Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Remain calm. Use non-verbal cues to get his attention. Acknowledge and laugh it off.

Answer: It will do neither of you any good to get angry right away. It is likely to make him more defensive. At that point, he may start blaming you for whatever arguing you do next, rather than considering ways to change it. Sometimes your husband is only momentarily distracted by what he sees. A gentle reminder that you are still there, like touching his arm, can snap his attention back to you. It can also be a subtle way to get back his attention while not openly stating that you saw him looking. Just because your husband is looking at a pretty girl doesn’t mean he doesn’t find you attractive. Saying so out loud to him lets your husband know that you saw him, but that you still want him talking to you. A friendly reminder like this can remind him of what’s important, while also having a little bit of fun.  Something like, “That girls looks good in that dress, doesn’t she?” is a good way to acknowledge what is happening and draw your husband’s attention back to you. It is okay to acknowledge that some people are just really good looking, or dressed well. Openly communicating about anything is the sign of a healthy relationship, and your ability to speak positively about another woman’s attractiveness will help him feel more comfortable with you.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Sand any rough patches on the wood. Choose between a gloss or matte mod podge formula. Press the paper down against the wood. Let the mod podge dry for 15 minutes. Apply 2 thin coats of mod podge over the paper if you want an extra shine.

Answer: If the piece of wood has any splinters or other rough patches, sand them down with medium-grit sandpaper. Then wipe the wood down with a tack cloth to remove any sawdust. If you don't have a tack cloth, a damp cloth or paper towel will work as well. Mod podge is a thick glue, sealer, and finisher that's very popular for arts and crafts projects like this. To mod podge paper to wood, you have a choice between a gloss or matte formula. Both are effective, but the only difference is that a gloss finish will give a shine to your finished product. If you don't want that, choose a matte formula. Both mod podge types are available at crafts stores or online. After applying the mod podge, take the paper and line it up with the wood. Then press it down in the position you want it on the wood. From there, run your palm across the paper to press it against the wood and work out air bubbles. Leave the project in a safe place where it won't get knocked over. After 15 minutes, you can move the project to a new area or apply a layer of finish. Leave the piece flat so the paper doesn't slip. If you'd like, apply more mod podge over the paper for a shiny finish. Dip the brush back into the mod podge and paint a thin, clear layer on the paper. Wait 15 minutes and apply a second coat. Once the mod podge dries, the project is complete.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Identify your  boundaries. Make a list of the things your narcissist does that cross the line. Voice your boundaries with confidence. Enforce consequences as needed. Expect pushback, but stand firm. Know how to  identify a narcissist.

Answer: If you want to live with them, you can't realistically micromanage everything the narcissist does or says. You also can't just let them treat you however they please. So, where's your middle ground? Figure out what narcissistic behavior you can't tolerate.  For example, you may be able to tolerate them dominating conversations, but you are not able to accept when they insult you. Narcissists are infamous for walking over people and abusing their goodwill, so you need to know your limits. Once you've identified your boundaries, make a list of the situations in which the narcissist tends to violate them. By writing this out, you will know which contexts you need to be wary of.  For instance, the  narcissist may be more likely to manipulate you in front of a group. Noticing this pattern can help you learn which scenarios to be on guard against. It also helps you figure out how to phrase your boundaries. Now that you know what you can not tolerate, communicate those boundaries when the offensive behavior happens. You might say, “I can see that you're angry, but I will not tolerate insults. If you continue to insult me, I will leave.” State your boundaries with confidence, lifting your chin, making eye contact, and keeping your voice strong and steady. That way, the narcissist knows you're serious. Narcissists will cross every line you make, so it's important that you actually follow through with consequences. If you've said you'll end the conversation, disengage. If you've threatened to leave, do so.  Setting consequences doesn't have to be the end of the relationship, you can tell the narcissist “I'll be happy to continue talking when you are able to communicate without insults.” Keep in mind that enforcing consequences may not cause the narcissist to change their behavior. More than likely, the narcissist will still test your boundaries, no matter how strongly you set them. Stand firm despite any pushback.  For example, the narcissist may insult you anyway just to see if you will actually do anything about it. If this happens, you must enforce the consequences to show them you mean what you say. If you waiver on setting boundaries, the narcissist won't respect you. True narcissists think highly of themselves, but they are also entitled. They believe they deserve attention and admiration and may not care who they hurt to get it. They cannot tolerate criticism, but may regularly belittle or demean others to make themselves look better,  Being a little self-obsessed or high in confidence is common, but these traits are different from full-blown narcissism. Pay attention to who they spend their time with. Narcissists tend to be in relationships with people who won't speak up and stand up for themselves.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Dust with a feather duster or dry cloth. Vacuum with a brush attachment. Use a soft brush.

Answer:
Use a microfiber duster, soft cloth, or feather duster to remove any dust or dirt that has accumulated on the surface. Try a duster with small nubs, feathers, or texture that will help get into the small cracks of the wicker weave. Use a vacuum with a brush attachment on the hose to gently remove dust from on and inside the weave of your wicker.  Make sure the vacuum is at a low suction setting to avoid damage, and brush it gently across the surface of the wicker. For larger dirt, dust, or other objects stuck in the wicker, try using a pair of tweezers or needle-nose pliers to remove it. Remove dust and dirt from between the weave of your wicker by sweeping a cleaning brush gently across the surface.  Try a paintbrush or even a toothbrush for smaller, hard-to-reach areas.  Make sure to use any brush lightly, so as not to disrupt or dislodge any of the wicker. Avoid steel wool or any brush with stiff bristles, as these can damage natural wicker or remove lacquer, paint, or weatherproofing from treated wicker.
