RISK-FREE

Investing in your debt is risk-free. Using the example above, let’s say you bought ABC stock instead of paying off $1,000 of debt. Next month, the stock value drops by 50%. Now your stock is worth $500.

But on the other hand, if you pay off debt with that $1,000 and ABC stock tanks, it does not affect your net worth at all. That $1,000 investment in your debt increased your net worth without any risk.

Older children, ages 9 through 18, statistically are harder to place, and many age out of the foster care system without ever having been adopted. Partnering up with the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services, Kidsave aims to “turn the adoption process on its head” by giving these kids the chance to find parents who are the right fit for them. I would imagine you have to keep a box of Kleenex handy while watching this show.

Since there has been only one season so far, I’ll keep my fingers crossed that there will be a second, but as of yet an official renewal hasn’t been announced. If you can’t find episodes in your local guide, be sure to check them out online at www. aetv.com/shows/the-day-I-picked-my-parents. ***

Q:

What is Alison Sweeney doing now that she’s not hosting “The Biggest Loser”?

-- T.B.

A:

Sweeney still pops up occasionally on “Days of Our Lives” as Sami, the role she grew up playing on the NBC soap. She became known outside of the daytime soap world for hosting “The Biggest Loser” for eight years, but stepped down in 2015. The busy star also has done many TV movies over the years, and next up she’ll play a widow opposite Lucas Bryant in “Time for You to Come Home for Christmas” on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. It’s being produced by country singer Blake Shelton.

"This isn't exactly helping to build my memories of a happy childhood."

Q: Yikes! But isn’t solar expen-

sive?

A:

Not when you consider the savings. But you can lease your system if you like and enjoy no money down, free installation and then fixed payments for 20 years that are substantially less than your current average electric bill. As your neighbor’s electric bills continue to rise, your payments will stay the same – no more huge summer spike! And if you like, you can also add a battery for peace-ofmind with backup power in case the grid goes down. Call a local company like Renova and they can explain all your options and then prepare a free customized quote.

Apps and Calling Services

If your mom has a smartphone, there are apps she could use to help her keep up with her medication. One of the best is Medisafe (MyMedisafe.com), a free app that works on Apple and Android phones. Medisafe will organize your mom’s pills in one place, send her timely notifications to take her meds, and send her reminders to fill her prescriptions.

Dear Working: Anybody who juggles multiple medications can relate to the problem of forgetting to take their dosage, or not remembering whether they already took it. This is especially true for older adults who take medications at varying times of the day. Here are some different product and service solutions that may help.

Convenient Packaging

Another way to help simplify your mom’s medication use is to get her prescriptions filled in single-dose packets that put all her medications (vitamins and over-the-counter drugs can be included too) together in neatly labeled packets organized by date and the time of day they should be taken. This does away with all the pill bottles and pill sorting. One of the top providers of this type of service is PillPack.com, an online pharmacy owned by Amazon.

If you are eligible for Medicare coverage, you are also eligible for the Medicare drug benefit (Part D). You must be enrolled in Medicare Part A and/or Part B to enroll in Part D. Medicare drug coverage is only available through private plans. If you have Medicare Part A and/or Part B and you do not have other drug coverage (credible coverage), you should enroll in a Part D plan. This is true even if you do not currently take any prescription drugs. If you delay enrollment in Part D for any amount of time and find that you need drug coverage later, you will incur a premium penalty.

Porcelain Grapes Are Lustrous

Q:

I am enclosing a photo of a porcelain decanter and two small matching cups.

They all are decorated with a satin finish.

None is marked, but I believe they may have been made by Royal Bayreuth. They were purchased from an antiques shop approximately 40 years ago.

It is a poor photo and doesn’t portray the color accurately. The decanter is shaped like a bunch of purple grapes with green leaves and vines, and the cups have green handles.

Can you tell me if my set was indeed made by Royal Bayreuth, along with its age and value?

Cooks have relied on cast-iron kitchenware for well over one hundred years.

A:

Your mini cast-iron skillet was made by

The Griswold Manufacturing Co. They produced cast-iron cookware from 1865 to the late 1950s. “No 3” is the size.

Cooks have prepared meals for many years using their Dutch ovens, skillets, roasters, kettles, waffle irons and pots. The skillets were available in a variety of sizes. If maintained correctly, they can be handed down from generation to generation.

