INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Even though you scraped away excess mortar, there is almost certainly some leftover on the blocks. The washing process removes all of these imperfections, but not until the mortar has set. Give it 2-3 hours before you start washing.  This set time only makes the mortar strong enough for scrubbing. The mortar won’t reach it’s full strength until it’s set for several weeks. This job may take several hours, meaning that the first blocks you laid are dry enough for cleaning as soon as you complete installing the blocks. Dip a sponge in a bucket of plain, warm water and scrub any spots on the blocks that have mortar on them. Thin layers of mortar should come off easily with water and light scrubbing.  Dip the sponge back into the bucket periodically to wash off excess mortar. Only use plain water at this point. The mortar is not dry enough to handle cleaning from solvents or other chemicals. This wipes up any moisture and removes any remaining mortar remnants. Work in a circular motion and cover both sides of the block surface. Once the job is complete, leave the mortar to dry. Don't do any additional cleaning or maintenance until the mortar has fully cured. Avoid doing any construction near the blocks, or the vibrations could knock them out of place.  If the blocks are outside, cover them with plastic to prevent rain from getting on them. Different mortar may have different set times. Always check the instructions on the product you use for the specific dry time. After the mortar dries completely, start cleaning the glass blocks once a week. Make a solution of warm water and mild soap. Dip a fine cloth or sponge into the water and scrub the blocks in a circular motion. Then use a squeegee to wipe the water off. Remember to clean both sides of the installation.

SUMMARY: Let the mortar set for 2-3 hours before washing the blocks. Scrub the blocks with a wet sponge. Run a dry cloth over the blocks after cleaning them. Let the mortar cure for 14-21 days. Maintain your glass blocks by cleaning them once a week.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Focus on the milestone the recipient has reached. For kids, birthdays are exciting celebrations during which they get gifts and have pool parties. Teens have a couple of milestone celebrations like sweet sixteen or eighteen. For anyone over 22 or 25, birthdays indicate you're just getting older.  For people who are in their twenties or older, you can be funny by acknowledging their age. For example, for somebody's 45th birthday, you could say, “Only ten more years until you can start using senior discounts.” When writing cards for younger kids, it doesn't matter as much what you tell them. Try saying something funny in kid humor, like “rock your tail off, Cody!” Another approach is to recall a moment you've had with this person. Say you met after you dropped your lunch tray and she helped you pick it up: “I can always count on you to help me pick up food." Holidays like Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, or Christmas usually warrant a more heartfelt message. For these types of cards you can write about what the holiday means to you. For example: “Thanksgiving is centered around turkey and gravy, but I'm just thankful to spend it with you.”  You can also take the slapstick approach to a holiday card: “When grandma starts drinking eggnog, it's family time,” or “All I want for Christmas is New Year's Eve. I'll settle with an afternoon with you.” You might find it difficult to be unique for a holiday occasion, but if you add some of your personality, it will be distinctive enough for a greeting card. Greeting cards for religious events are almost always cheerful and full of love. Whether it's a card to celebrate a Baptism, Yom Kippur, Eid, or Confirmation, you can make your message unique by writing from your heart.  Describe your relationship to the celebrant in a sentence or two, and finish by noting how happy you are for the person on their special day. These types cards rarely involve humor, but if you think of a joke, try it out. The key to adding humor to a religious celebration is being tasteful. Never shame or belittle anyone in this type of card. Get well cards are often written in a large format from a group of people. You can also send out a personalized get-well greeting card. Learn about the recipient's condition briefly before writing the card. Focus on making this person smile. A good way to write a unique message is by explaining a trait of this person that makes you happy. Try something like this:  ”John, lunch is my favorite part of Tuesdays, thanks to you!” "Steph, remember when you made me laugh so hard I almost peed?” "LaTisha, you are one of the most caring people in the office. This place feels drab without you!”
Summary: Write a birthday card. Craft a holiday card. Write for a religious celebration. Write a get-well card.
