Interesting history!

They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & sold to the tannery. If you had to do this to survive you were "piss poor."

But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot; they "didn't have a pot to piss in" & were the lowest of the low.

The next time you are washing your hands & complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s.

Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still smelled pretty good by June. Since they were starting to smell, however, brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women, and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it . . . hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water!"

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof, resulting in the idiom, "It's raining cats and dogs."

There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed, therefore, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt, leading folks to coin the phrase "dirt poor."

The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance-way, subsequently creating a "thresh hold."

In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire.. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while, and thus the rhyme, "Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old."

Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could, "bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and "chew the fat."

Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death.

This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.

Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the "upper crust."

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial.. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up, creating the custom of holding a wake.

England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive, so they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be, saved by the bell or was considered a dead ringer.

And that's the truth. Now, whoever said History was boring?

Grilling Secrets for Your Labor Day Weekend (StatePoint) You’ve been grilling all summer long, which means you may be in need of some new ideas this Labor Day Weekend. Experts say, no matter what equipment you’re using, the secret to making a big impact on the flavor of your food is BBQ pellets.

“With the amazing wood smoke flavors that cooking with wood pellets offer, it’s truly a game changer for any backyard barbecue,” says Ben Madden, product manager at Bear Mountain BBQ Woods, crafter of gourmet, hardwood pellets. Bear Mountain BBQ pellets are made from 100% premium all-natural hardwoods, with no flavorings, fillers, or additives, which create amazing wood-smoke flavor.

Pellet grills have soared in popularity over the past few years and show no signs of slowing down, mostly due to the flavor, versatility and convenience they provide over other types of grills. Using a pellet grill along with hardwood pellets creates wood-fired flavor that truly elevates the overall grilling experience.

No pellet grill? No problem. Here are some alternate ways to use pellets on any type of grill or smoker.

• Fill a pellet smoking tube as directed by the manufacturer and light the pellets using a torch. When the flame goes out, the pellets will smolder and smoke.

This method is great for smoking food on gas and charcoal grills.

• Fold a large handful of pellets in foil and crimp the edges. Poke a few small holes in the pouch and place it on top of the burner or coals. This works great to reverse-sear food -- smoking first, then finishing over higher heat.

Just keep in mind, different pellet blends create different flavors. The team at Bear Mountain has dialed in the right combinations of hardwoods to craft the best flavor for different types of grilled meats and vegetables. A rule of thumb is stronger hardwoods add richness to beef, medium to mild woods pair perfectly with chicken, pork and vegetables, and lighter fruitwoods complement the delicious flavors of seafood. Having a variety of pellet types handy can help you become a more versatile grill master.

So what should you serve this Labor Day Weekend? For a dish that’s both down home and a cut above, try this Reverse Sear Tri-Tip recipe. Tri-tip is a perfect cut of meat to reverse sear and lock in that juicy, smoke flavor with a high-temperature finish. Straight from Bear Mountain’s recipe collection, you can use a pellet grill or a gas or electric grill with the folded foil method.

Prep time: 5 minutes Cook time: 1-2 hours, depending on size Ingredients: • 2-3 pounds tri-tip trimmed • 3 tablespoons Coffee Spice BBQ Rub (recipe on bearmountainbbq.com) • Olive oil Preparation: 1. Lightly coat the meat with olive oil, then Coffee Spice Rub to completely cover the meat.

2. Set grill to 225 F. When up to temperature, place meat on the center of the grill and close the lid.

3. Slow cook to approximately. 120 F, then increase the temperature to high to sear the outside.

4. Continue to cook until reaching an internal temperature of 130 F (for medium-rare).

5. Remove from the grill, tent with foil and let sit for 15 minutes. Remove foil, slice and serve.

For more recipes, tips and information about Bear Mountain pellets, visit bearmountainbbq.com.

With a few new grill techniques, you can make this Labor Day Weekend all about incredible flavor.

Top Laundry Tips to Treat Common Summer Stains (StatePoint) Summer living can make your family’s clothing vulnerable to stains, splatters and more, even if you are spending more time at home these days. But it’s possible to restore your family’s clothing to like-new condition every time laundry day rolls around with these tips and strategies: • Act quickly: The faster you treat a garment, the more likely you will successfully remove stains and odors. While portable stain sticks are a great option when out and about, you can also rely on some running water and hand soap.

• Understand stains: “Science shows that there is no one single ingredient that cleans everything well, so understanding the anatomy of a stain is essential,” says to Elli Frasier, director of product development for CR Brands, a cleaning products manufacturer.

