If you need to use your emergency supply, store open water containers in a refrigerator or cold location. Use an open container within 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator, 1 to 2 days in a cold room, or a few hours in a warm room. After that, purify the remaining water again by boiling it or adding chlorine.

If you are going to use lotion, baby wipes, or diapers when dressing your child, open these containers up before beginning to dress your child. Preparing these items beforehand can help to streamline the dressing process so that you decrease the chances of your child throwing a tantrum. Choose an outfit in advance if you're picking the clothes. Having your child's outfit picked out before you begin the changing process can help the process run much more smoothly. Dressing your child when they are still sleepy and unaware of the world can help to reduce the chances of a tantrum. Once your child realizes that getting dressed is something that must happen before breakfast or playtime, they will acclimate to the routine. Try keeping the lights on low as you dress them. This might help them stay a little sleepy and more docile. Toddlers are easily distracted and often take much longer than adults think they should to accomplish things. It is important that you leave plenty of time for changing your toddler's clothes, instead of waiting until right before you have to leave the house. Try to make sure that you have at least 10 minutes to change your toddler. Parents that hurry while dressing their toddler or rush a self-dressing toddler are more likely to be met with a tantrum. While this will not always be possible, try to pick out clothes for your child that are easy to put on and take off. Characteristics of these kinds of clothes include: Clothes that do not have a lot of ties, buckles, or buttons. Instead, use pullover shirts and slide-on pants. Elastic waistbands are a great choice. Soft clothes that aren't itchy. Make sure to remove any scratchy tags!

You will require different features from a hunting rifle compared to a range gun, hunting shotgun, or a shotgun for home defense. When you purchase a long gun, take the following factors into account: Semi-automatic, high-capacity assault rifles are best used at the range. They are too powerful for home defense and they tend to make poorer hunting rifles than a traditional larger caliber hunting rifle. Hunting rifles tend to have smaller capacity, and larger calibers. While there are some semi-automatic and lever action hunting rifles, the majority are bolt-action. Hunting shotguns are typically geared toward fowl hunting, although some people hunt larger game with them. They have a low to medium capacity, and come in double barrel, pump action, and semi-automatic. Home defense shotguns have shorter barrels, and usually come in pump action or semiautomatic. Ask them whether they think your selection is consistent with what you plan on using the weapon for. As always, remember that they have an incentive to upsell you. Make sure a more expensive recommendation is worth it. Although many dealers have ranges on sight, some of the smaller dealers might not allow rifles on their range. If that's the case, call a few other ranges and see if they have the same gun for rent. You will still need to pass a federal background check to purchase a long gun, so the same rules apply as stated above for pistols. Once you've made your decision, fill out the proper paperwork, bring and show a valid form of ID, and make your purchase. You must be of sound mind and not committing any crimes at the time of your purchase.

One-sentence summary -- Decide on the intended use for the rifle or shotgun (long gun). Confer with the dealer about your selection. Try your intended purchase out before you buy it. Purchase your gun.

Make sure the scissors or garden shears are very sharp, as dull shears can damage the plants. If you notice any dirt on the shears, soak them in water with a teaspoon of bleach and then wipe them dry. A clean tool will ensure your plants are not exposed to bacteria or pests when you prune them. You can find garden shears for pruning online or at your local hardware store. If you are worried about scratching your hands while you prune, wear gardening gloves. If you have houseplants that do not flower, prune them in late winter. For houseplants with flowers or blooms, wait until they have bloomed before you prune them. Do not prune houseplants when unopened buds are present on the stems. Look for any leaves or limbs on the plant that are brown or discolored. They may also appear limp or dry. Use the shears to cut them off just below the brown or dead area at a 45 degree angle. This will ensure you leave as much of the healthy foliage on the plant as possible. Do not cut off any leaves or limbs that still appear green and vibrant. If a large section of the leafy area appears dead, you can cut off the entire branch. Leave the main stem intact and remove branches shooting off of the stem at a 45 degree angle. If you have houseplants that are flowering, make sure you check them over for any dead flowers and remove them. The flowers may appear brown, discolored, and limp. They may also feel dry to the touch. Cut the dead flowers off with the shears at the base of the flower's head. Removing dead and dying flowers on the plant will encourage the growth of newer, more vibrant blooms.
