| How to Celebrate Your Birthday in Quarantine Posted: 04 Dec 2020 08:00 AM PST Birthdays are all about fun and celebration, which can be pretty hard to come by during the COVID-19 pandemic. Don't worry—there are plenty of ways you can enjoy your special day, even if your options are a little more limited than they usually are. Pick and choose from this birthday list and see what options work best for you! [Edit]Host a virtual birthday party. - Invite your friends and family members to "stop by" at a certain time. Host a call over a video-sharing platform, like Zoom or Skype, and let your loved ones know when they can join the fun. Digital birthday parties are great for people of all ages, and a fun and safe way to stay connected on your special day.[1]
- A virtual happy hour might also be up your alley.
[Edit]Play virtual games with friends. - Create a custom trivia game with your loved ones. Ask your friends and relatives to come up with special questions about you, which will serve as the "trivia." Host a video call on your special day, then go around in a circle and quiz each other with the different trivia questions, and see who comes out the victor.[2]
- Charades are another fun game to play with friends—plus, they're great for birthday parties of all ages!
- Online games are another fun way to bring everyone together! Jackbox Games, Heads Up!, and Minecraft are some great ways to stay connected on your special day.
[Edit]Schedule a drive-by birthday celebration. - Pick a time and empty parking lot where people can meet. Encourage people to park at the lot and line up their cars in a circle, while practicing social distancing. After you arrive, everyone can crank up the car speakers and play "Happy Birthday" for you![3]
- You can also have a line of cars drive by your home on your special day, like a parade.
[Edit]Hold a digital movie night. - Invite your loved ones to marathon some of your favorite movies. Apps like "Netflix Party" let you host and watch movies together, even if everyone's stuck at home. Pick out a fun movie that you can watch while relaxing and kicking back with your friends.[4]
- Unfortunately, "Netflix Party" is limited to movies on Netflix. Amazon Watch Party, Metastream, and Scener are also great options.[5]
[Edit]Get takeout. - Browse a delivery app to see what restaurants are in your area. Pick out whatever food you're craving, and order it to be delivered straight to your door. Order this food around lunch or dinner, so you can enjoy your favorite food as a special birthday meal![6]
[Edit]Decorate your home. - Hang up decorations all over your home so you feel festive. Blow up some balloons and dangle some streamers—use whatever you have lying around, or drop by a party store to pick up some new supplies. If your home looks really festive, you're sure to feel really festive, too.[7]
- If you'd really like to get in the spirit of quarantine, use toilet paper as streamers instead.
- You can also put up a birthday yard sign, so your neighbors know that it's your special day.[8]
[Edit]Get a birthday cake delivered. - Browse online for your dream birthday cake. Look through local bakeries and sweet shops and see what they have available. Schedule for the cake to arrive on your special day, so you don't have to worry about baking a cake from scratch at home.[9]
- You can also whip up your own cake from scratch!
[Edit]Create an online wishlist. - Organize everything you'd like on a wishlist. Use a digital platform like Amazon to collect all of your gift ideas in 1 place. Pick out some gift ideas that are great for being stuck at home, like noise-cancelling headphones, a cozy throw blanket, gift cards, special candles, and more. Send this link to your friends and loved ones, so they all know what you want for your birthday![10]
[Edit]Invite your friends to stop by your home. - Say hi to your friends at a distance. Invite your pals to stop by your home and wave from your front yard or porch. This is a great way to see your loved ones on your special day while still keeping a safe distance![11]
- As a special touch, your friends can drop off gifts and treats on your front porch.[12]
[Edit]Give yourself a homemade spa day. - Relax and unwind with a delightful bath. Browse online for some spa essentials, like bath salts, scented candles, face masks, and good reading material. Draw yourself a warm bath, and give yourself as much time as you need to chill out in the tub.[13]
[Edit]Dress up for your special day. - Wear your favorite outfit even if you aren't going out. Go through your wardrobe and search for your favorite clothes—this might be a special dress, a nice suit, or anything that makes you look and feel your very best. If you're interested, freshen up with a bit of makeup. It's your special day, and you deserve to look the part![14]
[Edit]Dance around your home. - Create a special party playlist you can jam out to. Broadcast the music on your phone or some portable speakers and rock out to the music! You don't need to have an official party to bust out some killer dance moves. If you live with other people, invite them to get in on your dance party, too.[15]
- Go all out for your impromptu dance party by shifting the furniture around.