For example, enzymes are required to treat protein-based stains like grass, while granularbased stains such as mud require detergents. For this reason, that quick soccer game in the backyard could easily become the precursor to laundry day difficulties. Throw some al fresco dining into the mix and your favorite item of clothing may really be in trouble. Here are a few common summer clothing pitfalls and how to handle them: • Tough workouts: When washing sweaty workout gear and other clothing, be sure laundry products contain odor-preventing ingredients. If your machine has a sports cycle, this may be a good setting to choose.

• Barbecues: Ketchup and other condiments take center stage at barbecues, but when they make contact with clothing, it’s important to target these stains correctly. The same is true of juice drinks, spaghetti sauce and wine. Pretreat such stains for 30 minutes or more with peroxide-containing products before washing.

• Grease: Whether changing the oil in your car or fixing a bicycle chain, maintenance tasks such as these can lend themselves to tough-to-treat grease stains. Agitate garments with a degreasing agent along with warm water before laundering.

• Choose a powerful weapon: The best way to ensure clothing comes out of the wash good-as-new is to select products containing a variety of stain-fighting ingredients, including enzymes, peroxides, whitening agents and detergents. For example, Biz Stain & Odor Eliminator, available in powder, liquid and boosters, can be used to both pretreat garments (by applying directly on the stain), as well as an additive (by pouring it into the wash along with your detergent). Proven to be 80 percent more effective at stain removal than detergent alone in independent third-party laboratory tests, it’s also safe to use on both colored garments and whites.

• Examine clothes post-wash: Before tossing garments in the dryer, ensure stains were actually removed during the wash cycle, as applying heat can set the stain.

• Read labels: When in doubt, check tags for proper care, particularly for delicates and special fabrics.

More laundry tips and information can be found by visiting bizstainfighter.com.

With a few tricks up your sleeve, you can enjoy all the mess summer has to offer care-free.

3 Ways to Make Your Yard a Safe Haven for Beautiful Birds (StatePoint) Without a few measures in place, your home and garden could be hazardous to birds. Here are some great ways to create a safe haven for beautiful flying visitors.

• Garden organically: Conventional pesticides can be toxic to birds, so ditch the dangerous chemicals. Did you know that there are essential oils that you can use instead that will do the job of warding off pests without harming birds -- or people for that matter? Protecting birds is not only the right thing to do, but their health and safety helps ensure their ability to feed on the very pests you’re trying to eliminate.

• Make windows visible: Your beautiful view can be a safety hazard to birds. Each year, millions of wild birds are killed in the U.S. alone by striking windows. Fortunately, there’s an easy action you can take to prevent this from happening, and it is to apply decals that reflect ultraviolet sunlight to your home’s windows, particularly those windows that are highly reflective of open sky. Doing so has been proven to substantially reduce the likelihood of bird strikes. Those from WindowAlert feature patterns that give the appearance of slightly frosted translucent glass, but glow like a stoplight for birds. The brand also makes WindowAlert UV Liquid, a high-tech liquid that offers even greater protection when applied between decals. To learn more, visit WindowAlert.com.

• Introduce bird-feeders, mindfully: Bird-feeders attract birds to your yard and give them a place to rest and refuel. However, it’s important not to unintentionally create a safety hazard with this addition. Because feeding birds are easily frightened and apt to take wild, evasive flight, the risk of birds striking windows can be elevated near birdfeeders. By using window decals, as well as by positioning feeders closer than three feet or farther than 30 feet from windows, you can create a safer space. Already have bird-feeders? Take a look at their current placement and make changes as needed.

Prepping for a Successful School Year (StatePoint) Whether heading back to the classroom or back to a digital device this fall, it is important to be prepared. Get your children set up for academic success with the following resources and gear: • Comfortable workstation: A few considerations will improve ergonomics and comfort, for better focus when working at home. Consider a height-adjustable table or desk as well as an adjustable chair in order to accommodate your growing child’s needs. If possible, select an area for your child to work that gets plenty of natural light. A good desk lamp is also essential.

• Math tools: Did you know that there are free math resources available online that can help to alleviate the challenges posed by remote-learning? Check out Casio’s learning site, available at CasioEducation.com/remote-learning, which provides math activities, YouTube videos, an online calculator and downloadable resources. The brand also offers a variety of models of scientific and graphing calculators, providing students of all levels with the features they’ll need to make the grade.

