Q: This is probably the easiest and most accessible solution. If the ink is oil-based, as many ballpoint pens are, you may not have much luck, but if the pen uses water-soluble ink, it should wash off right away. Water-based inks tend to seep through paper and take longer to dry, so they are more likely to smear and get on your skin. Roller ball pens and some gel pens are usually water soluble. It will be kind of gross and may get messy, but the oils in these products will help dissolve the oil contained in the ink. Dissolving the ink will bring it to a liquid state, and when you clean off the butter or shortening with a dry paper towel, the ink should start to come off. This same principal means that oils like coconut oil, baby oil, or olive oil will also help dissolve the ink. Pour some oil onto a paper towel and use it to scrub off the ink. After making yourself a cup of tea, set the tea bag aside and allow it to come to room temperature. Once cooled, scrub the ink with the tea bag. It should rub off easily. The oils in the tea, combined with the rough fabric of the bag, will work together to break down and lift the pen off your skin. Don't be too harsh when you rub the tea against your skin, or you may break the bag and spill tea leaves everywhere.
A: Wash the ink off with soap and water. Rub vegetable shortening or butter on the ink. Rub a cooled, used teabag over the pen ink.

Q: Curly hair can be notoriously difficult to cut, and hairdressers need to understand the needs of different kinds of curls in order to give you a great cut. Ask around or go online to find a great hairdresser for your hair needs. Ask a friend with curly hair if they have a recommended hairdresser. Try doing an Internet search of salons or individual hairdressers in your area that specialize in curly hair. Read reviews and check prices to find the best options. Look for photos of haircuts that you find flattering to bring to the salon. It's important for the stylist to see your hair in its fluffiest, curliest state: this helps them best assess what kind of cut you need. Wash your hair that morning or the night before, and let it air dry. Ask the hairdresser to cut your curls dry so that each curl can be individually assessed. If you want long, curly hair, ask your stylist to add long layers, which prevent it from getting too heavy at the end. Shorter layers will give your hair more volume and bounce. Split ends will make your hair even more frizzy, and the damage can be difficult to hide. Whenever you start to notice split ends, head to your hairdresser or give your hair a trim to ensure your curls stay healthy. Apply conditioning treatment to the ends of your hair after a trim, or whenever you start to notice they're getting dry or split. Curly hair tends to be more fragile than straight, and the caustic chemicals in hair dye can wreak havoc on it, compromising curl structure and resulting in lots of frizz. If you want to color your hair, choose a gentler color and proceed gradually. For example, instead of going from dark brown to platinum blonde, consider adding in some highlights to start.
A: Find a hairdresser that understands curly hair. Go to your haircut with freshly-washed curls. Opt for long or short layers, depending on your desired look. Trim your hair regularly to avoid split ends. Color your hair with caution.

Q: It's a good idea to fill the crockpot to of the height of the honey jar, so that the water will not fully cover the honey jar. This will protect your honey from getting water into it.
A: Fill your crockpot partially with water.

Q: The type and amount of food and gear that you bring are highly dependent upon the sort of trip that you're taking. If you'll only be gone for the day, then you'll need much less gear than if you plan to be on the road for the week, the month, or the year. Set your vision and check your expectations. Remember that you will need to carry everything you use. Look at a map, and chart out where you want to go. If you have a destination in mind, figure out an exciting way to get there. If your vision is looser, try to at least pick an initial goal to shoot for. The average long-distance cyclist goes between 4060 miles (6497km) each day, although it is quite common to tackle much longer and much shorter distances. You may find that you start off cycling shorter distances, and work your way up into the 100+ kilometer (62+ mile) range. Plan this gradual strengthening into your route. Carry a map, a standalone GPS, or a smartphone with downloaded maps of the areas you'll bike through. Think ahead to possible stops in towns, rest stops, and camping locations. Have contact plans in case of emergencies. Even if you're in great physical shape, it is still wise to ease into the routine of biking monstrous distances each day. Start with shorter trips close to home. and gradually work your way up to longer distances. If you have been off your bike for a long time, even a mile or two will help you get back into the saddle. Several shorter trips will also give you the opportunity to road-test your gear. If you are training for a long-distance bicycle race, try to train up to a ride that is 2/3 to 3/4 the distance of the planned event. If you are riding a century (100 miles), for instance, work up to the point that you can cycle 60-75 miles in one go. If you've gotten to this point, you're effectively ready for the big ride.
A:
Decide how long you'll be gone. Plan your route. Start with shorter distances.
