HOST A SUCCESSFUL YARD SALE

Make for easy browsing

Arrange goods for sale into categories and pay attention to presentation. You may generate more sales if items are easy to see and browsing is made easy. Put items you expect to draw the most attention popular near the end of the driveway to entice passers-by. A neat and inviting appearance also may convey that you’ve taken care of your home and your belongings. Play some music and offer light refreshments to create a convivial atmosphere.

Wood firepit: As their name suggests, wood firepits burn wood, which may appeal to homeowners who already have wood-burning fireplaces inside their homes. Because they don’t require homeowners to tap into gas lines, wood firepits are generally easy to set up and install, and many homeowners prefer the aesthetic appeal of crackling wood and flames that’s synonymous with wood firepits.

I used to visit and revisit it a dozen times a day, and stand in deep contemplation over my vegetable progeny with a love that nobody could share or conceive of who had never taken part in the process of creation. It was one of the most bewitching sights in the world to observe a hill of beans thrusting aside the soil, or a rose of early peas just peeping forth sufficiently to trace a line of delicate green.

Does Your Family Have a Fire Escape Plan? (Family Features) When a home fire occurs, you have very little time to get out. A working smoke alarm doubles your chances of survival, yet more than twenty percent of American homes are without them. Energizer and the International Association of Fire Chiefs teamed up to address this problem by providing vital fire safety information to families. Make a Plan Installing smoke alarms on every level of the home and developing a plan of escape can give your family precious minutes to get out and get to safety. Draw a floor plan of your home and sketch exit routes out of every room. Make sure you have a fire escape ladder long enough to reach the ground from upstairs rooms. Assign an outside meeting place, so you can quickly locate each other

TURN YOUR YARD INTO A VACATION-WORTHY OASIS

Install a pool: Pools are the ultimate spots to cool off on hot days.An elaborately shaped inground pool can blend in with the landscape and offer the ultimate hang-out zone. However, above-ground pools also serve the purpose and are more budget-friendly. Stock tank pools are popular among those who want minimal pool expenditure or have small spaces to work with. Stock tanks are metal vessels traditionally used as watering holes for livestock. They also can be “adult kiddie pools” when combined with some plumbing. Galvanized steel frames make them sturdy. With floats and other accessories, they can become the perfect oasis.

MAKE THE MOST OF LIMITED SPACE

Reconsider your furniture. Furniture can make rooms feel cozy, cramped or spacious. For homeowners with limited space in their homes, furniture that also can be used as storage can save space without sacrificing comfort. For the bedroom, choose a storage bed if the quarters are cramped and it’s difficult to find space for two dressers. Such beds also can be used to store bed linens if closet space is limited. Purchase storage ottomans and/or end tables with storage beneath to make living areas feel less cramped.

& SIDING

Assess the damage. Even if winter was mild, gardens might still have suffered some damage. Inspect garden beds and any fencing or barriers designed to keep wildlife from getting into the garden. Before planting anew, fix any damage that Mother Nature or local wildlife might have caused over the past several months.

Here’s a Tip

* A topcoat a day keeps the manicurist away! Revive your polish by giving the ends a quick coat of clear topcoat daily to extend the life of your manicure.

* e hardware on my favorite purse started to look very banged up and flaking. I found a silver leaf pen at the cra store, and it was very easy to spruce my bag up again.

* Bar soap is much more concentrated and eco-friendly than liquid body washes. ese days, they are just as moisturizing as any liquid soap. Look for ingredients like shea butter or the words “ultra-moisturizing” and “added emollients.”

HOW CONSUMERS CAN SHOW THEIR SUPPORT FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES

Take charge of your to-go order: Convenience became the name of the game when ordering food during the pandemic. Curbside pickup service was offered as a safety measure, and many restaurants that never previously offered delivery or takeout started to do so to generate revenue at a time when in-person dining was limited if not disallowed. Some restaurants began offering delivery through apps like Grubhub or Uber Eats, and though that may be convenient for diners, restaurants must pay a fee to utilize those apps. In lieu of ordering through a third party delivery service, consumers can take charge of their to-go orders and pick up the food themselves. That saves restaurants the delivery app surcharge, allowing them to increase net profits on the meals they sell.