[Edit]Go to a virtual concert with your friends. - Check online to see what bands are hosting a livestream online. Give your friends a time to log on, and enjoy lots of live music together! There are a lot of different options you can choose from, depending on your interests.[16]
- For instance, groups like the Metropolitan Opera and Royal Albert Hall host several livestream events.
[Edit]Host a video game birthday party. - Invite your gaming friends over for an in-game celebration. Host a party in an open-world game that a lot of your friends play. Invite them over to your "realm" on your special day, so all your avatars can digitally celebrate together![17]
- Games from the Animal Crossing franchise make a big deal out of your birthday. You can even send out party invites using the in-game post office.
- To get in the spirit of things, ask your friends and relatives to send over quarantine-themed birthday cards to your home.[18]
- Treat yourself with a special food basket or gift box! Schedule it so that it arrives at your home on your big day.[19]

| How to Clean Skateboard Wheels Posted: 04 Dec 2020 12:00 AM PST If your skateboard is feeling kind of sticky as you ride it, it might be time to give your wheels a clean. Your wheels and bearings can get blocked up with dirt and rocks, which can lead to a not-so-smooth feel. Luckily, cleaning your wheels and bearings is relatively easy, and only requires some disassembling and a little bit of cleaning solution. Once your bearings and wheels are ridden from built up dirt, you'll be cruising around in no time. - Remove the wheels from the axle using a wrench. Turn the skateboard over so it is resting on the deck, with the wheels facing up. Use a socket wrench to twist and remove the axle nuts on the outer sides of the skateboard wheels, then set them aside.[1]
- Keep all wheel materials (nuts, washers, etc.) together in one place so you can easily find and attach them later. You'll need every piece you take off, so don't lose them!
- Pry the bearings out of the wheels with the truck axle. Grab one wheel and place the center against the metal rod that it was attached to (this is called the truck axle). Use the rod to pop the bearing out of the wheel, kind of like you'd use a bottle opener on a bottle top. Use the same prying technique for all 4 of your wheels, and keep the bearings in one spot so you don't lose track of them.[2]
- Keep the wheel bearings and the wheels separate from each other so they're easier to clean.
- If you can't manage to remove the bearings in this way, try using a screwdriver to pry out the bearings. Simply hold on to the sides of the wheel out in front of you, insert the tip of the screwdriver in the front of the wheel, and pull the screwdriver to the side to release the bearing.
- When you remove the bearings from the wheels, a bearing spacer will fall out from the center of the wheel. Keep this in a safe place so you can reassemble the wheel and bearings later.
- Wipe off the surface of your wheels with a rag to clean off dirt and rocks. Use your fingers to loosen any rocks or gravel, then use your rag to really scrub hard. If there's any super dirty areas that need a lot of scrubbing, grab a toothbrush and use that instead.[3]
- Don't worry if you can't get your wheels sparkly clean just yet—this is just the first step!
- Soak the wheels in soapy water for 10 minutes. Fill a bucket or your sink with about of warm water and of dish soap. Stir the mixture up until it's sudsy, then submerge your wheels and let them sit for about 10 minutes.[4]
- Just soak the wheels, not the bearings! Soaking your bearings in water can make them rust.
- The warm water will help to loosen any stuck-on dirt and grime.
- Wipe down the wheels with a rag or a toothbrush. Take your wheels out of the soapy water and give them a good scrub down. Here's where you can work super hard to make sure they look sparkly and clean.[5]
- Make sure you're wiping down the inside of the wheels as well as the outside. Small rocks and dirt can get trapped in any nook and cranny.
