If you act like you have nothing to hide, no one will suspect that you do! Remember – your co-workers have seen you carry the same bag before so they have no reason to suspect you have brought in your cat. After all, it's not really the first thing coworkers imagine when another co-worker arrives at work – "Oh, Alice must have a cat in her bag." Walk briskly to your desk and avoid any water cooler chit chat. When you get to your desk, close your office door or if you are in a cubicle, slide the cat bag underneath your desk into a position that's as well hidden as possible. Put your usual bag up against the front to hide the cat's bag, or use files, the recycling bin or a printer paper box to provide cover. Pull out any work you typically do first thing in the morning. Reassure your cat that all is good and give him time to settle before moving him again.

Q: You don't want your slime to dry out, so air is your enemy. Go for a container that just barely holds your slime. It can also help to tuck some plastic wrap on top of the slime to keep it from drying out. Press the plastic wrap onto the slime. A plastic food container will work just fine. Close up the container tightly, making sure it's sealed all the way around. You can also use a screw-top container or jar. You want to keep that air out as best you can! The best place to keep your slime is in the refrigerator. The cold will help slow down the growth of bacteria, mold, and other yucky stuff.
A: Pick a container just large enough to hold your slime. Seal up the container. Put the slime in the refrigerator.

Article: Remember that you'll be dancing and moving all night, so pick shoes that won't rub or be uncomfortable. The shoes should compliment the style and color of your outfit, especially if the shoes will be visible.  For example, if you're wearing a floor-length dress, you may need to wear heels to raise your dress off of the floor. Consider wearing stylish or neutral-colored flats for the most comfort. To avoid wearing too much distracting jewelry, choose a statement piece. This could be a necklace, pair of fancy cuff links, or earrings. The item should work with the rest of the outfit instead of competing for attention. Once you've chosen your main piece, pick a few other simple items to round out the look.  Keep in mind that you may be pinning a corsage onto your dress or wearing it on your wrist. You might wear a long drop necklace that's highlighted by your dress. Wear simple stud earrings that don't overwhelm the rest of your look. Decide if you want to carry a few items with you to prom such as your cell phone, wallet, or makeup. Store these in a handbag or clutch that matches the style of your outfit. If you only need to carry 1 or 2 small things, you may be able to put them in pockets. For example, if you're wearing a beaded flapper-style dress, choose a small beaded clutch in a color that compliments the dress. Since most proms take place during warm weather, you probably won't need a shrug. If you get cold easily or think your outfit would look great with a shrug, choose 1 that you can wrap or drape around your shoulders. Around prom season, you'll be able to find lightweight, elegant little wraps made of delicate materials like chiffon. These are your best option since they are both fancy and functional.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Choose comfortable shoes that work with your outfit. Select jewelry that compliments the dress. Carry a handbag or clutch, if necessary. Wear a shrug if you think you'll be cold.

Problem: Article: A mental health professional can help you work through some of your confidence issues so that you will like yourself. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a good strategy to help you reframe your thoughts and behaviors. CBT can help you identify certain patterns that might prevent you from liking yourself or using good judgement to do things that you’re proud of. Don’t be afraid to look at old wounds.  In order to feel good about oneself, we need to understand what’s holding us back.  The healing process isn’t complete until you are willing to face some difficult emotions you may be stuck in.  Only by examining these events will you be able to move through them. When we have the courage to pry off an old scab, there is often new growth underneath.  This new growth can lead you away from negative thoughts about yourself and help you face a more positive future. When you have people around you who think positively about you, you will start to internalize those messages. Surround yourself with positive people who support you and your activities. This also means that you should spend less time with people who treat you poorly or disrespectfully. If you have to spend time with these people, such as a work colleague or supervisor, then you will need to learn how to communicate assertively with them. You can let them know that their comments are unwelcome. You might think about finding someone in your work life, or in a circle of acquaintances, who can act as a mentor for you. This person may be able to help you overcome certain challenges that you face in one area of life. For example, if you find a mentor at work, this person might tell you how she overcame her own personal challenges to become confident in her job. Hearing someone else’s story can give you a little room to be kind and generous to yourself.
Summary: Visit a therapist. Develop a support system. Find a mentor.

Article: Use sharp pruners to make a nice, even cut. Leave 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) of stem attached to each gourd. Leaving this bit of stem is important because it helps with the evaporation of water. The skin of the gourd is hard and non-porous, so the porous stem is necessary to let moisture escape from the gourd. If you have gourds that are considered immature (it is fleshy and bright green) and are concerned that the first frost will kill them, cut them from the vine and use them as temporary decorations. You generally will not be able to dry these gourds. You can also leave them on the vine--occasionally they will be hardened by the frost rather than killed. This will get rid of any residual soap or bleach. The gourds can dry in a cold location, but keep in mind that repetitive freezing and thawing can often damage the seeds inside the gourds. In turn, damage to the seeds will make it so that the seeds cannot be replanted. You can also dry gourds in a garage, barn or inside of the house, but they will get the best air circulation if you allow them to dry outside. It may take several months for the gourds to dry fully. Keep in mind that large quantities of drying gourds give off an unpleasant odor. If you dry them inside your home, it will take some time to get rid of the smell. The surface should be a structure like a wood pallet. Elevating the platform allows for increased air circulation--the air will be able to circulate around them from every direction. Depending on the size of the gourd, it could take from six weeks to a whole year to dry fully. Use the dull side of a butter knife to scrape the mould off. You can also wash mould off with a rag. If a gourd becomes soft, you will have to throw it out. Turn the gourds over once every 1 to 2 weeks to expose the bottom to air.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Cut the mature gourds off of the vines when the leaves and stem begin turning brown. Rinse them with clear cold water after washing or soaking. Choose a spot outdoors where the gourds can sit and dry. Lay the gourds in a single layer on an elevated surface. Keep in mind that drying time varies. Remove any mould that grows. Rotate the gourds.
