Q: If you’re on an online dating site, you know that people you might be interested in can become unavailable really quickly. So if a guy you’re interested in asks you out, respond as quickly as possible. You can say something like in your message back like “Thanks so much for messaging me. I’d love to go out!” For the same reason that you don’t want to wait too long to respond to the date request, you don’t want to wait too long to go out, either – he might get snapped up by someone else. When you message him to accept the date, make a suggestion for a date and time for it. For example, you can say something like “Thanks for asking me out – I’d love to go out! How’s Friday night at 8?” The whole point of a date is to get to know someone better. It can be tempting, once you’ve been asked out, to ask him a bunch of questions. Save it for the date – where it’s easier to read body language and get a sense of what kind of guy he is. Unless you've established that you both love phone conversations, refrain from calling him before the first date except to discuss meeting logistics. You can do this through the dating app or website where you met. Because accepting an online dating request means going out with someone you’ve never actually met, choose a public place to meet. This ensures there are people around during your date should anything go wrong.
A: Respond in a timely manner. Meet quickly. Avoid having extended online conversations. Meet in a public place.

Q: If you want to keep your marble countertop in pristine condition, it’s vital that you wipe up any spills as soon as they happen. Marble is especially sensitive to acidic substances such as coffee, soda, fruit juices, and many common cleaning products. As soon as a liquid comes in contact with your counter, wipe it up with a paper towel, sponge, or soft cloth. Keep a hand towel nearby to ensure quick clean up. If you wipe up a spill and it has already created a stain, remove the stain right then and there. Different kinds of stains require different removal techniques. Make sure you remove the stain quickly and properly.  Remove an oil-based stain with a soft liquid cleanser, liquid detergent, ammonia, or mineral spirits. Remove an organic stain with a mixture of 12% hydrogen peroxide and a few drops of ammonia. Remove water stains with dry steel wool. All of these items create a barrier between your countertop and potentially damaging substances. This will prevent etches, scratches, and burn marks from permanently scarring your marble countertop. If your marble countertop is looking especially dirty, dull, or stained, it might be best to apply a paste-like cleaning agent, such as baking soda, to your entire countertop. Mix the paste and slather it onto the counter evenly with a spatula so that it’s ¼ to ½ inch (0.64-1.27cm) thick. Cover it with plastic wrap and tape down the edges with painter’s tape. Remove the plastic after 24-48 hours, let the paste dry out, and then remove it with a wooden or plastic scraper.
A: Wipe up spills immediately. Remove stains right away. Use cutting boards, coasters, placemats, and trivets. Apply a poultice to your countertop.

Q: Sometimes, the fertilizers we're using are inadvertently attracting dogs to our garden. Changing how and when you use fertilizer can be a great way to discourage dogs from getting into your yard.  Dogs react strongly to new smells and odors, and may be put off if a smell suddenly changes. This can signal to them that another animal has potentially infiltrated their space. Switch up with fertilizers you use periodically to make dogs wary of entering your garden. Organic fertilizers are great, but can sometimes contain smells that attract dogs. Look up information on the fertilizer you're using online to see if anyone has had issues with a particular fertilizer in terms of it attracting dogs. Oftentimes, people are tempted to use rabbit or deer repellents in conjunction with fertilizers to keep dogs at bay. The problem is, such repellents often contain coyote urine and this attracts dogs. Avoid such repellents when trying to keep dogs out of your garden. Dogs are likely to return to the same spot if they believe it's dog friendly. When a dog uses your garden as a bathroom, they leave their scent behind and other dogs assume relieving themselves in this space is okay. Clean the area thoroughly after finding dog feces.   Dog's often pee in the same places they defecate. Dog urine can leave burn marks on grass and plants, so douse the area with a hose shortly after removing the feces. This neutralizes the acidity of the urine and lessens its effect on the garden. You can also rake compost into the area, which contains soil organisms that balance soil biology and chemistry. Just be sure to move any compost bags well out of a dog's reach. Throw any fecal matter into a closed dumpster, after sealing it in a plastic bag. You don't want the smell to attract more dogs to the area. Whether home made or store bought, a variety of repellents cause unpleasant smells and sensations that will discourage unwanted dogs from entering your garden.  Garlic, olive oil, and almond oil have been known to keep dogs away when sprinkled on or around plants or in the soil surrounding a garden.  Ammonium and vinegar provide small smells that drive dogs away. Placing ammonium or vinegar soaked cotton balls around the garden, especially in places where dogs have defecated previously, may be effective in keeping pets out.  Oftentimes, home remedies are hit or miss. There are specially made dog repellents, sold online or at pet stores, that are environmentally safe and not harmful to dogs or other animals. Some can be quite expensive, in the $60 to $70 range, while others sell for about $12.  Some sites recommend citrus and cayenne pepper as a deterrent. This should be avoided. Citrus can be potentially harmful to dogs. While not every dog will have a negative reaction to citrus, it has caused health effects for some dogs in the past so it's best to err on the side of caution. Cayenne pepper causes irritation in a dog's face, skin, and paws. You do not want to inadvertently harm your own dog or a neighbor's dog in attempt to keep them out of the garden.
A:
Manipulate your choice of fertilizers. Clean the area thoroughly. Use repellents to keep dogs out.
