INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This will be uncomfortable for the both of you and it will not help you move on after your break up. Make it clear to your ex that you wish to put some distance between the two of you. Sometimes, former partners think they can stay friends. While this might be possible down the road, the weeks and months immediately following your break up are not good times to keep in touch. If Sunday brunch with your ex-girlfriend's mom was on your schedule permanently, you will have to cancel and fill that time slot with something else. It is over, so it was not the perfect fairy tale you might be imagining now. If you really want to move on, you cannot be Facebook friends.

SUMMARY: Try not to call, text, message or follow your ex. Discontinue talking or getting together with your ex's family members. Stop romanticizing the relationship. Delete him or her from all your social networking contacts.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Set your stovetop to medium heat. This recipe calls for one tablespoon (14.79 mL) of butter, or about 1/8 of a stick of butter. Add your butter to the pan. Let it melt completely before adding the mustard seeds. Listen up, because once your mustard seeds start sputtering in the pan you're ready to move on to the next step. Add your curry leaves and green chilies first, letting the curry leaves wilt a bit. Then, sprinkle in your asafoetida powder and your chopped coriander. Continue stirring as you add in your chopped onions. Continue stirring constantly to ensure your ingredients do not stick to the pan. Do not let your onions turn brown. Once the onion has become translucent, you are ready for the next step.

SUMMARY: Heat the butter and mustard seeds in the pan. Stir-fry your curry leaves, green chilies, asafoetida powder, coriander, and onions. Mix in your chopped garlic.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Get a hand vacuum for the pool at your local pool supply store or online. The vacuum attaches to your skimmer box to create suction. You then push the vacuum around the surface of the pool with a pole to suck up dirt and debris. A good hand vacuum of the pool will take 1 to 1.5 hours. Get in the habit of cleaning the pool at least 2 times a week, especially if your pool is outdoors and uncovered. You can also buy a mechanical pool cleaner that works on its own to suck up debris and dirt. Look for a suction pool cleaner at your local pool supply store or online. Run the mechanical pool cleaner at least twice a week to keep the pool clean. You can also invest in a pressure cleaner or a robot cleaner for the pool, though they will be more expensive. Your salt water pool should have a pump, skimmer, and filter in it to help keep it clean. Make sure you run these components in the pool at all times to help suck up dirt and debris. Check the pump, filter, and skimmer once a week to ensure they are not blocked or clogged by debris. Use a hose to blast away any dirt or debris. You can also put the pool components under running water to clean them. Clean the pump, filter, and skimmer after a big storm or a large party in the pool, as there will likely be more debris in the pool that can clog these components. The salt in the pool water can build up in the generator cell, causing scaling or crystallizing. Get in the habit of cleaning the generator cell in the pool so it is not clogged and can work properly. Use a high pressure hose to blast off the build up on the cell. You can also scrape off salt build up with a wooden or plastic tool. If the build up is really stubborn and hard to get off, you can soak the cell in 4 parts water and 1 part muriatic acid. Allow the cell to soak for a few minutes and then rinse it off with water.

SUMMARY: Remove surface dirt and debris with a hand vacuum twice a week. Get a mechanical pool cleaner. Run the pump, skimmer, and filter in the pool at all times. Clean the pump, filter, and skimmer once a week with water. Clean the generator cell every 3 months.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The most important part of caring for a wound is following your doctor's instructions. If you have not yet seen a doctor for a wound, then do so as soon as possible. Your doctor may advise you to: Keep your wound clean and dry. Cover your wound when you bathe or shower to avoid getting it wet. Clean your wound with soap and water or with a special wound cleaner. Replace your bandages regularly and when they become dirty or wet. Use an antimicrobial hand soap and warm water, and wash your hands for 15 to 30 seconds. Always wash your hands before and after cleaning the wound. Avoid touching the wound unless you're cleaning it, and never scratch it if it's itchy. If your doctor has advised you to soak your wound in a saline solution a certain number of times each day, then make sure that you do so. If not, then do not do this. Remove its dressing and soak a healing or closed infected wound in a container of warm saline solution for 20 minutes. If it's not easy to soak the wound in a bowl, cover the wound with a clean cloth soaked in saline solution for 20 minutes. You can create your own saline solution by mixing two teaspoons of salt with one quart (about a liter) of warm water. If you wouldn't drink the water you're using to clean the wound, you shouldn't use it. You can use distilled or filtered water, and heat it with salt on the stove. You can also just boil tap water and let it cool until it's safe to use. Dab an antibacterial cream onto a cotton swab, taking care not to let the tip of the nozzle touch the swab. Use enough cream to apply a thin coating over the entire wound. Use a fresh swab if you need to squirt more ointment from the bottle. Use an over the counter cream if you haven't been prescribed one from your doctor. You can also ask your pharmacist to recommend an over the counter antibiotic ointment. When it comes to treating wounds and skin infections, rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide actually do more harm than good. Both interfere with the processes of healing and fighting infection. They dry your skin and kill white blood cells, which your body uses to kill the germs that cause infection. After cleaning the wound and applying ointment, use a clean cloth to dry the area around the wound so you can affix the dressing. Covering the wound will encourage healing and prevent the infection from spreading. Avoid using a dressing that sticks to wound. Go for a sterile bandage instead of gauze. If your wound is infected, then you need to be under the care of a doctor. If you visited your doctor or another medical professional when you were injured or to treat an infection, be sure to follow all of their instructions. Apply prescribed topical antibiotic cream or take oral antibiotics as they've instructed. Take any other medications, such as pain relievers or anti-inflammatory drugs, as directed. If you received stitches, don't get them wet for 24 hours unless directed by your doctor.

SUMMARY:
Follow the instructions your doctor has given you. Wash your hands before and after cleaning the wound. Soak the wound in a saline solution (if advised). Use drinking-quality water to clean the wound. Apply an antibiotic ointment. Avoid using alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. Replace the dressing to encourage healing. Follow all of your doctor's instructions.
