Know that you will have to interact with each other, probably a lot. Break-ups get even more complicated when children are involved. More people's emotions are at stake, and you cannot simply avoid your ex as you might wish to. Researchers believe that co-parenting is best for children. Co-parenting involves sharing both time and decision-making, which requires maintaining open and frequent communication with your ex. If it is too difficult to communicate openly and directly, consider passing a notebook back and forth that includes any important information about your children's time with you. As you make these arrangements, try to maintain amicability toward your ex. Shouting, name-calling, and other forms of conflict can negatively affect your children and undermine their relationship with their other parent. You: John, I know this is difficult, but I need you to tell me what time you will be picking up the kids. Him: Stop nagging. I'll pick them up after work. You: I understand that this sounds like nagging to you, but I have things I need to do tonight. Him: Fine, I'll pick them up at six. Take whatever action is required to protect yourself and your children.

One-sentence summary -- Be open, direct, and communicative with your ex. Be respectful. Do not try to interact with a violent or otherwise abusive ex.

Q: Because the torch will get extremely hot, you'll need the extra length the pliers provide to keep your hand safely away from the heat. Keep a firm grip on the plug, but don't squeeze so hard that you risk damaging the spark plug. It only needs to sit in the pliers as a handle extension. If you have a bench vice, that will work in place of pliers. Turn the knob on your gas or propane torch to allow gas to flow, then either hit the ignition button or place an ignition source in front of the nozzle. The torch will then light up and begin burning. You may choose to wear gloves just to give your hands a bit more heat protection. Turn the torch all the way up so it is producing a blue flame. The torch will burn the carbon and debris off of the spark plug, and because the plug is designed to be inside the engine when it ignites, it will survive the heat without issue. Hold the plug in the flame, rotating it from side to side, until the end of the plug and the electrode are glowing red hot. Depending on how hot your torch is, this may take several minutes. Be extremely careful not to allow the flame from the torch to reach anything else in your work area. After the plug gets hot enough to burn away the carbon, it will need to cool for a few minutes before you can work with it. Be extremely careful; the spark plug will return to normal colors long before it is cool enough to touch. To be safe, give each plug at least 5 minutes to cool before attempting to reinstall it. Once the spark plug is cool, it will be clean enough to reinstall. Once the spark plug is cool enough to reinstall, put it back in, reconnect the spark plug wire, and move on to the next spark plug. Continue to repeat these steps for each plug until they are all clean. It is important that you clean each spark plug so that some cylinders don't burn more efficiently than others.
A: Grip the spark with pliers on the end the wire connects to. Put on gloves and ignite your torch. Hold the end of the spark plug in the flame until it turns red. Let the plug cool and do not touch it with your fingers. Repeat the process for each spark plug.

Article: You want this picture to light up and glow so think about ways the sun might hit the dandelion to make it really sparkle. Use a small pair of scissors to remove any hanging canvass in the event you have hanging pieces. Use duct tape to secure the strand to the canvas. Secure the light plug toward the bottom of the painting with duct tape. Make sure it's positioned closest to the nearest outlet. Since you are hanging three consecutive canvasses you'll want to make sure they are all level and spaced evenly. Use a level and a ruler to mark hanging positions. Nail picture hangers to the wall and hang the canvasses. Make adjustments as necessary as sometimes you may see gaps or the paintings may not appear to be level. Add a white extension cord if necessary to plug in your light strand. Consider obtaining a cord cover from the local hardware store to hide the hanging extension cord.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Stab small holes around the dandelion and in the middle of the flying fuzz and seeds. Lay the string of lights behind the canvasses and match up lights with holes. Hang canvasses. Light at night! Finished.

Article: If your area experiences a period of drought, water the soil lightly to help the tree survive. Add enough water to moisten the soil about 3in (7.6cm) deep. You can test the soil by pushing your finger into it. If you can't push down to the roots easily, the soil needs water. An irrigation system works well for greenhouse growing. Give the guanabana plenty of fertilizer every year to help it grow and produce fruit. You can add fertilizer a month after planting or around March. Apply a second dose in early September. You can use a balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer from your gardening center, which has equal parts phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium. Apply 14lb (0.11kg) of fertilizer in the first year, 12lb (0.23kg) in the second year, and 112lb (0.68kg) every year after that. Check the mulch layer before you add new fertilizer. Add a new layer of an organic material, such as compost or pine bark, in early spring. Then, you can finish tending to the tree by putting the fertilizer on top of the mulch. Replace the mulch every year to block out weeds and keep the surrounding soil moist. Wait for the guanabana's trunk to become at least 12in (1.3cm) thick. Using pruning shears, cut the branches down until the tree is about 30in (76cm) tall. Then, wait for new shoots to grow. Regular pruning helps your tree grow evenly so more water and sunlight reach the roots. New shoots will grow on your tree. Select the tallest shoot to be the central leader, then select 3 or 4 shoots spaced around it to be main branches. Wear a thick pair of gardening gloves and safety goggles to protect your eyes. Trim the central leader to about of its original size. New shoots will begin forming around the cut. Choose the tallest shoot again, then pin the other shoots down so they are horizontal. You can pin down the secondary shoots with clothespins or twine. Also remove any diseased or decaying branches on your tree. Although guanabana trees do not attract a lot of pests, some bugs can be an issue. Mealybugs are common, along with lace-wing bugs, moths, and fruit flies. Look for holes in the leaves, bark, or fruit. Spray a pesticide directly onto the plant. Consider using natural methods of pest treatment, like insecticidal soap or horticultural oil. Wear a respirator and eye protection when spraying chemicals. Keep people and pets out of the area. Root rot is a disease some guanabanas experience. This is usually caused by too much water.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Water the tree when the soil dries during a drought. Fertilize the tree in spring and fall. Renew the layer of mulch every year. Prune the tree down in the first year. Reduce the tree's size in the second year to encourage growth. Use an insecticide to treat infestations.
