I agree with you.
Why do you want a SO, when you do not spend any time with her/him? You can't have both ways. Either the SO is important, then you should sacrifice time to spend together. After all, that is what relationships are about.
Or it's not. Then you might be better off single.
* in all the microwaves i've seen, you can stop the turning of the tray by removing the small plastic thing below.
* use a large bar of chocolate instead: you can see immediately where it melts first - but don't wait to long, or the chocolate will burn (nasty smell).
Hello, i have done various things like this both for kids (8 - 12) and older girls (16+).
First, one has to discern whether you have to attract the kids (say on a fair) or if they are there already (for an afternoon @ college, school, youth club). I guess you are aking about the later case. There, you do not need too many loud exploding never-seen-before things to attract them, just some teazers to keep their attention.
It is certainly important to show them spectacular events, but you should not forget that the essence of science is both surprise and understanding. So choose (at least) some things that they can easily understand (but keep the math out unless asked), and some experiments they can perform themselves. They get to watch enough in the schools already. I've seen that they enjoy *doing* things most.
Good suggestions can be found at the exploratorium:
In our afternoons, we usually feed them vacuumized sweets (alltime favorite), especially marshmellow mice work well, because they won't become sticky.
Maybe one last suggestion: try not to mix children with and without physics classes in school: it makes explaining much harder, if some shout all the time - but we've heard this before...:/
Cheers
