Article: Use the tape measure running down the edge of the tile cutter to line up the tile where you need to make the cut. Vinyl cutters can typically be rented from hardware stores so you don’t have to buy one for a single job. Call your local store to see if this is an option for you. Twist the screws on either side of the top of the cutter to raise or lower the blade so that the tile will fit neatly under it. The blade doesn’t need to touch the tile at this point, as moving the handle will lower the blade. Firmly move the handle from the upright position down toward the base of the cutter. You can do this step quickly or slowly, just make sure to press the handle all the way to the lowered position so that the blade cuts through the entire tile. Move both pieces of cut tile away from the cutter. Raise the handle if you have another piece to cut, then repeat the process.

Place your tile in the vinyl cutter. Adjust the depth of the blade by turning the screws. Press the handle down. Remove the tile from the cutter.

Tobacco and the ingredients added to cigarettes can cause you to urinate more often, make you feel like you urgently need to urinate, and increase your risk of bladder cancer.

Talk with your doctor about using a cessation program. While some people can quit smoking easily, you might need to use therapy or a nicotine-reduction aid to help you quit. You can strengthen the muscles of your bladder that control urination. Men and women should do at least three sets of 10 Kegel cycles every day. Both men and women should identify the muscles used in emptying the bladder. To do this, stop the flow of urine midstream. Once you identify those muscles, start doing Kegels with an empty bladder.  Women should: lie down, squeeze and hold the muscles for a count of five. Relax for another count of five. Repeat this 10 times for a complete cycle. Men should: lie down with knees bent and spread apart. Squeeze and hold the muscles for a count of five. Relax for another count of five and repeat this 10 times for a complete cycle. With time, aim for 10 seconds of tightening and 10 seconds of relaxing between contractions. You also do not have to lie down to perform Kegel exercises once you get the hang of it. You can do them pretty much anytime, anywhere — in the car while sitting in traffic, while sitting at your desk at work, etc. Do not to flex the muscles in your abdomen, thighs, or buttocks.

Frequent urination can prevent infection and keep the bladder muscles from weakening. Don't wait to use the bathroom until it becomes an urgent matter. You might need to schedule bathroom breaks if you find yourself too busy or to simply get in the habit of urinating frequently.
