Q: There are currently no studies being done on turmeric supplements for children, so children should not take turmeric supplements. Adults can take turmeric supplements in capsule, fluid extract, or tincture form. Have up to 500 mg a day of turmeric in capsule form. Take 30 to 90 drops of fluid extract turmeric a day. Have 15 to 30 drops of turmeric in tincture form, four times a day. It can be difficult for your body to absorb turmeric if you are taking it on its own. The herb is not water soluble and as a result, 99% of the herb can go right through your body, with no absorption. Taking turmeric supplements with lipids, or fat, seems to increase its absorption rate. You should speak to your doctor before you take any herbal supplements, including turmeric supplements. If you are on blood thinning medications, such as warfarin (Coumadin), clopidogrel (Plavix), and aspirin, you should avoid taking turmeric supplements. Turmeric supplements can strengthen the effects of these drugs, thereby raising your risk of internal bleeding. You should also avoid turmeric supplements if you are taking medication that reduces your stomach acid, as it can interfere with these drugs and increase the production of stomach acid to dangerous levels. Avoid turmeric supplements if you are on the following stomach acid medication: Cimetidine (Tagamet), Famotidine (Pepcid), Ranitidine (Zantac), Esomeprazole (Nexium), Omeprazole (Prilosec), Lansoprazole (Prevacid). Turmeric can increase your risk of hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, so it should be avoided if you are on diabetes medication.
A: Take the recommended dose of turmeric if you are an adult. Look for turmeric supplements that contain lipids. Do not take turmeric supplements if you are on blood-thinning medication. Avoid taking turmeric supplements if you are on diabetes medication.

Q: Many cities have ordinances against raising chickens in city lines. It is a good idea to search for town ordinances and to check with your homeowner's association. They may have additional restrictions. Most cities have stricter laws about roosters than chickens. If you want a rooster in order to grow chickens for meat, you may have more trouble. Chickens make a fair amount of noise. Don't have roosters if you have neighbors close by; the roosters may disturb the neighbors! Chickens will still squawk, but rest assured they will not crow like roosters. Consider offering your neighbors free eggs every few weeks. They may be more amenable to the idea if they reap some benefits. You will need to stay at home the first day the chicks arrive, and clean and harvest eggs most days of the year. If you have to work long hours, this responsibility may not be for you. If you are raising the birds from chicks, you'll have a little bit of time to build it while they grow. If you are buying older hens, you will need the coop immediately.
A: Find out if it is legal to raise chickens on your land. Talk to your neighbors. Make sure you have enough time in your schedule to care for chicks and chickens. Set aside an area in your backyard for the chicken coop.

Q: Don't use a bronzer that is more than one skin tone darker than your own. Check carefully when buying it at the store and test out a few on your face to see which color will work best for you. Avoid bronzers with orange tints -- these typically do not look good on pale skin. Go for bronzers that lean toward brown. Different products work well for oily, combination, and dry skins. Using testers, check at the store which products feel and spread best on your skin. Bronzers are supposed to add a healthy-looking shine to your skin, and can be very useful for making pale skin appear slightly darker. (They are not designed to make your skin look bronze, despite their name.) After getting some on the brush, tap off any excess before applying. Focus on your temples and cheekbones. Use only a little on your nose and chin, and blend a little on your neck.
A: Choose your bronzer or blush color. Select a bronzer that works for your skin type. Apply bronzer with a big brush.

Q: Get very into the Thriller dance by dressing up like a zombie. First, look for some old clothes that you won't wear anywhere. You can wear pants or a skirt and shirt. Or, you can wear a dress. The choice is yours. 1980s style clothing is ideal because that's the decade Thriller came out. Use scissors or your hands to tear them up so that they look very old. You can find cheap clothes at a thrift shop if you don't have any clothes you're willing to rip up. A zombie will probably not have very neat hair. Run your fingers through your hair to make it very untidy. You can use a comb to tease your hair into different directions. Use hairspray to get the unkempt hairstyle to hold. Place a few leaves or twigs in your hair if you want step up the zombie-like appearance. Your goal with your makeup is to make it look like you've been long dead and rotting. Wear very light foundation to give you a pale appearance. Use dark eye shadow or black eyeliner to create dark circles around your eyes. Apply more of the dark eye shadow to your cheeks to make them look gaunt. Next, take purple and reddish eye shadow and apply it to look like wounds around your face. You can buy fake wound kits at many costume stores. Wear zombie contacts for an extra creepy appearance. A zombie costume is not complete without fake blood. Purchase fake blood from costume, or make it out of red food coloring, water, and corn syrup. Spread the blood on your face, arms, and legs if they are exposed. Pour it on your torn clothes, and pour a small amount into your hair. Make sure that the fake blood does not irritate your skin before putting a lot of it on your skin. Mix in some dirt into the blood to look extra dirty.
A:
Rip up some old clothes. Make your hair untidy. Wear zombie makeup. Put on fake blood.