• Headphones: With so many distractions that can derail a student’s attention, a good set of noise-canceling headphones can make all the difference.

• Music instruction: Give kids the tools they need to play music wherever and whenever they’d like. With the ultra-compact LK-S250 keyboard, novices can easily learn to play favorite songs using the instrument’s Key Lighting system and library of built-in songs. By connecting to the free Chordana Play app, they can take lessons further by mastering favorite tunes from downloaded MIDI files. The class-compliant USB port connects to any Mac, PC, iOS or Android device with no drivers needed.

THE TRAIN:

At birth we boarded the train and met our parents, and we believe they will always travel by our side. As time goes by, other people will board the train; and they will be significant i.e. our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of your life. However, at some station our parents will step down from the train, leaving us on this journey alone.

Others will step down over time and leave a permanent vacuum. Some, however, will go so unnoticed that we don't realize they vacated their seats.

This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes, and farewells. Success consists of having a good relationship with all passengers requiring that we give the best of ourselves.

The mystery to everyone is: We do not know at which station we ourselves will step down. So, we must live in the best way, love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are. It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to step down and leave our seat empty we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.

I wish you all a joyful journey ~

• Functional fashion: The best accessories also serve a purpose. Look for a watch that has a range of features that help students stay on task. Check out the Pro Trek line of watches. Its different alarm settings can be used to keep a schedule.

Be sure kids are equipped for a successful school year, no matter where or how their learning takes place.

Top Tips to Mow Like a Pro (StatePoint) If you’re a homeowner who already has a nice lawn but you are looking to take its appearance to the next level, striping is a quick and easy way to do it, according to experts.

“All we’re doing with our equipment is we’re making our grass lay down in two different directions so that it looks nice and intentional,” says Brian Latimer, a landscaping expert and 2020 Exmark partner. “It’s simple to do, but gives the lawn a nice, professional, crisp look,”

To learn more, check out “Mow Like a Pro,” in which Latimer walks show host and landscape designer, Doug Scott through the finer points of lawn striping by visiting Exmark.com/Backyard. Exmark’s Backyard Life is part of a unique multimedia destination that has a focus on helping homeowners make the most of their backyard. While visiting the site, you can also access other Exmark Original Series, including “Prime Cuts,” “Done-In-AWeekend Extreme Projects” and “Dream Yards.”

With the right strategy, you can mow with greater confidence to achieve a lawn that looks professionally landscaped.

Latimer, who also happens to be a professional bass angler on the FLW tour, shared his lawn striping secrets in a recent episode of “Done-in-aWeekend Projects,” an Exmark Original Series. In the episode, Latimer notes that while having a striping kit can help you achieve the right look, it isn’t necessary, and you can stripe your lawn whether you are working with a 21-inch walk-behind mower or a 60-inch riding mower.

Another thing to consider, according to Latimer, is the type of grass you plant. Typically, the wider blade grasses, such as Kentucky bluegrass and fescue stripe better and are generally easier to mow. Whereas some of the grasses that you mow a lot closer, like centipede grass and Bermuda grass, are tougher to mow and don’t show their stripes quite as well. He suggests that for these grasses, it is best to use a striping kit.

Whatever type of mowing equipment or grass you have, you can achieve more visually defined lawn stripes by making multiple passes.

So Derek and I are doing some work outside today and I was pulling up some dead plants and I pulled up my dead sunflowers. As I was looking at the dead flower I noticed that all the seeds were in perfect condition to use and plant for next year. Which made me think you may feel dead inside and hopeless just like the dead sunflower but you still have hope inside to be born again by allowing God in your heart and with nurturing and the word of God, just like the planter of the seed does for it, giving it water and sunlight and food for growth it will soon turn into a tall strong sunflower đ&#x;Œť . So by simply asking God into your life and reading his word and praying for his guidance you too can grow into a strong Christian. And plant seeds of your own through out life by spreading his word. I hope this makes since like it did in my head đ&#x;˜Š -Shelby Bowman

Need some rest? Give this a try

By Jo Heather C. Dodson, Your Christian Coach

Are you getting tired of talking about COVID and the hostile political climate? Or maybe you have more personal and work issues that are draining your energy. If you are in the midst of battling churning thoughts and desperately want some rest, give this a try.

What is rest?

