Q: Adultery is generally a valid ground for divorce. Therefore, if you believe your spouse has been cheating on you and you want a divorce, you may need to prove adultery in order to finalize your legal proceedings. Also, in many states, if you are filing a no-fault divorce (meaning neither party is taking responsibility for the divorce), you will need to wait for up to one year before you can file divorce papers. However, if you are filing for a fault-based divorce, which would include a divorce based on adultery, you will be able to file immediately. If your spouse commits adultery and you can prove it in court during divorce proceedings, some states will use the information when deciding issues of alimony and property division. In some states, proving your spouse was adulterous will bar that spouse from collecting spousal support all together. Proof of adultery is often hard to come by considering the act's nature of secrecy (i.e., you do not usually commit it out in the open for everyone to see). Also, adultery does not necessarily mean that your spouse had sexual intercourse, it could also mean you were sexually intimate. Therefore, most courts do not require proof of the adulterous act itself. Instead, most courts require you to prove: First, that your spouse had a disposition to commit adultery. A disposition is a tendency to act in a certain way. In this case, it is a tendency to act in an adulterous manner. Second, that your spouse had the opportunity to commit adultery. An opportunity to commit adultery is showing that your spouse had the time and ability to commit adultery in any specific situation. If you have direct evidence, which can be eyewitness accounts or photographs of the adulterous act, then you should be able to prove adultery. However, direct evidence is usually hard to come by because the spouse committing adultery is often keeping a low profile and cheating in private. In South Carolina, courts have recognized this difficulty and, like most states, do not require direct evidence in order to establish the charge. In all likelihood, you will have to prove adultery by using circumstantial evidence, which means you will be using certain pieces of evidence to make implications. Your indirect evidence should prove: Your spouse had the chance to commit adultery, for example being alone with someone else; and Your spouse had the disposition to commit adultery, which means that given the situation, adultery likely took place. When you get to court, if your spouse has a credible explanation for the acts you are alleging amount to adultery, a court may not side with you. Therefore, before you file a fault-based divorce based on adultery, make sure your spouse does not have another reasonable explanation for the acts you believe amount to adultery. If you take actions that can be perceived as condoning the adulterous activity, courts may not allow you to claim adultery as valid ground for divorce. Also, if you and your spouse reconciled after you became aware of the adulterous activity, you may not be able to claim it as valid grounds for divorce. Condonation and/or reconciliation can be in the form of getting back together with your spouse or writing letters of forgiveness.
A: Know why you would want to prove adultery. Understand the consequences of committing adultery. Know what you need to prove. Use direct evidence. Use circumstantial evidence. Think about other possible reasonable explanations. Be careful not to condone the adulterous activities.

Q: If you're in a rush, Hamburger Helper can be prepared entirely in the microwave with the same basic approach as above. To start, crumble your beef into a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat the meat on high for about five to seven minutes or until any residual pinkness is gone. Break up the meat and stir at the three-minute mark. Don't forget to crumble the meat as you put it in the bowl and to break it up halfway through the cooking process. Microwaving a single solid block of ground beef will lead to uneven cooking. Any of the draining techniques covered in the section above will work just as well here. Remember that, to avoid clogged drains, pour cooled grease into the garbage, not the sink. Stir well to combine in the bowl with the cooked ground beef. Stop the cooking to stir the mixture every five minutes or so. Don't cover the bowl completely as it cooks. You can use a microwave-safe lid to reduce splatters, but leave it open a crack so that steam and pressure do not build up in the container. Use oven mitts or a towel to protect your hands when you stir. After a few minutes of cooking, the bowl will be very hot. Test the pasta for done-ness every time you stop to stir the casserole. Your dish is ready to serve when the pasta has a semi-soft texture that offers a little resistance (in other words, when it's "al dente"). Carefully transfer the hot bowl out of the microwave and let it cool somewhere safe for high temperatures (like an unused burner on the stove). As in the method above, the cooling period is important the sauce will continue to thicken even after the bowl is removed from the heat.
A: Microwave beef on high until cooked all the way through. Drain the grease. Add pasta, milk, hot water, and sauce mix. Microwave on high for about 14-19 minutes. Remove from microwave and let cool when pasta is al dente.

Q: Deodorants can aggravate certain skin conditions such as psoriasis. If you have a skin condition, consult your doctor before switching to a new deodorant. Tell your doctor you want a spray deodorant; they should be able to recommend a brand that is safe. All discount department stores, grocery stores, and pharmacies will have a health and beauty aisle with many different types of spray deodorants. Be prepared to spend 10-15 minutes browsing sprays to find the right one for you. The underarms are easily irritated, and if you have skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis, using a non-irritating deodorant is important. Aluminum, alcohol, fragrances, and parabens are the biggest skin irritants found in some deodorants, including sprays. Check the back of a spray to see if it contains these ingredients. Don't buy sprays that have these ingredients. If you don't have sensitive skin, it is fine to buy a scented spray deodorant. However, be sure to test the fragrances to make you buy one you like. Test multiple fragrances by sniffing the top of the can. Remove the lid on the spray before smelling. Strong fragrances can be overpowering and off-putting to some people. Lighter fragrances are not overpowering but may need to be reapplied if you are very active during the day.
A: Consult a doctor if you have a skin condition like eczema or psoriasis. Go to your local store to purchase a spray deodorant. Choose a gentle spray if you have sensitive skin. Test the fragrances.

Q: On the morning of the day you want to roast the turkey or the night before, remove the brine from the refrigerator. Pour it into a 5USgal (19l) food-safe bucket or cooler. Mix in the ice water. Consider using a 5USgal (19l) drink cooler. These have good insulation and a drain spout for easy clean up. Take the turkey from the refrigerator and remove the innards. Discard the innards and the pop-up thermometer if your turkey has one. Put the turkey breast-side down in the brine-filled container. The turkey should be completely covered in brine. If it isn't, place a heavy plate or dish on the turkey to weigh it down. Cover the bucket and refrigerate the turkey while it brines. If you're using a cooler with a lid, screw the lid on and leave it in a cool place while the turkey brines. The cooler with the turkey and brine should keep the turkey at 38F (3C) or below. If you think the cooler isn't keeping the turkey cold enough, refrigerate it.
A:
Mix the brine with 1 gallon (3.8l) ice water in a large container. Submerge the thawed turkey in the brine. Chill the turkey in the brine for 8 to 16 hours.
