TIP 1 If your favorite pair of jeans have faded too much, use an in-washer dye to freshen up the color! You can darken the blue or black on faded pants or t-shirts, too. Just be careful about embroidery because that will darken, as well.

TIP 2 To hang a poster without risking damage to a wall, apply a piece of low-tack painter’s tape to the wall.

Then run a line of hot glue along the tape and push the poster into place. The poster sticks to the glue, which sticks to the tape on the wall. The tape can be removed later with no damage to the wall.

TIP 3 To get a bloodstain out of clothing, douse the stain with hydrogen peroxide and then wash as usual.

Tips to help build your mental strength

We rely on our mental strength to carry us through the twists and turns of life. Those who are mentally strong tend to face adversity with far more ease than those who are struggling to believe in themselves. The following simple suggestions can help you build up your mental and emotional strength.

1. Pursue your passion Inner strength comes from knowing that you are living an authentic life. By giving yourself permission to pursue whatever it is that you are passionate about, you are supporting yourself emotionally and mentally.

2. Become your own best friend It is often said that you cannot love another until you love yourself. A positive self-image is a key ingredient to increasing your mental strength. When you learn to accept and love who you are, you will feel more confident in handling anything that life throws at you.

3. Disconnect from technology We are inundated with technology. With the prevalence of social media in our lives, it is easy to begin comparing yourself to others. Remember that what you see on the screen is only a snapshot of another’s experience. By disconnecting from technology, you will reconnect with your own unique spirit.

4. Spend time with a good book Reading has numerous benefits for the mind, and studies have shown that bookworms tend to lead happier, more fulfilling lives.

Reading a good book calms the nerves and engages your mind, increasing your ability to face your own life challenges.

5. Learn to let go Like “Frozen’s” Elsa constantly reminds us, sometimes you just need to “Let it go!” Holding grudges does more than impact your mood, it lowers your ability to handle emotions and move forward in life. Forgive the past, and use your own mental strength to move on to bigger and better things.

When you focus on supporting your mind, body and spirit, you will find that you discover the strength within you to face any challenge.

in everyday challenges is the first step to creating a solution.” Here are some tips.

HOPE

GIVE

Spread hope in your life

With seemingly constant negative news reports, you may feel like there is little to feel hopeful about these days, but experts say that having hope is a powerful tool in good times and bad. “Whether you’ve lost a job or a loved one, or you’re experiencing general feelings of despair, hope can give you strength and renew your potential and purpose,” says life coach Dr. Rosalind Tompkins. “Finding hope

Take a hope break Schedule five minute “hope breaks” into your normal routine. Find a quiet place, take five to 10 deep breaths and think about good things happening, instead of the worst-case scenario. Make an affirmation and speak it out loud. Repeat as often as needed.

Take action Set goals and move forward, focusing on results. Surround yourself with people who believe in you and your progress.

Volunteer Spread hope to your community by giving time, food and money to those in need. Whether you clean up a local park, read to children in schools or volunteer in a food pantry, you’ll be spreading hope to those who need it, which can help you feel more hopeful, too.

Have a chat Is there someone in your life who needs hope?

Prepare yourself for a conversation with that person by turning on your own belief that things can get better. Start the conversation with something like, “I care about you and wanted to check in with you to see how things are going.”

Ask them to share what they are going through and be prepared to listen.

Let them know that you are there for them and reinforce feelings of hope.

Get involved In the spirit of spreading positivity, Dr. Tompkins has a goal of seeing 10,000 “Hope Connections” take place throughout 2018.

Cherilyn Sarkisian began her career in 1965 with a No. 1 hit record, “I Got You Babe,” as part of the musical duo Sonny and Cher. Fast-forward 53 years, and a 72-yearold Cher is hotter than ever. She’s headlining Las Vegas, at The Park Theater in The MGM Hotel (Oct. 31 to Nov. 17). She has added ABBA songs, including “Dancing Queen,” “Gimme!

Gimme! Gimme!” and “Mamma Mia” into her live shows, and dropped a new album Sept. 28 with ABBA songs. She has been nominated for two Oscars—for “Silkwood” (1984) and “Moonstruck” (1988), for which she won—seven Emmys (one win), six Golden Globes (three wins), eight Grammys (one win), six People’s Choice Awards (one win) and now she’ll receive The Kennedy Center Honors on Dec. 2. Since Cher has won an Emmy, an Oscar and a Grammy, she only needs a Tony Award to become a member of the elite EGOT club of entertainers who’ve won all four awards.

LIVING SOLEY ON SOCIAL SECURITY Plan ahead to avoid unpleasant surprises

180°

We are different than the competition.

Address: 4215 W Fortune Dr, Anthem, AZ 85086

A big percentage of retired seniors only have Social Security for income. The average Social Security benefit is $1,409.91 per month. Taken together, those two facts can be scary, but less so if you make plans in advance.