When I say the phrase “rest in the Lord,” you may be thinking I’m talking about being still and not taking action. But actually, when you look deeper into the word “rest,” there are times it means to take action while relying on and trusting in the Lord. Here’s an example:

In 2 Chronicles 14, it is written that King Asa was a follower of the Lord, which is demonstrated by his actions listed there. Later in his reign, Ethiopia came to battle Asa. The first thing Asa did was cry out to the Lord, putting his faith in God to deliver them. Here’s what he said: “Lord, it is nothing for You to help, whether with many or with those who have no power; help us, O Lord our God, for we rest on You, and in Your name we go against this multitude …”

What happened as a result of his prayer? Well, it says that the Lord struck the Ethiopians before Asa and Judah, and they fled.

What can you learn from Asa’s story? · No. 1: Talk to God first Asa prayed to God when he was faced with what seemed like insurmountable odds. He didn’t make his own plans and then ask God to bless them. He talked with God first. When things seem hopeless and your strength is gone, what do you do? What might happen if you prayed about things first?

· No. 2: Ask yourself: How are my thoughts limiting my actions?

You may be facing numerous difficulties. When you start to weigh out your options, what do you see? What do you think about the limitations and obstacles that come to your mind? As you think about these limits, which of them is too difficult for God to overcome?

· No. 3: Release your worry and enter a time of rest

You may be praying to God, but are you still trying to work out your own solution? And where’s your worry? 1 Peter 5:7 says: “Cast all your anxieties on the Lord because He cares for you!” How could it feel to fully rely on and trust in the Lord? What might happen if you released your fears and rested in Him?

Pastor Joseph Prince says: “Rest doesn’t mean inactivity. It means spiritdirected activity.” Think about it: How can you lean back and rest in the Holy Spirit, allowing Him to direct your actions this week?

If your life is changing and you’re not sure what’s your next step, Jo Heather, as a credentialed coach, can help. Find out more at YourChristianCoach,net or search the web @YourChristianCoach, @JoHeatherDodson, or @JoHeather.

Bits’n’Pieces

Volume 18 Issue 9

Presents: IN THE KITCHEN WITH OATMEAL It has been said, by T.S. Eliot, that at the end of our exploring we will arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. Well the same goes for Oatmeal, the humble servant of the ages. Everyone and their parents and grandparents have lived on Oatmeal. Prepare now to meet Oatmeal, again, for the First time. Prepare now to Taste Oatmeal, again, for the first time.

So where exactly did this exploring begin? Let’s have a look at a book that opens up food and nutrition in a whole new way. What if we could have real, unbiased information on foods we need to eat from someone with nothing to gain by sharing that information? Well, we do. With fanfare and drum roll enter Sally Fallon, with her blockbuster book NOURISHING TRADITIONS, having a near 5 star review from 2,645 ratings, on amazon.com where you can buy it used at a good discount. Sally says that oat products were the basic food of isolated Gaelic islanders, as oatcakes and porridge (like the Three Bears?), eaten at each meal. Oats were eaten, ensuring survival of the populace of Scotland. In these two regions oats have produced magnificent contributions to strength, endurance, energy, beauty and perceptiveness. Oats were discovered growing wild, as weeds, in barley fields in Russia, and thrived in the cold climates of Scotland, Ireland and England. They were planted in Massachusetts in the 1600’s and served as porridge for our growing nation!

That covers where oats came from, but what about why we are looking at this staple of our nation, today? Oats are rich in B vitamins, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium. They contain more natural oil than most grain. Oats are low in gluten, which is good news for those who require that, but it turns out that they contain more phytates than almost any other grain. Thus it is very important to SOAK OATS when preparing them!

Eating the oatmeal when it has not been soaked first will result in the above mentioned vitamins being robbed/stolen from the body, causing allergies, and irritation of the bowel, instead of the body gaining all of the health benefits from the grain! Enough of the DRY stuff of oatmeal. Let’s get to the JUICY how –to-do-it part of this article!

As discovered by the Scots, who prepared their oatmeal in large batches and put them in a drawer in the kitchen hutch, taking squares of congealed oatmeal out later to be prepared with a little water—this trick causes the oatmeal to ferment and removes the phytates, leaving only the healthy vitamins and fiber to be enjoyed by the body. For highest benefits and best assimilation, porridge should be soaked overnight or even longer. Once soaked, oatmeal cooks up in less than 5 minutes-truly a fast food. (Note: Those with severe milk allergies be sure to use lemon juice or vinegar in place of whey, yoghurt, kefir or buttermilk when soaking your oatmeal.)

