100 g or more crystal powder (If you want to grow a big crystals, you should have more than 100 g) 100 ml distilled water (or boiled water) Filter paper 2 clean jars. Do not taste or touch the crystals, or the substances used for making the crystals. Some are highly toxic (potassium dichromate, potassium nitrate or iodine compounds).   Don't worry if the powder wasn't all dissolved. You should keep the powder on the filter paper. Cover the jar with something, such as a layer of wax paper or a lid or maybe a filter paper. Otherwise, the solution may attract some impurities from the air and then it will grow many "parasitic" crystals. Don't put the jar on a heat source. A big crystal isn't going to grow all of a sudden. Wait a while. The next time you take a look at your crystals, you'll see that there have grown many crystals. Choose one that you like (a seed) and put the remaining crystals where you put the remaining powder.  If you want to grow many little crystals quickly, you can heat the water. However, if you want to grow big nice crystals, you shouldn't do that, as it won't work for a large crystal. If you want to grow a little crystal quickly, you can put a little "crumb" from the powder as the seed. Then put your little crystal into the solution. (You may do this every time you see little crystals.) When you see that in the jar isn't enough solution to cover the whole crystal, make some new solution as you have made the first one (I mean make the solution in a clean jar, filter it and then fill the jar that have you're crystal).  Growing crystals takes a lot of time, so be patient. They take at least a few days. If you have some small crystals sticking out of your crystal, put your crystal in water and leave it there until you don't see any more small crystals. Crystals are fragile and break easily. Move the jar with care.

Summary: Gather the necessary items to create the crystals.To make crystals you need very few things: Note from the outset: Mix the crystal powder and the water. Stir until the powder stops dissolving. Filter the obtained solution. Place the solution in a clean jar after it is filtered. Let the solution sit for a while. Filter the solution again. Add new solution when needed.


If you're trying to focus, stay away from social media altogether. If you are temporarily ignoring your sibling, most websites, including Facebook, let you keep people's posts off of your feed without needing to unfriend them. Unfriending on social media can cause drama that strains relationships in real life. Leave that as a last resort for long-term or permanent issues. If you see your sibling's phone number pop up when your cell phone rings, let it go to voicemail. Avoid hitting the "Silence" button, as in many cases the caller will know you did so. If your sibling leaves a message, be sure to listen as soon as possible in case of an emergency. Unless your sibling has seriously wronged you, don't ignore text messages completely. However, you don't have to reply to them immediately. Make your own messages short and to the point.

Summary: Unfollow your sibling on social media. Avoid answering the phone. Keep text messages brief.


This may seem counter-intuitive to getting rid of someone, but the fact is that if you don’t answer the door, they are likely to mark you as “not home” and return in the near future.  If you truly want to be rid of them, you will need to answer the door and let them know. It sounds rude, but doesn’t have to be.  They are likely to delve right into their script and it will only become harder to get a word in.  Politely interrupt to take control of the conversation.  When a Jehovah’s Witness starts talking, interrupt with a polite, “Excuse me” to get their attention. Try raising your hand an holding it between the two of you at chest level with your palm facing the other person and begin your interjection with, “Hold on.” If you wait until the Jehovah’s Witness asks a question, you can simply reply with, “I’d rather not have this conversation.” If you make up a reason for not wanting to talk to them, they may see this as an invitation to come back at another time.  This also initiates a conversation.  Be honest and direct with your response in order to get your point across and avoid one of their conversation starters. Avoid making up excuses.  They are trained to respond to specific protests, and may consider returning in the future if you are just too busy right now. Choose very few words to decline their invitation to talk.  It is unnecessary to be rude, and arguing will only spur on the conversation.  A simple, polite decline will do the trick.  Once you have a chance to speak, try a simple, “No thank you.” You can also be direct saying, “I’m not interested, thanks.” Don’t slam it in their face, but understand that they have been trained to keep the conversation going.  Once you have declined, close the door gently.  This is important, because, like telemarketers or any solicitor, they are not likely to accept the first, “no” and will do their best to reengage you.  Closing the door may be the only way to end the conversation. If this feels rude to you, try saying, “sorry” as you close the door.

Summary: Answer the door. Interrupt them. Be honest. Politely decline. Close the door.


There are a variety of health benefits to your kitten if you get it spayed or neutered. These benefits, in spite of the difficulty of surgery, make getting your kitten fixed worth the discomfort it may experience. For example, spayed cats will not suffer from ovarian or uterine cancer, or uterine infections, later in life. Getting a kitten spayed or neutered doesn't just affect the cat. It also can have a positive impact on you and your family. For example, spaying and neutering your kitten will eliminate the chances of an accidental pregnancy, which in turn will eliminate the chances of you having to deal with a litter of additional kittens. Spayed and neutered cats are also less likely to fight. This means that in a multi-cat household, female cats that are spayed are more likely to get along and male cats are likely to be less aggressive and less territorial. For male cats, this means they are less likely to spray in your home to mark their territory. Stopping your kitten from reproducing in the future helps to limit the pet population overall. Fewer cats that are capable of reproduction means that fewer cats can be produced overall. Also, if you are debating whether or not to have your kitten fixed, just remember that any kittens your kitten has in the future will take homes away from cats that live in shelters and that don't have families. In many cases, these cats are even put down due to a lack of space and resources.
Summary: Consider the benefits to your kitten. Consider the benefits to your household. Consider the benefits to society.
