INPUT ARTICLE: Article: As long as you approach fireflies slowly, they should maintain a calm and graceful flying path – this will make them fairly easy to catch. Once you are close enough to a firefly, calmly reach out with both hands, and try to cup the firefly between your hands. The outsides of your hands should be tightly cupped together when you catch the firefly, but leave enough space between your palms so that you do not crush it. This may take a few tries. Don't get annoyed or overwhelmed, just keep trying. Stay calm and relaxed. You can purchase nets at most home supply stores, or make your own out of a small netting. To catch fireflies with a net, simply flow the net around a firefly inhabited area until you catch one. Keep your movements slow and gentle so that you do not scare or harm the fireflies. Most people end up putting their caught fireflies into mason jars, so skip a step by catching your fireflies in a mason jar. Move slowly and calmly as you move your mason jar through the air to catch fireflies. Once a firefly has flown into the opening of your jar, place the lid on top to keep the firefly inside.

SUMMARY: Catch fireflies with your hands. Use a net to catch fireflies. Catch fireflies with a mason jar.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When one or both of you starts mentioning divorce or separation, it is time to assess your relationship seriously. If you both want to make it work, see a counselor as soon as possible. This advice also applies if arguments are escalating to the point where one of you leaves the house, creating an unplanned, short-term separation. Infidelity does not necessarily lead to divorce, but it can take a lot of time and commitment to work through such a major breach of trust. Professional assistance is recommended in these situations. When couples feel distant, they may start an “emotional affair” where they develop feelings for someone else, even if they do not have a physical relationship. This is a warning that your marriage needs serious work. If one of you is dealing with major depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues, your relationship may suffer. In addition to individual counseling for the person dealing with mental illness, you should check in with a marriage counselor together. People who suffer from a traumatic experience sometimes find that their marriages suffer as a result. Individual therapy may also be needed. Consider seeing a marriage counselor if your relationship has been affected by:  The death of a parent, child, or another close relative A major illness Rape, assault, or another violent experience A home burglary or fire Loss of a job Starting a family is a major adjustment that can throw your relationship off-kilter. A marriage counselor may be helpful if:  You and your spouse have children from other marriages or relationships who are struggling to adjust. You cannot agree on whether you should have children (or more children). You cannot agree on how to raise your children. You disagree about the religion, discipline, or education of your children. You feel you are staying in your marriage “for the children.” If you and your partner are butting heads over spending habits or budgets, a marriage counselor may be a good resource. Marriage counseling can also help your relationship weather financial difficulties, like debt, buying a house, or sending a child to college.

SUMMARY: Find a marriage counselor if a separation seems imminent. Seek counseling if 1 or both of you have been unfaithful. Get help if either person is dealing with mental illness. Consider seeking help after traumatic experiences. Look for a counselor if parenthood is causing tension. Get counseling if you are struggling with finances.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you decide to buy putty instead of making your own, buy name brand Silly Putty or its off-brand equivalent. Silly Putty can be found at craft stores. Instructions for making silly putty are as follows:  To make silly putty, you'll need Elmer's Glue-All Multipurpose Glue, Sta-Flo concentrated liquid starch, a measuring cup, a spoon, and a mixing bowl. Pour the glue into a mixing bowl. The more glue, the more silly putty. Keep track of how much you put in. For example, if you've got a 4-ounce bottle of glue, maybe you'll want to put in half, giving you 2 ounces of glue in the bowl. Use your measuring cup to measure out as much liquid starch as the amount of glue you used. Then pour that liquid starch into the bowl with the glue. Use a spoon to mix and stir together the starch and glue in the bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, take the putty out of the bowl. Knead the putty with your hands for 5 to 10 minutes to make sure there are no inconsistencies in the mix. You can find iron oxide shavings at an art supply store. Use your hands to knead the putty until it's a little softer. Stretch it into a flat shape. You can also use a rolling pin to make it stretch further. Do this on a disposable surface, like newspaper or a paper plate. You don't want to be breathing any of the iron oxide. Also, pop on some rubber or latex gloves to save your hands from getting dirty from handling the iron oxide.

SUMMARY:
Obtain or make silly putty. Buy iron oxide. Stretch out the putty. Put a face mask on and gloves on.
