Article: Pour it slowly over your tongue, making sure to get the warm water in the area of contact between the metal and your tongue. This should raise the temperature of the metal, allowing your saliva to unfreeze.  You also want to make sure that the water is not too hot. No need to add a burn on your tongue to your list of problems! Don't pour the water too fast. Pour it slowly and steadily, so that the warmth works its way into the frozen connection. If your tongue is only lightly frozen to the metal, you can gently pull it off. However, if this process begins to hurt your tongue, stop and find a different solution. Try to twist your tongue and pull it off; hopefully this will cause your tongue to become unstuck. Let the hot air move out repeatedly until your tongue becomes unstuck. You may need to cuff your hands around your mouth, so that the hot air stays around your tongue. Do this multiple times until the metal warms up enough to unfreeze your tongue.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Use warm water on the tongue and metal. Use your free hands to gently free your tongue. Breathe in deeply and then blow out hot air over your tongue.

Problem: Article: After waking up and getting dressed, encourage your partner to do the same.  Dress appropriately for whatever is next in your morning routine.  If you're headed to the office, you should dress in work attire.  If you're going to bike or jog a few miles before breakfast, change into your workout clothes. Determine if you'll shower in the night or in the morning? Account for the time it will take for everyone to clean up and get ready in the mornings before getting dressed. If your kids are old enough, they should wake with their alarm clocks and dress themselves.  If they are too young to get dressed by themselves, wake them up and dress them yourself.  If your kids are messy eaters, you should wait to dress them until after breakfast. You and your family can all brush your teeth together before breakfast.  Show your children how to brush their teeth properly, with the brush angled at 45 degrees toward the gums.  Remind your children to brush their molars and tongue, too. Tell your children, “Brushing your teeth keeps your breath fresh.” Breakfast is the meal that begins the day.  Eating a healthy breakfast has been linked to improved memory, lower risk for diabetes and better overall health.  Try to find healthy breakfast options that require little to no preparation.  For instance, sliced apples, strawberries, and bananas with two slices of whole grain toast is a delicious breakfast option.  A green smoothie chock full of kale, blueberries, and spinach is also a good option. Talk to your family about what sorts of healthy breakfast foods they like.  Obtain these foods for your morning routine. If you have younger kids, you could take five minutes to snuggle with each child in bed just before they wake up.  Talk to them about their dreams that night.  With older kids, you could converse with them during breakfast about what they have planned that day. Your kids should be at the bus stop at least five minutes before it arrives.  This ensures they will not miss it.  Help them remember to grab their book bags and other essentials from the family's predesignated organizational point. If you wish, you could walk your children to the bus.  Younger kids might benefit from having you walk to the bus stop with them until they know where it is.  Older kids might chafe at being “chaperoned” by you while waiting at the bus stop with their friends.  Use your judgment about your child's needs and character to determine if you should or should not walk to the bus stop with your child.
Summary: Get dressed. Get your kids dressed. Brush your teeth. Consume breakfast. Schedule some time to connect with your child. Send your kids out to meet the bus.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: They might be purposely or accidentally ignoring you. Think back to the last time you spoke to them––were they angry or hostile toward you? Did you say something to offend them? If so, they are probably still stewing over whatever it was set them off in the first place. On the other hand, if you had a great time with them last time, there’s probably some intervening factor which has led them to ignore you inadvertently.  Perhaps they are busy studying for a test or have become infatuated with a new love interest. If the person ignoring you is a friend or coworker, ask a mutual friend or coworker if they might know why you’re being ignored.  Perhaps this mutual friend could identify or explain to you why the person ignoring you is doing so.  Perhaps you’ve angered them without realizing it but rather than telling you so directly, they’ve decided to just ignore you to avoid deepening the conflict.  A third party might be able to examine the situation more objectively and help you figure out why you’re being ignored. Confront the individual who is ignoring you.  Ask them to talk privately.  In a quiet, private place, calmly ask “Hey, I was wondering why you’ve been ignoring me?”  Present evidence that they’ve been ignoring you, such as not returning your calls or emails, or not responding when you speak to them.  Listen attentively to their explanation. If this is the first time the person has ignored you, there may be a good reason.  However, if your friend or coworker has made a pattern out of ignoring you or others, they may be getting some satisfaction from the act.  They may, alternately, be using silence to evoke an apology or acquiescence to a certain demand.  Finally, they might be ignoring you to disempower you: you might hear them say “If you really knew me / loved me, you wouldn’t have to ask why I’m ignoring you.”  All the foregoing examples indicate a narcissistic personality which should be recognized and not catered to.

SUMMARY: Ask yourself why the person ignoring you might be doing so. Ask a third party why you’re being ignored. Ask the person ignoring you directly why they’re ignoring you. Recognize manipulative behavior.

Walk around a little if you can. Resist the urge to sit  or lay down. Also avoid leaning up against anything. If your eyes are heavy, you may doze off. As long as you are standing up and moving you should be able to avoid falling asleep. Cold water works best. The colder the better. Something to sort of shock you into waking up. You can easily excuse yourself to the bathroom to do this. The goal here is to make yourself uncomfortable. If your face is cold you will be less likely to fall asleep. If you have short, combed-over hair you could put cold water on your scalp too. This is a lot easier in winter or in cold offices. Take off that jacket or scarf. Roll up your long sleeves. Grab a glass of ice cold water. Take a few gulps, refill, and keep it at your desk. If you have a space heater at your desk, turn it off. You may even want to turn a fan on to keep you cooler. You may opt to start doing things more quickly. Stand and march in place while at your desk. If you can take a quick break, do jumping jacks or run in place. This will get your heart rate up. More blood will be moving to your brain and your lungs will start working harder to provide oxygen to the blood. As your heart rate rises you will be more awake and alert. Taking a shower will also influence your cardiovascular system by raising your blood pressure. If you are tired, a monotonous task will prompt your eyes to become very heavy. If you can switch tasks and do something different, try that instead. If it involves paying close attention to something or someone else that's even better. When our minds are engaged we become more awake and alert. If you can listen to something on the radio or on your phone do so. If you have a favorite radio station or upbeat playlist or music album listen to that and sing. Try listening to a book on tape. If you like keeping up with current events, news radio may also keep your mind engaged. If you are unable to shake your midday sleepiness you may not be getting enough rest in general. Consider establishing a regular sleep routine and avoiding snacks and beverages that can make you sleepy. Consult a physician if you have a regular sleep schedule and still feel tired during midday.
