Q: Select apples with long stems so that you are easily able to tie a string to the stem. Make a double knot and be sure the string is tied tightly. Each player should have an apple that rests at chin-height, so you may want to measure your players before hanging the apples. You can hang the apples from a tree branch or a swing set. A clothesline may even work if it is high enough above the player's heads. Hang the apples so they dangle in front of each player. You cannot use your hands, so be sure each player keeps their hands behind their back. Attempt to bite the apple while it dangles on the string. This is harder than it seems, as the apple will swing around while you are attempting to nab it. The first person to grab the apple in their teeth is the winner. You could hand out prizes such as candy, bubbles, or chalk.
A: Tie string to apple stems. Vary the lengths of the strings. Hang the apples. Try to bite the apple. Select a winner.

Q: Most of the gels and creams for vaginal yeast infections that you can get over-the-counter are almost as effective as anti-fungal medications. Examples include Monistat and Gyne-Lotrimin. Use as directed. If you have recurrent infections, use for seven days. If you keep getting vaginal infections, or your infection won't go away, make an appointment to see your doctor. Recurrent yeast infections can be a sign of a more serious underlying disorder such as diabetes, cancer or HIV-AIDs. If your symptoms don't clear up after three days, talk with your doctor about taking medication. You should also see your doctor if your symptoms return or worsen. Your doctor may prescribe an anti-fungal medication to suppress the infection. You will likely need to take this medication every week or month for six months to a year. Treatment will depend on the type of infection, how extensive or severe it is and how long you have had the infection. Antibiotics are prescribed for BV and for trichomoniasis, but they are not effective on yeast infections. BV is generally treated with either metronidazole or clindamycin. These are considered safe if you are pregnant. Male partners usually don't need treatment, but female partners should be informed and tested. Trichomoniasis is usually treated with a single dose of either metronidazole or tinidazole. These are considered safe if you are pregnant.Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection, so make sure your sexual partner(s) are treated as well and wait for seven days after treatment to have sex. Vaginal yeast infections can be treated with anti-fungal creams, ointments and vaginal suppositories. Examples of these treatments are butoconazole (Gynazole-1), clotrimazole (Gyne-Lotrimin), miconazole (Monistat 3) and terconazole (Terazol 3). Your doctor can prescribe them or they are available (in weaker doses) over-the-counter at your pharmacy. Vaginal yeast infections can also be treated with a single oral dose of fluconazole (Diflucan). Recurrent or more complicated yeast infections may be treated with higher doses of the medications or you may be asked to take them for a longer period of time. Most often, your partner won't need treatment. However, this may change if you experience recurrent infections. Pregnant women can experience yeast infections, which should be cleared up before the baby is due. If you still have a yeast infection when the baby is born, it can pass to the baby, causing thrush. Check with your doctor about treating vaginal infections during this time.
A: Get an over-the-counter gel or cream. See your doctor about recurring or long-lasting vaginal infections. Take antibiotics for BV and trichomoniasis. Treat stubborn vaginal yeast infections with an anti-fungal cream. Treat a long-lasting yeast infection with fluconazole. Use caution if you are pregnant.

Q: When you purchase a computer for your parents, it might not be the first time they have ever used one. If this is the case, you should consider purchasing a computer with hardware, an operating system, and features similar to the computer they are used to working on. Retaining familiarity means they will be more comfortable with the new computer and there will be less of a learning curve. For example, if your parents are used to using Windows on a desktop computer, it might be a good idea to purchase a desktop that operates using Windows. Laptops can be a good choice for computer users who want portability in a computer model. Their screen sizes generally range from around 11 inches to 15 inches, which is much smaller than the screen size of most desktops. They also offer less choice in internal components, and can be more difficult to upgrade and repair. For most users, however, these drawbacks are made up in the laptop's size, portability, and accessibility. A tablet with a keyboard can be a great computer choice for your parents. An iPad, for example, takes minimal time to boot or load apps, is nearly impervious to viruses, and has an operating system that is easy to learn and use. A tablet travels well and will give your parents flexibility in their daily use. It is also an extremely budget-friendly option. If portability isn't a priority for your parents, you should consider a desktop computer. A desktop setup can be more comfortable and will allow you multiple options including more memory and processing power for your money. Monitors on desktops are also larger, usually starting at 17 inches, which can be an important factor to consider if your parents struggle with eyesight issues.
A: Consider retaining familiarity. Ask your parents if they are interested in a laptop. Think about trying a tablet. Don't disregard a desktop computer.

Q: If the relationship is relatively new, maybe you can get away with breaking up over the phone. Maybe. But come on, if you've been out on more than a handful of dates, isn't that kind of harsh? Do the right thing and end the relationship in person. Having one final talk together is a good way to bring closure to the relationship. As painful as it may be, a relationship-ending conversation might enable you to learn something about yourself and set the stage for something better in the future. You may try to be sparing their feelings, but it will blow up in your face when you're caught. You will be considered untrustworthy, and your reputation will falter. Your friends might back you up, but that doesn't mean the rest of the world will.
A:
Do it in person. Don't lie.
