Q: When it is time to boil off the alcohol, you have one of two options. The first is to use a double boiler and a range. This is a very safe method. Fill the bottom part of your double boiler with water. Pour the dark green liquid into the top pan. If you can not fit all of the liquid in the pan, gradually add it as the level drops. Turn the burner on high and wait for the liquid in the top pot to boil. Once the liquid in the top pot is bubbling (the alcohol is evaporating), turn off the burner immediately. The heat from the boiling water below will continue to burn off the alcohol. Allow the contents in the top pan to bubble for 15 to 25 minutes. Occasionally scrape the sides and bottom of the pan with your silicon spatula. If the contents stop bubbling, but still appear runny, turn on the burner to low. Once the contents resume bubbling, turn off the burner. When the contents become a thick dark green syrup, all of the alcohol has evaporated and all you are left with is the medical cannabis oil. The process is complete. Remove the top pan from the bottom pan and allow the medical marijuana oil to cool. As it cools, it will continue to thicken. If you do not have access to a stove top, you may substitute a rice cooker for a double boiler. Fill your rice cooker of the way full with your alcohol-oil mix. If you have more of the mixture, you can continue to add it to the rice cooker as the level drops. Turn the rice cooker on "High" or set it to the "White Rice" setting. Allow the solvent-oil mixture to boil down. When the solvent-oil mix is becomes a thick, dark green liquid, put on oven mitts, remove the pan from the rice cooker, and gently swirl the mixture. (When the amount of bubbles rising to the top decreases significantly, it is time to remove the mixture from the rice cooker). Pour the contents of the rice cooker into a glass or metal dish. Set the glass or metal dish on a candle warmer. Turn on the candle warmer and allow any remaining CO2 to evaporate from the mixture. When the contents are no longer bubbling, you may remove the glass or metal dish from the candle warmer. The lack of bubbles signifies that all of the alcohol has evaporated from the medical cannabis oil and the process is complete. For ease of use, store the medical marijuana oil in a plastic syringe. Slowly draw the medical cannabis oil into the plastic syringe by pulling on the plunger. If you have more oil than syringes, you may store any excess oil in a glass air-tight container. Keep your syringes and containers in a cool, dark cabinet.
A: Boil off the solvent in a double boiler. Boil off the solvent in a rice cooker. Fill syringes with the medical marijuana oil.

Q: The paper towels will help soak up the grease as the bacon cooks. If you put the bacon directly on the plate, it will end up grease-logged and chewy. Close the microwave door and set the cook time. For example, if you have 4 slices of bacon, set your microwave's timer for 4 minutes. You don't need to flip the strips over or do anything at this point. Be sure to remove the bacon from the paper towels right away so they don't stick to it as they cool down. Use tongs to transfer them to a regular plate without draining the first. Give them a few minutes to cool and then dig in! The paper towels soaked up the excess grease as the bacon cooked, so you don't have to worry about draining them with this technique.
A: Cover a microwave-safe plate with 3-4 layers of paper towels. Cook the bacon for 1 minute per strip on HIGH. Transfer the bacon strips to a new plate to cool.

Q: Hair can be a great asset when cared for properly but can also detract from your appearance if neglected. Even if you have no time to put it up, make sure it's brushed and that you have a ponytail holder with you. Short hair is normal too. Wash your hair regularly. Gently towel-dry it and let it air-dry as often as possible; blow-drying is hard on your hair. Condition your hair to keep it looking healthy and vibrant. Find a formula that works for you; nothing is one-size-fits-all. Of course you want to minimize flaws and accentuate your best features, but don't pack it on; unnatural makeup makes you look fake. If you want people to think you are normal, then be real and look real. It's normal to not want to wear makeup too. A touch of base, a hint of blush, a bit of eye shadow, eyeliner, and mascara can help bring your face to life. To avoid looking like a painted lady, choose colours that compliment your natural colouring. Go natural if that's what feels best to you. Be sure to eat right, drink lots of water, and pamper your skin to make it glow.
A: Have fun with your hair. Keep your makeup simple.

Q: Timing is important in life, especially when you want to talk to your spouse about something they may not want to do. Try to find a time when neither of you are stressed out, when you're both relaxed and calm, and in good moods. Waiting until the weekend when you are both decompressed from work is an ideal time. The best time to approach the subject is when it is just the two of you. Attempting to convince your spouse to do something in a group setting or when others are around may seem like you are trying to put them on the spot and make them be agreeable so they won't embarrass themselves in front of others. Your spouse will likely become defensive and may even feel betrayed. Instead, begin the conversation when you're having a nice dinner or when you are relaxing on the couch. You might say something like, "Can we get dinner tonight? There's something I'd like to discuss with you." If your spouse is a football fanatic and there's a big game on that night, then it might be a good idea to talk the next day. Choose a time when neither of you will be distracted and can focus. Determine why moving to the area would be a good idea for your spouse. Try to find selling points that would work in your spouse's favor. Having this information handy when you bring up the subject could help you to convince them of the move. Perhaps your spouse doesn't like the weather where you currently live, and your ideal location has temperatures you believe they would like. Or maybe the jobs are better in that area. You can go into a conversation feeling prepared, but if you receive opposition from your spouse, you might forget all of your mental prep work. To prevent this, write down your reasons for wanting to move. Your notes can serve as a check list of subjects you want to cover during the conversation. It may be helpful to write down your spouse's responses to each of your topics. Doing so allows you to come back to the list and think about possible solutions for your spouse's apprehensions, should you have another conversation about moving.
A:
Wait for the right time. Do your research. Write down your thoughts.