So, here we go. No kitchen drawer will be needed. You are going to love this. In my opinion, this oatmeal tastes more like cobbler than oatmeal! Of course, I love to add fruit and nuts…but we will get to that.

BREAKFAST PORRIDGE From Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon You will need: 1 cup Oats, rolled or cracked 1 cup water, warm plus mixed with 2 Tablespoons of only one of these below: Pick Only One of whey, yoghurt, kefir, buttermilk, lemon juice, vinegar Any dried fruits will be added to the mix for soaking overnight with the oatmeal ½ teaspoon Sea Salt (this is added at cooking time) 1 cup water (this is added at cooking time) What You will DO: Mix oats with the warm water/plus 2 T of the ‘pick one of your choice’ Add any dried fruits at this time Leave on your counter, stovetop or in your cold oven for 7-24 hours.

To Cook Your Oatmeal Now you will need the last two ingredients listed in your ‘need’ list: ½ teaspoon Sea Salt and 1 cup water Bring these to a boil, add the soaked oat mixture, reduce heat, cover and simmer several minutes. Remove from heat.

Now you can be Creative.

Stir in butter, cream, natural sweetener, sucanat, date sugar, maple syrup, maple sugar or raw honey. You may add walnuts or pecans at this time. Add fresh berries or chopped apples.

YUM!! You will learn how much water to add or not add and how many dried oats it takes for your self or your family for breakfast. I use only about 1/3 cup of oats for two people, and reduce the other ingredients as needed. It really is quite forgiving and you can do as you like. We like fresh apples or even fried apples or peaches. It is a wonderful breakfast and is a staple for us no matter what else we add to the fare. After eating breakfast, we simply prepare tomorrow’s oatmeal and set it to soak, then it is ready for the next day! Easy Peasy!

The Nourishing Traditions book is filled with how and why to cook and use foods and all the stories and reasons for doing so. It is a wonderful read, even if you do not cook the recipes! Enjoy!

Thanks for being here! bitsnpiecesliberty@gmail.com We enjoy your company.

See you next month!

Recalculating 2020 has been a year filled with roadblocks, unexpected challenges, and a change in the way we have always done things. A task as simple as buying groceries has changed for most all Americans. Many people have converted to contactless shopping and simply drive up to the store to pick up their bagged groceries after an online order.

If you do go into the grocery store to shop, chances are you have gotten out of the car without your mask in hand on at least one occasion, forcing you to go back and grab it. Times have certainly changed.

As more and more roadblocks are being thrown our way, it is the perfect opportunity to recalculate and reevaluate our lives. Maybe there is a greater purpose in the year of the pandemic, 2020. Is it possible this year was thrown our way to get us to recalculate our current path? As frustrating as this year has been for many of us, it could be a turning point for us all. Is the world in need of a great reevaluation? Turn to the Bible and your answer will be an emphatic, “Yes!” As I contemplate the drastic changes taking place in our nation and my own path, I am reminded of the “The Parable of the Talents” in Matthew 15: 14-30.

Any recalculation of my path should include my use of the talents given to me. On my current path, am I hiding what God has blessed me with or am I investing it for growth? Am I letting God’s investment in me, by way of the talent He has given me, die with me or am I using it to bless others? What better time to reevaluate my gifts and how I am using them than now, when as a nation we are in mandated lockdown?

I have come to the conclusion that I can either sulk in my frustration with the changes I’m forced to deal with, compliments of 2020, or I can do what the caterpillar does. Take time to grow, transform, and take flight. Thanks to the events and challenges of this year, we all have the ability to recalculate, reevaluate, and take flight with the talents God has entrusted us with.

Why Your Child’s Back-to-School Eye Exam is So Important (StatePoint) This year, going back to school may mean attending class physically or virtually, with states and districts deciding on a case by case basis. Wherever your child attends school this fall, eye exams are essential for a successful academic year. Here’s what to know:

Volume 18 Issue 9

A couple of our Liberty residents doing volunteer work. Thanks Guys !

• When should I get my child’s eyes checked? The American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend having vision checked regularly, starting in infancy.

Not only will an eye exam help provide the clear vision necessary for a child to see the blackboard and work on digital devices without straining, but this essential visit can also detect a broad range of issues related to eye health and overall wellness.

Kids -- and adults for that matter -- don’t always know they are experiencing a vision problem. As a result, they may be compensating for vision issues by turning their head to the side, squinting or holding reading material up close or far away.

• What information should I share at the appointment? Be sure to share any behaviors or symptoms with your child’s doctor that could be related to eye health.

