ove can be found when we least expect it. Here are some stories submitted by local couples to enjoy as Valentine’s Day approaches. Some came together under unusual circumstances, such as reconnecting after knowing each other in childhood and marrying and divorcing other partners. One married overseas. One couple says the truant officer “forced” them to get married. And another won a dream wedding last year.
NANCY AND PETE BEAMAN
My wife and I were married in Wurzburg, Germany, while I was in the U.S. Army in 1971. Nancy and her mother, Sue Gongwer, flew over to Luxembourg. I drove across Germany to pick them up (one day after I passed the German license test). I drove a 1960 VW Beetle. We were married four days later. We were married by the German Consulate in Wurzburg in

the morning and the Army Lutheran chaplain in the afternoon. Nancy’s brother, Dan, gave her away. He was in the Air Force in Bitburg, Germany. We ended up living off base on a German farm in a one-bedroom walk-up apartment. Part of our rent was some of my cigarette, liquor and coffee rations. I was a Company Clerk, Specialist E-5, so it was easy for me to get the necessary wedding paperwork done, and there was a lot of it. The Pal-Item did a couple of stories on Nancy before she left the States. We have copies of those. We have been married for 42 years and can attribute our long marriage to two things, laughter and don’t sweat the small stuff. We have two boys — our oldest is Scott Beaman, who is a math teacher at Richmond High School and the head basketball coach at Randolph Southern. He is married to Deanna Beaman, who is general manager/owner of the Richmond RiverRats.
Our youngest is Todd Beaman, who lives in Greenwood and works for Quickway trucking. His wife, Kristen, is a first-grade teacher in Greenwood. We have been blessed with six grandchildren. Nancy has worked at IU East in the human resources department for more than 25 years, and I have been in foundry and steel mill sales most of my adult life. Note: Nancy was “going steady” with a friend of mine, and when I heard they had broken up, I wrote her from the service. So we had only dated two weeks, between basic training leave and AIT leave, but I had known her for a few years. I proposed in a letter, she accepted, and the rest is history. My aunt said “it would never last.” Ha! Pete (65) and Nancy (Hilbert) Beaman (63) Richmond
CHAD AND MISSY ALBRIGHT My husband, Chad, and I will be married nine years this March. Our story starts back before we were born. Our dads worked together in Terre Haute. They became best friends and fishing buddies. Our mothers became very close also. I have the congratulation card his parents sent to my parents after my birth. My dad’s job transferred us to Tennessee and Chad’s family was transferred to California then to Richmond, Ind. Over the years our families got together for camping and fishing trips. I was so excited when Chad would come to the trips. He showed me how to pick up snakes, frogs and we explored the woods around the camp sites. When I was 12 and he was 14, my family came to their house in Richmond to visit. Our dads were outside when Chad was working on his dirt bike. My dad said it was OK for him to take me for a ride. After that ride I knew then I wanted to be with him all the time! Twenty-five years later, our dads and moms continued to get together often throughout the years at the camp they bought together at Kentucky Lake in Tennessee. Chad and I never seemed to be at the camp at the same time. I was divorced after 13 years of trying to make my marriage work, living at my parents’ with my three kids. It made it very hard when your partner wasn’t a team player. Many times I wished Chad would come pulling up on his dirt bike and take me away with him. I had told God very boldly that I did not want HIM to send me anybody, and HE would have to drop someone on my head. I just wanted to get my nursing degree and finish raising my kids. Then the phone rang ... It was Chad’s brother Dean calling to let my dad know he was going to be late meeting my dad at the camp. I asked him, how is Chad doing these days? He replied, “Better now that he’s divorced.” I replied, “Sorry to hear that ... NOT! ... you tell him to call me!” Two weeks later he called. Two weeks after that he came down to Tennessee. We sat out on my parents’ deck catching up. We laid everything out about our exes, kids

