Not all calculators have a hexadecimal mode, but if yours does, you will have more letters to spell words with. You will be able to tell if your calculator has a hexadecimal mode if you see the letters A-F on the keyboard. Calculators that have hexadecimal mode include Casios and Texas Instruments. In hexadecimal mode, you will have the letters A, B, C, D, E, and F. You can also use the numbers 1 for I, 0 for O, and 5 for S.  For example, you can spell the word "see" using 5EE. Some other words you can spell include BASS, DIE, BOSS, DOE, and SEA. When you turn your calculator upside down in hexadecimal mode, you can turn b into q and d into p. Along with q and p, you can make the letters O, D, I, Z, E, h, A, S, g/q, L, B, and G from numbers. The possibilities are endless!  b=q d=p 0=O/D 1=I 2=Z 3=E 4=h/A 5=S 6=g/q 7=L 8=B 9=G/b You can also use the number 2 instead of the word "to" or "too."

summary: Switch your calculator to hexadecimal mode. Use a combination of letters and numbers to spell words. Create even more combinations by turning your calculator upside down.

Turn on the oven to 350 °F (177 °C). Grease and flour two 8 or 9 inch (20.3 or 22.9 cm) heart-shaped baking pans by rubbing about a teaspoon of butter all over the bottom and sides of each pan. Add a tablespoon of flour and gently tilt the pan, so the flour covers the surface. Shake the excess flour out of the pans and throw it away. If you don't want to butter and flour the pans, you can also spray the molds with non-stick cooking spray. Check to see if the cakes are done by inserting a toothpick or cake tester into the center of each cake. The toothpick or tester should come out clean. If the tester comes out with batter attached, return the cake to the oven for a few more minutes. Repeat testing until the tester comes out clean. Let them cool in the pans for about 15 minutes. If removing them from the pans, flip them out and let them cool completely on a wire rack. You can leave the cakes in the pan and cover them with frosting. Or you can remove them from the pans and create a double-layered heart cake. To do so, set one of your layers on a plate with the flat side facing up. Spread some frosting over this bottom layer, then place the other heart layer on top. Cover the top and sides with frosting.

summary: Preheat your oven. Prepare your heart-shaped mold/baking pans. Bake cakes for about 35 minutes. Remove the cakes from the oven and cool. Frost and decorate.

If you’re afraid of being abandoned, you might frequently act from a place of insecurity. Calling and texting someone multiple times a day, asking someone to spend all their free time with you, and accusing others of planning to leave you are a few examples of insecure behavior. Unfortunately, acting like this can have the unintended consequence of scaring friends and partners away. If these behaviors sound like you, work on finding alternative ways to manage your anxiety.  Practicing mindfulness can help you stop pushing others away. With a mindful perspective, you can examine your motives and choose to avoid impulsive, needy behavior. When you feel insecure, instead of acting on the emotion, try writing in a journal about why you feel that way. Another good option is to take a walk and think through your feelings. Many people who are afraid of being abandoned habitually seek out relationships with emotionally unavailable people. If you have a history of abandonment, you may unconsciously select partners who will act in the same way as your parents or previous partners.  Consider whether seeking out more emotionally available partners would help you break the cycle of anxiety and abandonment. If you notice unhealthy patterns in your relationships, it may be helpful to see a therapist. A mental health professional can help you identify the source of these unhealthy patterns and teach you to develop skills that move you towards healthier, balanced relationships. If you’re afraid of abandonment, you might have the tendency to focus intensely on one relationship to the exclusion of others. Forming a strong network of friends can help you stop focusing on just one person and provide you a sense of security.  If one person decides to leave or is unavailable, you will still have other friends to fall back on. Cultivating friendships can also help you practice maintaining healthy relationships.  Build a strong support system by opening yourself up to the opportunity to find and make friends. Join a new club at school. Take a cooking class. Visit your local park more often. Or, start a volunteer service commitment to connect with people with the same interests as you. Improving your self-esteem can help you become more emotionally self-sufficient and recover from your fear of abandonment. When you feel good about yourself and your abilities, you won’t need to rely on others for validation or attention. To increase your self-esteem, try learning a new skill, volunteering to help others, or working on a personal project that’s important to you.
summary: Identify any behaviors that push others away. Question the types of relationships you seek. Build a network of friends. Focus on activities that build your self-esteem.