- Dry the wheels off with a clean rag. Grab a separate rag and wipe your wheels off until they're mostly dry. You can set them aside to air dry the rest of the way while you work on your bearings.[6]
- Make sure your wheels are super dry before you reassemble your skateboard so you don't slip and fall while riding.
[Edit]Bearings - Pop the bearing shields off with a razor blade. Position your razor blade in between the bearing shield and the edge of the bearing. Gently push the blade down to pop the shield off the bearing and separate the 2 pieces.[7]
- If a razor blade doesn't work, try a safety pin or a screwdriver instead.
- Be very gentle as you take the shield off! You can damage the thin material if you're too rough.
- Some bearings only have one shield, while others have shields on both sides.
- Pour of solvent into a bowl. To clean your bearings, you can use a cleaning solvent, like rubbing alcohol or mineral spirits. If you'd like something a little less harsh, you can use a liquid citrus cleaner. Pour your solvent of choice into a bowl or plastic container to get it ready for your bearings.[8]
- You can find bearing cleaning kits at most skateboard shops, but they're often more expensive than just buying the solvent yourself.
- If you are using a harsh solvent, put on gloves to protect your skin before you start.
- Soak the bearings in the solution for 5 minutes. Carefully drop all of your bearings into your solution, making sure they're fully submerged. Swirl them around in your container a little bit so all the sides get fully covered, then leave them to soak for about 5 minutes.[9]
- Leaving your bearings to soak for too long can damage them, so make sure you take them out right away.
- Tap each bearing onto a paper towel to get the solvent off. Put on your gloves again and carefully grab all your bearings out of the cleaning solution. One by one, tap the bearings onto a clean paper towel with the exposed side down to get the excess solvent out and dry the bearings off.[10]
- If there's still solvent in the bearings, use a toothbrush to scrub the insides.
- Don't spin the bearings to get the solvent out—this could splash harsh chemicals into your eyes or face.
- Drop 1 to 2 drops of oil into the bearings. You can use skateboard oils, sewing machine oils, or electronic oils. Add 2 to 3 drops to the exposed side of each bearing, then spin it to make sure all the bearing balls are evenly coated. Wipe off any excess with a paper towel to clean up.[11]
- Too much lubricant can clog up the bearing rather than making it move smoothly. When in doubt, the less lubricant the better.
- Do not use thick oils as a lubricant on your bearings. Avoid lubricants like olive oil, vegetable oil, or motor oil, as they can clog up your board.
- Something like WD-40 will lubricate your wheels for a minute or two, but the bearings will quickly dry out.[12]
[Edit]Reassembly - Snap the bearing shields back into place. Grab your bearing shield (remember those thin pieces of rubber?) and use your thumbs to snap it onto the exposed side of your bearing. This shouldn't take much effort, so you can assemble your bearings fairly quickly.[13]
- The shields help trap the lubricant on the inside of the bearing to keep them smooth.
- Insert the bearings back into the wheels. Push one bearing into a wheel, then use your fingers to snap it into place. Turn the wheel over and insert the bearing divider, then snap the other bearing into place.[14]
- This is why it's important to keep all the hardware in one spot!
- Attach the wheels to your truck axle with the axle nut. Slide each wheel onto the truck axle that's attached to your skateboard, then put the axle nut back on the outside of each wheel. Use your socket wrench to tighten the nut in place, then give your wheels a spin![15]
- Be careful not to overtighten the nut. If you can't spin your wheels, loosen it up again with your wrench.
- Your wheels should feel smoother without any sticky grinding as you ride.
- Use a cup to hold all your bolts and small objects in one place.
[Edit]Warnings - Never use bleach on your wheels, as it can dry out the rubber in the wheels and cause them to weaken.
