Q: Vinegar is a good deodorizer for insoles, especially if they have a strong smell. It also kills bacteria and germs. Mix one part white distilled vinegar and one part warm water together in a large bowl or in the sink. Place the insoles in the vinegar and water mixture. Let the insoles soak in the mixture for at least three hours. You can add essential oils like tea tree or pine oil to the mixture if the insoles really smell. Add a few drops of the essential oils to the mixture and let the insoles soak in the mixture. Once the insoles have soaked in the mixture, remove them and rinse them out under running water. Make sure you remove all of the vinegar-water mixture on the insoles. Place the insoles on a towel to dry overnight. You can also dry them by stacking them in a dish rack or by hanging them from a clothesline.
A: Mix equal parts vinegar and water. Soak the insoles in the mixture. Rinse off the insoles. Let the insoles dry overnight.

Q: Take an old wooden stool and purpose it by wrapping the legs with sisal rope. Secure the ends of the rope to the wood with some hot glue. Size and cut a piece of carpet to fit the top of the stool, and secure it with hot glue. Once the hot glue dries, your cat will have endless fun scratching away at the covered stool. If you do not have a wooden stool, visit your local thrift store and purchase an inexpensive one. Your local department store may even have a plastic one to use as an alternative. Put hot glue around the bottom portion of the cone where the triangular point meets the base. Begin wrapping your sisal rope, in a color and thickness of your choosing, around the cone on top of the glue. Continue laying a foundation of glue along the cone and wrapping it with the rope until the entire cone is covered. Then, allow it to dry for 1-2 hours before letting your cat scratch it.  Purchase a rubber traffic cone in the sports section of your local department store or online with major retailers. Sisal rope can be purchased at a local hardware or craft store. Consider spray-painting the traffic cone your favorite color before wrapping it with rope. This way any portion of the cone that is visible will be aesthetically pleasing.
A: Wrap a wooden stool with rope to create a sturdy, long-lasting scratching post. Turn a traffic cone into a lightweight scratching post for small living spaces.

Q: With weight loss or weight gain, it's helpful to set reasonable and realistic goals.  With weight gain, you'll want to aim for a gain of about a half to one pound each week.  That means in a two month time span you could gain anywhere from 5-10 pounds. You may also want to set smaller, more frequent goals along the way to let you know how well you're progress is going.  For example if you want to gain 1 pound per week, but you're only gaining a 1/2 pound per week, you can readjust your meal plan and calorie goal to help you increase your weight gain. If you need to gain more weight than that you'll most likely need to readjust your goal timeline to allow for further weight gain. Food journals will be very helpful when you're trying to gain weight.  They will serve as a guide when planning your goals and if you need to make any changes.  Track all the foods you eat each day.  Include all meals, snacks and beverages in one day. Try to be as accurate as you can.  You may need to use a food scale or measuring cups to help keep you on track. Also keep track of your total caloric intake each day.  This will help you if you need to make changes to your calorie level. Keeping track of how much weight you've gained will be incredibly important.  If you don't keep track it'll be difficult to tell how much you've gained and if you've met your goal.  Get on the scale about 1-2 times per week.  Weight gain happens more slowly than weight loss, so more frequent weighing will not be useful. For the most accurate weight, try to get on the scale the same day of the week and at the same time. Keep track of your weight and progress in your food journal.
A: Set reasonable goals. Start a food journal. Track your weight.

Q: Enter the date you broke the record and the city, county, and country you broke it in. Add a detailed description of how and where you broke the record, and choose from the drop-down menu what your purpose for breaking the record was. Depending on your record, you may be prompted to enter in a measurement. For example, if you broke the record for owning the largest doll collection, you’d need to enter how many dolls you own into the measurement field. You’ll be prompted to select standard or priority on the “choose an application option” page that comes up after you submit your application. A standard application is free and has a processing time of up to 12 weeks, meaning you could wait 12 weeks before you hear back from anyone. A priority application costs $800 USD (£500) and has a processing time of 5 working days. Click on the yellow “proceed” button below the option you’re interested in. If you submitted a standard application, you should hear back about your record within 12 weeks. If you submitted the priority application, you should hear back within 5 working days. If your application is accepted, you’ll receive an email prompting you to download the “Guidelines and Evidence Requirements” from your Guinness World Records profile. Submit all of your evidence online through your Guinness World Records profile. The “Guidelines and Evidence Requirements” you downloaded on your profile will specifically lay out what you need to submit. Different types of records require different forms of evidence, but all record attempts require:   A cover letter: You’ll have to fill out the Guinness World Records cover letter form, explaining what record you broke and how you broke it.   Two witness statements: You must have two people, not related to you in any way, witness your record attempt. They each have to sign a witness statement and submit it with your evidence.   A schedule 2 form: By signing the schedule 2 form, you agree to release to Guinness World Records all of the evidence you’re submitting for your record attempt. If your evidence is approved and your attempt at breaking a record is deemed a success, you’ll officially be a Guinness World Records record holder! As a record-holder, you will receive an official certificate from Guinness World Records featuring your name and the record you broke.
A:
Fill out the application for the record you’ve chosen. Submit your application as standard or priority. Wait for Guinness World Records to review your application. Submit the necessary evidence to prove you broke a record. Wait to hear if your record attempt is approved.
