Advice for women buying a car

Following your research, try to have the money you’re willing to pay on you when you go to the car lot. Let the salesman know you have cash ready to pay. This will change their tune and they’ll be more willing to work with you in negotiating a price.

Give yourself a day or two to decide if that car and that price is what you are willing to go with.

Tips for childproofing your home

Check the walls of your home for chipped or flaked paint. This can lead to lead poisoning if the paint contains lead. Hire a professional to remove it.

Use doorknob covers and hook-and-eye locks on doors to keep children out of certain rooms. Also, keep items children can’t touch – such as framed photos, fine china and jewelry – in these “off-limit” rooms.

Home remedies for Candida

As a part of your regular diet, yogurt can help prevent the growth and spread of yeasts that would lead to an infection.

Another suggestion has been to soak a tampon in curds and insert it into the area twice a day.

(Cut from the paragraph discussing an alternative to eating yogurt) These (acidophilus) pills are available from your local health food store and they act as a stronger force compared to yogurt in going straight to the infected area to do what it does best.

(Cut from the paragraph on buttermilk): Not only is it good for you but it has been reported to prevent the onset of a yeast infection.

Fun things to do on a second date

Play pool.
Why it rocks: You get to see how you both socialize with others in a public setting, have fun together and invite playful moments.

Take a hike.
Why it rocks: You both get to enjoy the outdoors, see how you handle emergencies or unique situations should they happen, and show off your physical agility.

Have a picnic.
Why it rocks: You get to have some cuddle time enjoying foods you both like, or even trying out new kinds of foods and showing off any of your culinary skills, and you get to take in a great view while having a chance to talk.

Go boating.
Why it rocks: If you’re a skilled boater, you get to show off just how well you can handle a boat. If not, a boat tour is a great chance to cuddle together while enjoying aquatic beauty and having time to talk in a comfortable, quiet environment. And it’s just the two of you on one boat.

Go fishing.
Why it rocks: If nothing else, fishing is a great way to get in some quiet time to just download or talk. It’s also a great chance to show how well you can work together, tolerate frustrations (every fishing expedition has one), and be creative in figuring out where to fish.

Areas of interest in Alaska

From this paragraph:

"Alaska is famous for its national parks. Some of their parks include the Denali National Park, Glacier Bay National Park, Kenai Fjords National Park, Kluane National Park and Wrangell St. Elias National Park."

I deleted the sentence: "You are bound to find many which offer wildlife attractions, mountains and aquatic areas to enjoy."

From this paragraph:

"The Elmendorf State Fish Hatchery, also in Anchorage, is another great destination. Operated by the state’s fish and game department, it offers salmon viewing in late May through July, as well as August through mid-September."

I deleted the sentence: "This is more of an ideal place to visit if you’re into fishing and the outdoors."

Changed "In addition to displaying everything about this state’s history" to just "additionally."

Got rid of the crutch words like "definitely" and "just."

Changed "The Alaska SeaLife Center in Seward is one place you won’t want to leave off your itinerary" to "Don't leave the Alaska SeaLife Center off your itinerary." The revised sentence seems to be more active.

REASON FOR CUTTING: Word count limit and poor writing.