VENT BRIGHTER

Grateful to Alert Driver

Excess Noise

Saturday, April 6th just before noon on 15A in Rush, a child ran into the road right in front of my vehicle. There was no other option than to slam on my brakes. The driver following me in a black SUV quickly veered into the other lane, avoiding striking my vehicle, which surely would have been catastrophic for the child as it would have propelled me forward and into the child’s path. I am extremely grateful for the driver’s alertness and defensive actions and wish to express a very sincere THANK YOU. From the Red Honda CRV

After attending a weekend celebration I have to ask: Why does the band or music have to be so loud? Even when sitting the furthest away you have to turn your ear within a foot to hear someone talk, that’s ridiculous! Then everyone around has to raise their volume. To come home with ringing in your ears and a sore throat ruins the fun.

Young People in Management

Eclipse brings “sunshine”

While some of us may have missed out on a clear view of the eclipse, warmth reigned even as the temperature dropped, as we shared and connected with others. So many people spent time with friends and family that traveled for the unique event. Many small towns hosted gatherings for community members to make memories with families, friends, and no-longer-strangers. Thank you to those who hosted events for such amazing, once-in-a-lifetime memories! Because – even though it may have been cloudy, the people around you made it feel warm and sunny!

I don’t think young people belong in management positions. There’s so many reasons for this. For one, they walk in without any experience and not truly prepared for what needs to be done. Everyone knows with age comes wisdom. They’re just not comprehending how to run a place properly, or listen to concerns and then sometimes they don’t really know what to do about it. Sometimes it’s just laziness. Some sit around and do nothing. Walk around, looking around, flirting. Please choose better or pay attention to what’s going on.

EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I adopted a small mutt from the local shelter and named her “Moxie.” She’s adorable but really energetic. She’ll actually jump straight up in the air as high as my waist! She also tugs hard at the leash when we walk. How do I tame all of this energy? -- Janice F., Hyde Park, New York

DEAR JANICE: Congratulations on your new pet! Moxie sounds like a bundle of joy. But I can understand that all her energy can be tiring.

In addition to walks twice a day (or more, if you can swing it), give Moxie plenty of puppy toys to play with at home, and spend time with her on the floor just playing fetch and helping her work off more of that energy.

She may also respond very well to a consistent schedule of walks, feeding and bedtime (yes, bedtime). Build certain predictable routines around each of these events. When it’s time for a walk, call Moxie and have her sit while you put on her leash. During walks, keep the leash short and work on the “heel” command. But when in a safe, open area, give Moxie more room on the leash to explore. When it’s bedtime, create a routine that is the same every night -- one that is positive, with a little play time and a signal to settle down and rest (such as turning down the lights).

Now, if Moxie’s energetic behavior is morphing into something more serious, like destroying furniture or being aggressive toward other dogs or humans on walks, that’s a problem you’ll need to address as soon as possible. Talk to Moxie’s vet about ways to reduce her hyperactivity and anxiety (if those are the causes). If she isn’t responding to basic behavioral training, hire a trainer to help.

INFLUENTIAL JAZZ MUSICIANS

Scott Joplin (c. 1868-1917): Born into a musical family that included his mother, a singer and banjo player, and his father, a violist, Scott Joplin grew up in Texarkana, learning to play the guitar and later the piano at a very young age. By the time Joplin was a teenager, he was working as a traveling musician and eventually became the foremost composer of ragtime jazz. Biography.com notes that Joplin was a true student of music, studying at the George R. Smith College for Negroes in Missouri during the 1890s. Though one of history’s most celebrated jazz musicians, Joplin also composed ballets and operas.

THE HISTORY OF BOUTONNIÈRES

Men wear boutonnières on special occasions, including weddings, religious ceremonies and prom night. At weddings, the groom and his groomsmen typically boutonnières. But some historians believe men have not always worn flowers strictly on special occasions. Some believe the modern-day boutonnière traces its lineage to sporting events in ancient civilizations, including Egypt. During those times, men might have worn certain colored flowers as a show of support for particular participants in sporting events, not unlike how many modern sports fans wear team shirts, jerseys and other attire to display their support for their favorite teams. But according to GentlemansGazette.com, the boutonnières of today likely started appearing just a few centuries ago. A 1771 painting of British Captain William Wade by the artist Thomas Gainsborough depicted Wade wearing a bouquet of flowers in his top buttonhole. And in the 19th century, men’s fashion included coats that folded over the top, revealing the inside of the buttonhole. Boutonnières provided an aesthetically appealing way to cover up that buttonhole.

Kitty Jospe Shares Her Poetic Words of Wisdom

BY SUZIE WELLS

For Rochester’s Kitty Jospe, creative writing and poetry writing specifically has been a staple throughout her life, even as early as Christmas letters and celebrations as a child. She also reminisces about when she was around six years old and asked her mother on a rainy vacation day, “What can I/we do?” and her mother assigned Jospe’s older sister to write a story about “Millicent Moo” and Kitty to write about “Timothy Chipmunk.” Working with words has always been part of her life, she says.

