J, V, and W don’t exist. Well, not really at least. There were 23 letters in the classic Latin alphabet. R is rolled, similar to the trill in Spanish. Y is known as “i Graeca” (“Greek i”) and Z is “zeta. " I can sometimes be pronounced as the English Y sound and Y is pronounced like the French “u.

Do not over-stir the dough. While the dry ingredients should be added gradually, don’t do so little at a time that your dough turns to brick. Aim for adding the dry ingredients in four or five batches. Use coarser sugar for thicker, chewier cookies. When sugar dissolves, it acts as a tenderizer that interferes with dough structure. This increases spreading because finer sugar dissolves more easily than coarser sugar. So if you want your cookies to remain thick and chewy, use coarse sugar (or use fine sugar for the opposite effect)....
For a top, cut the fabric so that it will end about 1 inch (2. 5 cm) below the doll’s waist. For a short dress, cut the fabric so that it will come to the doll’s knees.

Keep mind that it is better for the armholes to be a little too small than too big because you can always make them larger....

Pads should never be flushed down the toilet. They should be wrapped in toilet paper and put in the garbage. Most bathroom stalls have special bins just for pads and tampons. If not, wrap tissue paper around it and throw it away. You should change your pad at least every 3-4 hours. If you’re having a “light" flow, you can probably go a little longer, but if you’re having a “heavy" flow, you’ll want to change your pad more often....
Alcohol removes dirt and sterilizes the glasses. White vinegar will work instead of rubbing alcohol. Use chalkboard paint on the base if you want to keep track of whose glass is whose. Once the glasses are finished, you can write guests’ names in chalk, then erase when the night is over. Go with glitter paint or metallic colors for a playful, party vibe. If you skip this step, the paint could melt and run in the oven....
