INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Whenever you are digging, you must always first consult your local utilities authority about the underground utilities layout, especially if you live in a suburban or even semi-rural area. Digging into the layout isn't just disruptive but potentially lethal if your shovel comes in contact with anything electrical. Even in the mildest cases, a lot of hassle can be bypassed if you contact the proper authorities first. Remember the words: "Call before you dig." Note that this is a free service. If you are in the US, call 811. This will connect you with the Nationwide Dig line, which can connect you with a local team. They will give you a work ticket reference number and let you know when you can expect the inspection to take place. You'll need to mark the area where you plan to dig with white paint. If you're looking for the right number to call, you can search online: "dig hole" and your city or municipality. The proper authority should come up in the first or second listing. If your hole is going to be any bigger than a post, it is good to first have an outline of how big you'd like the hole to be. Without a line, diggers have the tendency to miscalculate how big their finished hole should be. With a can of white marking spray paint, spray the area you would like to have dug up. Be generous with the size; it's usually better to have a hole that's slightly too big than one too small for your needs. If you're digging post holes, you should run a straight string along the area you'd like to see fenced and spray markers or drive marker stakes into the ground at consistent intervals across the line. Due to how many different types and sizes of holes can be dug, there's no all-encompassing list to turn to if you want to know what equipment you'll need. However, for virtually all kinds of holes, a shovel is necessary. While most of the work may be one with a shovel, other instruments may speed up the process. Though you may want to get the biggest tools available for efficiency's sake, you should choose tools that make sense for your body size. An appropriately-sized tool will keep you from tiring out quickly, thus improving efficiency in the long run. A shovel and mattock are good for regular holes. Get your hands on a posthole digger if you need to make holes for a new fence. You should also consider how you're going to deal with the displaced soil. If you're putting the soil back in the hole once you've dug it up, you can shovel it back. Putting a tarp next to the hole will give you a clean place to place soil. Use a wheelbarrow to dispose of larger amounts of soil. If you plan on setting a post in concrete, have the mix, water, and mixer nearby. You'll also want two stakes of wood and two lengths of wood (1"x4"x5' or so) for cross-bracing and screws or Duplex nails for fastening. Only dig by hand if you need to. Digging can be a very physically strenuous activity, and you will be better off if you are able to do it with the help of a machine. For the sake of making postholes for example, you can rent and use a power auger. Power augers are used much like a lawnmower. It is a better idea to rent one than buy one yourself. Depending on the inventory of your local hardware store, you should probably have a choice between a one or two-man power auger. Base your decisions around the size and amount of holes you need to make. Talk to someone at the hardware store if you're unsure about the details. If you have to dig many holes (like for a fence), a two-person auger is your best pet. Augers can be extremely difficult for one person to handle and can even be dangerous if you are not familiar with the equipment. Rocky and heavy clay ground can be difficult to dig, even with a gas-powered auger. Get a good digging rock bar and post-hole diggers to help with this type of soil. Follow all safety guidelines when operating any machine. Avoid loose-fitting clothing and wear leather boots and eye and ear protection when operating.

SUMMARY: Call the municipal government to verify digging the area is safe. Spray a hole outline. Gather the right supplies for the job. Use powered equipment if possible.

If you can't find any crackers, you can use biscuits or light-colored cookies (ie: vanilla wafers, sugar cookies, graham crackers, etc.). Don't use chocolate chip cookies or Oreosthose are way too dark! You can use a bowl, sink, plastic bag, or even a toilet. If you want to make more vomit, chew up and spit out more crackers. If you spat the crackers into a toilet, you don't need anymore water. If you spat them into a bowl, bag, or sink, then add in a little water. This makes the vomit look more real. You can also try some white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, apple juice, or even a little milk. Wet cat food or wet dog food work great for this. You can also use a little bit of canned tuna or baby food. It will help make the vomit look (and smell!) more real. You could also chew up some cereal, spit it out, then mix it with vinegar. Add some on the toilet seat. It'll look like you missed! If you used the toilet, don't flush it! If you left it in a bowl or trash bag, you could take it to a parent, guardian, or teacher, and say that you threw up.

SUMMARY:
Chew up some crackers. Spit the crackers into a plastic bag. Add some water, if needed. Add something mushy and smelly. Leave the vomit for someone to find.
