Q: When people grow up feeling unloved, they often look for the affection and acceptance they didn’t get during their childhood, from their spouses. If the affection isn’t met, they often believe that the other person doesn’t care about them. Even if it’s something as small as not answering the phone right away, the needy person often becomes paranoid about the relationship and becomes even more clingy.   If you have siblings or other loved ones who experienced the same type of childhood you did, look at how they behave in relationships. If they are also clingy with their spouses or significant others, you likely are the way you are because your emotional and physical needs were not met as a child. Needy people tend to have low self-esteem, just as secure people are typically very self-confident. Often, those who are clingy with their spouses are because they are trying to validate themselves. When they don’t receive the love and affection they seek, they often feel even worse about themselves and become even more clingy.  It’s normal to feel good when your spouse shows affection or tells you they love you. However, if you become crushed or think bad about yourself when they give you less than what you want, it could be because you don’t have enough self-worth. A common trait among those who are clingy in marriages is that they have had failed relationships in the past. Perhaps they were cheated on or were treated poorly. As a result, they become desperate for the love and affection they didn’t receive in the other relationships.  If a person doesn’t have high self-esteem or didn’t have a loving childhood and are needy with significant others, their clinginess could be the reason why their relationships failed. Then in the next relationship, they display the same type of behavior, and may fail in that relationship, as well. Until the problem is resolved, the person may continue to experience the same types of situations.
A: Look at your childhood. Determine your self-worth. Look at your past relationships.

Q: Most modern cameras are tripod-capable, but some smaller cameras are not. The tripod mount is a small hole with screw threads located on the bottom of the camera; it is usually about 1/4 inch in diameter. If your camera isn't tripod-capable, you will be unable to mount it to a tripod. Most small cameras of the "point and shoot" variety have 1/4-20 UNC threads. Some larger, professional cameras may have 3/8-16 UNC threads. Adjust the legs so that they stand stably on the ground. Release the tensioners on the legs, and raise them to the height that you need them. You can technically attach a camera to the tripod before you set up the tripod – but your camera will be safer if you set up the base first. If you extend the legs, check that they are securely locked in place before you mount the camera.  Your tripod does not need to be absolutely level. It should, however, be balanced enough that the tilt isn't noticeable. Leveling is more important if you're taking panoramic shots and stitching multiple frames together into one image. Some tripods feature a built-in bubble level that helps you stabilize the rig. Otherwise, you can always buy or borrow a small level.
A: Check that your camera has a tripod mount. Level the tripod.

Q: Slugs feed off of plants. You can give them leftover fruits and vegetables from your kitchen. You can also give them fresh fruits and vegetables, as long as you rinse them in distilled water first. It's important to remove pesticides before feeding plants to your slugs.  If possible, opt for organic fruits that do not make use of pesticides. In general, feed your slugs more vegetables than fruits. Slugs can die from consuming too much sugar, even natural sugar from fruits. Slugs also feed off of plants they find outside. Add things like old leaves, grass, and other plants you find outside. Slugs feed on decaying plant matter, so if you have a plant that's dying you can feed it to your slug. Slugs may not eat everything you leave for them. Uneaten food, especially fruit, can attract fruit flies. Fruit flies can threaten a slug's health, so remove uneaten food at the end of each day. This will minimize exposure to bugs and keep your slugs safe. Slugs do not need a separate water dish, just a moist environment. You should, therefore, spray the enclosure with a water bottle each day. You should use distilled water, as tap water can be harmful to slugs. It's important to keep a slug's environment moist so they can absorb the water they need.
A: Provide rinsed fruits and vegetables. Add plants and leaves for food. Remove uneaten food every day. Use a spray bottle, not a water dish.

Q: Use a box cutter or utility knife to cut the cardboard down to size. Aim to have about 10 pieces of cardboard in the end, but it’s okay if you have more or less. Place the cardboard pieces in a sanitized 5 US gal (19 L) bucket.  Cardboard egg cartons would also work well for growing the mushrooms. You can sanitize your bucket with a diluted bleach solution. Place a large pot or kettle on the stove until the water boils. Pour the hot water onto the cardboard until it’s completely wet through and submerged. This helps kill any organisms that may contaminate your mushrooms later on.  Push the cardboard down to compact it if you want to use less water. The boiled water will kill any microorganisms on the cardboard in a process called pasteurization. Put a lid on top of the bucket and let it soak overnight. The heat from the water would kill any mushroom spawn, so it needs to rest until it is cool to the touch. Pour the water out of the bucket and drain the rest of the water from the cardboard squares. Start squeezing on 1 side of the square and work your way across. In the end, they should be damp to the touch, but not completely saturated. Wash your hands with antibacterial soap or use hand sanitizer before handling the cardboard so you don’t bring in foreign contaminants. Sprinkle the spawn evenly near the edges of the cardboard square. The king oyster mushrooms prefer to grow from the sides of the cardboard rather than on top of the cardboard. Check your local gardening store to see if they have spawn for king oyster. Otherwise, king oyster mushroom spawn can be purchased online. Continue building layers of the cardboard and spawn until you’re out of cardboard. Don’t place any of the spawn on top of the last piece of cardboard since it will not be covered and may not grow as effectively. You’ll need about 100 mushroom spawn total to grow on 10 layers of cardboard, but you don’t have to be precise with your count.
A:
Cut cardboard into 4 by 4 in (10 by 10 cm) squares and put them in a bucket. Boil water and pour it over the cardboard until it is completely saturated. Cover the bucket and let it cool for 8 hours. Squeeze the cardboard to drain any excess water. Place 10 mushroom spawn on 1 piece of cardboard. Stack the squares on top of one another, placing spawn on each layer.