ProSkill is not a franchise company, ProSkill is localy owned and operated. We strive to provide the highest value to our customers with our fare pricing, excellent customer service and quick response.

If you know you’ll have only Social Security, there are big steps you can take now. Consider moving to a location with a lower cost of living. Share your home with someone. Wait as long as possible before collecting Social Security.

We are professionals! You can be assured that we will arrive clean on-time and in uniform.

We also ware booties, use drop cloths and clean up our work area to protect yuor home.

2. Mail in highlighted sheet to ProSkill address with contact information or email photo and contact information to contest@proskillservices.com.

1. There are 10 grammatical and/or spelling errors in ProSkill’s business description. Find and highlight all errors in the following statement.

$150 Visa gift card. Must read and FOLLOW all rules.

Become familiar with senior services in your area so you know where and what they are. Think it through before you jump. For many seniors, it’s the only option.

3. Winner will be chosen November 12, 2018.

Use your extra money to pay off all credit cards. Have car maintenance done. Pay ahead on property taxes.

Consider what items you need to buy now, while you have income. If self-employed, be aware of your tax situation, and what you’ll owe when.

ProSkill has no service charge during normal business hours. That’s right, we will come out and give you a FREE on-site estimate. When you chose ProSkill Plumbing, Heating, & Air, there are no strings attached.

Give serious consideration to having a Medicare supplement plan to take care of medical expenses that Medicare doesn’t cover (for more information call Cruz Insurance Advisors at 623-826-2580).

Our tech team is amongst the highest rated group of professionals in the valley with over 2,600 five star reviews! We have acheived these ratings because we stand behind all that we do, not becuase we are perfect.

Practice for at least six months (a year is better) living on that smaller amount to be sure it can be done.

Calculate your monthly expenses and keep track of every dime you spend to identify places you can cut back. Get on a “budget billing” plan for utilities so you’re billed the same amount each month.

We do not cell, we educate. We believe, the most satisfied type of customer is one who is informed. We have built our loyal customer base, by providing honest, unbiased information and diagnostics.

It’s the smaller steps, however, that can make or break your efforts to live only on Social Security. Start your planning a year in advance. Call Social Security and find out what your benefit amount is going to be. Be sure to calculate the deduction that will automatically come out for Medicare.

LOVE

Let Your Love Grow Stronger

by Harvey Powers, Ph.D.

Does what doesn’t kill you; make you stronger?

Now that’s an interesting question in the context of relationships, don’t you think?

Ernest Hemmingway wrote in Farewell to Arms that “The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.” His point is that if we do not allow ourselves to bend enough to be broken, life will kill us. Here are some thoughts applying this wisdom to relationships.

Rigidity in relationships can be deadly Trying to force change in our partner will not work.

Forcing results in an immovable object meeting an irresistible force. Shifting must be voluntary.

• Consider developing the art of bending or compromise.

• Choose regularly to spontaneously give a little rather than stand your ground.

• Soften your heart, because hardened hearts shatter.

Choose to become better, not bitter The choice is always there. When we let hurt metastasize into bitterness it creates relational toxicity. Someone once said, “Bitterness is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to die.”

• Don’t deny relational hurts but don’t wallow in them.

• Keep short accounts and forgive easily.

• Ask yourself: What do “I” need to learn from this?

Attitude matters We all create a narrative in our head about relational wounds. It’s the story we tell ourselves.

These stories construct a mindset or vibe we put out.

Attitudes also become filters limiting what we see.

• Eavesdrop on your internal narrative about your partner. Ask, “What’s an alternate and generous story I can tell myself about my partner?”

• Cultivate the attitude of looking for the best in your partner, not the worst.

• Surround yourself with those who tell stories about the “best” in their spouses.

AAA SENIOR PLACEMENT AZ A Message from Sue Royer “I was born and raised in inner city Chicago, the sixth of eighteen children with fifteen brothers. Being the oldest daughter, I was always a caregiver which I believe influenced me to pursue work in the healthcare industry. Today, I have three daughters and five grandchildren.

Years ago, I volunteered for hospice and knew immediately that helping seniors was my calling. I was soon employed by hospice but I felt something was missing. I realized it was the limited time I was able to spend with my clients. Having my own business allows me to provide the intimate hands on service needed in our community. I am committed to our seniors throughout their lives and I thank the community for the opportunity to serve.”

A: Yes, some stores that sell dogs, cats or other pets have been offering “pet loans” so that buyers can finance the several thousands of dollars the pets cost. The catch: Some of these loans actually are leases, with much longer payment periods.

According to the ASPCA, these “leases” can result in pet owners, who thought they were paying $1,500 to $3,000 for a purebred dog, shelling out more than $5,000. And if the pet dies during the lease period, the buyers are expected to continue making payments! These leases are not illegal except in Nevada and California, where they’ve banned this practice.