and what we would never tolerate again. He stayed a couple of days, then had to go. I removed a chalkboard from the wall where I had written long ago “Missy loves Chad.” It never got erased over the years. Before he left, he gave me the most passionate kiss. I knew then I wanted to be with him all the time. Our long-distance relationship grew over the next year and a half while I finished nursing school. I graduated and we married March 2005. We both agree that trust is a must, your partner must be a team player, there is no reason to argue and the lines of communication must be open at all times. Respect, kindness and understanding is 24/7. We both are having the greatest time in our adult life we have ever had! And that old chalkboard is hanging on a wall in a room for our grandkids with “Missy loves Chad” still not erased for 35 years.
teens at Indiana University East. He is a 1985 graduate of Northeastern and I am a 1984 graduate of Richmond. We dated and became engaged when we were 20 years old. Rob joined the Army and I went on to college at Ball State University. The distance was a strain on our relationship and we called off our engagement. We both went our separate ways. The last I knew of Rob, he was in the Army in Germany, and I had married and moved to California in 1990. I moved back to Indianapolis in 1997. In May 1999, I was shopping at a hardware store with my 11-month-old daughter when I said, “Excuse me,” to a customer so I could get my cart past him. He turned around and we were both surprised to see each other. There was Rob after all these years. The first thing he said to me was, “So how’s married life treating you?” I told him it could be better. (He had no idea I was separated from my husband.) He showed me pictures of his wife and stepson. We said goodbye to each other. We would not have contact with each other for another five years. In that time I had divorced and was replying to my high school reunion on Classmates.com, when I decided to look at Rob’s profile. I saw that he was also divorced. So I decided to email him. After several emails we finally talked on the phone and spoke to each other every day after that. After dating for four years, we were married in the house we currently live in. It was a long time coming. We believe there are no coincidences, and God had a hand in bringing us together again. We have been married since October 2008. Robert and Amy Rhoads, Carmel, Ind.

BILL AND NELLIE FUDGE My parents moved from a farm near Lewisburg to a larger farm near Eaton when I was in the eighth grade. Lewisburg school taught home economics and foreign language in ninth grade, while Eaton offered those subjects in the eighth grade. I had missed both subjects and felt like a complete “dummy.” I told my parents I was going to quit school when I turned 16. I finished 10th grade at Eaton and turned 16 that August. I refused to go to school that fall. The couple on the adjoining farm had three sons who helped with their farming, and the oldest son frequently helped with some of the farm work at our place. We rode the same school bus and talked frequently, but when he came over, I believed he was coming to see my brother. Late, he told me he was coming to see me. The middle of September that year, the truant officer came to our house and told my dad I had to be back in school within 30 days or he would be fined and sent to jail. The neighbor boy, Bill, who supposedly was “coming to see my brother,” told me we could get married. I said I’d do anything to keep from going to school. In 1943, a married person could not attend school. My parents approved of Bill because he was a good worker and came from a good family. They agreed we could get married. We were married on Oct. 9 in the

JORDAN AND JUSTIN CLAY A Wayne County connection led to a dream wedding in Montana in June 2013 for Jordan and Justin Clay. They won a contest that covered the expenses. Jordan writes: How we met: Justin and I met on Feb. 10, 2010. His younger sister, Elizabeth Parrish, is and was my best friend. The moment our eyes locked, it was literally love at first sight and we’ve been together ever since. Justin proposed to me on July 2, 2010. Justin is originally from Centerville, Ind. I was born and raised in Richmond. When Justin was 17, his family moved out to a ranch in Cardwell, Mont. When Justin and I started dating and became engaged, all I heard about was how beautiful and amazing Montana was and that he couldn’t wait to get back there. I’ve always admired the beauty out here and wanting a better life for ourselves, we moved to Bozeman, Mont., in October 2010 and have lived here since. What we won: The Gift Worth Giving is a dream wedding ($40,000) that is given each year to a deserving

