You should buy 1 pound (0.45 kg) of citric acid crystals for your solution, or more if you want it to have a higher concentration. Citric acid crystals are available at many groceries, but it is sometimes called sour salt instead of its scientific name. You can also buy it at chemical stores. You can use more or less water than this if you need to make the solution to be of a lower or higher concentration, but don't alter the amount of citric acid you use.  For a stronger solution, boil 0.5 US pints (240 ml) to 0.75 US pints (350 ml) of distilled water per 1 pound (0.45 kg) of citric acid. This will be better for cleaning and high-intensity uses for the acid. For a weaker solution, boil up to 2 US pints (950 ml) of distilled water per 1 pound (0.45 kg) of citric acid. This can be better for adding to drinks and foods so the flavor is not overpoweringly sour. Slowly but steadily mix the boiling water and citric acid crystals, mixing with a spoon the whole time. Do this too quickly, and you will have a hard time making sure the crystals fully dissolve. Make sure to use a steady stirring motion to ensure that as much citric acid crystals dissolve as possible. Some citric acid crystals may not fully dissolve in the boiling water, and should be removed by placing a coffee filter into a funnel and pouring the solution into a glass container. Discard the undissolved crystals into an acid-proof container. Refrigerate it as long as it takes it to get cool, and you will have a source of citric acid solution for use around the home or in your cooking!

summary: Buy some citric acid crystals from a grocery or chemical store. Boil 1 US pint (470 ml) of distilled water for each 1 pound (0.45 kg) of citric acid. Put your crystals into a glass container, then pour water over them. Pour the solution through a coffee filter to remove impurities and solids. Put the solution into an acid-proof container with a lid, then refrigerate it.

If you are wanting your parents to love you unconditionally, then try to show them the same love and support.  While some families are more affectionate than others, it is important to express your love and caring in ways that work for you and your parents.  Give hugs.  Give kisses. Do what feels comfortable for you. Say, "I love you." Use other words of appreciation such as, "Thank you so much," or, "You're awesome." Help them with things that need to be done, such as chores or running errands. Try to do what you can to make them feel appreciated through your actions. Understand that some days your parents will reciprocate and other days they may not.  Avoid feeling let down if they don't reciprocate sometimes.  Avoid seeing yourself to blame. Treat others as you would like to be treated.  While your parents may not always follow this, avoid becoming upset, mean, or resentful of them.  Focus on being kind to yourself, and in turn being kind to them and others.  The more kindness and love you show, the more likely they are to be appreciated and loved you. Accept that they cannot always show the love that you expect.  Be open to different ways of receiving love and respect.  For example, your dad may not seem to be loving, yet he attends your school events and makes dinner almost every night for you and your family. Think about how "kindness" and "love" are shown in different ways for different people. Ways to show caring include acts of service (fixing the car, doing the dishes); through touch (hugging, kissing, putting your arm around them); words of affirmation (giving compliments, telling them you appreciate them); spending quality time together; giving thoughtful gifts. While you may spend a lot of time in the same place, how much of this is quality, one-on-one time together with your parents?  Think about how your parents are more likely to show they love and care about you if you find ways to connect rather than argue. Consider these activities as a way to spend more time:  Board games, charades, or other social activities Interactive games on the computer or video games that you both can enjoy Playing outside in the backyard, at a park, or in nature

summary: Show you care. Be loving and kind. Spend time with your parents.

The first step in feeding your reptile crickets will be to gather the crickets.  You can buy crickets on-line or from a local pet store, raise them yourself, or capture them from outdoors.  Whichever way you choose, make sure you have enough crickets to feed your particular reptile enough and maintain a good level of nutrition.   You will want to buy house crickets (Acheta domestica) for your reptile. Don't buy too many crickets at once as they may die before your reptile gets a chance to eat them all. You will likely want to have some kind of storage container for your crickets.  A plastic bin with cardboard tubes for the crickets to hide in can work fine. An important part of offering crickets to your reptile is selecting crickets that are a safe size.  Exactly how large the crickets you choose are will depend on how large your reptile is.  Larger reptiles will enjoy larger crickets.  However, smaller reptiles may be injured by larger crickets or may not eat them at all.  Make sure the crickets you are offering are an appropriate size for your reptile.  Your reptile should be able to easily fit a cricket in their mouth. Crickets larger than your reptiles mouth should likely be avoid. If a cricket is larger than the distance between the reptile's eyes, it's too big. In order to provide the best nutrition for your reptile, you will want to dust the crickets in a coating of calcium powder.  This will allow your reptile to get even more nutrition and ensure that they are strong and healthy, reducing the chances of illness or injury occurring.  Always make sure to coat the crickets in calcium powder when feeding your reptile.  This powder can be bought at most pet stores or online. You can put the powder in a simple plastic container.  A tall plastic pitcher can work well. Shake some crickets into the container. Lightly shake the container to coat the crickets in the powder. The crickets should be coated completely in the calcium powder and can then be fed to your reptile. It's a good idea to find a powder that contains both calcium and vitamin D3. Once you've dusted the crickets and selected which ones are an appropriate size for your reptile, you can begin introducing them to your reptile's enclosure.  If you already know how much your reptile generally eats, add only that amount of crickets to the cage.  If you are unsure of how many to add, try adding only a few at a time and waiting to see if your reptile eats them all, before adding more.    Don't dump an uncounted amount of crickets into the reptile's enclosure. You can try adding them one at a time by picking them up with tweezers and placing them in the enclosure.
summary: Buy crickets. Make sure the crickets are the right size. Dust the crickets. Introduce the crickets.