[Edit]Things You'll Need - Socket wrench or skate tool
- Clean rags
- Paper towels
- Solvent
- Bowl
- Dish soap
- Thin lubricant

| How to Make Coconut Bread Posted: 03 Dec 2020 04:00 PM PST Take a tropical break the next time you have tea or breakfast. Make an easy coconut bread that's great for toasting or eating plain. It's full of flaked coconut and has a hint of cinnamon, but not a lot of sugar so it's a great choice for a snack. If you're looking for coconut bread that's moist and cake-like, make a tender coconut bread that has shredded coconut and coconut extract. [Edit]Ingredients [Edit]Simple Coconut Quick Bread - 2 eggs
- of milk
- of vanilla
- 2 1/2 cups (315 g) of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) of salt
- 2 teaspoons (10 g) of baking powder

- 1 cup (200 g) of white sugar
- 1 1/2 cups (140 g) of flaked coconut
- 6 tablespoons (84 g) of melted butter
Makes 1 loaf [Edit]Gluten-Free Coconut Bread - 1 cup (93 g) of unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted
- 1 1/2 cups (240 g) of white rice flour
- 3/4 cup (90 g) of sorghum flour
- 3/4 cup (90 g) of tapioca starch
- 1 1/2 teaspoons (7.5 g) of baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons (7.5 g) of baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon (3.5 g) of kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) of xanthan gum
- 1 1/2 cups (300 g) of sugar
- of unsweetened coconut milk
- of vegetable oil
- of coconut extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (23 g) of unsweetened coconut flakes
Makes 1 loaf [Edit]Moist Coconut Bread with Sweet Glaze - 3 cups (360 g) of all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons (10 g) of baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon (2.5 g) of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon (5 g) of salt
- 2 cups (400 g) of sugar
- of vegetable oil
- 4 eggs, lightly beaten
- of coconut extract
- of buttermilk
- 1 cup (92 g) of shredded coconut
Makes 2 loaves [Edit]Simple Coconut Quick Bread - Preheat the oven to and grease a loaf pan. Get out an loaf pan and spray the inside with nonstick spray. If you don't have spray, lightly spread butter or shortening inside the pan and coat it with flour. Then, tap out the excess flour and set the pan aside.[1]
- If you'd rather make the bread into muffins, grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Mix 2 eggs with milk and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Crack the eggs into a small bowl and pour in of milk and of vanilla. Whisk the wet ingredients until the egg yolks are incorporated.[2]
- For an extra coconut flavor, substitute the same amount of coconut milk for the milk.
- Whisk the flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Get out another mixing bowl and put 2 1/2 cups (315 g) of flour into it. Add 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) of salt, 2 teaspoons (10 g) of baking powder, and 2 teaspoons (4 g) of cinnamon. Then, whisk for about 10 seconds to combine the dry ingredients.[3]
- If you like a heavily spiced bread, add 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) of ground nutmeg.
- To let more of the coconut flavor shine, reduce the cinnamon to 1 teaspoon (2 g).
- Stir sugar and flaked coconut into the dry mixture. Pour 1 cup (200 g) of white sugar into the large mixing bowl and add 1 1/2 cups (140 g) of flaked coconut. Stir until the sugar and coconut are combined.[4]
- If you don't have flaked coconut, it's fine to substitute the same amount of shredded coconut.
- Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir in melted butter. Use the back of a spoon to make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the wet mixture and stir the batter just until the dry ingredients absorb the wet mixture. Then, stir in 6 tablespoons (84 g) of melted butter and stop mixing when the batter is smooth.[5]
- Try not to overmix the coconut bread batter or your bread will be tough.
- Spread the batter in the greased loaf pan. Use a rubber spatula to spoon the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Then, use the back of the spoon or an offset spatula to smooth the top of the batter so it's level.
- If you're filling a muffin tin, divide the batter evenly between the 12 cavities.
- Bake the coconut bread for 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Put the pan in the oven and bake the coconut bread until the edges pull away from the sides of the pan. To test if the bread is done, stick a toothpick or cake tester into the center of the bread. The tester will come out clean if the bread is done.[6]
- If there's still batter sticking to the toothpick or cake tester, bake the bread for another 5 minutes and check it again.
- If you're baking muffins, start checking them after 20 minutes.
