INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Using a large sharp knife, cut the grapefruit through its "equator". This will give you two equal grapefruit halves. Stand one grapefruit half up on a cutting board so that the "pole" of the grapefruit and the open part of the grapefruit are horizontal to the cutting board. Using the sharp knife, cut inch slices of grapefruit. Do this for both halves of the grapefruit. Be very careful that your fingers don't get in the way of the knife. Take the sharp knife and cut each circular grapefruit slice into a half-moon shaped slice. You can stop here, or if you want smaller wedges, cut the half-moon shaped slices in half to create triangular slices. Take the knife and cut a small slit into the fruit of each grapefruit wedge. Take the wedges and put them on the rims of glasses or cups; the slit will help the grapefruit stay put on the rim. If you are not preparing any beverages, you can also simply put grapefruit cut in this way on a plate to eat.

SUMMARY: Cut the grapefruit at the center. Cut the grapefruit into circular slices. Cut the slices into wedges. Cut a small slit in the slices and put them on glass rims.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To make boric acid suppository capsules at home, you will need the following tools: Boric acid powder (not crystals), empty size 0 gelatin capsules, a clean sheet of paper, and a clean kitchen knife. Boric acid powder should be readily available at most convenience stores such as Walmart, CVS, and Rite Aid. If you cannot find it, a pharmacist can probably order it for you. Look for empty gel capsules at local stores and pharmacies like Walmart, a vitamin or health food store, or order them online. You may also want to wear latex or rubber gloves, as boric acid can irritate the skin. Lay a clean sheet of paper on a flat surface to catch any spills. Over the paper, dip the small tip of your clean knife into the powder and use the knife to carefully spoon the powder into an open capsule. Close the capsule tightly. A capsule should contain around 600mg of boric acid. Fill the capsule with as much powder as it will hold. If you'd prefer, use your sheet of paper like a funnel to fill your capsules. First, make a sharp crease down the middle of the paper. Then put a small amount of boric acid on the paper, and tilt the paper so the powder pours neatly into the capsule until the capsule is full. Close the capsule tightly. It's okay to make up many capsules at once. Store them in an old vitamin container or other waterproof, sealed container. If possible, put a small packet of silicon in there with them to help prevent moisture. They should keep well for up to a year. Do not store them in the refrigerator.

SUMMARY: Gather the materials you'll need. Fill your capsules using a sharp knife. Fill your capsule using the funnel method. Store them in a cool, dry place.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Ask one of your friends or a friend of the guy who likes you to try talking to him about how you're not interested and he should give it up. He might listen better when it comes from someone else. Also ask your friends or his friends to stop making jokes about the two of you getting together, or any other encouragement they try to give him. The guy that likes you might just want the attention or be pursuing you because his friends egg him on. If you feel really annoyed or threatened by him, it's a good time to talk to a parent or other adult for more help. Just tell them that there's a guy who likes you and won't leave you alone. The adult can offer you more advice, or talk to the guy or his parents. If you feel uncomfortable talking to a parent or other adult, try writing down what you want to say first before you say it. Also decide what you want from the adult beforehand so you can ask them. Say, "I just want you to help me figure out what to do about something," or, "I need you to talk to someone's parents for me." If a guy still persists with unwanted attention in any way after you've made it clear with your speech and actions that you aren't interested, talks or sends messages in a way that is threatening, or shows up at your house or somewhere to see you uninvited, speak up and tell the police.

SUMMARY:
Talk to a friend. Talk to your parents or trusted adults. Talk to the police if things get bad.
