Q: Nail tips are quite long, so you will probably want to trim them down a little before you shape them. Use clippers or a pair of nail scissors to trim the nail down to your desired length.  Make sure that you cut straight across. This is especially important if you want square tipped nails. If you want almond or stiletto tipped nails, then you can also cut off part of the sides of the nails. Try cutting a little less than you think you will need to cut. Filing your nails will also shorten them slightly, so you may end up with shorter nails than you’d like if you cut too much. . When you have achieve the shape that you want, you can paint your nails as desired. Choose your color or colors and any special designs you want to add. For example, you could try doing a French manicure, tie dye nails, or a try 3D design.
A: Trim the nail. Paint the nails

Q: If you’re having a hard time swallowing, whether it’s food, liquid, or saliva, your uvula might be swollen. Try a few practice swallows to make sure you’re having a hard time and it wasn’t just a larger-than-normal piece of food or too-big drink of something. If you're having a hard time swallowing and breathing, contact your doctor immediately. If your uvula is swollen, you might find yourself choking or gagging even when there isn’t anything in your throat. Because your uvula hangs down in the back of your throat, any swelling in it can make you feel like you’re gagging. This is an especially important symptom to look out for in small kids, who might not be able to tell you how they’re feeling. If you notice that they are drooling more than usual, they might have a swollen uvula and should seek emergency medical help immediately. A swollen uvula is usually caused by a bacterial infection, and those infections usually come with a fever. If you’re having a hard time swallowing and you’re choking or gagging, take your temperature to see if you have a fever. Normal temperatures vary from person to person, but anything more than a degree or two above 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (or 37 degrees celsius) is a fever. If you have a fever, see your doctor immediately. A fever can indicate something much more serious is wrong, and fevers - even slight ones - in children can be very dangerous. If you suspect you might have a swollen uvula, you’ll have to check it in the mirror. Stand in front of a mirror that’s high enough for you to see your whole face or hold a hand mirror up. Open your mouth as wide as you can and look at your uvula – the drop shaped piece of skin in the back of your throat. If it looks red or swollen, you should see a doctor.
A: Check for difficulty swallowing. Notice if there’s choking or gagging. Look for drooling. Take your temperature. Look for a redness or swelling.

Q: Ensure that the pull cord is fully engaged so there is no slack. Make sure they are tight, but also even. You want them to line up perfectly for a perfect cut. The band or clamp should be on the inside of wherever you're making your cut. This is especially helpful if you are working with wood or faux wood blinds. This will be right in line with your newly cut headrail. Use a straight edge to ensure they are lined up nicely and draw a line to cut with. Once you've created your line, slide the slats away from the headrail, if possible. For plastic blinds, you might even be able to use a powerful set of sheers. If not, trim individual elements as needed to ensure a consistent width. Use some sandpaper to clean off the edges of the blinds.
A: Line up the blind slats and the bottom rail evenly. Secure the ends of the slats with rubber bands or a clamp. Cover the ends of the slats with masking tape to prevent chipping or splintering. Measure and mark the appropriate width. Ensure that the headrail is not in the way of the saw blade by sliding all of the slats over to one side. Cut the blind slats and bottom rail using a circular saw or table saw. Confirm that all slats, the headrail, and the bottom rail are cut at the same length.

Q: If you live in a cold weather area and you are leaving during a time when inclement weather is a possibility, you want to make sure your pipes are well insulated. Frozen pipes can cause significant damage to your home, and if no one is there to check them after cold weather it may go unnoticed until you return.  Go into areas where pipes are at a greater risk of freezing, like the attic and the basement, and check their insulation. Consider hiring a plumber to inspect your pipes if you are worried about their insulation.  A neighbor that is checking up on your house should test the faucets while you’re away. If there is no water coming from the faucets, your pipes may be frozen. Ask them to contact you immediately if this happens while you’re away. Before you leave, unplug the appliances in your home that are non-essential, like your microwave, a stereo, a coffeemaker, and lamps you won’t leave on.  This protects your home in the event of a power surge or an electrical fire. This is also an energy efficient way to reduce your electrical consumption while you’re away. Before you leave, check that each door and window are securely locked. Having locks installed will do you no good if they are not locked while you are gone! Go through every room of your home and apartment and check that each window and entry door is secure. It is also helpful do a perimeter of your house from the outside. Look for any window screens that look loose or unsecured. This is a good way to keep your electricity and natural gas costs low while you’re away. Adjust the temperature on the thermostat and turn down the temperature on your water heater.  You don’t want to turn your thermostat completely off. Depending on your area’s climate, 55 degrees is a good limit for the winter and 80 degrees for the summer. You can also consider monitoring your heat from afar. The most cost-effective way to monitor your heat while you are away is to install a wireless thermostat that you can monitor and program from your mobile phone or device while you are on vacation. Garage doors are an easy way for intruders to enter your home. Manual garage doors can be secured with a clamp or padlock to prevent them from being opened. Turn off your automatic garage door opener if you have one. This will prevent someone with a universal remote from opening the door while you’re away.
A:
Check your pipes. Unplug non-essential appliances. Check all locks. Turn down the temperature. Secure your garage door.
