Problem: Article: Squeeze more threading oil onto all the teeth of the die head that are not yet cutting into the pipe. This is important to make cutting easier and prevent wear and tear on the teeth. Don’t be shy about squirting on the threading oil. You can’t use too much lubricant during this process. Turn the handle back counterclockwise about 3/4 of the way, then ratchet it clockwise as far as you can go, using your bodyweight to help you turn it. Repeat this until all the die head’s teeth are around the pipe, which means all the threads have been cut. If at any point you feel increased resistance while cutting, stop ratcheting and apply more threading oil to the exposed teeth of the die head. Pull up the little black knob next to the die head and turn it to reverse the direction of the ratchet handle. Ratchet it counterclockwise as far as it will go, then turn it back clockwise about 3/4 of the way, and repeat until you have unscrewed the teeth of the die head from the threads. When you have unscrewed the die head all the way, you can simply pull it to slide it off the end of the pipe. Seal the threads with 2-3 wraps of teflon tape before you attach any connectors or fittings. This will ensure a tight, well-sealed connection. You can also use a liquid pipe thread compound instead of Teflon tape to create a strong seal.
Summary: Lubricate the exposed teeth of the die head. Keep ratcheting the handle until all the die head’s teeth have cut into the pipe. Reverse the direction of the ratchet handle and ratchet it off the threads. Wrap Teflon tape clockwise around the threads at the end of the pipe.

Problem: Article: You will need the skillet to be very hot before you can add the marshmallows, so leave the skillet in the oven while it is heating. This method will allow you to make a s'mores dip. If you do not have a cast-iron skillet, you can use another, similar-sized oven-safe dish instead. Set the marshmallows down on their (curved) sides, and cut them in half using a sharp knife. You should end up with a disk-shaped marshmallow. Set these aside. Make sure that you use a pot holder, because the skillet will be very hot. Do not turn the oven off. Let the marshmallows bake for 5 to 7 minutes. The tops will turn golden-brown and crispy, but the insides will be soft and gooey. If you want a crispy, fire-like texture, turn the broiler on during the last few minutes. Watch them carefully to avoid burning them. Set it down on a heat-safe surface and let the dip cool for at about 5 minutes. You can spread the marshmallows onto graham crackers, cake, or cupcakes using a butter knife. You can also break graham crackers in half or into quarters, and dip them into the melted marshmallows.
Summary: Place an eight-inch (20.32 centimeters) cast-iron skillet into your oven and preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Cut the marshmallows in half. Take the skillet out of the oven and set it down on a heat-resistant surface. Put the skillet back into the oven. Take the skillet out of the oven. Serve the marshmallows.

Problem: Article: If the boots are loose around your leg, they will definitely bunch up. Pick boots that are snug around the ankle and calf, but make sure they aren’t too tight at the very top, either. Try on several pairs and select the ones that contour to the curves of your foot, ankle, and calf the best. Though you may love the look and feel of soft, suede boots, the supple material is going to slouch at the ankle. Choosing boots made from a more sturdy material can help prevent the material from bunching around the ankle. Rigid leather boots or boots with ankle support are the least likely to slouch. Boots that have zippers or laces will stay up better than those you simply pull over your foot and leg. Zippers and laces are natural supporters that will help the boot fit your foot and leg better, leading to less slouching. Ensure the laces or zipper tightens around your ankle to keep your boots standing tall.
Summary: Choose boots that fit snugly. Select boots made of a sturdy material. Pick a pair of boots with zippers or laces.

Problem: Article: Feed your pet twice a day at regular times, or as recommended by your vet. Some dogs prefer eating later in the day. If the dog is healthy and energetic, but gets distracted before finishing, set his food down and walk away. Come back in a half hour and pick his dish up, even if he hasn't eaten all of his food. It won't take him long to realize he needs to eat when he has the chance. Have the dog play with a toy with food hidden inside. Teach your dog new tricks and offer healthy treats or food as a reward. To make the dog's food more palatable, you can stir in a few spoonfuls of canned dog food or pour a little warm water or broth over the top. Alternatively, use dog gravy. You can buy this from pet stores. These are just granules that you mix with dry food and warm water that can make the food far more tasty for the dog. If the dog still won't eat, try these variations.  It may take a little time for your dog to adjust to the change, but they may help in the long run:  Feed your dog away from other pets. Use a different bowl or place it at a more comfortable height. Feed directly on the floor instead of in a bowl. Some dogs get distracted by activity and have trouble focusing on their meal. Make sure your dog's food and water dishes are in a quiet spot where he can eat in peace. Try a different brand, or switch from dry food to wet food. Make the change gradually over a week: mix 1/4 new to 3/4 old for a few days, then half and half for a few days and so on. This will be much easier on his digestion. Changing a dog's brand of food suddenly can cause obnoxious gas and diarrhea. Make sure all food products are fresh and stored in a closed container to keep moisture and pests out. Check the expiration date on foods when you purchase them and check often when they are stored.
Summary:
Feed at the same time every day. Make mealtime fun. Make the food tastier. Change your dog’s feeding situation. Switch foods. Keep food fresh.
