Problem: Article: The best way to get fitting suspenders is to go to a store that sells them. Ask a store associate to try them on. Employees can usually help you put the suspenders on and get the perfect fit. Suspenders can be found at department stores or purchased online from suspender retailers.  Suspenders are based on height. Suspenders 42 in (110 cm) long fit adults between 5 to 5.75 ft (1.52 to 1.75 m) tall. Suspenders can be often be found as small as 36 in (91 cm) long and as large as 52 in (130 cm). For sizes outside this range, speak with online suspender retailers to create a custom order. The midrange suspender thickness is between 1.25 to 1.5 in (3.2 to 3.8 cm). Smaller suspenders may appear more fashionable, but larger sizes offer more support. X-back suspenders form an x on your back. They offer more support because the straps are spread apart. This makes them ideal for physical work and casual settings. Most of these suspenders fasten with clips since most pants don’t have buttons on the sides. You can always have a tailor sew buttons onto your pants so you don’t have to use clips on X-back suspenders. Y-back suspenders form a y on your back, attaching to your pants through a single strap that runs down the center. This makes them a little weaker than X-back suspenders, so it’s important to get good quality. These suspenders are often seen at business or formal events. Suspenders with clips fasten directly to your pants, so they’re always easy to wear and remove. Although they’re appropriate to wear at any occasion, many people think these suspenders are less professional and less classy. Avoid wearing them in very formal settings. Clips can also damage your trouser fabric over time. Button-on suspenders generally look better than clip-on suspenders. However, they need to attach to buttons inside your pant’s waistband. Either use them with pants that have buttons or sew buttons onto your other pants.  Y-back suspenders require 2 buttons in the center of the backside of your waistband. X-backs need 4 buttons total, 2 each off to the side. Both types require 4 buttons on the front. When sewing on buttons, put the suspenders on to see where they fall on the inside of the  waistband. Mark those spots and sew on the buttons there.
Summary: Get suspenders that fit your body. Pick X-back suspenders for sturdiness. Choose Y-back suspenders for formal occasions. Use clip fasteners for pants without buttons. Wear button-on suspenders for style.

Problem: Article: Gather the wires from the closest circuit to the contactor. You should have enough wires to fit in the L slots on the top half of the contactor. The wires will usually have a color scheme like red, yellow, and blue. One wire fits into each slot on the contactor.  Make sure the wires are long enough to reach the connector. If you need to, trim them with pliers. Keep the wires separated so you know where they fit on the connector. Double-check that you have room for all of the wires on the contactor. The device you wish to connect needs to be within range of the contactor. Position the device first to ensure your wires are long enough. The device’s main wires should match the ones coming in from the electrical circuit. These will fit in the T slots on the bottom part of the contactor. Your device may also have some smaller 120-volt wires colored black and red. Save these wires to plug into the auxiliary slots. Cut through the insulation on the wires by using wire strippers. Lay a wire between the blades and then push down. After the blades break the insulation, pull the cut piece off to reveal the copper wire underneath it. Then, check the wire to ensure it doesn’t have any strands hanging from it.  You can twist wire strands together to prevent them from hanging. If the wire still appears to be frayed, cut off the damaged portion and strip away more of the insulation. Stray strands may make unintended contact with a piece of equipment and cause electrical damage. Make sure the end of each wire looks neat before putting them into the contactor! Every slot has a noticeable metal screw on the outside of the contactor. The screws will be near the slot openings. Use a screwdriver to turn the screws counterclockwise, opening the slots to prepare them for the wires you need to insert. If you need to close the slots back up, turn the screws clockwise. The screws can be turned clockwise to pin the wires in place once they are plugged into the contactor. Check the opened slots on the contactor to ensure they are secure before turning the power back on.
Summary: Route the colored wires from your home’s electrical circuit. Bring the wires from the device to the contactor. Strip the ends of the wires by 1⁄2 in (1.3 cm). Use a screwdriver to loosen the holding screws on the contactor.

Problem: Article: Your partner won't enjoy the date if it seems thoughtless or impersonal. Consider if he/she wants an involved active date or would rather do something passive, like watch a movie.  For example, if your date dislikes nature, don't plan a hike and a picnic. Or, if he/she works in a coffee shop, avoid planning a date at the coffee shop. Be aware of his/her preferences. Think about what you already know about your partner. Try to remember what you two have talked about together. What does your partner enjoy doing? What does your partner like eating? What does your partner hate? If you're planning on a walk through town, fine, but you should let your date know ahead of time so he/she comes prepared. If you don't want to give away the specifics of the date, just be sure to tell him/her about anything that could impact wardrobe decisions and comfort. For example, if you're taking your date to the zoo during the winter, let your partner know so he/she can dress warmly. Sharing the planning of a first date is a fun way reduce the stress of planning, while getting to know each other a little better. You could decide the first half and your partner could determine the other, or you could decide where to go for a meal and your partner could plan an activity. If the first date goes well, you could continue sharing planning for subsequent dates. Instead of splitting up planning for a single date, take turns planning entire dates.
Summary:
Think about what your date wants.This is important, regardless of whether you barely know him/her or have been friends for a while. Communicate any important details to your date. Consider splitting the planning.
