article: Snails are most active at night, when the soil is wet and inviting. By allowing your beds to dry out slightly, you can make your garden less attractive to them. The only exception to this measure will be when you have thirsty plants like roses or impatiens that need to be watered several times per day. Only give your plants as much water as they need. Soggy soil is particularly inviting to snails, slugs, and other moisture-loving pests. Do a walk-through once a day and pick up any rubbish or refuse you happen to find. Snails often seek shelter underneath metal cans, wooden boards, and similar items. Once they find their way inside, they'll lay eggs and their number will multiply. Likewise, it may be a good idea to get rid of oddly-shaped statues, ornaments, and other garden fixtures where snails might be hiding if you've dealing with a serious infestation. Snail are hermaphrodites, which means even a single critter has the potential to lay dozens of eggs and make your snail problem worse. Some plants are better adapted to surviving snail attacks than others. Examples of resilient species include geraniums, hydrangea, impatiens, rosemary, lavender, begonias, and most ornamental grasses. By contrast, plants like hosta, dahlias, beans, cabbage, and strawberries are among the most common targets of hungry snails. If you keep chickens or ducks, allow them to roam freely in areas most affected by snail activity. These birds will hunt and eat snails and other small creatures that commonly go unseen in your garden. As an added bonus, they'll even convert them into a free fertilizer for you. Consider inviting other wildlife into your garden, if you're not worried about their numbers becoming an issue. Many types of birds, toads, and snakes have been known to make a meal of garden snails.

article: Dry foods are generally cheaper to feed in the long run, have some benefit on dental health due to the "scraping" of plaque off of teeth by the dry kibble and are easier to store due to their dry form. However, dry food isn't as tasty as wet food so some dogs reject them or don't eat as well. Make sure the dog has access to fresh water, as he won't derive any moisture from the food. Canned food are much tastier for dogs to eat and have the added benefit of adding extra moisture to the diet. However, owners that feed canned food have to be vigilant with their dog's teeth as these types of food tend to lead to an increase in plaque and dental tartar build up. Canned food tends to be a bit more expensive than dry foods. You will have the added mess of disposing of the can. Semi-moist foods aren't as prevalent as canned and dry foods. They are a little easier to store and clean up after than canned foods, but liked canned foods they can lead to plaque and tartar build up on the teeth. They can also be more expensive to feed as dry foods. Raw diets are fine for dogs as well, although a bit more time consuming to prepare and store correctly. If you want to feed a raw food diet for your dog, it is absolutely vital to contact an animal nutritionist. Make sure your dog is receiving all the nutrients he or she needs. Dogs do have different nutritional requirements than humans. There are many kinds of foods suitable for humans that should never be fed to your dog, since they are toxic for dogs. These include: Alcohol Avocados Grapes and raisins Chocolate Any food containing the sweetener Xylitol Coffee and tea Fruit pits or apple seeds Garlic and onions Walnuts and macadamia nuts Dough made with yeast The most important factor is that the food is high quality. This means being able to read and understand the label. Most dogs will do just fine on a commercial dog food as long as you remember to read the ingredient list on the can or bag to ensure the food is healthy. These are listed in order of the most prevalent food in the food. Meat should be the number one (and preferably the second) ingredient on the list, followed by a grain. By-products are fine but they should be far down the list. You can always ask your veterinarian for advice in choosing food for your dog.

Once you have decided not to have sex, you will need to set clear boundaries with anyone who might try to pressure you. Setting clear boundaries can demonstrate your assertiveness and help you to avoid situations where you might be pressured into sex. If you do end up in a situation where you are being pressured, then your boundaries can help you to resist the pressure. Some things you can do to set your boundaries include: Identifying your reasons for wanting to abstain from sex. Why do you want to set boundaries about sex? For example, do you want to wait until you fall in love? Do you have concerns about getting pregnant or getting an STD? Or, do you simply not feel comfortable about being sexually active? Affirm your decision. You can increase your confidence in your decision by creating a self-affirmation and stating it out loud. For example, you might say something like, "It's his decision if he is ready to be sexually active, but I have the right to decide what I do with my body. I do not want to have sex yet because of the risk of becoming pregnant or getting a disease. If that bothers him, then that is his problem, not mine." Keep in mind that you may feel some discomfort or other negative emotions about setting this boundary and that is normal. These feelings are only temporary and they will pass. One way to make sure you're never alone with someone who might pressure you to have sex is to go out in groups of friends or on double dates. Pick some friends to hang out with on a regular basis so that you always have them available if someone wants to date you. For example, if someone asks you out and you are not sure if you want to be alone with him yet, then you might say something like, "That sounds fun, but I have plans with Sara on Friday night. Do you want to ask Rick to go to and make this a double date?" If you don't want to drag along all your friends on a date, in order to avoid being one on one you can bring just one person, called a chaperone. This person's presence can keep your date from pressuring you to have sex. This could be a parent, a respected adult, even just a good friend.
