptability, consideration of others, partnering, mediating 3 – Expression, verbalization, socialization, the arts, the joy of living 4 – Values foundation, order, service, struggle against limits, steady growth 5 – Expansiveness, visionary, adventure, the constructive use of freedom 6 – Responsibility, protection, nurturing, community, balance, sympathy 7 – Analysis, understanding, knowledge, awareness, studious, meditating 8 – Practical endeavors, status oriented, power-seeking, high-material goals 9 – Humanitarian, giving nature, selflessness, obligations, creative expression 11 – Higher spiritual plane, intuitive, illumination, idealist, a dreamer 22 – The Master Builder, large endeavors, powerful force, leadership Name numbers are often referred to by other names such as your life path number. There are also other variations that can reveal your soul’s inner desires as well as subconscious dreams.  Your soul number will tell you your likes, dislikes, and deepest desires. Assign only the vowels in your first name and last name numbers, add them to find the sum, and reduce the sum to find your soul number. Your personality, or inner dreams, number is found by giving only the consonant letters a number. To find your destiny name number, you will follow the same process to find your normal name number. When differentiating between vowels and consonants, treat Ys and Ws with special care. When Ys are used as a vowel and a W is paired with a vowel to create a vowel sound, such as ‘Matthew,’ then they are given numbers for a soul number. Conversely, if Ys and Ws are being used in a name as consonants, do not give them numbers for a personality name number. If you find that you’re unsatisfied with your name number results or you don’t like your given name itself, you can always change your name. You may find that as you get older you want to be identified and called something else more suiting to your complex personality. Names aren’t written in stone, just legally binding paper, but that can be fixed.  If you want to skip the courthouse, you can always ask people to call you by a nickname. A new name may take some time to catch on, but be consistent with correcting people nicely and signing your new name correctly to help it stick. You can even start by spelling your name differently to alter your name number results. For example, Tamra is an 8 but by spelling her name Tamara, she becomes a 9.

Problem: Article: You should never claim a serious or debilitating illness you do not actually have, as these claims are easily debunked. This is especially true if the function in question is a work function, as your supervisor could request that a doctor’s note be delivered. Real but safe illnesses include the flu, a cold, bronchitis, or (for women) even a case of severe menstrual cramps. On the date of the event you’re hoping to avoid, do not--under any circumstances--leave the house. Sick people do not go out shopping, run errands, or drive around, unless a visit to the pharmacy is in order. Stay home to avoid suspicion. If you cannot stay home, prepare yourself for the possibility of running into someone. Have an excuse for being out and about at the ready. During the time of the event, give yourself some at-home pampering. This way, if someone asks how your evening went, you can honestly say something such as, “I took it easy, took a bath, and stayed in bed for most of the night,” or something similar. If you claimed to have a cold or the flu, you can give yourself a facial to reveal fresh, pink skin to create the illusion of being tired or out of sorts. Don’t go into specifics about your illness. You can simply say you were under the weather. Most people do not want to hear the details of others’ sickness, anyway, so do not feel you have to volunteer detailed information. If someone does ask exactly what was wrong with you, you can grimace and say, “You don’t want to know,” or something in a similar vein. If necessary, contact the host and once again express your regret at having fallen ill, and ask how the event went. Doing so lends more credibility to your illness, as it creates the illusion that you are genuinely disappointed at having missed the party.
Summary: Claim a safe but real illness. Stay home. Schedule some self-care. Use vague language after the event has passed. Follow up with the host.

Q: Being overweight can increase your chances of a gallstone, but losing weight too quickly can also cause gallstones. Aim to lose about 1–2 pounds (0.45–0.91 kg) a week.   Check your BMI to see if you're at a healthy weight for your height. If you're muscular, you may want to find out your body fat percentage instead. See your doctor for more information. Do not skip meals or fast when you are trying to lose weight. This can increase your risk of gallstones. You can break this down into 30-60 minutes of exercise a day. Aim to do moderate to vigorous cardio, like running, kickboxing, swimming, or riding a bike. Aerobic exercise like cardio can decrease your risk of developing a gallstone by helping you lose weight and improving your general health. A little bit of alcohol consumption each week may be able to help protect against gallstones. You might have a glass of wine with dinner or drink a beer on a night out. Stick to 1 drink every 1 to 2 days.  Moderate use means that you have no more than 1 drink a day on average. While it is OK to drink more on a special occasion, avoid drinking more than this on a daily basis.  Talk to your doctor about your alcohol consumption. The risks of drinking alcohol may outweigh the benefits.
A:
Lose weight slowly if you need to reach a healthy weight. Exercise for 5 hours a week. Drink a moderate level of alcohol.
