Coffee cans, Tupperware, and resealable zipper storage bags are some examples of containers that will help keep ants out. You may find that an additional container inside of another will be an even more effective barrier. Food stored in a resealable zipper storage bag and placed inside an airtight container provides a strong barrier against ants. Set clean food dishes in a pan of water, not too deep (such as a cake pan). The pan of water will act as a moat and keep the ants out. Another solution is to use two stainless pet food dishes, one slightly larger than the otheruse industrial strength glue to attach a small piece of brick or very flat stone to the underside of the smaller dish, wait for the glue to dry, and put water in the larger dish. Place the smaller dish with attached brick or stone into the larger dish of water. The water serves as a moat, keeping ants out of the food, and the brick or stone helps keep the food dish from tipping over while raising it well above the water level. Set the dish with moat in a different area for two days or more. The ants will eventually stop returning to the normal feeding place. Several pet food dishes are available for purchase that are purported to protect against ant infiltration. Some of these dishes are meant for indoors, and some have even been developed for outdoor use. Choose the dish that will work best for your pet, whether an indoor or outdoor pet, a dog, cat, or other pet. Some standalone moats are also available into which you can place your existing food dish, thereby protecting the food from ants. Keep pet food dishes on a removable surfacesuch as a placematand remove to clean after meals. Ants follow a pheromone trail given off as they walk to direct them back to food sources. Cleaning the surface on which the food dish sitsand the dish itselfwith soap and water disrupts the pheromone trail, thus discouraging ants from returning. Mix a ratio of one tablespoon of 100% peppermint oil to one cup of water and mix in a spray bottle. Spray near the HVAC return vents in your home to deter pests. Their sense of smell will be disrupted, which is what deters them after the use of peppermint oil. Another effective way of using peppermint oil to deter ants from pet food is to use drops of the oil on a cotton ball to wipe onto baseboards and other surfaces near where ants may enter the home. You might also wipe the oil onto the surface around the area where pet food is stored or around the food dish.

summary: Store extra food in sealed containers. Create a moat barrier. Purchase ant-proof pet food dishes. Keep the area around food dishes clean. Use peppermint oil.

You are the king or queen of your actions no one is responsible for them but you. When you get behind the driver's seat after three too many drinks, that is your decision. In some ways, it may be more practical than getting on a bus or hailing a taxi, but it's still your decision. Whether you want to or not, you own up to your decisions at some point. Realizing that you are completely responsible for your actions can leave you feeling overwhelmed or even paralyzed at first. You begin to realize that each of your actions has repercussions, and that those repercussions are wildly different than the ones you may have imagined when you acted in the first place. It's a scary thought. But ultimately, being completely responsible for your actions is empowering. You are the maker of your own destiny. Within certain norms, no one else can tell you what to do. Taking full responsibility for your actions gives you freedom. You begin to understand how habits can be metaphorical chains, and how breaking them can set you free. Make a simple pro/con list of what your habit gives you. Try to be viciously, unsparingly honest with yourself. You can do it. Here's a pro/con list, for example, of smoking: Pros: Feeling of calmness and energy from nicotine Helps with short-term stress Opportunity for social ice-breaker Helps me feel stylish Cons: Numerous and damaging long-term health problems Gets very addictive very fast Expensive If abused, cuts my life short by years Usually, we justify indulging in a habit we know is bad because we value the short-term rewards disproportionately over the long-term effects. And that's because we can't see the long-term effects they're far off in the future, hard to judge, sometimes uncertain. It's much easier to see and feel the short-term benefits. For example, maybe you're a breakfast skipper. You're trying to lose weight, so you convince yourself to do it. In the short term, you may drop a couple of pounds and feel better about your body. But in the long run, those pounds are likely to come back (because you're not dieting properly), and you're planting the seeds of an eating disorder. You may feel empowered by your decision to bust all your bad behaviors and that's good! But don't put the cart before the horse. Stick to busting one habit first. Trying to break all your bad habits at once can be seriously overwhelming; it's better to take your time and break one for good than to rush through the process and end up getting rid of none of your bad habits. If you happen to fall off the wagon and accidentally indulge in your bad habit, don't give up all hope. Pull yourself right back up and get back on track. Minor setbacks will happen pretending that they won't is just not being honest with yourself. Instead, learn from your setbacks and try to ensure that they won't happen again.

summary: Take complete responsibility for your actions. Start scrutinizing the consequences and rewards of your habits. Begin to weigh the short-term rewards with the long-term consequences. Stick to breaking one habit at a time. Don't take minor setbacks too seriously.

Draw the shape from top to bottom, curving the line twice to make 2 open half-circles that intersect in the middle. You can choose whether to have a straight intersection, like in most print '3's, or a loop that appears like an 'O' between the two halves. Calligraphy ampersands are typically open at the side, based on a capital 'E,' rather than a lowercase one, like the standard shape. Right where your pencil comes up to form the end of the backwards '3' shape, make a loop by curving your pencil to the left and then crossing the line the loop began with. This will make a little loop that extends just past the tip of the original shape. For an added calligraphic flair, you can add an open figure-eight or infinity sign by bringing the loop up on the other side of the crossed line and curving downward to make an open loop. This stroke creates the crossed 'T' of the ampersand. Off the top right tip, you can add a tiny loop by bringing the line down, around, and back up again to cross the original pencil stroke. This is a completely optional stroke, as it will give the ampersand a less formal appearance. This loop is great for designs that you want to have a care-free, fun tone. Connect the underside of the top curve to the intersection line between the two half circles, and vice versa for the bottom curve. The line should be slightly curved inward so that it matches the original curve. Use your pencil to fill in the gap by repeatedly making shading strokes. The side of a pencil is often better for shading. You should use a pen or marker to make the shading look smoother than pencil strokes.
summary: Begin with a backwards '3' shape or a capital 'E' in cursive. Create a loop at the end of the bottom line. Make a little loop at the top of the shape. For a filled-in look, add lines to the inner edges of the main shape. Shade the space between the downstrokes, if you drew them.
