No one will know what kind of person your crush is looking for better than his friends. Get to know them and you'll find out more about him, like where he tends to hang out. On top of that, if they get to know you and are impressed, they're more likely to want to help you with your crush. If the two of you have mutual friends, they are the perfect people to talk to. Think of the following examples when subtly trying to find out more about your crush:  If you want to know where he skates, ask about parks in town: “Where do people usually skate around here? Who goes to that park?” If you want try and know whether your crush is single: “How come he doesn't have a girlfriend/boyfriend?” Ask about their friendship with him: “How did you guys become friends? What do you do together?” If you want to understand your crush better, don't be afraid to learn about skater culture. Like any other culture, skateboarding culture has a set of values, norms and ideals. The best way to find out more is to talk to skateboarders about why they skateboard, and what it brings to them. You can also find many interviews on YouTube, where skateboarders talk about the culture. This can give you a great idea of how your crush thinks. Beyond understanding the culture, you'll want to learn a bit about skateboarding itself. You don't necessarily need to know all the tricks or professional skateboarders by name, but knowing a bit about your crush's passion will give the two of you something to talk about. Simply knowing what an ollie is (jumping with the skateboard), will show that you care about his passion and he'll be impressed when it's time to talk to him.

Curl up and get some sleep immediately following your surgery, and get lots of rest for the next one to two days, depending on your dentist or oral surgeon’s orders. Avoid strenuous activity for at least a week.  If you experience persistent bleeding the day of surgery, keep your head and upper body elevated with several pillows while you’re resting in order to prevent choking. Be careful not to sleep on the extraction site, as it will create heat over the area. If your oral surgeon prescribed or recommended medication, use it as directed. If you were not prescribed medication, you can use ibuprofen or another over-the-counter pain medication. Call your surgeon if you experience severe pain and consult with them about another medication option or dosage. Apply ice to manage pain, swelling, and bruising. Swelling will reach its peak within 2-3 days of surgery, but regularly using ice packs immediately after extraction can help keep it at a minimum. Apply a zip-lock bag of ice or ice pack to your face where surgery occurred. Keep the ice on for 20 minutes, then take it off for 20 minutes. Oozing bleeding from the surgical site is one of the most uncomfortable parts of wisdom tooth removal. Keep gauze in to protect the surgical site and change it out regularly. Firmly bite the gauze to help control bleeding, but don’t bite so hard that it causes any pain.   Keep some sterile gauze on your tooth by biting on it over the extraction site. If bleeding persists, try biting down on a moistened, cool tea bag: tannic acid in the tea will help to clot blood. Avoid excessive or forceful spitting or coughing, as this will dislodge blood clots. Give your dentist or oral surgeon a call if bleeding persists for more than a day. Go for creamy soups, smooth yogurts, custard, smoothies, milkshakes, and other nutrient-rich choices that are easy to drink. Avoid foods and beverages that are too hot or too cold. Also stay away from smoothies or purées that contain strawberries or other fruits with small seeds. These can get stuck in wound sockets.

The more careful you are with your boots, the less they will slouch due to worn-out material. Avoid tugging, pulling, or roughly handling your boots, especially when putting them on and pulling them up. Try to smoothly slip your foot into the boot, instead. Don’t leave your boots lying in your hallway or piled under clothes or other items. Take care of your boots and provide them with their own storage space. Lay them flat in your closet with a piece of cloth in between them. Alternatively, you can hang each boot up using binder clips or boot clips. You can purchase boot shapers to fill out the shape of the boot when storing them upright while they’re not in use. Alternatively, you can stuff your boots with newspaper or rolled-up magazines, or cut pool noodles to fit inside them. This keeps the material from bending at the ankle and creating creases that persist when you’re wearing the boots.
