Summarize the following:
If someone that you're not interested in asks you out over a text message, email, or instant messaging, it can be tempting to put off responding to him. Also, don't give him the silent treatment, and hope he gets the point. The polite way to handle the situation is to give him a response. Even though you want to respond in a timely manner, within the day that he sends the message, take a little time to think about what you want to When you reject someone, using "I" statements can help keep the rejection about you, so the guy you're speaking with doesn't feel insulted or put down. For example, instead of telling him, "Sorry, you aren't really my type," say something more like, "I'm really sorry. I just don't see you in a romantic way." Or say: "I've really enjoyed getting to know you, but I don't see this developing into anything further for me." If you are too informal when you're telling the man who asked you out that you're not interested, you can come across as rude. Even if you normally text or type in a manner that is very casual, try to be a bit more formal in your rejection. Use complete sentences and words. Instead of typing, "No thx. I'm just not really interested in u like that," Say, "Thanks for asking, but I just don't see you that way." Add something polite after your rejection. This can help you end the conversation and also soften the blow. Write something like, "Sorry. Wish you the best, John!" Often, it is easier to lie over text than it is to lie in person. It can be tempting to come up with excuses to let yourself off the hook, but in the long run, it is always better to lead with the truth. Don't leave your answer open-ended. Make sure that he won't think you might be interested in the future. Make your answer final. Even if you do want to be friends, make sure you say, "I don't see myself having romantic feelings for you, but I'd love to be friends!" instead of "Do you mind if we just stay friends right now?" Even though you want to be final and firm when you send your message, also try to find something positive to say. For example, say, "I appreciate that you asked me because I've enjoyed talking to you, but I just don't have romantic feelings for you."

summary: Respond in a timely manner. Use "I" statements. Use proper text etiquette. Stay honest.

When a dragon fruit is not ripe it will be green in color. As the fruit matures and ripens, the outer skin color changes to red or yellow, depending on the variety. When ripe the outer skin should be bright and even-colored. If the fruit has a lot of dark blotches on the skin, similar to bruises on an apple, then it may be overripe. A few spots, however, are normal. Dragon fruit wings are the leafy part that extend off of the fruit. When they start to dry out, turn brown, and wither, the dragon fruit is ripe and ready to be eaten. Conversely, if the wings are still colorful (ie red or yellow), that means the fruit is underripe and still needs more time to ripen. Once the dragon fruit has reached the stage of ripeness where the wings start to wither, the fruit should come off the vine fairly easily with a light twist. If the fruit falls off the vine on its own, it is overripe. The inside of a dragon fruit is usually white, deep pink, or purple, depending on the variety, and contains tiny black seeds. The black seeds are edible and are similar in appearance to those found in a kiwi. When ripe the inside of a dragon fruit should appear juicy yet firm in texture: like a cross between a melon and a pear. When a dragon fruit is overripe the inner flesh will turn brown in color, similar to the bruised flesh of a banana. You should not eat fruit that is brown or dried out.

summary: Look for dragon fruit that is red or yellow in color. Determine if the "wings" on the fruit have started to wither. Cut open the dragon fruit.

Use a spreadsheet and list the types of expenses you in the first column. Write the months of the year in the rows. Include a title row in the first row. Your expenses should include categories like housing, transportation, groceries, phone/internet, healthcare, interest payments, eating out, clothing and entertainment. Plan the budget out for at least the next 12 months. If you are married, include the income and expenses for the whole family. You are getting some economies of scale when you buy groceries for several people. First, gather your receipts, your credit card bill and your bank statement. Then, record your expenses last month. Every time you find a receipt that doesn't fit into your expenses categories, add a new category. You need to create an accurate view of what you are spending your money on. Download the Mint app for your smart phone, or use it on your computer, if you use your device regularly. It has a budgeting feature, which also records expenses and adds them to your monthly total, so you can see if you are staying on budget. If the number is negative, you are going into debt and need to strategize about how to make ends meet. Look for monthly expenses, such as eating out, travel or clothing that you can cut to make ends meet.
summary: Create a budget. Add a separate row for income and input your after-tax income. Don't spend another dime without recording it in your budget. Subtract your expenses from your income. Review your expenses closely.
