Problem: Article: This is the only way you'll know if they've read your message.  If your outgoing messages are blue, the person can receive iMessages. If outgoing messages are green, the person is using a non-iMessage phone or tablet (usually an Android). You won't be able to see when this person has read your messages. As long as you and your contact both have enabled this feature, you’ll be able to see when you’ve read each others’ messages. If only you have it on, they'll see when you read their messages, but you won't know when they read yours. Here’s how to turn on read receipts:  Open your iPhone’s Settings. Scroll down and tap Messages. Slide the “Send Read Receipts” switch to the On (green) position. iMessages are sent over the internet, so make sure you’re connected to Wi-Fi or your mobile network. If you’re not online, your message will be sent as a regular SMS and you won’t know when it’s been read. It’s a green and white chat bubble icon typically at the bottom of the home screen. Make sure you see “iMessage” in the typing area. This means you’re connected to the internet and the person you’re writing can receive iMessages. When you send an iMessage, you’ll see the word “Delivered” below when the message has been sent. If the recipient has read receipts on, you’ll see “Read” below the message.
Summary: Make sure the person you’re texting is also using iMessages. Turn on read receipts. Connect to the internet. Open Messages. Write or reply to a message. Send the message. Wait for a read receipt.

Problem: Article: If you know for a fact that the guy you like likes you back, that should give you all the confidence in the world. Most people aren't sure at all, or maybe have a hunch. So act confident, because confidence is attractive. It will make a difference. Before you ask him, tell yourself that you already have the hardest part under control: You've gotten him to like you. Now you just have to act on that attraction. This gets easier as time goes on. The hardest part is the first time you tell him; everything after that is a downhill ride. Giving him hints might even cause him to be more confident and act on his attraction and ask you out!   Compliment him about something he does well, but teasingly. This will come off flirty and won't bother him because he won't be insecure about something he's really good at: "If I would have known that you'd single-handedly destroy the other football team, I wouldn't have come. I like a little excitement, okay?!"  Tell him how much you appreciate him. Being a little sarcastic is good, but being sincere is even better: "Hey, thanks for helping me out with that birthday celebration. You make a pretty great friend. Always stay that way."  Pick him up when he's down. He might not show it the same way that other people show it, but try to recognize when he's not feeling his best: "Don't worry about Felix, okay? He's a jerk and he knows it. Don't let it hurt your confidence. You're way better than him anyway." Chances are you're gotten close enough to him that you're experimented a little with touching him in safe places. If you've already done that, great. If you haven't, try some of these little tricks to communicate your affection before you actually come out and say it.  Learn to touch his hand, arm, and shoulder. When you're making a point, reach over and casually touch his hand. When you're reminding him of something or trying to be really serious, touch his arm or the back of his shoulder. It should send shivers down his spine. Hang or rest on his shoulder. Pretend to be bored and rest your head on his shoulder. Or simply rest your hands on his shoulder. Give him a good look in his eyes if he looks back at you.
Summary: Remind yourself how confident you should be. Continue flirting with him. Break the touch barrier, if you haven't already.

Problem: Article: Your melons will be ripe and ready to eat by late summer or early fall. You’ll know your melons are ready for harvest when you can smell the melon through the skin.  Once they’ve been picked from the vine, melons will get softer, but not sweeter. If you don’t eat your melons shortly after harvest, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 12-15 days.
Summary: Harvest your melons.

Problem: Article: It’s different for every dye, so it’s hard to be specific here but most carpet dyes require you to mix them with hot water and a chemical. Mix the dye according to manufacturer's suggestions. You won't want to wear your nice khakis or your favorite dress. The odds are pretty high that you will get some of the dye on your clothing. You'll also want to wear protective eyewear, and maybe gloves. The corner might be a good spot for this, or some part of the carpet that normally rests under the table. Test it and give it a few hours to dry, because the immediate color might not be the same color once it is no longer wet. The manufacturer should have a listed drying time. If you’re happy with the result, you can continue dying your carpet. Proceed with your decision to dye your carpet only if there are no adverse effects to the look or feel of the carpet and you are happy with the color. Start the dye application in the furthest corner of the room and continue working your way towards your exit door so you do not have to step on the wet dye. Many manufacturers want you to spray the dye onto the carpet. This is easy enough, all you'll have to do is take an empty sprayer that you have lying around and pour the dye into it. Be careful not to spill the dye - pouring it into a cup first and then into the sprayer might work better. An empty Windex sprayer or something of that nature will work.  Scrub the dye into the fibers of the carpet after spraying it on. Use a stiff bristled brush and work in a circular motion. Take your time to ensure that all carpet fibers are evenly covered when you look at them from all angles. If you scrub carpet - the fibers will untwist. Raking with a carpet rake in a single direction is the only way to agitate dyes and not harm the fibers. Keep children and animals out of the room and give your carpet ample time to dry. The dye manufacturer should have an estimated drying time, and it’s always safe to wait a little longer after that. Hopefully your carpet will look great!
Summary:
Follow the instructions on the dye package to prepare the dye. Wear the correct clothing. Test the dye on your carpet in an inconspicuous area before beginning the job. Apply the dye to the carpet. Let it dry.