She says that what she learned about poetry she learned best in a French poetry class as she pursued her MA in French Literature, and then when she taught French poets in AP French Literature for ten years.

A er a few workshops with poet greats, Tom Lux, Naomi Shihab Nye, and Alberto Rios, and then a er retiring from teaching, Jospe pursued her MFA, studies she says “opened my eyes to all Poetry could do.” During that program, she formed a reading appreciation circle to read aloud and discuss National Poet Laureates to identify each poet’s “secret ingredient,” what made the poet stand out, the same question she says she considered for 25 years as a trained docent at Rochester’s Memorial Art Gallery.

Training herself to mindfully examine art and poetry extends to the natural world, Jospe explains. “Such mindfulness and curiosity is the stuff of poetry. Equally important is to experiment with possibilities, explore unusual images and juxtapositions, and embrace paradox. e trick is to know all the possibilities of the cra to render it so a reader is totally reeled in.”

In her writing, Jospe is “very mindful of form,” experimenting, letting each poem tell her what form and style it needs. Finding inspiration “everywhere,” whether in a conversation with a friend, adventures in the natural world, or even visual patterns and striking imagery around her, Jospe says she prefers lyric poetry, challenging herself to write well about something in a creative, unique way.

Jospe ritualistically rises early and writes every day. en at the end of the month, she goes through the writings and revises and submits what interests her. She values recognition of individual poems by the time she publishes them as a collection.

Most important to Jospe in her creative writing is connection, “bringing joy to people and helping them see how they can contribute to positive energy. is is the gi of art. It brings out the best in us.”

Jospe explains, “Creative writing invites us to join the universals and big picture of life. It allows us to leave media, society, [and] personal concerns temporarily so that we connect on a greater spiritual level to something we each have inside that prods our curiosity and compassion.”

To budding writers, Jospe says, “Read. Read! Read! Write. Write no matter what. Set aside time to pen your thoughts as a regular practice even if you don’t think you have anything to write about. Re-read a week later what you’ve written and revise. en find friends and share, ask their opinion. Be ready to keep revising. Read how other people have dealt with what you’re thinking about. Google different ways to understand a theme.”

Jospe is o en featured at poetry readings and events around Rochester. She recently read from her latest book, Whispers of Perhaps,

Whispers of Perhaps cover photo, capturing what it looks like to be a city in the sky, reflecting the implied perhaps of our human capacity for subjective perception – pareidolia, which imposes meaning

and this May, she will read for the Poetry Trail at the Webster Arboretum. Check out Jospe’s websites for more information on her publications and upcoming readings: kdjospe.blogspot.com, foothillspublishing.org/jospe/ Whispers of Perhaps

“In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.”

Perhaps this proverb brings hope, and perhaps we each have magic and imagine one hand on a staff, one hand on another’s shoulder... See how that woman smiles, how you can’t even guess that old man has a limp, and no one makes wrinkles in the forehead, no eyebrow hinting of worry.

Perhaps some ask, what is best knowing there is no answer. Others ask about the king, hearing both hands are on his stick

Some answer, Perhaps it will help him guide. Others implore fate. Others continue to smile. Who knows?

Look at him, that bandage slung over his eye, the other eye staring ahead so intently.

Can anyone guess what he sees?

What do we ever know about what another is thinking, seeing, feeling? Tell me, how do you color your perhaps? What whispers do you want it to tell you?

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Constant

Aleve and

Ibuprofen Consumption Can Cause Damage

DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband, age 70, had been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in his neck, for which he would take Aleve to relieve his discomfort when needed. Just before Christmas last year, his back began hurting so much that he went to his doctor, who said to get up and move more. (We have always exercised and remained active in life, but he did slow down due to his pain.)

My husband then added ibuprofen to the Aleve he was already using. His doctor said that the pain is due to osteoarthritis in his mid-back area. Apparently, there is nothing to do for it but take Extra Strength Tylenol at the recommended dose. Ibuprofen or Aleve isn’t recommended because it causes liver and kidney damage. So, we bought Tylenol, and he used this medication instead of his usual. But his pain only got worse.

Quality Sleep

To help you feel your best and sleep more soundly, try the following tips: Take a shower – About 90 minutes before bedtime, take a hot bath or shower. This will help to reduce muscle tension & accelerate sleep onset. Create an electronics curfew – The blue light from your favorite electronic devices interrupts your ability to relax and fall asleep. Don’t use your smartphone, tablet and other digital devices for one hour before bed. Stretch to relax – Stretching for 10-15 minutes before bed will help reduce muscle tension. Turn down noises and do some gentle stretches to relax the muscles and mind.

