Problem: Article: Most thrift stores only accept clothing and linens that are free of stains and tears. Look through the textiles you plan to donate and determine whether they are fit to be resold.  A little wear is fine, but if you notice any stains, rips, or holes in your clothing, or if any part of the item is discolored or extremely worn, it may not be accepted as a donation. If you plan to write off your donations for tax purposes, you will also be able to make larger write-offs for items in better condition. Check your Yellow pages or look online to see what thrift stores are in your area. Arc Thrift and St. Vincent de Paul are 2 common thrift chains that may be in your area. Many thrift stores donate their profits to charitable causes, like animal shelters or hospices, but some do not. You may be able to learn more about whether a certain thrift store donates to any causes through websites like http://www.CharityWatch.org or http://www.CharityNavigator.org. Even if the thrift store carries textile products, they may not be accepting donations at this time. It’s a good idea to call ahead and check whether they need the type of items you have and whether they have a limit for how much you can donate. You should also ask when their donation hours are and where exactly you should drop your items off. Even if your items seem clean, it’s a good idea to wash them one more time before donating them. You should also make sure they are thoroughly dry before packing them up to donate, as moisture can cause mildew and mold in textiles. Depending on what kind of donation receptacle the thrift store has, you may have to leave the bag or box there, so don’t put your items in anything you want to keep. Double check to make sure you know the correct hours for donation drop-offs, then take your items to the thrift store. You may be able to bring your items directly into the store, but most thrift stores have clearly labeled donation receptacles outside the store or a donation drive-through area. Pay attention to any signs that are posted around the donation area. Some thrift stores do not want donors to leave their items without a staff member being present to receive them. If your items are in good condition, you can write the donations off when you fill out your tax forms. Ask the thrift store staff if they can print or write you a receipt, and keep it for your records.
Summary: Make sure your textiles are in good condition. Find a thrift store near you. Call to ask whether the store is accepting textile donations. Wash and dry the textiles you plan to donate. Gather everything you will donate in bags or boxes. Drop your items off during donation hours. Get a receipt if you want to write your donation off on your taxes.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Machine washing and drying an adhesive bra can ruin it, so do not try to put your adhesive bra in your washing machine or dryer. Hand wash your bra every time you need to wash it! You can place your bra in a sunny spot to dry, such as on an outside clothesline. Just make sure you don’t leave it out too long or the heat may affect the adhesive.

SUMMARY: Do not machine wash or dry the bra.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It can be tempting to coo back at your baby when they make silly sounds at you. However, it's better to respond with words so your baby starts learning them. When your baby coos, you can say things like, "Pretty boy!" or "Smart girl!" Try using a high pitch voice and make sure to draw out your syllables. It can also help to narrate what you're doing throughout the day, as that encourages your baby to learn more words. The more words you speak to your baby, the more they take in over time. That is, if you only use short sentences like "Stop that!," those words are the only ones your child hears. Instead, try to have continuing conversations with your baby, engaging them as much as you can based on their age. Don't rely on videos to do the speaking for you. Babies learn much better when people speak to them and interact with them in person rather than through a video. As your baby is getting older, asking them questions can get them thinking about the world. Before babies can speak, they can nod yes or no in response to a question. They can also offer other nonverbal replies. Treat any kind of nonverbal response as a reply, and continue the conversation accordingly. Pick age-appropriate books that are bright and colorful, and then sit down and read them with your baby. Also, point at pictures and make appropriate sounds. For instance, make each of the animal sounds you see in a book about animals. Another way you can help develop language is to sing little songs to your baby throughout the day. They don't even need to be "real" songs; they can just be little made-up tunes about what you're doing. Singing helps increase your baby's language skills, as it encourages them to learn new words.
Summary: Talk to your baby. Expand your sentences. Ask your baby questions. Read to your baby. Sing to your baby.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Fill a pot with 1 US-quart (950 ml) (1 L) of cold water. Either squeeze your lemon into the water or cut it into thin slices to insert. Place your onions, celery, and bay leaf into the pot. Sprinkle thyme, dill, and salt on top to taste. For more flavor, try adding peppercorns, other vegetables like carrots, or cooking liquids like chicken stock and white wine. To avoid overcooking your fish, keep your pot well below boiling, aiming for a temperature around 170° F (76° C). If your water does not fully cover the salmon, add just enough to do so. Do not preheat your pot. Starting cold will help your salmon retain moisture and avoid overheating. Let your salmon simmer until it can be easily pulled apart by a fork and is no longer transparent on the inside. Depending on the exact heat, this could take between 20 and 30 minutes. Poached salmon will not change colors as drastically as grilled or baked salmon, so pay extra attention to the opacity and toughness. Sprinkle your salmon with a small amount of salt, pepper, thyme, and dill. Poached salmon has a naturally clean, light flavor, so avoid excessive seasoning. Squeeze lemon over the top to add a zesty kick.
Summary:
Fill a pot with cold water, lemon, onion, celery, salt, and herbs. Add your salmon filet and heat to a medium temperature. Cook your salmon until it is opaque and flakes easily. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs.
