Problem: Article: Give the oil a few minutes to reach a boil. This will get you ready to deep fry the poppadoms. Now, take the raw poppadom dough you've made and place one piece at a time into the oil. Carefully watch over it as it fries. Of course, you can deep fry more than one poppadom at a time if you're getting really impatient, but this can lead to problems because they may fuse together, or you may lose track of one of them and lead it to burn a bit. The poppadom will begin to "pop" out a bit, and will take on a more full, airy texture. Once it has cooked on one side, use a slotted spoon to flip it over so that it cooks on the other side. It won't need to cook for as long on the second side as on the first, though you should watch to make sure it is cooked evenly on both sides and cook it for a bit longer or for a bit less time on the second side if necessary. The finished product should be a nice rich golden brown color. Carefully use a slotted spoon remove the poppadom from the oil. You can hold it over the oil for a few seconds to let the excess oil drip from the bottom of the spoon. The paper towel will absorb some of the extra oil. You can even flip the poppadom over after a minute or so, so that the oil from both sides is absorbed a bit. Now, continue to deep fry the poppadoms until they are all cooked to your liking. You may want to line multiple plates with paper towels so that more of their oil is absorbed. Enjoy these tasty treats on their own, along with your favorite Indian meal, or even eat them like chips and dip them into a bit of chutney.
Summary: Heat 2 cups of oil in a deep pan. Place a piece of dough in the oil and let it fry for about 2 minutes. Flip it over and cook it for about 30 seconds on the other side. Remove the poppadom from the oil with a slotted spoon. Place the poppadom on a plate lined with a paper towel. Deep fry the rest of the poppadoms. Serve.

Problem: Article: If you're wearing tennis shoes, boots, or other shoes where your feet are covered, you can fill the extra space with your socks. Look for a thick pair of hiking socks, or put on 2 or 3 pairs of thinner socks before you put on your shoes. For shoes like heels or ballet flats, this might not be a good option because your feet are mostly exposed. Heel cushions are normally used for making shoes feel more comfortable, but you can also use them to inconspicuously improve the fit of a pair of heels or dress shoes. Pull off the protective paper from the back of the cushion and stick it along the back side of the shoe, where the back of your heel would normally touch the shoe. The cushions are about 16 inch (0.42cm) thick, so they take up a small enough amount of space that it won't look like there's a big gap between your heel and the shoe. You can find heel cushions at most supermarkets, pharmacies, and shoe stores. If your dress shoes or heels aren't fitting well, you might have too much space in the toe area. Peel the protective paper off of the back of the cushions, and stick them to the insole of the shoe where your toes normally rest in the shoe. This helps to keep your toes in the same place when you walk. If you have a lot of space in the toe of your shoe, the ball of your foot can slide forward into the shoe, causing the heel of your shoe to slip off when you walk. If there's a gap between your foot and the top of your shoe, your foot can slip out of the shoe. To fix this, take an insole out of a different shoe of the same size and style, and lay it on top of the insole that's already in the shoe. Then, try on the shoe to make sure your foot touches the top of the shoe. If you don't have an extra insole, you can purchase inserts at the supermarket, pharmacy, or shoe store. This is a useful method for tennis shoes, boots, dress shoes, and heels since no one will be able to see the insole in the shoe.
Summary: Put on a pair of thick socks for a tighter fit all around. Place a cushion at the back heel of the shoe if the shoes are too long. Use ball of foot cushions to fill the toe area of the shoes. Add an extra insole into the shoe to elevate your foot.

Problem: Article: In the warmer months, feeders will need to be cleaned more often. In 90F or higher weather it may even be necessary to replace the liquid twice daily. Fermentation happens very quickly. Do not place hummingbird feeders in locations where they receive direct sunlight as it greater speeds up spoilage. In weather with temperatures in the 80s it is a good idea to change the liquid daily. In the 70s the liquid may last more than a day. Remember, you can't rely on liquid cloudiness to know it's time to change the liquid. Clear-looking liquid can be too fermented already. Beer looks clear but it's extremely fermented. Watch the nectar closely and throw it away when necessary. How long nectar lasts depends on the ambient temperature, how clean the feeder was before it was refilled, how many ports are open to let air in, and whether or not it gets direct sunlight. In high heat situations or when the feeder is in direct sunlight, nectar can go bad in less than a day. Check the feeder periodically for a greasy residue. This can indicate that there is black mold. The feeder should be boiled, if it is made of parts that can be boiled, more often than it is deep-cleaned. When you deep clean the feeder periodically you have the option of boiling the feeder three times in a row for 30 minutes each time, allowing it to cool. This will kill mold spores which are very resistant to being killed by boiling. You can also soak the feeder in hydrogen peroxide or vinegar for an hour or more. If you notice black mold growing on the feeder that is especially bad and requires soaking in vinegar, peroxide, or a 1 part bleach 10 parts water liquid. You should not see any black mold on the feeder after soaking. If you see it then continue to soak until it has dissolved.
Summary: Clean the feeder at the right frequency, depending on the season. Replace the nectar regularly. Deep clean the feeder at least once every seven days in hot weather.

Problem: Article: In some cases, parents rely on their children for emotional support during difficult times. This may not be a problem, but if you feel burdened by it, it's important to talk to your parent about how you feel. You should not be expected to be the rock if you are having problems dealing with the divorce as well. If a parent depends on you for support more than you are comfortable with, try to think of other people who he or she may be able to confide in. If there are no close friends or family members for the parent to talk to, suggest professional counseling. Try to keep in mind that the divorce is just as hard for your parents as it is for you. They may need help dealing with their emotions, just like you might.
Summary:
Let your parents know if they are leaning on you too much.
