Q: There’s no way to know how your friend will respond. They might sob, angrily refuse to believe what you’re telling them, or withdraw into a shocked silence. Don’t hold their reaction against them, and don’t feel bad about making them upset. Instead, validate their feelings in the same way that you want them to accept yours.  If they’re sobbing, you might say something like “I know this is hard to deal with, but I want us to help each other through it.” Consider also giving them a hug, or crying with them if you feel like it. If they refuse to believe you, try “Believe me, I wish it wasn’t true, but it is. I’m going to die soon, and I want you to be a part of my life to the end.” If they are stunned and need some time to process the news, allow them to have it. Just sit quietly for a few moments, and if necessary ask if they’d like to continue the conversation later. Some people will want to know the specific details of your condition, which may help them to accept the reality of your situation. Others may want to know what it’s like to know that your death is coming, because they’ll naturally start thinking about how they’d handle the situation. Share as much as you’re comfortable giving them. Most people don’t like talking about death, but this may be an instance in which the two of you can more freely discuss the meaning of both life and death. There’s a good chance your friend will want to do something—anything—to help, but they may have no idea what they can do. If they give a general offer to help, don’t be shy about giving them specific ways they can do so. You might say something like one of the following:  “Well, it is getting hard for me to get out for groceries. Maybe you could pick up a few things for me a couple times a week.” “I’d really like to organize those family photo albums, and I’d love to have a hand with that.” “All I really need is for you to keep calling and visiting and being my best friend.” Sometimes this initial conversation can feel like your last conversation. However, even if your death is likely to occur very soon, don’t worry about making sure the conversation has the gravity of your “last words” with your friend. Instead, focus on your desire to keep your relationship close right up to the end (if that is your wish). Preparing for death does not mean ignoring your life. Focus on making the most of your life and having your friend be a part of it.
A: Accept that they may react in a number of different ways. Encourage them to ask questions and express their feelings. Offer them specific ways they can help, if they ask. Be clear that you aren’t saying goodbye yet.

Problem: Article: Place the softened butter into a mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Then, set a fine-mesh strainer over it and put 2 3/4 cups (340 g) of powdered sugar into it. Gently shake the strainer to sift the powdered sugar onto the butter. It's important to soften the butter before you make the frosting. If the butter is cold, it will make the frosting lumpy. Use a beater or paddle attachment to mix the butter and sugar together. Keep mixing until the powdered sugar is incorporated. If you don't have a hand or stand mixer, you can use a wooden spoon to mix the frosting. The buttercream should be soft and spreadable which makes it easy to use on most baked goods. If you need to make the frosting thicker, beat in about 1/4 cup (30 g) of powdered sugar to get a firmer consistency.  Store leftover buttercream frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you frost a cake with buttercream, you can store it at room temperature unless the cake is filled with a layer of fruit or custard filling.
Summary: Put 1 1/2 cups (340 g) of butter into a bowl and sift the powdered sugar over it. Beat the butter and powdered sugar on low for 30 seconds. Spread the simple buttercream on cupcakes, cake, or cookies.

Q: This allows space for flying and time apart. Although your birds will enjoy each other’s company, they also need time alone. A big cage allows them to be active and spend time away from their partner. This supports your birds’ good health, making them better parents. Each breeding pair that you own will need its own cage. Don’t try to keep them in a cage together, as they’ll be less likely to mate. The grate can be uncomfortable for your birds, and you want them to be cozy in their cage so they’ll mate. Newspaper is a cheap, safe option for a cage liner. Plus, your birds will enjoy tearing it up. Lay a couple of layers of newspaper over the floor of the cage. You need enough perches and swings for both birds to use them at the same time. However, your birds will enjoy having extra perches and swings if the cage allows enough space. Wood is the best material for the perches. Avoid choosing plastic options, as your birds will enjoy chewing on everything in the cage. It's best to choose a side-opening nesting box, which makes it easy to safely access it. The nesting box will have a hole on one side that the female can use to enter the box. She’ll then lay her eggs inside, where they’ll be safe.  The nest mimics how the birds prepare for mating in the wild. You can find a nesting box at a local pet store or online. Choose a dish that’s about 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep and 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter. The eggs will rest inside the dish, which helps keep them in the nest. Then, the chicks will hatch in the dish, which provides a good surface for their legs.  As another option, you can make or purchase a board that fits into the bottom of the nesting box. The board should have a concave dip carved into the center. Make sure that the dish is made from a nontoxic material, such as wood or glass. The wood shavings provide a nesting material for the birds that’s similar to what they like in nature. The female bird will also enjoy chewing on the wood shavings as she gets ready to mate. In the wild, females typically pick up pieces of bark to chew on before they breed. The bedding also needs to go into the concave dish or hole at the bottom of the nest. week. Empty, wash, and refill the feeder and water bottles. Remove the old bedding and wipe down the cage. Replace the bedding with fresh wood chips, then put the feeder and water bottles back into place. Wash and dry any toys kept in the cage. If there are eggs inside the nesting box, don’t change the bedding in the nest until all of the eggs hatch. However, you can still change the bedding in the cage itself.

Choose cage at least 24 in (61 cm) x 16 in (41 cm) x 16 in (41 cm). Cover the grate with newspaper, if there is one. Place 2 or more wooden perches and swings in the cage. Attach a 6 in (15 cm) x 6 in (15 cm) x 10 in (25 cm) nesting box to the side of the cage. Place a concave dish inside the nesting box to prevent splayed legs. Create a soft layer of wood shavings in the nesting box, including the dish.  the cage once a week.
