Bring water to a boil and pour it onto the weeds. To prevent splashing and to have more control of the stream, use a tea kettle. Ensure you only pour the water over the weeds, and not plants you wish to keep. If the weeds are near other plants, you can use distilled white vinegar in a garden sprayer to kill weeds. Make sure the vinegar has at least 5% acidity. Vinegar is not a selective herbicide, so it will also kill plants you wish to keep if they are sprayed. Salt will absorb the moisture from the soil and effectively kill the weeds in the area. However, the salt will also affect the surrounding plants that you wish to keep, so use salt sparingly. Salt is a great way to kill weeds in the cracks between pavers and cement slabs as well.

Q: Parakeets love company and will welcome a new friend, especially if you’re often at work. If you decide to buy an additional bird, make sure that the cage is big enough for two parakeets.  Separate the birds at first. Put them in different cages to let them look at each other. Bring the cages closer after a few days. They will get used to each other. After two weeks, put the new bird in the cage of the resident parakeet. Always monitor the reaction. If any conflict occurs, separate the birds and try to reintroduce them again later. If you are often away, your bird might get lonely and depressed. It’s always good to turn on the radio or the TV and provide your bird with entertainment.  You could also record your voice and play it when away. Make sure to put music you like. Your bird might start singing what it heard. If leaving a radio or television talk show on, consider the language being used as your bird may repeat some of the dialogue. Think about the volume. You don't want the sound to be too loud as the bird must be given the opportunity to sleep. Parakeets are playful animals and love toys. You can buy a great variety of them in your favorite pet shop. You should provide an assortment of toys to chew, explore and climb.  Birds need at least one new toy a month. Toys are a necessity, not a luxury, for birds. Rotate toys regularly to keep them fresh and interesting for your bird and allow you time to clean them. Toys will help keep your bird entertained and happy. Try different toys to see which your bird really enjoys. Any metal, except stainless steel isn't safe, because it could contain zinc.  Always check toys for safety, making sure there is no way your bird can get stuck in or on them. Make sure toys are of appropriate size for your bird. Placing the cage near or in a window can provide an entertaining vantage point into the outside world.  Your bird will be able to enjoy watching all the events that take place outside while you are away.  Avoid any windows with direct sunlight.  This can be too hot and too bright for you bird to be comfortable in. Check the window for any cold drafts or air.  If the window allows chilly air to pass through, don't put your bird near it, as cold temperatures can be harmful to it. Make sure your window is shut.  Even if your bird is in a cage, take no risks.  The bird may find a way out, or something could find a way in, if  the window is open.
A: Introduce a new parakeet. Turn on the radio. Provide plenty of toys. Place the cage near a window.

Article: In Spanish feliz and contento can be used pretty much interchangeably. But contento, like its cognate in English, content, is more closely translated to saying someone or something is pleased.   For example, you might ask, ¿Tú estás contento con tus calificaciones?, or “are you happy (pleased) with your grades?”   To be happy (pleased) with something, you would say, Estoy contento(a) con mi nuevo vestido, or “I am happy with my new dress.”  Contentar is also a verb that means to please or satisfy. Feliz is typically used to express a state of being that is not permanent. For example, you might say, Aquí hemos sido muy felices, or “we have been very happy here.”  You could also tell someone that they have made you happy. For example, you might say, Me haces feliz,  or “you make me happy.” You could talk about someone’s disposition being cheerful. For example, you could say, Creo que soy una persona bastante alegre, por lo general, or “I think that I am a pretty happy (cheerful) person, in general.” Because you are saying that you are a cheerful person as a permanent state of being, you use the ser form of I am, soy. You can also say that something someone has done has made you happy. For example, you could say, Me alegro que llegaste temprano, or “I’m glad that you came early.” In this case, alegrar is a reflexive verb that means to cheer up or rejoice. Directly translated it would mean, “it makes me glad that you came early.” But in English we do not use reflexive verbs in the same way, so it makes more sense as “I’m glad.” The word for happiness is felicidad, a feminine noun. The plural of this word is used to say congratulations: ¡felicidades!  To wish someone a Happy Birthday, say ¡feliz cumpleaños!  To wish someone a Merry Christmas, say ¡feliz Navidad!  To wish someone a Happy New Year, say ¡feliz Año Nuevo! Here happy means that you are willing to help. For example, if you want to show your willingness to do something, you might say to someone, Con mucho gusto se lo comprobaré, or “I would be happy to check it for you.”  Se is used here to refer to used. Placer is also a verb that means “to be pleased.” For example, you could say nos place que te quedas aqui which means “it pleases us to have you stay here.” If you have had a good experience, something was to your liking, or you want to say that you enjoyed something, you can use either word. For example:  Me da mucho gusto que... (It gives me much pleasure that...) Es un placer. (It is a pleasure.) Fue un placer. (It was a pleasure.) El gusto es mío. (The pleasure is mine.)
