Q: This will help loosen the pulp and strings from the seeds, making it easier to clean them. Hold the colander full of seeds under the running water, using your hands to move the seeds around gently. Once the seeds are mostly clean, take them out of the colander and set them on a clean kitchen towel. If there are any big strings still attached to the seeds, pull these off if possible. You can also place the seeds on paper towels, though they may stick.
A: Set the seeds in a colander and rinse them under cold water. Pull the seeds out of the colander and place them on a towel.

Q: Now's the time to make exchanges, get your dress altered, or change your mind about what shoes to wear. Don't wait until the week of prom to make big changes in your wardrobe. You'll have enough to worry about that week! It sounds like a pain, but it is worth it to confirm them. A week or so ahead of prom, call all the places you made appointments or reservations to double check they still have you booked for the right day and time. Rather than scrambling to fill up your purse right before prom, it's better to have everything you need ready to go a few days in advance. Pack your bag with essentials you'll need at dinner and afterward. If you're spending the night out, you may need to pack a second bag with necessities you'll need for spending the night. To pack in your purse: your invitation, lipstick, small perfume bottle, small bottle of moisturizer, travel size hairspray, extra bobby pins, cell phone charger, keys, and a wallet. To pack in your overnight bag: nightclothes, toiletries, hanger and dress bag for your prom dress, change of clothes for the next morning. You want to look and feel your best on prom day, so it's important to be healthy the day before. To avoid feeling bloated, sick or tired, do the following: Drink tons of water to stay hydrated. Eat fruits and veggies. Get a full night's sleep. Do at least half an hour of exercise. Go to your nail appointment or give yourself a manicure. You want to give yourself plenty of time to exfoliate, shave, and moisturize. Wake up several hours before your first appointment so you won't end up having to rush. Exfoliate your skin until it's soft and gleaming using either a body scrub or a loofah. Don't forget your shoulders, back and arms. Shave your legs, bikini area, armpits and so on. Moisturize your skin with a rich moisturizer so it's soft all day. Use a pumice stone on your feet to make them smooth. Give yourself a quick facial to brighten your face. You might want to put an extra top coat on your nails to keep them from getting chipped. If you're getting your hair done and makeup done, go to your appointments before putting on your prom dress and accessories. Wear comfortable clothes that are easy to pull over your head without messing up your hair. Remember to bring pictures of the looks you want so your stylists won't have trouble making you look just right. If you ordered a boutonniere or corsage, don't forget to pick it up. Some people like to get ready with their friends, while others prefer to do it on their own at home. Either way, it's finally time to wear that dress that's been hanging in your closet! Put everything on and give yourself a once over in the mirror before you head out. Ask a friend to check you from the back to make sure there are no loose threads or strands of hair that need to be fixed. Double check your bag to make sure you have everything you need for the night. Make sure your cell phone is fully charged. All your hard work is now falling into place, so relax and enjoy the night. Even if you experience a hitch in your plans, try to go with the flow. So what if the limo is late, your hair comes a little loose or the corsage your date gives you doesn't match your dress? What matters now is having the time of your life, so let loose and enjoy it.
A: Try on your dress with all your accessories a few weeks early. Confirm all of your appointments. Pack your bag with stuff to bring with you. Start your beauty regimen the day before prom. Wake up early and take a shower or bath the morning of prom. Go to your appointments. Finish getting ready. Enjoy your prom!

Q: Before inducing vomit, make sure it is the right thing to do. If your dog swallowed any of the following substances, you should induce vomiting at home: Antifreeze, if your dog swallowed it in the past two hours Chocolate Grapes or raisins Tylenol or Aspirin Plants, such as azaleas and daffodils If your dog is laying on its bed or on the carpet, you'll want to move your dog somewhere else before inducing vomiting. For example, take your dog outside or move your dog to an area where cleaning up vomit will be easy, like a room with linoleum flooring. If your dog is weak, it may not be able to walk easily on its own. You may need to carry your dog or at least help it walk to where you want it to go. At first, it may seem strange to feed your dog to get it to vomit. However, feeding your dog a little food can actually increase the chances of vomiting. A small portion of canned food or a slice of plain bread are good food choices. Canned food will be easy for your dog to eat and is tastier than dry food. Your dog may not want to eat on its own. If this happens, try putting the food directly in your dog's mouth to get it to eat. Do not spend a lot of time trying to get your dog to eat. This is very important! Do not try to get your dog to vomit before calling your vet or animal poison control center. When you call, provide as much information as possible so they can instruct you on what to do (and what not to do) next. Important information includes: What you think your dog ingested (toxic plant, house cleaning product, chocolate) How long you think it's been since your dog ingested the toxin Your dog's symptoms Your dog's size If your vet or poison control center says it's okay to induce vomiting, give your dog 3% hydrogen peroxide, which is available at your local pharmacy. It is the preferred vomit-inducing product for dogs. Give your dog one teaspoon hydrogen peroxide per 10 pounds (4.5 kg) of body weight. Use a measuring spoon to measure the right amount of hydrogen peroxide. Draw up the hydrogen peroxide into an ear or eye dropper. Drop the measured amount of hydrogen peroxide as far back on your dog's tongue as you can. Do not mix hydrogen peroxide into your dog's food or water before drawing it up in the dropper. Walking can stimulate vomiting by letting your dog's stomach contents mix with the hydrogen peroxide. Walk your dog for a few minutes. If your dog isn't up to walking, gently shake or move its belly. After being given hydrogen peroxide, dogs usually vomit within a few minutes. If your dog does not vomit after 10 minutes, give it another dose of hydrogen peroxide. Some sources say not to give a dog more than two doses of hydrogen peroxide. Others say up to three doses is acceptable. Before giving a third dose, call your vet.
A: Determine if your dog needs to vomit. Move your dog to a different area. Feed your dog a small meal. Call your vet or animal poison control center. Determine how much 3% hydrogen peroxide your dog will need. Administer the hydrogen peroxide. Walk your dog. Wait for your dog to vomit.

Q: Go for a jog. Don't step on any cracks in the pavement. Grass is now hot lava. Choreograph a dance to your favorite song...even if it's only in your head. Bonus points if you actually do the dance. Balance on one leg for as long as you can. Then do the other.
A:
Start moving.