The Clays’ wedding took place where “The Horse Whisperer” was filmed. ©2013 LARRY STANLEY PHOTOGRAPHY Montana couple. We were picked out of 60+ applications. We were chosen because I am a breast cancer survivor and am currently battling lupus. Justin is the oldest of eight children. His father died when he was 19 and Justin took on multiple jobs to help take care of his family. We both are big believers that everything happens for a reason and in the ripple effect of giving. We’ve both known hard and difficult times, so we are big into giving back to our community and helping those in need. I’m a caregiver and Justin is a mechanic. Wedding details: We were married June 11, 2013, at Springhill Pavilion just outside of Bozeman, Mont. Springhill Pavilion is where “The Horse Whisperer” and “A River Runs Through It” were filmed. It’s unbelievably gorgeous. It was a dream wedding to say the least. More than either of us ever anticipated or imagined.
EVERY MARRIAGE IS A FIXER-UPPER: 7 TOOLS TO TUNE YOURS UP!
E
very marriage is a work in progress, and wise couples realize that an occasional relationship remodeling is necessary to stay happy together. Here are seven tools to keep polished in your relationship toolbox:
Beware of foundation failure
COLUMN BY SUSAN A homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong foundation keeps it GILLPATRIICK standing firm through all seasons. Many times couples forget to maintain the foundation of their relationship, and that can lead to break downs and built-up bitterness. Qualities such as kindness, respect, compassion, honesty and friendship are at the core of all great relationships. Values such as faith, family and commitment can help steady a couple when times are tough and unexpected problems pop up. Beware of foundation failure by focusing on what helped you build a genuine friendship in the first place.
Reduce toxins Some relationships need an extreme makeover because of toxic patterns and behaviors. Angry outbursts, namecalling and other forms of emotional abuse can be lethal to a marriage. Lacking an effective conflict resolution plan is like spreading toxic smoke throughout the home. Parents who fight in front of their children contaminate their sense of safety and love. Holding grudges and carrying lists of your partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrongs is like putting poison in your own morning coffee! Eliminate the toxicity of your attitudes and behaviors to enjoy the richness of a healthy relationship.
Keep it fresh Value your marriage investment by keeping it fresh and fun! Break boring patterns, and kick up the fun factor for your family. Think of ways you can upgrade your time together. Be creative, and try new things. Visit new See MARRIAGE, Page 10

places. Dine at different restaurants. Meet new friends. Just as a fresh coat of paint can revive a room, and new carpet can revamp the whole appearance, keeping a relationship fresh can revitalize stale habits into stimulating times.
Measure your words People in the construction industry commonly say, “measure twice, cut once!” By rechecking their measurements, they avoid costly mistakes. Couples who speak before they think can cause costly damages as well. Everyone has days of frustration or disappointment that can lead to negative thoughts about their partner. It is crucial to calm down before speaking with words of mass destruction. In the heat of any crisis, measure your words first.
Do preventative repairs You wouldn’t wait until the roof blew off your house before addressing falling shingles, would you? Don’t wait until your relationship has completely fallen apart before addressing problem areas. Perhaps you have ongoing quarrels about who is responsible for particular household chores. Or, you have become less patient with each other. Or, maybe one partner has a new work schedule that has been a challenge for the whole family. Ignoring problems and trivializing your partner’s needs can only lead to a slow erosion of love in the relationship.
Know when to hire a professional Sometimes we get in over our heads when it comes to life’s traumas and challenges, and sometimes we can’t fix it on our own. I am sure you would hire an automobile professional to restore your car after a minor crash. Or, you’d call a plumber if you were drowning in your basement sewage. We all go through personal and relational difficulties that can put too much pressure on the best of relationships. Parenting your children or caring for aging parents can cause much stress. Grieving the loss of a friend, a job or even a dream can be a debilitating process when going through it alone. You can partner with a professional counselor to help restore your relationship or recover from the potholes of life.
Go green Always remember your natural resources and the assets you bring to the relationship. Focus on your strengths, your skills and your resilience. Each partner is unique and individual and offers abundant value in the power they have within. Focus on each other’s internal greatness before looking for external fillers to boost the growth of your relationship. Maximize the energy of your marriage by going “green” today. Recycle great memories, traditions and healthy relationship patterns. If you or someone you love needs help, contact Centerstone at (888) 291-4357 or visit www.centerstone.org. During a crisis, call the 24-hour hotline (800) 6817444 anytime.

