Summarize the following:
Your parents may say "No" or express hesitance. While you may want to argue, this is not the best solution. Arguing will only make things more tense and may make your parents angry. If your parents get angry, they're less likely to listen to you and consider your case. It's not the end of the world if your parents say "No." Try to show them how responsible you are in the upcoming weeks. They may change their mind. Your parents may want to feel that you've earned your cat. If they express hesitance, try to offer something in return. The cat can be a reward for certain behaviors or achievements. For example, say something like, "What if I work really hard this semester and bring up my math grade? Maybe the cat can be a reward for that." You'll have better luck with choosing something that you struggle with. For example, if you get straight As in English at school, pick a different subject. Money is a major issue when it comes to new pets. If you offer to pay, your parents may agree to get a cat. You can offer to save your allowance or get a part time job. For example, say something like, "I can save all my money from my after school job. That way, I can pay for new toys and a litter box." If you're applying for jobs, impress your parents by showing the applications that you've filled out. Even if you don't get the job, your parents will appreciate the effort. Even if you ask maturely and calmly, your parents may still say "No." At this point, the best course of action is simply accepting the answer. If your parents see you can calmly accept a "No," they may change their minds in the future. End the conversation on a good note. Say something like, "Well, I appreciate you guys listening anyway. Thanks for hearing me out." Accepting a "No" answer is a sign of maturity and may help you with future requests. If you keep pressing them or throw a tantrum, they'll be more likely to say "No."

summary: Do not argue or whine. Offer to do something in return. Offer to pay for some of the costs. Accept a "No" for now.

Summarize the following:
Obstructions will set off the sensors and will prevent the door from closing. Move objects away from the garage door opening and away from the sensors. Your door may open and close properly if you do this. Dirt and debris may obstruct the lens in your sensors and prevent them from working properly. Unlike a rough cotton or wool rag, a microfiber cloth won't scratch the delicate surface of the lens. This could prevent your sensors from working properly. If they are burnt or damaged, cut off the power to your garage door and contact a professional so that they can replace the wiring. Tighten the wing nuts on both of the sensors to make them sit straight in the brackets. Double check that the brackets are attached properly to the garage doors. Doing this will ensure that the sensors are lining up correctly. If the sensor is working properly, it should show a solid green light.

summary: Clear your garage doorway of obstructions. Clean your sensors with a microfiber towel. Look for damaged or frayed wires. Ensure that the sensors are properly facing each other.

If you notice shoots that look limp and are not growing flowers, trim them down immediately. Use pruning shears to cut the stems at their halfway point. This should leave at least 2 inches (5.1cm) of stem from the base of the plant. Do not remove any remaining leaves on the stem. During your weekly check, you can remove more than half of a limp stem if it looks unhealthy. Use pruning shears to cut away as much of the damaged stem as possible. Make sure that at least 2 inches (5.1cm) of it remains above the surface of the soil. You can cut down your plants regularly, regardless of whether stems are damaged or not, to promote greater growth. Each trimmed stem will branch out and give 3 or 4 new blooms within 2-3 days. Remove the bulk of the stems, leaving at least 2 inches (5.1cm) to regrow. This is an effective way to remove deadheads if you have too many plants to pinch off individual deadheads one at a time. After pruning your petunia plants, water the soil just enough so it is damp. Spray a 10-10-10 solution or all-purpose fertilizer into the soil around the plants. Applying 1-2 sprays around each plant should be sufficient to fertilize the soil and encourage regrowth within a week. A 10-10-10 solution contains 3 main nutrients- nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Do not apply too much fertilizer, as it can be harmful to your plants in large doses. Use fertilizer no more than once a week.
summary: Cut sinking stems to half of their length to encourage regrowth. Trim limp stems down to 2 inches (5.1cm) from the base if they are damaged. Cut down a third of your plants every other week, if you have a large crop. Add an all-purpose fertilizer to moist soil to encourage regrowth.
