Answer:

bottle rockets, get an empty beer bottle, fill it half way with water, set it firmly upright in the ground (maybe bury the bottom 2-3 inches) put the stick end of the bottle rocket in the water and light the fuseStand back!
STICK IT IN A CAN AND LIGHT ITITS NOT THAT HARD.
I can totally relate to this questionI have just started my own small housekeeping Business age 27 i have myself plus one employee (so far) I charge by the hour $20.00 per we only clean at one house (so far) huge million dollar mansion with elevator 5 bedrooms etc etcit takes us 5 hours to clean this house each time and we leave with at least $100.00 each, being that I live in a high end area that is cheap but you always want to charge your 'first customer' the lowest rate (I think)charging a flat rate might not be the best idea because for example: a house that has never had housekeeping may be a lot messier then the ones who have regular service, so you're cleaning and working harder at one house then the other, yet getting paid for the same amount of workyou should check out the newspaper see what ppl are charging for there services then go 5 or more dollars lower then themRemember higher rates can indicate confidence and pride and being too low could mean you don't have much experience and don't Value your self good luck lady I wish you the best.
Put the stick in a bottle and light the fuse, but it's more fun to just light the fuse and throw the rocket.