REAL PRINCESSES OF
EVERYDAY LIFE O
ur oldest granddaughter, who is 4-and-a-half or “close to 5” as she says, lives in an apartment building in a diverse pocket of Chicago within walking distance of Target, a thrift store, the lake shore, subsidized housing projects to the north and grand manses of the early 1900s a few blocks south. This little girl who lives in the city asked her daddy if princesses were real. “Sort of,” he replied. To which she responded, “Do they live way out in the suburbs?” Where daddy was vague, Grandma would like to be specific. Yes, Sweetie, princesses are real. And, yes, they do live way out in the suburbs, but they also live in the city, the country, on both coasts and in all the spaces between. LORI The important thing to know is that BORGMAN there are two kinds of princesses, storybook ones and real ones. Storybook princesses have perfect hair, beautiful skin, dangerously long eyelashes and blood-red lips that never pale. Real princesses have stubborn cowlicks, chocolate on their faces and some, like you, might even be missing a front tooth. You should also know something a little sad about the storybook princesses. They are often helpless. They tend to mope and cry and throw themselves on chaise lounges a lot. Whether it is due to wearing high heels every day or their disproportionate body shapes cutting blood flow to their brains, they also do peculiar things like agree to cook, clean and keep house for seven short, scruffy miners. When you marry one day, Sweetie, you will learn that cooking and cleaning and keeping house with one man is enough. Some days it is more than enough, but don’t tell Grandpa I said that. Storybook princesses make for entertaining diversions, but the truth is they have small brains. They can only think about one or two things — how they look and whether a prince might be riding by soon. A real princess has many things to think about — playing dress up, building with blocks, learning to write her letters, going to museums, understanding the stock market and making wonderful things from empty toilet paper tubes. Storybook princesses never make clever things from empty toilet paper tubes, which is a shame, because they
are missing out. Since your daddy claims to be king of his castle, or two-bedroom apartment in this case, that makes your mommy queen of the castle and you, therefore, a princess. A real princess. A real princess must work hard to develop her mind and character and all her abilities so that she can rule over her kingdom — which in your case would be your two younger brothers, at least until they outsize you. A real princess doesn’t wait for a stranger on horseback to solve her problems; she solves her problems herself. Real princesses embrace the ups and downs of everyday life. They might not live happily ever after, but they know not to take shiny red apples from strangers or consider a pumpkin acceptable transportation.

