INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are solvents made for this specific purpose, but you could try household solvents such as nail polish remover, rubbing alcohol, or an adhesive remover such as Goo Gone. Putting the item in the dryer on high heat for a few minutes will heat the adhesive and possibly loosen it a little. Wash the garment alone, either by hand or in the washing machine.  Washing it with other garments may cause the solvent to damage other items of clothing.  Be sure to wash the garment well, using extra detergent, before wearing to avoid skin contact with the solvent.

SUMMARY: Purchase a chemical solvent made for removing lettering. Place your garment in the dryer. Wash the garment by itself.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you are trying to come across as the strong silent type, there is a risk that people will interpret your silence in ways you haven’t foreseen. You might be thought of as someone who is arrogant or judgemental of others. People might think that you are trying to maintain power over others by not talking. They might think you are withholding and refusing to engage with others as equals. Being a strong and silent type is not about just ignoring everybody and being distant and disinterested. If you want to project an image of a strong person, who is in control of his emotions, and has good self-confidence, you should still visibly pay attention to those around you. You can show that you are listening and interested in what is going on around you by using positive body language. Don’t fold your arms over your chest. This suggests that you are closed off and separating yourself from others. Stay attentive and maintain eye contact with people in the group. Don’t turn away from people.  If you learn about body language signals, you will also be able to identify these in other people. Remember that body language is not an exact science. Being the strong and silent type can help you to take control of your emotions and project a confident image, but it can also make it harder for you to engage with others. Being strong and silent, for men in particular, is associated with an unwillingness to talk to somebody when you are having a difficult time.  Don’t neglect your relationships, and try to have a balanced approach. Don’t mistake feeling alone, isolated or disconnected with strength and independence. Allowing yourself to have emotions will help make you stronger. Don’t try to live up to an image of an unflappable strong and silent type. Talk to somebody you can trust if you feel depressed.

SUMMARY: Be aware of the negative responses to silence. Pay attention to others. Use body language to show that you are listening. Don’t become too withdrawn.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Set the oven to bake and begin preheating it to 375 degrees. It is recommended that you use a lower temperature when preparing black pudding in the oven to keep it from burning. Black pudding is prone to cooking at inconsistent rate because of the heating differences in its components. Cut the pudding into half-inch-thick slices. Nick the casing along the outer edge of each slice and peel back the skin. Slice the pudding thick if it is to serve as a main course. Thinner slices can be chopped or crumbled after they’re cooked and added to other dishes. Spray a large pan or baking sheet with oil. Lay out the slices on the baking sheet an even distance apart. Place the baking sheet in the oven on the center rack. The pudding should remain in the oven for around 10-20 minutes, depending on thickness, or until the outside has begun to crisp. Take a peek at the pudding’s progress after it has been baking for several minutes to make sure is isn’t getting too done. The circulating heat of the oven will cook the pudding more evenly than frying.  Turn the pudding slices at the halfway mark to get them crisp and caramelized on both sides. Preparing black pudding in the oven can be a time-saving tactic if you’re also making other dishes and don’t have time to watch a frying pan.

SUMMARY: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Slice the black pudding and remove the skin. Arrange the pudding slices on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-20 minutes.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you sent a message to someone that makes you feel embarrassed but is not hurtful to anyone, know that the worst is over. A random message sent to the wrong person might be embarrassing, but it won’t kill you. Embarrassment and anxiety manifest in many physical ways. You may feel lightheaded, weak, have a stomach cramp, or a headache. Take deep breaths, do a little stretching, and make sure you stay hydrated. As time passes, these symptoms will fade, along with your embarrassment. If the issue is the result of a group message gone awry, staying a member of the group may only make the situation worse. If a conversation gets heated or inappropriate, it's best to leave it before sending a message you might later regret.  Click the Messages icon at the top right of any Facebook page, (or launch Messenger if you’re using a mobile device.) Open the group conversation you want to leave. Click the wheel icon (desktop) or the arrow icon (Messenger) at the top right corner of the message. Select “Leave Conversation” (on all platform). A notification will be sent to the others that you have left the conversation, and you won't receive any further messages. Having to look at something hurtful over and over again isn’t good for anyone. If you wince in pain every time you see the harmful message in your inbox, you can archive the message. This won’t delete it, but it’ll file it away so it’s no longer in your face. You’ll be able to find it at any time by searching for the recipient’s name.  Open your inbox by clicking the Messages icon at the top right of any Facebook page, or launch Messenger on your mobile device. If you’re using the desktop version of Facebook, click the X next to the conversation you want to archive. In Facebook Messenger for mobile devices, swipe left on the message and select “Archive.” If the person to whom you wrongfully sent a message responds expressing sadness, embarrassment, or anger, respond with a brief message that makes them feel seen, heard, and understood. Some examples:  If the person responding says that they are very angry, say, “I hear that you are angry, and I definitely understand why.” If a person says they are embarrassed, say, “I can understand why you would feel embarrassed. I would also feel embarrassed if someone did to me what I did to you.” If they say they are devastated, say, “I understand and accept that my actions have been upsetting to you. That’s totally valid.” Receiving an angry response from someone you upset won’t feel good, but it’s a part of their process. However, abusive language and threats of violence are never okay, even when you’ve upset someone. Report any hate speech or threats of violence to Facebook.

SUMMARY:
Forgive yourself. Take care of your physical needs. Leave a group conversation or thread. Archive messages you don’t want to see. Validate the recipient’s feelings. Know your limits.