You should also mention all the activities and sports your child participates in which may be impacted by vision.

• Are contacts right for my child? Contact lenses may give the wearer a full field of clear, focused vision and many eye care professionals believe that children who demonstrate responsibility are excellent candidates for them. With many teens preferring contact lenses over glasses, this upcoming eye exam may be a good time to get your child fitted. And it makes sense in the current environment, as contact lenses can be a great alternative for glasses that fog up with a face mask.

Contact lenses that provide comfortable vision when working for long hours on digital devices can also prove to be beneficial. Research has shown that half of teens are almost constantly online -- between smartphone usage, video games, and school work -- it’s important to know that digital devices can contribute to reduced blink rates, which can lead to dryness. Ask your eye doctor about lenses that have a high moisture content, feel comfortable throughout the day and are easy to insert, like Biotrue ONEday contact lenses from Bausch + Lomb, which maintain nearly 100 percent of their moisture for a full 16 hours. The brand’s daily disposables are also a great choice for first-time wearers, as there is no need to clean and store the lenses after removal, just dispose of them and start with a fresh new pair each day.

Managing COPD During the COVID-19 Pandemic (StatePoint) Managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is always important, and especially so right now, as individuals living with a chronic lung disease are at a higher risk of severe illness and complications from COVID-19. However, misinformation about COVID-19 has made it hard for people with chronic conditions to determine how to stay safe.

Dr. Albert Rizzo, chief medical officer of the American Lung Association, is providing answers to common questions that the millions of Americans affected by COPD may have.

Q: What additional steps should I take to prevent becoming ill with COVID-19?

Because COVID-19 is a new disease in humans, our immune systems haven’t yet developed defenses against it and there’s currently no vaccine. The best way to avoid illness, regardless of age or health status, is avoiding exposure to the virus.

For individuals living with COPD, stringent adherence to safety precautions is vital. Stay home as much as possible. When in public, maintain social distance of at least six feet, wear a cloth face covering and encourage others to do the same. Also, wash your hands often and clean, then disinfect, frequently touched surfaces.

Q: How can I maintain control of my COPD during the COVID-19 pandemic?

COPD control is especially vital right now in case of exposure to the virus that causes COVID-19. Continue controller medications for COPD to maintain lung health. To limit potential exposure to COVID-19, find out if mail-order pharmacy options are available to you, and if your insurance allows, secure a 90-day supply of prescription medications. Don’t delay important visits or ignore flare-ups or new symptoms. COPD complications can become serious if left untreated. If telemedicine isn’t an option, bear in mind that doctor’s offices have adopted new safety practices during in-person visits.

Q: Should I continue to use my nebulizer at home?

Taking medication correctly is a major component in successfully controlling chronic lung diseases. In certain areas, there have been reported shortages of metered dose inhalers (MDIs) due to increased demand in healthcare settings. Nebulized therapy continues to be a safe, effective way to take inhaled medications at home during the pandemic, though special steps should be taken if you have suspected or confirmed COVID-19.

Some patients find that nebulized therapy is more affordable. Talk to your physician if you have concerns about affording your prescribed medications or delivery options. Also, visit Lung.org/nebulizers to access video tutorials on proper nebulizer use and maintenance.

Q: What additional precautions should I take if I have suspected or confirmed COVID-19?

If you have suspected or confirmed COVID-19, maintain home isolation to protect other household members. This includes the following additional safety precautions when using your nebulizer: • Wash your hands before and after treatment.

• Use your nebulizer in an area that minimizes potential exposure of aerosolized droplets to other household members. You might consider an outdoor patio or porch, or a room indoors where the air is not recirculated throughout the house and nobody else will enter for 1-2 hours, which is long enough for the droplets to no longer be airborne.

• Clean and disinfect your nebulizer.

Your healthcare provider will work with you on when you can discontinue home isolation and resume normal nebulizer use. Contact them at the first sign of new, severe or concerning respiratory symptoms for a home treatment plan. While most people recover from COVID-19 at home, having COPD elevates risk for severe symptoms. Seek emergency care for the following symptoms: trouble breathing, pain or pressure in your chest, development of a bluish tinge to your lips or face, and new confusion or inability to wake or stay awake.

Q: Where can I find trusted information?

You can trust the American Lung Association to provide science-based information and resources.

Visit Lung.org or call 1-800-LUNGUSA for more information about COPD, COVID-19, nebulized therapy or any other respiratory topic.