RECAPTURE SOME JOY OF SNOW DAYS E
ven before the official start of winter, most of Indiana was cold and snow-covered this year. Even my town in southwestern Indiana, which rarely gets the big snows, experienced an early December storm. Those are the kind of weeks that, in 1982, made me escape Indiana for the warmer weather of Pinellas County, Fla. That year brought multiple weather horrors to northeastern Indiana. Snow and ice pelted us for weeks, followed by the inescapable rise of Fort Wayne’s AMY ABBOTT three rivers. Then, the 100-year-flood arrived. I worked for Indiana-Purdue at Fort Wayne in university relations. If managers were unavailable, I arrived early and called school cancellations to the local radio stations. The process then required using a special password — frequently changed so students couldn’t figure it out and call in their own cancellation. My apartment was two miles from campus, and I was fortunate enough to have a garage. There’s a caveat, however. I couldn’t afford a garage door opener. The garage went unused in the winter. The inevitable west winds blew several feet of snow against the garage door. No city snow plow rounded the corner, with garage access behind my building. This meant I usually left my stylish, suave 1981 maroon Chevette in on-street parking overnight, and shoveled it out, before traversing on the plowed front street.
12 | Maximum Living | January/February 2014
Show me a person who likes to shovel snow, and I’ll show you someone who has a big tractor with a supersized blade. That winter did me in. I found a job in Clearwater, Fla., and I moved away, gray kitty in tow. Six years later I was back with a husband, a canary, and the same gray kitty. I am a Hoosier, and no amount of warmed blood and sugary-soft white sand between my toes will change that. It is, however, my birth right to complain about it. Maybe it isn’t such a bad idea for the world to just stop now and then. I’m not suggesting we all move to an ice hut without heat or power, but recapturing some of the joy of a snow day in hearts as hard as Dr. Seuss’ Grinch might not be a bad idea. Cold weather brings esoteric joys to adults, also. How about a warm, homemade hot chocolate (not from a paper bag with a mix)? Steaming in a favorite cup is best, with just a touch of peppermint schnapps for extra heartiness against the cold. If the enhanced hot chocolate doesn’t work for you, how about a big bowl of homemade vegetable soup? Nothing tastes better than hot broth laced with carrots, potatoes, celery, peas and corn on a cold day. May 2014 and your heart be warm with the love of family and friends. Amy McVay Abbott is an Indiana writer and likes to hear from readers at amymcvayabbott@gmail.com
Focus on your strengths We too often focus on our weaknesses. Take time to make a list of your strengths and keep the list handy for reference. Focus on the positive, not the negative.
Holding a grudge Words of advice from best-selling author Loretta LaRoche, “Holding a grudge is like being in an airplane that can never land. It’s exhausting, and it can wear out your parts. Find an airport called Forgiveness so you can get to your final destination ... happiness.” (From the book “Squeeze the Day” by Loretta LaRoche.)
Phone–free zone Meal time is one of the best ways to stay connected as a family. Make meal time a phone-free zone. It is amazing how much you can find to talk about as a family if you are not texting or checking your email.
Negative language Stop and listen to conversations going on around you. How much of the talk is negative? Try having a “no negativity” day. Can you go an entire day without complaining or focusing on the negative?
Physical activity When you read that people need to be physically active, don’t automatically think about working out in a gym. Dancing, walking, bicycling and gardening are all forms of physical activity. Pick something you enjoy and you will be more likely to do it.

HOW CAN I MAKE MY LIFESTYLE HEALTHIER? Here are steps to take to be healthier and reduce your risk of stroke: • Don’t smoke, and avoid second-hand smoke. • Improve your eating habits. Eat foods low in saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium and added sugars. • Be physically active. • Take your medicine as directed. • Get your blood pressure checked regularly and work with your healthcare provider to manage it if it’s high. • Reach and maintain a healthy weight. • Decrease your stress level. • Seek emotional support when it’s needed. • Have regular medical checkups.
This public service announcement is headlined “Stroke Targets By Color.” It says African-Americans are twice as likely to suffer a stroke as white Americans and encourages people to monitor their health. AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION
RESPOND F.A.S.T. Think you are having a stroke? Call 9-1-1 immediately. F.A.S.T. is an easy way to remember the sudden signs of stroke. When you can spot the signs, you’ll know that you need to call 9-1-1 for help right away. F.A.S.T. is: » F: Face Drooping — Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the person’s smile uneven? » A: Arm Weakness — Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? » S: Speech Difficulty — Is speech slurred? Is the person unable to speak or hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, like “the sky is blue.” Is the sentence repeated correctly? » T: Time to call 9-1-1 — If someone shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get the person to the hospital immediately. Check the time so you’ll know when the first symptoms appeared.

