Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Write about how and why you became friends. Make a list of your friend’s personal traits. List physical and sensory descriptions of your friend. Think about good memories you have with your friend. Write about any hardships or challenges you have faced with your friend.

Answer: To get some ideas on what to write about in your friendship poem, you may want to go back to when your friendship first started. You may write down keywords associated with your first meeting with your friend or thoughts you had when you first met your friend. You may also remember the distinct moment when you realized this person was going to be a good friend of yours and an important person in your life. Try to describe this moment, focusing on specific details. What you were wearing when you met your friend for the first time? Where did the meeting take place? What were your first thoughts or impressions of her? You can also brainstorm ideas for your poem by listing your friend’s personal traits. Is she known for being friendly, welcoming, and optimistic? Maybe she is known for having a great sense of style and an eye for fashion or a generous heart and an instinct for recognizing the good in people. Write down as many traits that pop into your head when you think of your friend. You can include some negative traits if you’d like but because you are planning to create the poem for your friend as a tribute, you may want to focus on the positive traits. The poem will then reflect the aspects of your friend that you admire and appreciate. Focus on your friend's voice, hair color, eye color, and general sense of style. You can also write down distinct details about her physique and demeanor, such as any physical ticks or habits she has, her syntax or way of speaking, any catchphrases she uses or any funny things she often says. Try to remember moments or scenes that illustrate a good time you had with your friend. This could be the time she comforted you after a bad breakup or the time you both did something mildly reckless and got away with it. Think about times when you had fun with your friend or had a positive experience. Write down the details of the memory, from where you both were to what you were wearing to what you were doing. You should consider why the memory stands out to you and what emotions you associate with the memory. You may also want to examine any struggles or hard times you experienced with your friend by your side. Even the best of friendships go through rough patches. You may want to consider any times where you and your friend had a difficult time and how you both got through it together. For example, maybe you and your friend got into a big argument where hurtful things were said. You may want to describe the scene of the fight as well as the aftermath of the fight when you and your friend made up. This could help to show how strong your friendship is and how you both were able to put aside your differences and come together for the sake of your friendship.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be cautious of offers to store your silver. Store your silver bars in a safe at home. Store your silver bars in a bank if you don’t want them in your home. Handle your silver bars with gloves. Contact your insurance company to insure your silver. Sell your silver bars to a trusted dealer if you no longer want them.

Answer: Some dealers will say that they will store your silver for you. While this sounds like an easy solution to storing your new bars, beware that many of these dealers reduce your equity in the bars over time to cover the cost of storage. Eventually, you will no longer own the bars you purchased. Silver bars are relatively easy to store, since each size comes in a uniform shape. Purchase a safe that is large enough for your needs and stack your silver bars inside of it. Put your safe in a cool, dark area to protect your silver from heat and humidity, which can tarnish silver. Place packets of silica gel inside the safe to help reduce moisture inside of it. Your bank should have a safe or a safety deposit box that you can store your silver bars in for a low annual fee. Try choosing a bank that is close to your home so you can access your bars more easily. To maintain the value of your silver you will need to keep it in good condition. Using cotton jeweler’s gloves when touching your silver helps you to prevent from tarnishing it. Also make sure to clean your silver only with soft cotton cloths. Purchase special sterling silver cloths if you don’t have adequate cloths already. Insurance policies can help protect you if you lose your silver from theft or accidents to your home. Contact the insurance company you already use to see if you can get a discount by bundling policies. You need to be just as careful when selling silver bars as you were when buying them. It is always best to do business with a trusted dealer to ensure that you will be paid. Dealers do usually buy silver for slightly under the spot price, so you can explore other options if you’d like to get more money. But remember to exercise extreme caution when selling to anyone other than an established dealer.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Clamp a pair of pliers beside the fitting. Position your PEX cutter on the opposite side of the fitting and cut. Use a PEX crimp ring cutter to remove the ring.

Answer: Fittings are secured with crimp rings, so it can be difficult to remove the latter without damaging the former. Start by gripping 1 side of the fitting with the open mouth of a pair of pliers. Clamp them down on the PEX piping as closely to the fitting as possible. The pliers will allow you to cut closely to the fitting but prevent you from cutting down onto it. With your free hand, place the open mouth of your PEX cutter over the tubing, on the other side of the fitting. The tool should be right next to the pliers, leaving just enough space to accommodate the fitting. Squeeze the tool to cut through the PEX piping. Keep the PEX tubing in place with the pliers. Put down the PEX cutter and pick up a PEX crimp ring cutter with that hand. Place the fat part of the mouth of the cutter on top of the crimp ring, leaving the skinny part underneath it. Slowly squeeze the handles until the blade at the top cuts though the ring.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take over-the-counter pain medicine. Apply hydrocortisone cream. Dab on calamine lotion. Take antihistamine pills if your sting is itchy.

Answer:
Alleviate pain with OTC pain medicine from your local pharmacy or drug store, such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB) or acetaminophen (Tylenol). Ask your doctor or pharmacist which is the best medicine for you if you have any medical issues, especially if you have liver or kidney problems. Take the medicine as indicated on the bottle or by your doctor. Apply hydrocortisone cream or other corticosteroid cream to the red, swollen area. This can decrease the pain and inflammation in the area. Use it as directed on the label. Reapply it after four hours if you need to. Calamine lotion can help bee stings as much as it helps poison ivy rashes. Dab some onto your sting with a cotton ball. Use it as indicated on the label. Calamine lotion with analgesic (e.g. Caladryl), may be especially effective. Reapply it after four hours if you need to. Take oral antihistamines like diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or chlorphenamine (Chlor-Trimeton). Use it as directed on the label or by your doctor or pharmacist. This can help relieve itching. Antihistamine pills might make you very drowsy. Be sure you know how they affect you before taking them when driving or going to work.