- Cool the coconut bread in the pan for 5 minutes. Once the bread is done, wear oven mitts to take it out of the oven. Set the pan on the stove but don't take the bread out of it. Leave the bread to cool for 5 minutes so it's easier to handle and holds its shape.[7]
- Turn the bread onto a wire rack to finish cooling. Set a wire rack on the counter and carefully flip the bread out of the pan onto the rack. Although you can cut the bread while it's still warm, you'll get neater slices if you wait until the bread is completely cooled before you cut it. Serve the coconut bread with butter or dust it with powdered sugar for an extra treat.[8]
- Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
[Edit]Gluten-Free Coconut Bread - Preheat the oven to and line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Get out an loaf pan and cut a piece of parchment paper so it's large enough to cover the bottom and long sides of the pan. Push the paper into the loaf pan and set it aside.[9]
- If you don't have parchment paper, you can spray the inside of the pan with nonstick baking spray.
- Whisk the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Get out a medium-sized mixing bowl and pour in 1 1/2 cups (240 g) of white rice flour, 3/4 cup (90 g) of sorghum flour, and 3/4 cup (90 g) of tapioca starch. Then, whisk in 1 1/2 teaspoons (7.5 g) of baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons (7.5 g) of baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon (3.5 g) of kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) of xanthan gum.[10]
- Xanthan gum is a food additive that acts as a gluten-substitute so your bread rises better. If you can't find it, feel free to skip it since your bread also has baking powder to rise.
- Beat sugar with coconut milk, oil, and coconut extract in a separate bowl. Put 1 1/2 cups (300 g) of sugar into a large mixing bowl and add of unsweetened coconut milk along with of vegetable oil and of coconut extract. Then, beat the wet ingredients with a hand mixer on medium speed for about 4 minutes so the sugar dissolves.[11]
- If you don't have a hand mixer, whisk the mixture by hand for 6 to 8 minutes.
- Beat 4 large eggs into the wet mixture, 1 at a time. Turn off the mixer and crack 1 egg into the bowl with the wet mixture. Beat the mixture for about 30 seconds before you turn off the beater and add another egg. Keep beating in the eggs 1 at a time and mixing for 30 seconds after each.[12]
- Mix in the dry ingredients and beat the batter for 5 minutes. Turn your hand mixer to low and slowly add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Once the dry ingredients are absorbed, turn the mixer to medium speed and beat the batter for 5 minutes.[13]
- Stop and scrape the sides of the bowl once or twice while you're mixing the batter.
- Stir in 1 cup (93 g) of unsweetened shredded coconut. Put the toasted shredded coconut into the batter and stir just until the coconut is incorporated. Don't use the flaked coconut since you'll be using it to garnish the top of the bread.[14]
- Spread the batter in the pan and scatter coconut flakes on top. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and scrape the sides of the bowl to get all of the batter in. Then, sprinkle 1/4 cup (23 g) of unsweetened coconut flakes over the top of the batter.[15]
- If you don't want the coconut bread to have coconut flakes on top, skip this step.
- Bake the coconut bread for 80-95 minutes. Bake the bread for 80 minutes before you check it. To test if it's done, stick a toothpick into the center of the bread. The toothpick should come out clean if the bread's done.[16]
- If the toothpick has batter on it, bake the bread for 5 minutes before you check it again.
- Remove the bread from the pan and cool it on a wire rack. Once your coconut bread is baked, wear oven mitts to take it out of the oven. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully flip it onto a wire rack and let it cool completely before you slice it.[17]
- Put the cooled bread into an airtight container and keep it at room temperature for up to 4 days.
[Edit]Moist Coconut Bread with Sweet Glaze - Preheat the oven to and grease 2 loaf pans. Set 2 loaf pans on the counter and spray the insides with nonstick spray. If you don't want to use nonstick spray, spread a thin layer of butter or shortening inside each pan and coat them with flour. Then, shake out the excess flour and put the pan aside.[18]
- You can use a pan, but you'll need to reduce the cooking time by 10 minutes.
- Mix the sugar, buttermilk, oil, eggs, and coconut extract in a bowl. Get out a big mixing bowl and pour in 2 cups (400 g) of sugar. Add of buttermilk, of vegetable oil, 4 lightly beaten eggs, and of coconut extract. Then, whisk until the eggs are incorporated.[19]
- If you don't have coconut extract, substitute the same amount of vanilla extract.