How do I stop smoking? • Make a decision to quit — and commit to stick to it. • Ask a healthcare provider for information, programs and medications that might help. • Fight the urge to smoke by going to smokefree facilities. Avoid staying around people who smoke. • Keep busy doing things that make it hard to smoke, like working in the yard. • Remind yourself that smoking causes many diseases, can harm others and is deadly. • Ask your family and friends to support you. How do I change my eating habits? • Ask your doctor, nurse or a licensed nutritionist or registered dietician for help. • Be aware of your special needs, especially if you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes. • Avoid foods like egg yolks, fatty meats, butter and cream, which are high in fat and cholesterol. • Eat moderate amounts of food and cut down on saturated fat, trans fat, sugar and salt. • Bake, broil, roast and boil foods instead of frying. • Read nutrition labels on packaged meals. Many are very high in sodium. • Limit alcohol to one drink a day for women; two drinks per day for men. • Eat more fruit, vegetables, whole-grains, dried peas and beans, pasta, fish, poultry and lean meats. What about physical activity? • Check with your doctor before you start. • Start slowly and build up to at least 2 ½ hours of moderate physical activity (such as brisk walking) a week. • Look for even small chances to be more active. Take the stairs instead of an elevator and park farther from your destination.

she regularly gets her blood tested and blood pressure checked. She’s also changing her eating habits — steroids she’s now taking to help her breathing caused a large weight gain, so she’s taken that off. “Sometimes I forget how sick I’ve been,” she said. Harlin says women tend to overlook signs of illness. “We’re trying to do other things,” she said. In retrospect, she realizes she might have had a few warning signs before the second stroke, which was on a Monday. She said she remembers not feeling very well but thought it might be related to the excitement of starting a new job, and and she already had a doctor’s appointment scheduled for Tuesday, so when she had some trouble breathing on that Sunday, she thought she could wait. She had gone out to eat with friends on Sunday and said everything tasted “nasty.” And when she walked in her house after seeing her friends that night, she said her dog would not leave her side, and now thinks the dog sensed she wasn’t well. Harlin is also worried that young people will ignore symptoms, believing they aren’t old enough to have a stroke, but she sees more young people having strokes in their 40s as she did.

AN EASIER, SPEEDIER WAY TO
EAT MORE
VEGETABLES By Sara Moulton Associated Press
I
t’s no secret that almost all vegetables are naturally low in fat and calories. Most also are good sources of dietary fiber, potassium, folate and vitamins A and C. The only problem with vegetables is that it can take a significant amount of time to prep them, and even more time to cook them. This is why I love my food processor. If you use it with the grating disc attachment, you’re home free. Best of all, having cooked up your grated veggies in a bit of oil, you have maximized their flavor, as opposed to steaming or boiling them, which dilutes it. Enhance the finished product however you want, with nuts, your favorite spices or herbs, or a squeeze of citrus or other acid. Just be sure to put a mix of colors on the plate; for the most part, the brighter the color, the better the nutrition. And on a night when you are truly squeezed for time, you don’t even have to cook your shredded veggies. They’re equally delicious raw. Just toss them with lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Have fun with your vegetables.

RESOLVE TO CREATE A
BETTER RETIREMENT FINANCIAL PLAN IN 2014 Another new year offers a new opportunity to improve your life in any number of ways. (No doubt, for most of us the possibilities are endless.) But one good idea for many might be creating (or updating) a longterm financial plan. According to a 2013 survey by the Employee Benefit Research Institute, “the percentage of workers confident about having enough money for a comfortable retirement is essentially unchanged from the record lows observed in 2011.” Only 13 percent are very confident of being able to afford a comfortable retirement, while 28 percent are not at all confident. TERESA If you are among those with lower BRACK financial confidence and you haven’t started to save for retirement already, now is the time to begin — no matter what your age. If retirement is near, you’ll want to jump into the fast lane right away. If you’re younger and retirement seems a lifetime away, it’s still in your best interest to begin saving now, as compound interest will work to your advantage. Experts agree that saving when you’re young will make a world of difference when the time comes to draw on your retirement savings. Don’t take our word for it. You can check out the num-

