Q: If necessary, mark the location where you need to drive your screw. Take a 0.55 inch (14 mm) chisel and place it about 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) away from your mark with the bevel facing down. Curl up a thin strip of wood until the strip is about 2 inches (5 cm) in length. The curling technique works best for furniture projects, since it requires you to apply clamps in order to hold the curled piece in place while the glue sets. Attach a twist to your drill with the same diameter as your screw shank. Drill a pilot hole for your screw under the curled strip of wood. Then drive your screw so it’s flush with the wood surface under the curled strip. Apply carpenter’s glue to both pieces, and use a bit more if your curled edge incurred any splits or cracks when you chiseled it. Clamp the curled edge to the surface and let it dry for about 60 minutes. Place a piece of scrap wood between your project’s surface and the clamp. Tape over the surface of the scrap piece that comes into contact with your project to avoid sticking. Use medium to fine grit sandpaper to finish your project. Letting the area dry for 60 minutes should leave you with dry but slightly tacky glue. That way, when you sand it, the dust and glue will combine to fill any cracks and further hide your work.
A: Use a chisel to curl away 2 inches (5 cm) of wood. Drill a pilot hole and drive the screw. Apply glue to the wood surface and curled edge. Sand the area.

Q: That way your partner can clearly understand your boundaries and why you’re making your choice. If you're getting physically intimate and feel things are going too far, you may want to say, "Things are going too fast. Let's slow down. I'm not ready for this."  If you're together but not physically intimate, you can say, "I really like being with you. See, we don't need to have sex for our time together to be special. I'm not ready for sex, and I like things just the way they are." If you're talking on the phone, you could say, "I don't want to have sex now. I'm not ready. I don't need to have sex with you to show you that I care for you. Sex doesn't necessarily mean no to other kinds of intimacy. There are other ways to show you I care." That way, they're not left guessing why you don’t want to have sex. Practicing good communication fosters intimacy and emotional safety. Be open and honest with your partner unless doing so would put you in danger. If you don't feel comfortable enough talking with them about sex, then that's a clear sign that you shouldn't be engaging in it.  Tell them what you do want as well as what you don't want. This helps them know the ways you want to be close to them. You have several reasons as to why you don't want to have sex, such as fear of pregnancy or not wanting to betray your moral and/or religious beliefs. But you will have to communicate your reasons properly rather than simply saying, "I'm not ready". Listen to what your partner says because you'll understand them more, their feelings, and their motives. You may want to wait until after your conversation to think about what your partner says and does. You'll then have more time to process your own feelings about it. Someone who really respects you will also respect your boundaries about sex and as well as other preferences. However, if their responses are unacceptable, then consider rethinking the relationship and possibly leaving them. Sex is powerful, but it doesn't always bring emotional intimacy. The foundation of emotional intimacy is trust, respect, and good communication.   If a person responds positively and respectfully to you saying what you want and don't want to do, then that’s a good sign. You're on the road to having a healthy relationship with that person. On the other hand, if your partner is disrespectful, tries to manipulate you, or keeps pressuring you to have sex, then this is a sign that they're more interested in getting their own needs met than they are about engaging in a balanced, healthy relationship. It's important to learn more about what to look for in a partner.  It's also just as important to know what healthy relationships look like. Don’t let yourself be cornered, bullied, or manipulated. If you sense the person might violate your boundaries or harm you in any way, leave the situation and go to a safe place immediately. Trust your instinct. If you feel unsafe with your partner, then some tips are:  Only meet them in public. Make sure you're not being followed. Ask trusted friends or family to help. Have a safety plan.
A: Explain that you don’t want to have sex, why, and what your boundaries are. Communicate your feelings and desires with your partner. Evaluate their responses to understand more about your relationship. Define what kind of responses you are willing to accept from your partner. Leave the situation if you feel unsafe.

Q: A new Mastermind player quickly learns that even a guess that earns multiple hints doesn't always lead to a quick victory since there are so many possible ways to interpret the hints. Starting with four of a kind (such as Blue Blue Blue Blue) gives you solid information to work with right off the bat. This isn't the only strategy to use in Mastermind, but it's an easy one to pick up. It will not work very well if your version has more than six colors to choose from. Your next few moves are going to be two pairs of colors, always starting with two examples of the color you guessed previously. For example, following Blue Blue Blue Blue, make guesses that start with Blue Blue and finish with one other color, until you know all the colors available. Here's an example:   Blue Blue Blue Blue — no hint pegs. That's fine, we'll keep using Blue anyway.  Blue Blue Green Green – one white peg. We'll keep in mind that the code has one green, and it must be in the left half.  Blue Blue Pink Pink — one black peg. We now know that one pink is in the code, in the right.  Blue Blue Yellow Yellow – one white peg and one black peg. There must be at least two yellows in the code, one on the left and one on the right.
A: Start by guessing four of a kind. Use 2-2 patterns to detect the colors.

Q: (Just a note that there are Female Service-members overseas too.) grab a handful of $1 toothbrushes, travel medicine such as Tylenol packs, generic brand things, etc. Generic baby wipes are important, as they use them for cleaning themselves and their weapons. Car, sport, and gaming magazines are excellent. Travel games, pens, paper, notebooks, envelopes, and extra calling cards are great for communication. They don't need stamps because they can mail letters back to the states for free. AA Batteries are a top priority item, as they use it for CD players, other portable items, flashlights, and anything else that requires batteries.
A:
Figure out what your Service-member wants - even if they don't use it or prefers not to - they tend to give it to another Service-member who does; so don't worry what you put inside. Look for the cheapest needs: Think of things that a marine would enjoy while in cots or their sleeping area.
