Use stand-ins: [Landlord], [Kid A], [my street]. The chat writes just as well without the real thing.
Don't type symptoms, medicines, or test results. Write your questions on paper and bring them to your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist. Emergency: call 911. This card has no box to fill in, on purpose.
The chat doesn't know today's price, what's in stock, or this week's sale. Read the shelf tag, the store's own page, or call the store.
A letter the chat writes is not legal advice. For a lease, school, airline, or town rule, open the page printed on your paper or call the office. Court, eviction, custody, immigration: stop and call a lawyer or legal aid (in NJ, Legal Services of New Jersey).
You're responsible for what you file. Don't ask the chat to fill in a tax or benefits form, and never type your SSN or income. Use the agency's own site or the number on a letter you trust. Free tax help exists (IRS VITA sites). If anyone — a caller, a pop-up, a page, or a chat — asks for a password, a code, gift cards, a wire, or crypto, or promises a bot will earn you money: stop, hang up or close it, and ask a person you trust.
| If this happens | Do this |
|---|---|
| It's typing too much, or something you don't want | Click Stop — the square that replaces the send arrow while it's writing |
| You closed the tab by mistake | Ctrl+Shift+T (Mac: Cmd+Shift+T). It comes back. |
| The chat got strange, long, or off track | Click New chat (a pencil or plus, usually near the top). Clean page. |
| You're on a shared or library computer | Before you leave: click your initial or picture → Log out / Sign out, then close the browser |
| You pasted something from the don't-paste card | Don't paste it again to check. Delete that chat (the ⋯ menu next to its name → Delete). If it was a password or code, change it on the real site. If it was a bank or card number, call the number on the back of your card. Tell a person you trust. |
| Stuck after two honest tries | Stop. Book a human. It's not you — these sites change often. |
Do not type: kids' names, schools, teams, addresses, a time and a place together, anything about health or allergies. Use Kid A, Kid B, “practice,” “school.”
Not in this exercise: meals, recipes, allergies, or asking if food is safe. The chat can be wrong about ingredients.
Sort these into a checklist by day, Monday to Sunday. Keep my words. Do not add anything. If two things are at the same time, write CLASH. --- Kid A practice Tue 5pm recycling out Wed night library books due Fri Kid A practice Thu 5pm pick up Kid B from art Thu 5pm oil change Sat 10am ---
Tue — Kid A practice 5pm
Wed — recycling out at night
Thu — Kid A practice 5pm / pick up Kid B from art 5pm — CLASH
Fri — library books due
Sat — oil change 10am
You decide the Thursday clash. Copy the list by hand.
Lines already use stand-ins. Write the day list. Write CLASH if two things share a time. Do not add a meal.

________________________________ (one more green note, or leave blank)
Your answer will be worded differently. That's normal. Check it has the same parts: your lines, grouped by day, and CLASH only if two things share a time.
Green notes only. Stand-ins only. No meals.
