Summarize the following:
If you do not want to confront the person about their lack of thanks, you may need to work on accepting the situation as it is. Keep in mind the person’s lack of thanks may have nothing to do with you or with your gift. Sometimes people do not say “thank you” for their own personal reasons and you are not responsible for their actions.  For example, perhaps the person has poor interactional skills and does not know how to say “thank you” properly. Or maybe the person feels embarrassed by receiving a gift and does not feel comfortable saying “thank you.” Think about the person's character and personality. Consider if they are just not comfortable saying “thank you” and try to accept that you cannot control their actions or their preferences. You can also try to take a more generous stance on not receiving a thank you by seeing it as a selfless act. Giving to others without expectation of reciprocation can help you build empathy for others. It can also make giving gifts more enjoyable, as you are doing it only for the other person’s enjoyment and not just so you can receive thanks or praise. Giving without expectation can also be useful for building a reputation for being generous and thoughtful with no strings attached. Your friends and colleagues may come to see you as someone who gives freely without expectation, a quality to be admired. Try not to get too hung up on squeezing a thank you out of the person or forcing them to show appreciation. Work on moving on from the issue so you do not let it cloud your day or get you down. Though the person may not have said “thank you,” you will likely receiving thanks and praise from other people you give gifts to. Do not let one person spoil your entire outlook on gift giving. For example, you may tell yourself to let go of the issue and take a few deep breaths to release it and move on. You may then focus instead on the people who did say thank you to you for your gift.

summary: Keep in mind the lack of thanks may have nothing to do with you. Remember that giving without expectation can be beneficial. Try to move on from the issue.

Scoop enough ice into a 16 oz (500 ml) drinking glass to fill it roughly halfway. Consider using crushed ice or similarly small chunks of ice. They tend to work better and look better than large ice cubes. Pour 2 to 4 Tbsp (30 to 60 ml) of flavored beverage syrup into the glass of ice. You can use commercial or homemade syrup.  If you prefer a milder flavor, add 2 Tbsp (30 ml) of syrup. For a stronger flavor, use 3 or 4 Tbsp (45 or 60 ml). When in doubt, start with a smaller amount and add more later. Flavors like vanilla, raspberry, peach, and hazelnut are popular, but you can use any flavored syrup you want. Commercial syrups come in a wide variety of flavors. You can even combine flavors. For example, mix equal parts raspberry syrup and almond syrup for a raspberry-almond blend.  Combine equal parts banana syrup and Irish cream syrup to create a banana cream pie Italian soda. Create "tiger's blood" Italian soda by combining equal parts strawberry syrup and coconut syrup. Add the club soda to the glass, filling it to the top. Give the contents of the glass a quick stir with a spoon. Drink the Italian soda immediately, before the ice melts.  Only stir the contents briefly. If you stir the drink too much, it could lose its carbonation. Taste the Italian soda. If you would prefer a stronger flavor, add a little more syrup and stir it again. Garnish the drink as desired. You can use slices of fruit, leaves of fresh mint, or whipped cream.

summary: Fill a tall glass with ice. Add the syrup. Fill the glass with club soda. Enjoy.

Go over each side of the wheel. Look along the rims. Confirm that the tires are evenly placed over the rims. Adjust if necessary. First, find their recommended air pressure, which should appear on the tire itself. Then remove their caps and fasten your bike bump to the valve. Inflate them slowly so you don’t go over the recommended air pressure and burst your tire by accident. Once the tires are inflated, give them a spin. Make sure they’re still seated evenly over the rims once they come to a stop. If not, release the air, readjust the tires, and repeat until they’re in the proper position once inflated. Replace the valve cap when you’re all done. Center the wheel evenly between its fork and place it into the front fork’s drop outs. Open the brake to do so if necessary. Tighten all bolts. As you do, tighten each just a little bit at a time, move on to the others and tighten them just as much, and repeat until you’re all done. Then double-check that the wheel is still centered between the fork.   Many bikes have a quick release on the front wheel, which allows for easy installation and removal without tools. With the quick release lever open, slip the wheel onto the dropouts. Tighten the nut by hand until you need to use a bit of force to close the lever (enough to leave an imprint of the lever on your hand).  Instructions for this step possibly vary the most between designs. Refer to your owner’s manual for precise steps for your specific wheel.
summary: Make sure each tire is mounted correctly on its rim. Inflate the tires. Recheck how the tires are seated on the rims. Attach the front wheel.
