Q: Slice an orange in half to reveal the seeds. Use a spoon or knife to pick out the seeds. The tree that grows will likely produce similar fruit, so make sure you choose the seeds of an orange variety you like. Some orange varieties, such as navels and clementines, are seedless, and you won't be able to propagate orange trees this way. Look for plump, whole, healthy seeds that don't have any spots, marks, dents, breaks, discoloration, or other blemishes or imperfections. Transfer the seeds to a bowl and fill it with clean water. Use a clean tea cloth to wipe the seeds and remove all traces of flesh and juice. Cleaning the seeds is also important for removing fungus and mold spores, and to prevent fruit flies. You can clean and germinate all the seeds in the orange, and then pick the biggest and healthiest sprouts to plant. Fill a small bowl with clean room temperature water. Transfer the seeds to the water and let them soak for 24 hours. Many seeds have a better chance of sprouting if they're soaked first, because soaking softens the seed coating and kickstarts the germination. When the seeds have soaked for 24 hours, drain the water and place the seeds on a clean towel. Don't soak the seeds for longer than this, as they may become waterlogged and not sprout.
A: Remove the seeds from an orange. Select and clean the seeds. Soak the seeds.

Q: If you spend time on a computer, then the position of your monitor could be causing your neck misalignment. Raise your monitor so that the top third of your screen is directly in your eyeline. Position the monitor 18 inches (46 cm) to 24 inches (61 cm) from your face. When you sit in a chair, press the bottom of your butt against the back of your chair. Allow your back to curve slightly, pressing your upper back against the chair. Keep your neck and head straight. You spend about a third of your time sleeping, and the wrong pillow can cause your neck to be poorly aligned. Your pillow should support your neck and keep in in line with your upper back and chest. A pillow that is too high or too low will put strain on your muscles, resulting in misalignment and pain. Great pillow options for neck alignment include memory foam pillows or neck roll pillows. A good pillow will also allow you to stay comfortable in different sleeping positions. Replace your pillows annually. Many people spend their day sitting at a desk, which can negatively affect your posture and health. Schedule breaks throughout your day to get up and walk around. While you're up, focus on walking with good posture. Stand up straight, roll your shoulders back, and face forward. Do your neck stretches during your breaks. Make sure that your diet is high in nutrients that support healthy bones, such as protein, calcium, iron, magnesium, vitamin K, vitamin C, and vitamin D3. Eating a healthy, balanced diet can also help you maintain a healthy weight, which will help your bones by making their load lighter. Eat lean proteins, fruit, and plenty of vegetables. Consider taking a multivitamin. Gentle exercise will help prevent injuries and pain in both your neck and back. When you exercise, your vertebrae swell with water, which allows nutrients to flow into your bones. Exercise can also help you control your weight, which will help by reducing the pressure on your bones.
A: Adjust your computer monitor. Sit up straight. Sleep on a pillow that supports your neck. Take posture breaks. Eat a healthy, balanced diet. Exercise regularly.

Q: Let the brush dry for at least 24 hours, or until it no longer seems damp. Avoid touching your brush, particularly the bristles, while it is drying. Moving the bristles too much as they dry can cause them to lose their shape. Although some may advise you to store your brush in a jar of water or mineral spirits, this method can warp the bristles. Keep your brush in a box instead so it stays in better condition.
A: Leave the varnish brush out to dry for 24 hours. Do not store your brush in water or mineral spirits.

Q: You don't want to go too deep too quickly, but you do want to open up a dialogue. Try some interesting questions. As an example, you could ask "What's your favorite book of all time? Why do you like it?" or "Where did you grow up? What was it like?" That is, don't hide truths about yourself if he or she asks. Everyone tells little white lies, but if you say you're a doctor when you're really only a nursing assistant, that will come back to bite you later. " Becoming too intimate too quickly can scare people off. Keep it cool and casual for the first date. You wouldn't talk about every mistake you've made on the job in the past on a job interview. The same holds true for a first date. You don't have to lay out all your personal flaws and mistakes on the first date. In fact, it's a good idea not to. You just want to make a connection with the other person, and saying too much too soon can push her or him away. That is, your date does want to hear about you. Don't always deflect the question back to your date. Tell him or her about who you are. As an example, if your date asks, "What's your favorite type of movie?," don't just say, "Oh, you know, I like most movies." Instead, you could say, "I really enjoy a wide spectrum, everything from goofy musicals to horror flicks. In fact, last night I watched Hairspray and Woman in Black. What do you like?" Saying goodbye is the last impression you leave your date with. Don't just say a quick goodbye. Take a minute to give your date a hug, kiss, or handshake, and talk about plans for getting in touch in the future. As an example, you could say, "I really enjoyed our date. I loved talking about baseball with you. When can I get in touch with you again?"
A:
Try some probing questions. Be honest. Don't say "I love you. Don't discuss all your personal information. Be a little personal. Take your time to say goodbye.
