Q: This is the stock the rest of the stew will be cooked in.
A: Clean the shellfish in cold water, discarding any open shells. Scrub away any sand or salt from their shells and trim away any beards. Set the shellfish in cold, salted water for 5 minutes. Drain the shellfish. Put the shellfish on ice until you’re ready to add them to the stew. Remove the shells from the shrimp. Cut the vein from the backs of each shrimp with a sharp knife and discard the waste. Set the shrimp on ice with the shellfish. Sauté the onions, garlic and parsley in butter inside a large stock pot until the onions are translucent. Add tomatoes, clam juice, herbs and spices and wine to the stock pot. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer the pot for 1 hour, or until the sauce thickens. Add in the fish and shellfish to the broth. Cook it for 5 to 7 minutes until the shellfish open and the shrimp are easily cut. Remove the stew from the heat and serve it immediately.

Q: Try to avoid acidic fruits like citrus as this will give you stomach pains, stick to watery things, e.g. melon, watermelon, cucumber. Add some milk and oats, but go very easy on the oats. Depending on the length of your fast, you cannot handle too much food.
A: Make a fruit and/or veg smoothie on the first day. Drink more home made smoothies on the second day, and try some light soup. Start eating solids again on day three; stick to fruits and vegetables. Continue with the fruit and veg, gradually eating more and more in one day. Eat some dry toast and a bowl of oatmeal with raisins and nuts when you feel ready to reintroduce them. Reintroduce the rest of your everyday foods slowly- in reverse of how you prepared works fairly well. Visit a doctor for a quick checkup when you are eating normally again, just to make sure you haven't damaged yourself.

Q: This variation adds an extra challenge to Hide and Go Seek. You have your seeker and your hiders -- but the hiders don't only just hide, they have to get back to home base, too. Without getting tagged! So while the seeker is seeking, they have to come out of hiding, risking their safety. It's like Hide and Go Seek: The Intense Version.  The hiders don't have any way of knowing what's going on in the game. Another element to this version can be that all the hiders have to get back to home base before everyone else is tagged. Or they're out! Instead of those poor lil' hiders that have been found just milling around doing nothing, have them assigned as additional seekers once they've been tagged. All of a sudden it's 4 people looking for one person -- where could they possibly be?   Still start with one "It," starting the game the same way -- just have the first ones found team up to help look, too. Or have a couple seekers from the get-go! The first person tagged is still "It" for the next round, they just get to practice their seeking skills this round, speeding up the rest of the game. This makes the game even spicier. As players get found, they have to go to "jail." Generally this is a specific room, porch, or just designated area. The object of the game is for the seeker to put everyone in jail. However, those not in jail can free the ones in jail! They just have to get to jail without being tagged. Pressure's on!  Once someone is freed from jail, they can either go hide again or sit out the rest of the round, enjoying their freedom. If someone frees a few people in jail but some are still hiding, the same principles apply. Of course, you can add any flavor you like! This is technically hide and seek -- only backwards! You have only one person hiding and everyone trying to find them. But when they do find them, they hide with them in the same place! So by the time the last person finds them, what they're really finding is a pile of smushed people. Kind of like a can of sardines!  Oh, and play in the dark! It's much, much more fun that way. When you find someone, ask them "Are you the sardine?" And if they tell you yes, they are, join 'em! . This is like jailbreak, but team style. You have two teams (preferably of 4 or more) and they're each assigned a home base. The teams go hide around the other team's home base and try to make it back to theirs. When everybody makes it back home without being tagged, they win.  This is best played in really, really large areas, like parks. And if it's nightfall, even better! Just make sure no one gets lost and you can communicate. People have to know when the game is over!
A: Play with a home base. Play with multiple taggers. Play jailbreak. Play sardines. Play manhunt

Q: Using a paper towel (or a cloth towel that you can discard), press down on the spot where your cat urinated to blot up the liquid. Repeat this method until the area is mostly dry.  If the spot has happened a while ago, you can skip this step. If you have a blacklight, you can use this to find old, dried cat urine. You can purchase an enzyme-based cleaner specifically formulated for pet stains in many pet stores and online. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Most pet enzyme cleaners can be applied liberally to the affected area and left to dry completely. If the enzyme product did not completely remove the smell, you can try using a vinegar solution. Mix equal parts of white vinegar and water and apply this to the affected area. Vinegar will further breakdown the smell and help it to dissipate. Pour the vinegar solution directly onto the soiled area. Using a scrub brush, work the vinegar solution into the stain. Use a paper towel or old rag to blot up as much of the mixture as you can. Allow the area to dry completely, then assess if the stain is cleaned, or if further action is necessary.
A:
Blot up the urine if it's still wet. Use an enzyme-based cleaner. Create a vinegar solution from equal parts vinegar and water. Scrub the vinegar into the stain. Allow the vinegar solution to sit for 10-15 minutes, then blot.
