In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If your bong is especially dirty, it might be best to soak it in a sink, basin, or bathtub full of warm water and just a squirt of dish soap. Let your bong soak for about an hour or two before you start the cleaning process. Be very conservative with the dish soap. If you use too much, your bong might produce an unpleasant soapy aftertaste the next several times you smoke. Put all of the small pieces of your bong into resealable bags with about a tablespoon of coarse salt. Fill the resealable bag with enough rubbing alcohol to completely submerge the pieces. Shake the bags for a few seconds and then let the pieces soak for several minutes. Then, rinse them off with clean water. Use either plastic cotton swabs or pipe cleaners to scrub around the nooks and crannies of your bong, where resin and water stains are harder to reach and remove. Dip them in a little bit of rubbing alcohol before scrubbing. To easily remove water stains in your bong, put some warm water and lemon juice in the base and swish it around. Then, rinse your bong out with cold water.
Summary: Presoak your bong in warm water and dish soap. Soak small pieces in plastic bags. Use a cotton swab or pipe cleaner. Get rid of water stains with lemon juice.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When you arrive at your appointment, you will first have to answer many questions about your general health and likely fill out a confidential medical history form. The types of questions you will be asked vary depending on your particular location, but you should be ready to at least name any medications that you currently take and any locations you have traveled to in the past 3 years.  The United Blood Services is regulated by US Food and Drug Administration. They must comply with regulations set forth by the FDA. FDA guidelines have the safety of the public in mind and if any behavior, disease, or medication is deemed risky for potential contamination or transmission of disease, one is asked not to donate. It is not meant to discriminate. As such, certain activities increase the chances of blood borne illnesses and will be inquired about. These include intravenous drug use, certain sexual activities, taking certain medications, and living in certain countries. If you answer yes to any of these questions, you may not be able to give blood. There are also certain diseases, such as hepatitis, HIV, AIDS, and Chagas' disease, that will make it impossible for you to ever donate blood. Answer all interview questions honestly. They may delve into sensitive topics, but you should be honest so the center will have an idea if they can use your blood. Once you pass all the portions of the questionnaire, you will be given a small physical. This typically includes a nurse taking your blood pressure, checking your pulse, and measuring your body temperature. The nurse will then give you a small prick on your finger in order to check your hemoglobin and iron levels. Your blood pressure, pulse, temperature, hemoglobin levels, and iron levels need to be within the healthy range before you can give blood. This ensures the health of your blood and that you aren't anemic after donating. Many people who give blood are afraid of needles or don't like to be stuck with one. You can distract or prepare yourself before it happens to make it easier on you. Look away from the needle and take deep breaths before the needle goes in. You can also pinch yourself with the arm not giving blood to create a distraction.  Don't hold your breath. If you do, you might pass out. Be reassured that most people report little or no pain, mostly just feeling a pinch. The real issue is discomfort, so the less you tense up, the better. When you finish your physical, the nurse will ask you to lie back in a reclining chair or lie down all the way. A cuff will be placed around your arm to make your veins easier to see and your blood pump faster. The nurse will clean the inside of your elbow, which is where the needle will be placed. The nurse will then place the needle in your arm, which is attached to a long tube. The nurse will ask you to pump your hand a few times and your blood will start coming out.  The nurse will take a few vials of blood first for testing, then your blood will fill the bag. You usually give a pint of blood at a time. This process typically takes between 10–15 minutes. Nervousness can also cause your blood pressure to drop and can lead to dizziness. Talk to the person taking your blood if it helps you feel better. Ask them to explain everything that is being done. Find ways to distract yourself, such as singing a song, reciting something, contemplating the outcome of a book you're reading or a TV series you follow, listening to your electronic device, or thinking about the worthy end result of your donation. Once you are finished giving blood and the nurse bandages your arm up, you will be asked to sit and wait for about 15 minutes to ensure that you don't faint or feel dizzy. You will also get a snack and some juice to help replenish your fluids and up your blood sugar. The nurse will also suggest that you avoid certain things for the rest of the day and replenish your fluids for the next 48 hours.  You should not do any heavy lifting or strenuous activity such intense exercise for the rest of the day. If you feel lightheaded later in the day, lie down with your feet elevated. Leave the bandage on for four to five hours after your donation. If it bruises badly, apply a cold compress. If it hurts, take an over-the-counter pain medication to relieve it.  If you feel ill for long periods of time after your visit, call your doctor to make sure everything is okay.
Summary: Fill out the forms. Take the physical. Prepare yourself mentally. Have your blood taken. Relax. Rest and replenish.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Some people use the term 'double-brewed' tea to refer to concentrated tea that has been steeped twice, but the phrase can also be used to mean tea that has been brewed with reused teabags. Simply leave the teabags in the water for 2-3 minutes longer than usual to account for the loss of effectiveness.  You should not reuse teabags in this manner more than once or twice. If you are not planning on reusing them right away, put them in the refrigerator in enough water to keep them completely wet. Storing used teabags at room temperature or in dry conditions can cause mold growth and invite unwanted bacteria. Old teabags can be reused quite easily during cooking. Experimenting with old teabags in the kitchen may impart color and flavor to foods. For instance, adding chamomile or jasmine tea to rice can infuse it with a delicate fragrance, and Chai or cinnamon tea can boost the flavors in a simple bowl of oatmeal.  Place old teabags in the water you are using to boil pasta or rice for added flavor. Add old teabags to the water you have just used to boil eggs for added flavor and color. Add tea to your meat smoker for tea-infused smoked meats. Mixing teabags into soil has a great number of beneficial effects, including increasing nitrogen and acidity levels, attracting good bacteria, lowering the pH level of the soil, and giving earthworms something good to eat. You can also add old teabags to your compost pile, as long as they are not made of plastic and you remove any metal staples first. Because teabags are absorbent and aromatic, they can be used to mitigate offensive smells. Peppermint and cinnamon flavored teas in particular have a very strong and pleasant aromas.  Place used teabags in the trashcan and refrigerator to dispel bad odors. Scrub your hands with used teabags to remove unpleasant scents like those of garlic or fish. Turn old teabags into air fresheners by waiting until they are completely dry and adding a couple of drops of essential oil, like lavender or peppermint.
Summary:
Make double-brewed tea. Add flavor to food. Care for your garden. Disguise bad odors.