bers yourself. A great place to start figuring out how much you will need for retirement is to learn how much you could expect from Social Security. You can do that in minutes with Social Security’s online Retirement Estimator. The Retirement Estimator offers an instant and personalized estimate of your future Social Security retirement benefits based on your earnings record. Try it out at www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator. We encourage saving for retirement, but there are reasons to save for every stage of life. A great place to go for help is www.mymoney.gov. MyMoney.gov is the government’s website dedicated to teaching Americans the basics about financial education. Whether you are planning to buy a home, balancing your checkbook, or investing in your 401(k) plan, the resources on www.mymoney.gov can help you. Another excellent resource is the Ballpark E$timator at www.choosetosave.org/ballpark. This online tool takes complicated issues, like projected Social Security benefits and earnings assumptions on savings, and turns them into language and numbers that are easy to understand. So turn over a new financial page in your life with the start of a new year, and get started at www.social security.gov. Teresa Brack is Social Security manager in Richmond.
basketball legend Matt Howard, stop briefly on his mail route. And if that isn’t enough, Kunkel’s has gained statewide attention in an Indianapolis Star article in October called “10 small-town restaurants to try.” That article drew attention to the Kunkel Burger, a double-decker hamburger with lettuce, tartar sauce and cheese, and strawberry pie, which is only available from Memorial Day until Labor Day. Specials are featured on Facebook, such as the Reuben Dog, Kunkel’s Fried Steak (pork tender-
loin with mashed potatoes, green beans and a roll), Carrot Relish Salad (a marinated mix of carrots, onions and peppers) and homemade ham and bean soup. Recently featured sandwiches are $2.59 and many of the specials, which are often available for lunch or dinner, have been advertised at $5.99. Make sure to take a big appetite, a friend or a doggie bag. The huge, tasty tenderloin with lettuce and tomato spilled out of the bun and the sides I tried (salad and fries) were quite generous too.

HOW CAN I KEEP MY PHOTOS PRIVATE ON FACEBOOK? Q: I’m worried about the photos I’m posting on Facebook. How can I make sure only my friends and family can see them? A: Log in to your Facebook account. At the top right, click the icon with the padlock and three horizontal lines. Select “Who can see my stuff?” and then under “Who can see my future posts?” set it to “Friends.” Now everything you post in the future — including photos — will be limited to your friends. Next, go under the padlock icon >> “Who can see my stuff?” >> “What do other people see on my timeline?” click the “View as” link. This shows you what your profile looks like to the public. You can easily see whether any photos are visible that shouldn’t be. COLUMN BY KIM KOMANDO
Q: I just got a new tablet, and I’m not sure what to do with my old one. Any suggestions besides selling it? A: There’s a lot you can do with a spare tablet. You could make it a guest computer for visitors. (After you wipe it clean, of course.) An app like Remote Mouse can make it a wireless controller for a computer. Photographers can use an app like SoftBox to turn a tablet into a customizable portrait light. Use it as a mobile cash register for your business with an add-on like Square. The sky is the limit. Q: My Wi-Fi signal doesn’t make it to the back room of my house. How can I extend the range? A: Make sure your router is in a central location in the house. Put it high and away from walls and metal objects. If that doesn’t help, it might be time for a new router. You’ll want one with multiple-antenna 802.11n or, if your budget can support it, a router with 802.11ac. If you have a very large house, you might pick up a Wi-Fi extender to expand the signal. Just note that it will drop your Wi-Fi speed in half. Q: I’m streaming YouTube videos to my smart TV, but it’s a pain finding them with the built-in keyboard. Is there a better way? A: Actually, there is. When you’re looking at YouTube videos on your computer, you’ll see a clock icon in the lower right corner of the video player.

Q: I realized too late that I paid more than I needed to for Christmas presents. How can I get better prices in the future? A: You definitely want to stock up on price-comparison apps for the next time you go to the store. RedLaser, ShopSavvy and PriceGrabber are good ones to start with. They let you scan product bar codes and show you where you can find items for less. Each one has cool extra features. PriceGrabber, for example, shows you the cost of the item including tax and shipping so you know how much you’re really paying.
