A good general guideline is seventy degrees or above, but don't be afraid to break that rule if you've got a heavy jacket or you don't mind the cold. A party? A picnic? A trip to the mall? If you're attending anything that could be considered a formal event, save the sundress for next time. If you don't like your legs or you don't want your dress blowing up Marilyn Monroe-style, a maxi dress is probably your best bet. Solid colors work best if you're going for a simple look, although floral prints can also be very tasteful. Animal prints and sequins are best left for days when you're feeling daring, so think about your usual style as you're deciding whether or not to purchase a new, boldly patterned sundress. If you want to avoid tan lines, a strapless sundress may be the best choice for you. If you prefer not wearing a bra but still want support, try on a sundress with a halter top. You can also experiment with the various styles of shoulder straps that come on varieties of sundress models.

Summary: Make sure the weather is sundress-appropriate. Next think about the occasion for which you're dressing. Decide whether you want to wear a long or a short sundress. Pick out a color and pattern. Consider the neckline of your sundress.


When you love people, it is important to give and receive affection. Try to be comfortable with hugging or embracing friends and family members, giving them gifts, and offering them praise. Also, be willing to accept the same things in return. Do not expect an immediate reciprocation of your affection. For example, just because you give someone a compliment does not mean that you will get one from them in the next five minutes. Aside from just giving and receiving affection, you can also be forward about your feelings. You should tell people in your life that you love them and care for them. You also need to allow them to express their feelings to you openly and without judgement or ridicule.  For example, a family member might come out and say that they love you. Instead of laughing at them or ignoring the statement, make it a point to say something back such as, “I love you too.” There is no need to overdo it on constant compliments or expressions of love. Many people make the mistake of being fair weather friends. In other words, they are there when the someone’s life is going well, but busy when that same person needs help. You should make it a point to be available to the people you love when they need help or support. This will show that you love them, and it will help you form a stronger bond and love them more. For example, if someone close to you recently lost a family member, cook them a meal and take it to them. Make sure that you go when you have time to talk and be present with them. When someone is in need, just being available isn’t always enough. Sometimes, it would help them tremendously if you do small chores or run errands for them in a time of need. Help them complete tasks that they need done, or buy them a something that they have been wanting.  For example, you could go grocery shopping for a friend that has just come home from the hospital. Another example would be to buy someone a meal after a hard week. If you're unsure where to start, you might volunteer at a worthy organization, charity, or community effort. Volunteering will allow you express your love to others, even strangers, and allow you to build connections to other volunteers with the same beliefs and passions. This will increase your overall capacity to love and care for others. You can continue to build the love you have for someone by keeping the relationship interesting. Do things spontaneously with people you love to build excitement and mystery. Make a point of offering and receiving romantic gestures from time to time in romantic relationships, and the passion in the relationship will stay strong.. Everyone goes through good times and bad. Life’s emotional rollercoaster can make or break the love that you have for other people. If you want to continue loving the people in your life, be there to comfort them and help them through hard times, and allow them to do the same for you.

Summary: Get comfortable with affection. Express your love. Make yourself available. Do things for others. Be spontaneous. Comfort each other.


Fluctuating hormone levels are thought to be the cause of false pregnancy in dogs. The hormone progesterone rises when your dog is at the end of her fertile cycle to prepare her for the implantation of fertilized eggs, whether she's pregnant or not. After 4 weeks, the levels will keep rising if she's pregnant, or will fall if she isn't. When the levels fall, another hormone may be released (prolactin) which makes your dog think she's pregnant. Prolactin is what causes the symptoms associated with a false pregnancy. Symptoms of false pregnancy will usually go away within three weeks, but if your dog shows them for longer, you may want to take her to the vet. The vet will clinically examine your dog and take any mating possibilities into account to confirm a case of false pregnancy. Other diseases, like late pregnancy, can also be ruled out. If your vet is unsure of a diagnosis, an ultrasound or radiographic test can confirm the condition. The vet may also order repeated blood tests to look at your dog's progesterone levels. Your vet will watch for falling hormones to determine if it is a false pregnancy. If a false pregnancy is causing your dog to be distressed, the vet may recommend treatment to reduce the severity of false pregnancy symptoms. In extreme cases, your dog may be tranquilized to relieve anxious behavior and agitation. Your vet may also recommend a cone to prevent your dog from licking herself to induce nursing.

Summary: Think about when the symptoms began. Know when to take your dog to the vet. Ask your veterinarian for help treating severe symptoms of false pregnancy.


Grip the bottom of the lock with a pair of vise-grips. Tighten the nut on the handle to ensure the lock doesn’t move around while you’re holding it. Tilt the lock away from the object it’s attached to. Don’t use your bare hands to hold the lock since you could burn yourself. Pick any location on the shackle to heat. Light the torch with a striker and turn the valve on the nozzle to make the flames into a tight cone. Hold the tip of the flame against the shackle until it turns red hot.  Find an area on the shackle that you can easily maneuver a saw around. Work in a well-ventilated area away from flammable materials. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby in case there’s an accident. After the lock is red hot, turn off the propane torch and let the shackle cool. Don’t dip the lock in water to cool it down, since this could strengthen the steel again. Use a fine-toothed hacksaw meant for cutting through metal. Hold the lock in place with vise-grips in your non-dominant hand, and pull the back and forth across the area you heated with your dominant hand. Apply firm pressure to the lock to cut through it completely.  The heat softens the metal and helps the saw teeth stay in place as you try to cut the lock. Hacksaws work best on metal locks.
Summary: Keep the lock sturdy with vise-grips. Hold a lit propane torch to the shackle for about 3 minutes. Let the lock cool down for 2-3 minutes. Saw through the area you heated.
