This will show respect and take some of the load off of their shoulders. If you live at home, make sure you take an active role in keeping it clean, particularly your room. If you don’t live at home, stop by once or twice a week to help out.  Wash and fold the laundry. Clean and put away the dishes. Pick up after yourself and others. Run the vacuum around the house. Cut and rake the grass for them. You were probably the recipient of your parents’ taxi services for most of your life. Now, you can return the favor. Offer to take them to where they need to go, especially if they are aging and driving has become difficult for them. Even if they are still able to drive well, having someone offer to chauffeur them around is a sweet gesture. Stay respectful, especially if your parents are older. They may not like the fact that they need help driving. Asking their permission to drive them around, instead of telling them that you are, can make a big difference. As your parents age, they may be unable to take care of their home as well as they could before. Instead of having them call a handyperson to make household repairs, offer to do them yourself. If you are unable to, hire someone yourself so that your parents don’t have to spend the money.  Your parents may not be forthcoming about what they need help with because they don’t want to burden you. Ask them directly how you can help. If they still won’t tell you, do some inspecting of the home yourself, or ask other family members if they know if something needs to be done. Your parents have likely been paying for you for a long time. If you have the means, treat them when you can. Taking them out to dinner or paying for a vacation together is a great way to thank them for what they’ve done and to show your affection. If they are on a fixed income, try some of the following:  Pay some of their bills. Buy their groceries. Cover the expenses for their pets. Work out a plan with them to help manage their finances.

summary: Tidy up the home. Offer transportation. Handle repairs. Pay for what you can.

Recuva is a file recovery program that has a free version available for home use. It is Windows only, and has a graphical interface instead of using the command prompt. You can download Recuva from the Piriform website.  Make sure to choose the Free version when selecting your download. Most users can leave the installation settings at their default. Ensure that the card has been inserted into your computer's card reader, or that the card is inserted in a camera and the camera is connected to your computer via USB. When you start up Recuva and click past the Welcome screen, you will be shown a list of options for what types of files you want to search for. Choose the category that best suits your needs, or click the Other option to manually select all the file types you want to search for. On the next screen, you will be asked where Recuva should look for files. Choose the "On my media card or iPod" option and click Next. On the next screen, you will be given the option to enable a Deep Scan. This is a very time-intensive scan, and should only be done if your first scan doesn't recover the files you need. Click the Start button to begin the scan. The scan will begin, and a progress bar will display how far along it is. The time of the scan will depend on how large the SD card is. When the scan is complete, you will be shown a list of all the recovered files. Click the Switch to advanced mode button. This will enable the drop-down filter, which will help you narrow the list down a little. Original file names are almost always deleted during a recovery, so you will need to manually rename recovered files. Check the box next to each file you want to recover. Use the preview to determine which files are the ones you want to keep. Once you've checked all the files you want to save, click the Recover button. You will be asked where you want to save the files, and they will then be copied to that location.

summary: Download and install Recuva. Insert your SD card. Choose the file types. Select the location. Choose whether or not to enable Deep Scanning. Start the scan. Browse through your results. Select the files you want to recover.

A powder puff is a flat, puffy pad that comes in some powder compacts. It's usually palm-sized. To use, add a generous amount of powder to the puff. Dip it into the powder and don’t knock the excess off by tapping the puff against the lid. If you're buying your own powder puff, look for one that's about the size of your palm. Applying the powder lightly at first will prevent the puff from smudging your makeup. Tap the puff lightly all over your face. Then press more firmly after a light layer has been applied. If you’re applying powder under your eyes or around your nose, fold the puff in half. Then apply the powder as usual. A smaller puff gives you more control and prevents you from getting powder in places you don’t want it. Run the back of your hand against your face. If your cheek feels smooth and dry, you’ve applied just enough powder. If your face still feels wet or sticky, apply a bit more powder.
summary: Dip the puff into the powder. Apply the powder lightly at first. Fold the puff in half for small or narrow areas. Feel your cheek with the back of your hand to see if there’s enough powder.
