Q: The first step to treating your flea-infested pet is to give it a bath. You can take your pet to the vet to get a chemical bath, but if you'd prefer to address the problem with a natural approach, try the following flea bath solutions:  Make a rosemary dip. Cover 2 1/2 cups of fresh rosemary sprigs with water and boil for 1/2 hour. Add the rosemary water to a gallon of warm water. While the water is still warm, pour it over your pet. Use soapy water. It may also be effective to use a solution of water mixed with a gentle foaming soap. Bathe your cat or dog carefully using warm water. The dip solutions will have killed some of the fleas, but you still need to remove the eggs. Purchase a flea comb from your pet store and use it to carefully comb your pet's fur to remove all traces of fleas. Fleas are repelled by a few natural scents and oils that you can apply directly to your dog. Cats, on the other hand, can be harmed by certain oils, so avoid treating your cat unless a certain substance has been recommended by the vet. Here are a few options for treating your pet:  Lavender essential oil. Rub some on your dog's neck and back. This is said to both kill and repel fleas. Eucalyptus oil. Make a spray by mixing 1 cup of water and 5 drops of oil, then spray your dog thoroughly to repel fleas. Do not use this treatment on cats. In all likelihood, you'll have to dip, comb, and treat your pet several times before the battle is over. Keep an eye on your pet for signs of more fleas, and plan to dip your dog or cat once every week or so to kill the fleas that hatch over time.
A: Give your pet a natural flea bath. Use a flea comb after the bath. Treat your pet with a natural flea repellant. Repeat until the fleas are gone.

Q: Haters you run into online can sometimes be even more persistent than the ones you see every day. However, remember that their motivations are usually the same: they're looking for a reaction from you. Luckily there are many ways of shutting down cyberbullies.  Block harassers. Most online platforms allow you to block communication from certain users. Use this feature to keep your hater from contacting you. On many forums, this feature will even hide his or her public posts from view to keep them from ruining your day. Check the rules of the game or website. Most prohibit trolling, threats, and other inflammatory communications. Instead of responding to such attacks, report them to a moderator. Don't use your real name outside of Facebook and professional websites. This is especially important if you have a unique name that can easily tracked through a search engine. Use a nickname when playing games and posting on forums. Consider using different nicknames to keep dedicated trolls from following you to multiple websites.  Always remember that anything you put on the Internet can potentially be accessed forever. Even if you think a forum is private or you delete something, a hater can easily download or screenshot it for later use. Think before you post. Especially if you are a minor, be extremely careful what type of information you give out online. Don't post things that could tip a stalker off to your home address or typical daily schedule. If a hater goes from petty insults to direct threats, then simply ignoring them may not be enough. If this happens to you, tell someone you trust. If you're a minor, be sure to tell a parent or guardian. Don't delete anything. Although you may be tempted to make these hurtful words disappear, it's better keep them. Save all emails, messages, and chat logs. Certain types of cyberbullying are illegal. If things escalate to where authorities need to get involved, you will need to have proof of what happened. If you run a business, you are likely to get some negative reviews online. The anonymity of the Internet can encourage disgruntled people to speak much more harshly than they would to your face. Don't let their words destroy your confidence, but do consider them carefully. Just because something is said in a negative way doesn't mean it's wrong. It's better to think of this type of "hater" as a harsh critic instead. The same thing goes if you are a writer or artist and post your work online. Nasty comments like these are distinct from harassment and should be dealt with very differently.  Try reaching out to critics with personalized comments. Be empathetic, logical, and polite. Offer solutions. Try not to respond out of anger with poorly-thought-out words.  Consider not engaging at all. It's hard to please everyone, and it's hard to meaningfully connect with someone over a comment board. This is especially true when a person has a habit of making hateful remarks. This is the nature of having an online presence. Some people may hate you for the very things that others love.
A: Don't respond to trolls. Protect your privacy. Tell someone if you feel threatened. Take criticism gracefully.

Q: Show confidence in who you are, and that you have many good things to offer others.  Avoid being overly confident by being kind and appreciative of others.  Avoid bragging about yourself, or making the conversation all about you when talking to a girl. For example, let's say you just met a girl, and she asks about what work you do.  Maybe you want to brag about how much money you make.  While this may seem like a good way to impress a girl, it's important to be humble, and instead focus more on what you enjoy about your work. Avoid being hard or down about yourself.  Try to focus the conversation on things that you enjoy doing, rather than what makes you annoyed or unhappy.  Avoid making the conversations intense or morbid. Show that you can be friendly and kind to others, not just to the girl you’re talking to.  Learn to be more comfortable around acquaintances or people you don’t know by asking questions about their interests. Avoid making her feel dumb, uninteresting, or rude.  Be thoughtful in what you say and how you say it.  If you think that what you say may come out wrong, or seem hurtful, avoid blurting it out.  Think before you speak.  Take a few seconds to process what you’ll say.  Imagine whether your words could come off as rude, cold, or unfeeling if you were in the girl’s shoes. Remember that each person is different.  One girl may react in one way, and another girl might react differently.  Be prepared for the possibility that what you say may not work out as well as you thought. Be supportive when someone is feeling down, frustrated, or confused.  Showing empathy and concern is a step towards a better relationship.  Offer your help in some way.  For example, if she’s had a bad day and she’s carrying lots of stuff, offer to help with carrying some of the items. Avoid trying to quickly find solutions to her problems. She may just want to have emotional support, rather than advice on what to do. Offer hugs to help console her.  If she’s very sad or tearful, be welcoming, but make sure that it’s appropriate.  Ask for her permission, such as, “I’m sorry about what you’re going through.  Do you need a hug?” Treat her as you would like to be treated—with kindness and sincerity.
A:
Be confident but humble. Be considerate of her feelings. Show your support when she's having a tough time.
