Q: Add liquid dish soap to warm water, then soak a cloth in the mixture. Lay the cloth over the glue and let it sit for several hours.  You may need to cover the cloth with plastic wrap to keep it moist. Try scraping away the glue again once it softens.
A: Soak the area.

Q: Hold your body upright and stand tall. If you decide to sit, make sure your back is straight so that you will be able to hold the flute in front of your body comfortably. Keep your body relaxed. Hold the long tube end of the flute in a handshake grip with your right hand. Position the flute vertically so that the tubes are parallel to your body. Use your left hand to gently hold the end of the flute with the short tubes.  The pan flute is typically curved. Position the flute’s curve toward your body. Keep the pan flute horizontally aligned with your head. So if your head tilts one way or the other, the flute should also tilt to remain aligned with your head. Keep your arms relaxed as you hold the pan flute. This will allow you to easily move it back and forth so that you can blow into different tubes. Your embouchure is the positioning and shaping of your mouth and lips in order to control your airflow when you play a pan flute. To form your embouchure, first make a slight smile and purse your lips a bit.  Make a small opening between your lips. Position the pan flute against your bottom lip and direct air into the pipe’s tube, just like you would if you blew into a bottle.  Move the bottom of the flute slightly away from your or closer to you to adjust the direction of the air flow into the tube. Adjust the position of the tube’s top higher or lower depending on your mouth and lips to produce a good quality sound.  Tighten up your lips/embouchure when you are playing the higher notes (shorter tubes). Relax your embouchure when you play lower notes (longer tubes).
A: Sit or stand in an upright, relaxed position. Hold the pan flute with both hands. Relax your arms. Form the correct embouchure.

Q: If you keep going round and round in circles of feeling sad, depressed, and bad about yourself due to this regret, it may be time to let it go. You may need to accept that you made a mistake or that you wish things could have gone differently. Instead of getting down on yourself, at some point you must accept the situation and forgive yourself. If you have a hard time letting go of the regret, write a letter to the deceased person. Say the good things about the relationship and also what you wish you could have said or done. Put this letter in a special place or bury it in a special location. Recognize that there may have been many factors which led to this specific regret. For example, given the circumstances, you may have been under incredible stress, financial difficulty, relied on faulty information, or been in a situation in which decision-making was impaired.  Release yourself from undue blame.  Talk to someone who is unbiased to get a different perspective. You can talk to someone not involved, like a friend or a therapist. Say, “Even though this outcome was not what I would have liked, I did what I thought was best at the time and release myself from placing all the blame onto myself.” Resentment can make you a prisoner to your own negative emotions. Allow yourself to accept that you make mistakes and have lapses of judgment. It’s not worth feeling awful everyday over something you cannot change. Instead, learn to forgive yourself and practice different judgment next time. Say to yourself, “I have suffered for the decisions I have made, yet I am willing to forgive myself and move on from this point forward. I allow myself to grow from this experience.”
A: Let go. Release feelings of blame. Forgive yourself.

Q: Use a mirror, record yourself, make bid calls aloud and use your skills in public. If you went to school for auctioneering, they'll get you started on this. Bid calling is an art, as are describing auction items and dealing with customers. Improve your skills by practicing them regularly. Bid calling is obviously the most visible part of the auctioneer's job, but it's only a very small portion of it. While it does matter, you also have to be charismatic, a great marketer, and have good administration skills to boot. A good auctioneer is more than just someone who knows their product and can speak ridiculously fast and still maintain clarity. They're entertaining the entire room! An auctioneer that charms their audience can drive prices up 20%. Don't get the crowd buzzing and the auction is a bust.  If it wasn't clear, you'll be working on commission most of the time. So the more money you get your crowd to pay, the better off you'll be. So you gotta work it! To a certain extent, you'll be coaxing your audience to pay more. People will automatically start to get hesitant as the prices rise -- it's your job to be persuasive and convince them (without them really knowing it) that they're making a good decision by upping the ante. A good auctioneer is often quite classy. You may be working with items that cost a pretty penny and your demeanor should match. Bidders are not "the woman with the orange hat over there" and you don't point at people for bids. You are working with ladies and gentlemen and your hand should always be an open palm. If you're on TV, there will be different protocol for that too -- you'll need to occasionally address your listeners that are just tuning in. Ramp up your charm, be ever-so-tactful, and wear a bright colored tie or top. In addition to all the prep work you'll have to do (working with clients, working with dealers, etc.) and manning the stand at the auction itself, you'll be sorting out every little detail that occurs that day. And there will be loads! For starters, you'll be working for absentee bidders, handling reserve prices (sometimes the owner doesn't want to go too low -- and even then they might get upset), and working the crowd in between showcases. People will come to you with all their questions, so you have to be prepared with all the answers!
A:
Practice bid calling. Become an entertainer. Get the etiquette down. Know it's more work than what it looks like.
