Article: Sometimes, he simply won’t leave you alone. If you’ve tried discouraging him and it simply isn’t working, find a friend to delve into a conversation with or leave with. This tactic works best with a guy friend, as the flirter may assume he's your boyfriend.  If he won’t stop monopolizing the conversation, say, “It was great talking with you, but I really need to catch up with my friend.” Then leave and go to your friend. If possible, let your friend know what is going on so they won’t unknowingly leave you in a bad spot by leaving without you or slipping off to the bathroom at an inopportune time. If you’ve tried discouraging him, but he keeps pretending as if those things didn’t happen, lay it out. You’ve been polite, now it’s time to err on the side of crystal clear, even if it comes off as blunt. In other words, just tell him, "no," and reiterate why you can't be with him.  Give a brief outline of what has been going on. Say something like, “You’ve been asking me on dates and saying suggestive things, and I’ve done my best to not encourage that. I told you I'm not interested in any relationship right now, but you keep trying to get me alone. Please stop. I’m not interested.” Tell him in a public place. If he’s not taking "no" for an answer and you want him to stop, don’t allow yourself to be anywhere alone with him. You definitely want to think of safety first. If the situation is escalating and you are concerned about your safety, loudly say "no," and tell him you want him to leave you alone. Tell your friends what is happening. Walk away, and join your friends.  Don’t take this step lightly. Read the situation and decide whether or not you’ve already made yourself clear in other ways and whether or not you are in danger. Be prepared for the fact that he might play innocent or call you crazy. If you feel your safety is threatened, don't hesitate to call security. If you are in a place that doesn't have security, call the police, then talk to the management. It's important to put your safety first. If the guy is getting hostile or you think he might hurt you, it's important to get out of there and involve other people.

Article: Ice cream made this way doesn't contain egg yolk, which makes it less rich and creamy than ice cream you may be used to. However, it is quick and easy to make, especially if you have a friend or two to help out. Kids often enjoy making this ice cream, since most of the process involves tossing it back and forth or shaking it. . You can purchase pre-crushed ice, or make your own from ice cubes or blocks of ice. Place the ice in a plastic bag and gently, slowly bash the bag with a wooden mallet to break up the ice. Alternatively, use a heavy-duty food processor to break up the ice with brief pulses. Use a large container that can be tightly closed, and that won't easily break when shaken around. You can buy an "ice cream ball" for this purpose, which is sturdy and fun to throw around, but you can easily use a gallon-sized zip lock bag or a large plastic jar instead. The container must be large enough to contain the ice cream mixture as well as the ice. Use an even larger container if you are doubling the recipe. Add 6 tablespoons (90 mL) rock salt directly onto the ice, seal the container, and shake until the salt and ice are mixed. It may seem strange, but the rock salt actually cools the ice down! Ice cream will not freeze in a container of regular ice, but salt provides the colder temperature it needs.  Rock salt is sometimes sold as "ice cream salt." Ordinary table salt can also be used, but the smaller grains may cool the mixture too rapidly, making your ice cream freeze unevenly. Measure out 1 cup (240 mL) milk, 2 tablespoons (30 mL) sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) vanilla extract. Pour all of these ingredients into a quart- or liter-sized zip lock bag.  For a richer ice cream, use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk. If using an ice cream ball, pour this mixture into the compartment of the ball without ice instead. Skip straight to the "shake" step. Hold the bag upright or have an assistant hold it for you. Press as much air as you can out of the bag, starting just above the level of the ingredients and moving up to the opening. Use the zip lock to seal the bag tightly. The more air there is in the bag, the more likely the bag will be to burst open while you make the ice cream. Open another bag of the same size or larger. Place the bag containing the ice cream mixture inside this additional bag, then seal the same way you did the first. Ice cream needs to be shaken during freezing, and using two bags will prevent it from spilling if one of the bags is broken during the shaking. Seal the largest container tightly. It should now contain the double-bagged ice cream mixture as well as the loose ice and rock salt slush. Shake the container vigorously, or if the container is sturdy enough and tightly sealed, toss it back and forth. This movement prevents large ice chunks from forming, and stirs a little air into the ice cream as well to make it less dense. The ice cream may take 5–20 minutes to freeze, depending on the temperature, how vigorously you are shaking, and how hard you prefer your ice cream. It may take longer if you are making a larger batch.  Wrap the container in towels or wear gloves if it gets too cold to handle. If the ice cream isn't ready after 20 minutes, add more ice and salt, or put in the freezer for no more than 5 minutes. Once the ice cream has reached the consistency you enjoy, remove the bag of ice cream from the larger container. Use a dish towel to wipe off the salty water on the outside of the bag, or rinse it briefly under cold water. Now that your ice cream is safe from being mixed with salt, open up the bag and pour it into another container. You can also eat single-serving ice cream made this way straight out of the bag.

Article: The most basic bath salt is epsom salt, which is available at most pharmacies. To use epsom salt to treat hemorrhoids, mix 2 tablespoons (15 milliliters) of epsom salt with 2 tablespoons (15 milliliters) of glycerin. Apply that mixture to a piece of gauze and place it over the affected area. Leave the gauze on for 15 minutes. You can repeat this every 4 to 6 hours. Research suggests that you can absorb the magnesium from bath salts through your skin, restoring your body's magnesium levels and reducing the pain from arthritis. Soak in water heated to 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees celsius) with a handful of bath salt from the Dead Sea dissolved in it. A small amount of epsom salt mixed in water can help alleviate your symptoms if you're suffering from constipation. Mix 1 teaspoon of epsom salt into a glass of water, stirring until the salt dissolves. Drink the solution.
