Problem: Article: However, make it clear that you don't want to feel pressured to take sides.  Ask your parents to refrain from making disparaging comments about your other parent. However, since you are older and less impressionable, this may not be as big of an issue. You'll need to work this out for yourself. Discuss this approach with your siblings. Remember that previous divorces, especially where there were custody battles, may have made your parents bitter and offensive about the divorce process. They may have experienced divorce as children, and therefore have certain worries and fears about their own divorce based on that childhood experience. Ask your siblings to do the same. Ask that everyone remain calm and accepting of what is happening; remind people that this intimate relationship is between two people and as much as all of you might want things to be different, it is inappropriate for any of you to goad your parents into legal spats. You may be needed to help sort and move property. You may be needed for moral support. You and your siblings may need to help a parent arrange for lawn care, help with laundry, etc. if that was something your other parent maintained.  After divorce, the status of these documents changes and they must be updated for the protection of all concerned. Your parents may have avoided that conversation with you since you were the child and assumed the spouse would take care of those arrangements.  Find out where your parents want to be buried. Ask if there are family burial plots that have been purchased. If the divorce will exclude a parent from the plot ask the parent where he/she would like to be buried. If either parent has medical problems you should try to attend a doctor's appointment with that parent. Get an understanding of the condition, the medications and make sure the doctor's office changes the next of kin listed on the file. Make sure you spend time with each parent and do your best not to exclude the other parent from holiday plans or other events.  Perhaps move family gatherings to your home or siblings house instead of your parents' home. If you do visit a parent who doesn't cook, offer to cook something there or make it potluck. Consider having your mother over for lunch on a holiday and your father over for dinner.
Summary: Let your parents know that you will be as supportive as you can. Keep in mind prior experiences. Don't encourage aggressive legal behavior. Ask how you can help. Ask if you and/or your siblings need to attend meetings with attorneys or financial planners. Suggest that your parents revise their wills, medical powers of attorney, etc. Discuss with your parents any medical wishes or other long term care details that would have previously been the decision of the spouse. Discuss holiday plans, events for the grandchildren and other family gatherings with your siblings. Plan a trip or vacation with one or both of your parents that may allow them to try something new.

Problem: Article: Rinse the fruit under cool, running water, scrubbing it gently with your fingers to remove any visible dirt or debris. Pat the fruit dry with a clean paper towel when finished. For small vine fruits, like berries or grapes, you could place the fruit in a colander and rinse it that way. Most tree and bush fruits need to be cut into slices roughly 1⁄8 to 1⁄4 inch (0.3 to 0.6 cm) thin, but many small vine fruits (berries and grapes) can be left whole.  Grapes or berries with inner seeds might need be sliced in halves and de-seeded.  You should also trim away any stems or leaves at this time. The fruit slices should be in an even, single layer and should not touch each other.  If using a dehydrator, place the fruit on a dehydrator tray instead of using a parchment-lined cooking sheet. If rack drying outdoors, place the fruit on your drying rack instead of using a cooking sheet.
Summary: Wash the fruit. Cut larger fruit into into very thin slices. Lay fruit on a parchment covered cooking sheet.

Problem: Article: Use a sanding sponge to sand away the loose particles around the edges of the dent. Run the sanding sponge over the dent itself to create a rough surface that the joint compound, which is used to fill the dent, will be able to adhere to easily. Dip a joint knife sideways into the container of joint compound and load about half of the blade. Run the knife over the dented area to smooth on the joint compound. Turn the blade at a 90 degree angle to the wall and run it over the area again to remove excess compound.  Be sure to remove the extra compound, so that the area won't have bumps once the the substance dries. Check the area it it dries to determine if the dent has been completely filled. You may need to apply a second coat if the joint compound shrinks as it dries. Use a sponge sander or another fine sander to gently blend the area with the surrounding wall space after the joint compound has completely dried. You can also use a dampened sponge to smooth the edges. Joint compounds are relatively porous, so it's necessary to prime the repaired area before you paint it. Otherwise, the paint will look different from the surrounding area.  Use a primer that matches the paint color. If possible, use the same one you originally used to paint the wall. If you have paint that also acts as a primer, priming the wall first isn't necessary. Once the primer is dry, use a soft cloth to paint over the area with the wall paint. Work gently and use strokes similar to the strokes you used to paint the surrounding wall so that the paint will look blended after it has dried.
Summary: Sand down the  edges. Apply joint compound. Sand the area. Prime the area. Paint over the repair.

Problem: Article: Pepper plants like heat, but they need moist soil. Water your sweet pepper plants several times a week throughout the summer. Daily watering may be necessary during particularly dry, hot spells. You can help keep the soil moist by mulching it with grass clippings.  Water near the roots, rather than showering the water from overhead. This prevents the leaves from getting burned by the sun. Water in the morning, rather than at night. This way the water will be absorbed during the day. Watering at night leaves the plants prone to mold growth. This will help the plants produce large, healthy peppers. Hoe around the plants to keep weeds away. Be careful and do not hoe too deeply, or you may cut into the roots of your pepper plants. You may also pull the weeds by hand. Be sure to discard the weeds in a separate area so they don't drop seeds and grow back. Pepper plants are susceptible to aphids and flea beetles. If you see pests on your plants, pick them off and drop them in a pail of soapy water. You can also spray them off using a strong stream from your garden hose. As a last resort, spray your plants with pesticides, making sure they're safe for use on vegetables. If you're dealing with a big pest problem, you can cuff the plants. Arrange a piece of cardboard in a circular fashion around the stem of each plant. Make sure the cardboard sticks into the soil about an inch deep, and rises up several inches. This will prevent insects from climbing up the stems. Place a garden stake next to the main stem and fasten the stem to it loosely with twine. This will help the plant grow upright and keep the peppers from growing against the ground. The peppers are ready to cut when they're bright and color and look fully ripe. When the peppers have reached the correct shape, color and size, harvest them by cutting them off with a knife. The plant will now be free to produce new fruit.
Summary:
Keep the soil moist. Fertilize the plants after they fruit. Weed the pepper plants often. Monitor the plants for pests. Stake the plants if they get heavy. Pull or cut the peppers off when they mature.