- Whisk the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Place another large bowl on the counter and put 3 cups (360 g) of all-purpose flour into it. Add 2 teaspoons (10 g) of baking powder, 1⁄2 teaspoon (2.5 g) of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon (5 g) of salt to the bowl. Then, whisk for 30 seconds so the leaveners are really well mixed.[20]
- Check the expiration dates on your baking powder and baking soda. If you accidentally use expired leaveners, your coconut bread won't rise.
- Stir the dry ingredients and coconut into the wet ingredients to make batter. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet mixture. Stop mixing just as soon as the dry ingredients are absorbed. Then, gently stir in 1 cup (92 g) of shredded coconut.[21]
- Divide the batter between the pans. Spoon half of the batter into each greased loaf pan and use the back of the spoon to spread the batter so it's level. If you have a hard time eyeballing this, scoop the batter into the pans with a measuring cup so you can ensure that they're evenly filled.
- Bake the bread for 50 to 60 minutes. Put the loaves in the oven and bake them until they're browned. To test if the bread's done, stick a toothpick into the center of one to see if only a few crumbs stick to it.[22]
- If the toothpick is coated with batter when you pull it out, bake the bread for another 5 minutes before you check it again.
- To store the coconut bread, put it into an airtight container and keep it at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For a fruity coconut bread that's popular in the Caribbean, add 1/4 cup (36 g) of raisins to the batter along with the coconut.[23]
- If your coconut bread looks like it's browning too much, lay a sheet of aluminum foil over the top so you can finish baking the bread.

| How to Fix a Crack in a Water Bottle Posted: 03 Dec 2020 08:00 AM PST Cracked water bottles are a huge pain and can leave you with plenty of unexpected messes to clean up. The best thing to do is simply buy a new one, but if you find yourself in a bind, there are a couple of options. If you're looking for a more long-term solution, apply some silicone sealant to the problem spot. If you're on the market for a quick fix, use waterproof tape instead. Avoid using superglue, since it's not food-safe and isn't likely to work all that well. [Edit]Using Food-Grade Silicone Sealant - Apply a line of food-grade silicone sealant on top of the crack. Search online for a bottle of silicone sealant, which works like a waterproof glue. Before making any purchases, double-check that the sealant is food-grade since you'll be drinking out of the repaired water bottle.[1] Squeeze out a consistent line of sealant along the crack, as though you're gluing both ends of the fissure together.
- Spread the sealant along the entire crack.
- Silicone sealant bottles come pretty small. Depending on the brand, you can get one for less than $10.
- Wait for the sealant to cure completely. Read the sealant label to see how much time the product needs to dry, or cure, completely. Don't pour any water into the bottle until that amount of time has passed.
- You may need to wait several hours before you can use your water bottle again.
- Test out your water bottle and see if it leaks. Fill your water bottle up and tighten the lid. As you did before, flip and shake your bottle around and see if you've successfully repaired it. Hopefully, your water bottle will be fixed and ready to go!
[Edit]Taping as a Temporary Fix - Find exactly where the crack is located. Look along the sides or bottom of your bottle for any obvious cracks or fissures. If you can't find the crack right away, shake the bottle around to see where the source of the leak is.[2]
- Apply a strip of waterproof tape over the crack. Grab a roll of waterproof tape and rip off a strip that's large enough to cover the fissure. Center the tape over the crack in the same way you'd cover a scrape with a bandage. Press along the edges of the tape to ensure that it's in place.[3]
- Alternatively, use plumber's tape instead.[4]
- Check your bottle to see if it's still leaking. Fill your water bottle up with water, then shake it around to see if there are any leaks. If water is still leaking out, you may need to use a bigger strip of tape.
[Edit]Warnings - If your water bottle is severely cracked, then repairs might be more trouble than they're worth. You can find a cheap replacement online, or in any store that sells water bottles and sporting equipment.