Set a wake-up schedule – Try to wake up at the same time each morning, even on the weekends. This will help keep your internal clock ticking correctly so you can fall asleep more quickly and sleep deeply.

Embrace natural light – About 15 minutes of sunlight each morning will help reset your circadian rhythm so you can rise more naturally and then sleep better in the evenings.

So, this morning, he switched back to Aleve and ibuprofen. It is what helped before and is helping again now. In addition, he is using a drug-free Aleve Direct Therapy pad that uses waveform technology. He also uses Icy Hot pain relief cream and a heating pad. These reduce his pain, but his back continues to hurt since before the holidays.

Our question is, should he use Aleve and ibuprofen instead of the Tylenol that doesn’t seem to help? He has actually used Aleve for a very long time. He just had his blood tested, and the doctor said his liver and kidneys are good. Is there anything more we can do to relieve his osteoarthritic pain? It is hard to see my husband in so much discomfort when he was previously a very active, pain-free man. -- S.F.A.

ANSWER: Osteoarthritis in the neck is a common and painful condition, and there are not always good treatment options. In terms of medicine, anti-inflammatory medicines, like Aleve or ibuprofen (Advil and many other brands), can be very helpful for some people. However, taking both doesn’t improve pain relief. It does increase the risk of toxicity, so he should never take two anti-inflammatory medicines -- choose just one. Tylenol helps some people, but in my experience, most people do better with anti-inflammatories instead of Tylenol. Tylenol does have a smaller risk of side effects. In addition to liver and kidney problems, Aleve and similar medicines can cause stomach problems, ranging from mild upset to life-threatening ulcers; though, this is uncommon with over-thecounter doses. I often recommend a trial of Tylenol to see if it is as good as the anti-inflammatories. Since it’s not for your husband, he should tell his doctor this, and it seems reasonable for him to go back to taking Aleve alone. However, I can’t tell you to disregard his physician’s advice. Some people benefit from Tylenol on top of Aleve.

Beyond pain medicines, the Aleve Direct Therapy pad uses electricity to relieve pain without medicine. It’s fine to combine this therapy with medicines. Creams -- whether they are antiinflammatory, menthol and camphor, or topical anesthetics -provide some relief, but they tend to be better on the hands, wrists and knees than the neck. Though, they still may be worth trying in combination with medicines. In more severe cases, injections can be used before considering surgery.

AVOID INJURIES WHEN WORKING OUT

Adesiretoliveahealthy,activelife compels many people to include exercise in their daily routines. Numerous studies have shown that regular workouts that include a combination of strength training and cardiovascular exercise can make bodies less susceptible to injury while reducing a person’s risk for conditions such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Exercising is most effective when it’s part of a daily routine, but that routine can be derailed if men and women are not taking the appropriate measures to avoid injury while working out. While even professional athletes succumb to injury from time to time, there are steps everyone can take to avoid injury when working out.

Heat and cold therapies can effectively combat symptoms associatedwithinflammation,but such treatments should always be discussed with a physician before being instituted.

IMPROVE OVERALL ENDURANCE

Have a good emotional connection. A desire to have a great body may not be enough to motivateyoutoworkoutandpush harder. If not, think of a better reason to exercise, and it may be the mind over matter you need. Many people find inspiration from family health history risk factors or through the goal of reversing negative health reports from doctors’ offices. These motivating factors will help you press on and push harder.

CONSERVE ENERGY AROUND THE OFFICE

Allow employees to telecommute. Based on an analysis of data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2005-2014 American Community Survey conducted by GlobalWorkplaceAnalytics.com, a typical business would save $11,000 per person per year if it allowed its employees to work from home just half the time. Those cost-savings can be traced to numerous factors, and lower utility costs in the office as well as the need for less office space are among them.

GET A HANDLE ON WORK-RELATED STRESS

Take more time off. According to the “State of American Vacation 2016” report from Project: Time Off, American workers failed to use 658 million vacation days in 2015. Vacation is not just a time to get away, but a valuable, effective way for workers to recharge. The APA notes that avoiding the negative effects of chronic stress and burnout requires workers to take time away to replenish and return to their pre-stress level of functioning. Taking time off to disconnect from work and avoid thinking about work can be just what workers need to overcome their work-related stress. And plenty of workers have the time to take off; they just need to take it.
