Summarize the following:
If you use your pool daily, you should aim for once a week if possible. That will help keep the water sparkling and clean every time you get in. If you only use your pool occasionally, you may be able to get away with monthly treatments, but that's generally not recommended. If you've had a pool party, for instance, you may want to shock your pool that night or the next day. That will help get rid of the excess human waste in the pool, such as skin, oils, and urine. Even if you've just had a few friends over who have used the pool all evening, that may be a good time to shock it afterwards. Big storms with heavy rains can drastically change the chlorine levels in your pool. Therefore, it's a good idea to shock the water after one has passed through. Even if you don't get a big storm, having rain for several days in a row can change your chlorine levels. Similarly, if your pool loses or gains a lot of water for any reason, it's time to shock your pool, such as if you've had a severe drought that's caused the pool to evaporate a lot of water. If a kid or a dog has left some feces in your pool, first clean that out. Then, add shock to the water, which will deal with the bacteria left behind by the feces. If an incident like this one happens at a pool party, it's best to clear the pool.

summary: Shock your pool at least every other week. Add shock after your pool has been heavily used. Watch the weather to shock it after big storms. Put shock in your pool if there's been a bowel-related incident.

You can use any combination of leafy greens you want, as long as they make approximately 1 cup (237 milliliters). Choose from spinach, kale, collards, romaine, Swiss chard, and dandelion, just to name a few. These provide the nutritional base of the smoothie. Liquids are important with a smoothie. If you don't add a liquid, your smoothie will be much too thick. You can use something as simple as a cup of water. However, you can also use almond milk or soy milk, as well as coconut milk or water. You can even use regular milk or coffee. Use the same amount of liquid as you use greens, 1 cup (237 milliliters). Fruits give the smoothie flavor and sweetness, and they also add additional nutrients. You can use any combination of fruit you want, including bananas, strawberries, blueberries, mango, orange, apple, pineapple, and avocado. You'll need about 1 1/2 cups (355 milliliters) of fruit. Consider adding both a creamy fruit and a flavorful fruit. For instance, avocado and banana are creamy and mango is thick and pulpy, while orange, pineapple, and strawberry add a punch of flavor. Frozen fruit is a great addition to smoothies. It's cheap, and you can just throw it in frozen. However, be sure to use about equal parts frozen and fresh fruit, as you don't want your smoothie too cold or thick. You can also add power-house toppings for other nutrients and protein. For instance, you can use chia seeds, flax seeds ground in a coffee grinder, almond butter, hemp seeds, or acai powder. Add a dash of cinnamon or cocoa powder for flavor. You can also use oats that have soaked overnight or fresh ginger. Cardamom, nutmeg, and tumeric can all add nice flavors. Don't forget a small dash of salt to brighten flavors. You can really use any sweetener you want, if you prefer your smoothie a little sweeter. You can add honey, agave syrup, monk fruit sugar, regular white sugar, stevia, or a splash of fruit juice, to your taste.

summary: Choose your greens. Pick a liquid. Choose your fruits. Add a booster. Pick sweeteners as desired.

There is no way around the fact that this is going to hurt the other person. It's just like ripping off a bandage if you rip it off all in one go, the pain will be over quickly, but if you do it slowly, it will hurt for longer. You can help minimize the heartbreak in a couple of ways: Don't be distant. Even if you don't really feel like it, offer hugs and other appropriate signs of affection if your ex looks like she needs it. Be reassuring, not selfish. Find the right time to break up. Obviously, there's never a perfect time. But right before a celebration, test, or vacation is a bad time to do it. Give yourself enough time, and try to do it when she doesn't have anything else significant going on afterward. Resist the urge to argue. When someone is being broken up with, there's a good chance they're going to be angry. Don't feed her anger by provoking, debating, or belittling her. Ex-lovers often say very hurtful things when they argue. When you finally break up, you have to be prepared for anything. It could be sadness, anger, or even a lack of emotion. It's okay to feel any and all of these emotions during a breakup. If you feel like showing emotion, don't hold back. If the emotion isn't there, for whatever reason, don't force it. It's the least that she deserves. If you can't come up with a legitimate reason for why you're no longer interested in the relationship, try thinking it over; talk with a friend. It doesn't have to be perfect, but it should be legitimate. You owe it to her. Show her that you've given it some thought, and offer her some facts to back it up. Don't be aggressive or combative. When explaining the reasons for a breakup, don't talk about other relationships. Your relationship is your own, and breaking up isn't about comparing your relationship to anyone else's. Stay there for as long as she needs an explanation. Don't run out the door as soon as you've said the words "let's break up." Stay with her while she's processing the information, answering any follow-up questions she may have. If you keep returning to the same questions over and over again, tell her that you think that's happening. If it's appropriate, let her know why you think that she'll make an excellent girlfriend for someone else sometime down the road. Talk about the aspects of her personality that attracted you to her in the beginning, and the traits of hers that stayed strong during the relationship. This way, she won't feel as horrible; it could do something good for her confidence, which will probably be shaken by the breakup. Unless you've decided that it's absolutely the best to not talk after the breakup, give her the option of discussing things when the situation is a little more calm. This will give you both time to think, and may help her feel like she is also given a chance to get things off her chest.
summary: Try to minimize the heartache. Be prepared for a range of emotions. Give her a truthful explanation. Be reassuring. Offer to talk with her at a later time if she has any questions.
