INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A pain medication can keep you more comfortable by reducing the pain of a sore throat and achy muscles. It will also reduce your fever. Don't double dose. Many flu and cold medications contain acetaminophen, so don't take it separately unless you're sure it's not in your other medications. Check the labels for the drug, as medications must list the individual drugs and dosages on the package. Wait 6 hours between taking acetaminophen to see if your fever returns. Nasal sprays can relieve congestion. Nasal decongestant sprays contain medications to help with congestion. They are safe to use at any time of day, even at night, as they only affect the nose. Be sure to follow the time schedule on the back of the bottle. Pill decongestants can make you jittery, keeping you awake, but sprays won't because they work locally. However, you should stop using them after 3 days, as after that amount of time, they can make congestion worse. Nasal saline sprays can be used in conjunction with decongestant sprays because they do not contain medications, just sterile saltwater. They can loosen mucus and provide moisture to nasal membranes. They can also partially clear out the virus and bacteria from the nose. Antihistamines can reduce symptoms such as a runny nose or watery eyes. However, be aware that some antihistamines can make you drowsy. Don't use an antihistamine if you plan on drinking alcohol or driving. Cough syrups can help with many flu symptoms, making you more comfortable. Cough suppressants lessen the effects of a dry cough. Cough expectorants are best for a wet cough that produces mucus. Expectorants bring up mucus from the chest, relieving congestion. Bringing up that mucus can help you get over the sickness faster. Only try one medication at a time, but don't combine all three. Many over-the-counter medications treat multiple symptoms at once and can simplify the process, such as Nyquil. When using a medication like Nyquil, always check what medications are in it before taking anything else. For instance, Nyquil Cold and Flu Nighttime Relief Liquid has a cough suppressant, a pain reliever, and an antihistamine in it, so you wouldn't want to take those medications separately while taking Nyquil.

SUMMARY: Take a pain medication such as acetaminophen. Use nasal sprays. Try an antihistamine. Use a cough syrup. Try a multi-symptom medication.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The more you chop them, the easier the jam will be to spread. Put it on a burner and turn it to high heat. These standard packages are available at kitchen/canning shops or online. Stir well to combine. Lemon juice contains extra pectin and adds flavor. Also, add one-fourth cup (59ml) of rum or alcohol of your choice if you want a little extra flavor. Bring it to a full boil. Turn it to medium heat. Traditional cherry jam is sweet, so five cups of granulated sugar is added for four cups of cherries. However, you can add as little as three cups of sugar for a tarter, healthier jam. Let it boil for one minute. Remove it from heat.

SUMMARY: Chop the cherries or grind them in a food mill. Pour four cups of cherries into a large metal stockpot or metal Dutch oven. Shake your package of powdered fruit pectin into the pot. Add the lemon juice. Stir the mixture. Stir in your sugar. Return the mixture to a boil.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If your washer starts shaking during the spin cycle, pause the washing machine. Open the door to inspect the arrangement of your clothes. If there is an uneven pile, your drum may have simply bundled your clothes into an uneven ball. Spread your clothes out and resume your spin cycle. If your washer continues to shake, remove some of your clothes. You may have simply overloaded it. If your washer consistently causes your clothes to bundle together into an uneven ball, the drum is probably absorbing weight unevenly because it isn't level. You may be filling the drum with too many clothes when you use your washer, even if it doesn't seem like it. Only add clothes until the drum is half-full so that the clothes have room to move when the drum spins. For a front-loading machine, pile your clothes up higher towards the back of the drum and avoid leaving them near the door. Overfilling your machine will also keep your clothes from getting adequately clean. To see if your washer isn't level, put both hands on the top of your washer. Try pushing it side-to-side. If it wobbles or gives at all, your machine isn't level and the vibration from the drum is making the legs bang repeatedly into the floor. Find a more even section of flooring and move the washer to see if the problem stops. If your dryer is unlevel too, then it's probably your floor's fault. Try finding a flatter area of your home to set the machines or slide a sheet of plywood underneath them. Open a front-loading washer and try to press the bottom of the drum down. If it doesn't move at all, the delivery or installation crew probably forgot to remove the shipping bolts. Turn your washer on to its side. Look underneath the machine and behind it for plastic clamps that are shoved over the openings or bolts. The shipping bolts ensure that your drum doesn't move during delivery and installation. They will cause a machine to shake if they're left in. Depending on the make and model of your machine, the shipping bolts may be hiding behind the back panel. If your back panel simply slides out, lift it up to see if there are any plastic pieces latched to your drum. Remove the shipping bolts by squeezing the handle and pulling them. If the bolts are screwed into a panel, place a wrench over the bolt and turn it counterclockwise to loosen and remove them. Sometimes, you can simply unscrew the bolts by hand. The shipping bolts are usually brightly-colored so that they're easy to notice. They also tend to be made from a cheap plastic. They should look really out of place on your machine.

SUMMARY:
Move your clothes around in the middle of a spin cycle. Use smaller loads of clothes when filling your washing machine. Try rocking the machine when it isn't running to see if it tilts and move it. Look for shipping bolts on the back and bottom of a new washer. Remove the shipping bolts by hand or with a wrench.