HOME FALL FIXES

by Courtney Cavanaugh Greger

October is the perfect time to get to those home maintenance items you keep shuffling to the side. The good news is most can be done yourself in a minimal amount of time. Doing the small things on this list will increase the efficiency of your home while keeping your energy costs down!

Change your filters Jump on a ladder and get those fresh air filters in! Don’t forget the one most often missed—the furnace filter (which is usually at the bottom of the unit). Changing it or cleaning it will make the furnace work more efficiently when the weather cools.

Check weather stripping Can you see a lot of light under that door?

Chances are you need new weather stripping to seal it up again. You can buy weather stripping at any home improvement store. Just follow the directions for installation.

Change batteries This is the perfect time to change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Clean dryer vents A clogged dryer vent can cause fires. Simply remove the silver venting attached to the dryer and vacuum out the vent.

Clean ceiling fan blades When you climb up to reverse the fan’s direction for the winter, clean those fan blades. It’s amazing how much dust they collect!

Wherever the pain is, we can help!

WHERE DOES IT HURT?

Foot Solutions has been exceptionally successful in helping our customers find relief from: • Heel Pain • Plantar Fascitis • Flat Feet • High Arches • Diabetic Feet • Knee Pain • Hammer Toe • Metatarsalgia • Morton’s Neuroma • And More!

FLASHBACK ANSWERS From pg. 20

1. Phoebe Snow, in 1974 on her debut album with the same title. It was her first song to hit the charts.

2. Natalie Cole, in 1977. Twenty years later, Mary J. Blige released a cover of the song.

3. The Style Council. The band grew to include a drummer and vocalist, and then others depending on the song project.

4. The Four Tops.

5. “Build Me Up Buttercup,” by The Foundations, in 1968. Colin Young had just joined the group, and that was their first hit. In 2003, Young created an updated version using the Surrey (U.K.) police department as backup. Profits went to a fund in memory of a murdered local girl.

COUCH THEATER

NOW OUT ON DVD AND BLU-RAY!

Won’t You Be My Neighbor (PG-13) It’s no surprise that director Morgan Neville’s “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” is the highest-grossing biographical documentary of all time. Over the course of 31 seasons of “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood,” Fred Rogers was a man who modeled empathy, hope, acceptance and, without fail, love for all of us, big and small.

Adrift (PG-13) This tale of disaster, resilience and romance set on the high seas stars Shailene Woodley and Sam Claflin.

When Tami Oldham (Woodley) and Richard Sharp (Claflin) meet and fall in love in Tahiti, then are booked to sail a yacht from Tahiti to San Diego. Into their path, a category 5 hurricane develops, which they miraculously survive.

When Sharp is physically incapacitated, Oldham must somehow work to save them both against all odds.

MOMENTS IN TIME

WHAT HAPPENED IN HISTORY

quickly grew into one of the richest mining towns in the Southwest. The struggle between these two groups for control ended in a blaze of gunfire at the OK Corral.

Big events that occurred in the month of October

October 17, 1931 Gangster Al Capone is sentenced to 11 years in prison for tax evasion and fined $80,000, signaling the downfall of one of the most notorious criminals of the 1920s and 1930s.

Alphonse Gabriel Capone was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1899 to Italian immigrants.

October 18, 1867 U.S. takes possession of Alaska after purchasing the territory from Russia for $7.2 million, or less than two cents an acre.

The Alaska purchase comprised 586,412 square miles, about twice the size of Texas.

October 22, 1962 The Cuban Missile Crisis begins. In a televised speech of extraordinary gravity, President John F. Kennedy announces that U.S. spy planes have discovered Soviet missile bases in Cuba. These missile sites—under construction but nearing completion—housed medium-range missiles capable of striking a number of major cities in the United States, including Washington, D.C. October 26, 1881 The Earp brothers face off against the ClantonMcLaury gang in a legendary shootout at the OK Corral in Tombstone, Arizona. After silver was discovered nearby in 1877, Tombstone

October 27, 1904 New York’s subway opens at 2:35 in the afternoon.

While London boasts the world’s oldest underground train network (opened in 1863), the New York City subway soon became the largest American system.

HEALTH

DENTIST YOU CAN TRUST & TALK TO

A survey from a few years ago revealed that doctors themselves believe that patient trust is waning.

Of more than 2,000 physicians surveyed, 87 percent said that patients trust doctors less than they did 10 years ago.

Online physician reviews came under fire in another survey when approximately half of patients said they only somewhat trust the reviews. That’s something to consider when using those reviews to find a new doctor.

What happens when we don’t entirely trust our doctor? We tend not to listen. We might, therefore, not take it seriously when we’re told to cut back on sodium or get a flu shot—both of which (or anything else they tell us) can lead to health complications.

What do we need for trust to either be present, or to rebuild after it’s faded?

For some of us, it would be as simple as having a doctor who talks to us directly. That would be far better than him or her simply inputting data into a laptop and clicking boxes to make a list of our ailments and then hitting the send button to have a prescription slip print out with no medical intervention whatsoever!