In 1957, Wagner Manufacturing Co., located in Sidney, Ohio, bought Griswold Manufacturing Co. They closed in 1999.

Your small skillet was made around 1940 and might be worth $25 to $75.

Royal Bayreuth was founded in 1794.

A:

You have a figural syrup pitcher with matching cups. Royal Bayreuth did not always mark their pieces.

The factory was founded in 1794 in the Thuringian hills in Germany. For over 200 years, they have made porcelain dinnerware, coffee sets and tea sets, as well as a plethora of novelties. Their figural fruits categories include grapes, lemons, cherries and apples. They were often decorated with a lustre glaze.

Your figural grape syrup pitcher and matching cups were made around the turn of the last century. Similar Royal Bayreuth sets can be seen for sale on the internet in a wide range, from $125 to $250. *** This mark is on the bottom of a small cast-iron skillet that I bought at a yard sale. Included with the mark are the words “Erie -- Pa. U.S.A. -- No 3.” It is 7 inches in

* On Nov. 1, 1512, the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome, one of Italian artist Michelangelo’s finest works, is exhibited to the public for the first time. After demonstrating his mastery of sculpture, Michelangelo was called to Rome in 1508. * On Oct. 31, 1776, in his first speech before British Parliament since the Americans signed the Declaration of Independence, King George III acknowledges that all is not going well for Britain in the war. The British would formally surrender five years later. * On Oct. 30, 1938, Orson Welles causes a public panic with his broadcast of “War of the Worlds” -- a realistic radio dramatization of a Martian invasion of Earth. Welles had little idea of the havoc it would cause among radio listeners. * On Nov. 3, 1948, the Chicago Tribune jumps the gun and mistakenly declares New York Gov. Thomas Dewey the winner of his presidential race with incumbent Harry Truman in a front-page headline: “Dewey Defeats Truman.” Truman would win by 114 electoral votes. * On Oct. 29, 1956, Israeli armed forces push into Egypt toward the Suez Canal, initiating the Suez Crisis. They would soon be joined by French and British forces. The catalyst for the attack was the nationalization of the Suez Canal by Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nasser. * On Oct. 28, 1965, construction is completed on the Gateway Arch, a spectacular 630-foot-high parabola of stainless steel on the waterfront of St. Louis, Missouri. An internal tram system takes visitors to the top of the arch. * On Nov. 2, 1982, a fuel truck in a military convoy explodes in the 1.7-mile long Salang Tunnel in Afghanistan, killing an estimated 3,000 people, mostly Soviet soldiers traveling to Kabul. Believing it to be an attack, troops closed both ends of the tunnel, trapping people inside. (c) 2019 Hearst Communications, Inc. All Rights Reserved

• Although the words rainforest and jungle are sometimes thought to be the same thing, there are many differences between the two.

Rainforests have thick canopies of tall trees that block out the light, while jungles let light in, contributing to abundant plant life that frequently makes it difficult to navigate through the thick vegetation. The lack of sunlight entering through a rainforest’s canopy keeps vegetation from springing up on the floor. The floor of a rainforest is wet and soft, while the jungle floor is hard. Rainforests are constantly wet, while jungles are in dry areas. Jungles are frequently found surrounding rainforests.

• The bark of the Tabebuia tree, found in Central and South American rainforests, produces an extract that is brewed into a tea called lapacho.

It’s been known to help with infections, allergies, diabetes, asthma, and bronchitis, as well as helping alleviate side effects of chemotherapy.

• Although the potential for many other medicinal uses is believed to exist, just one percent of all the rainforest plants available have so far been assessed and approved for medical use.

• The millions upon millions of trees in Earth’s rainforests take in enormous amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and produce much of the oxygen that both humans and animals worldwide depend upon for life. For this reason, scientists have called rainforests the “lungs” of our planet. �

Center face contact should be the number one fundamental on any players’ list. When you mishit the center of the face, you’ll lose distance and direction control if the mishit is severe enough. If you’ve ever seen a top player’s set of irons, you’ll see a dime size wear spot in the center of the face. A swing’s effectiveness should be measured by its ability to consistently hit center face contacted shots.

The secret to gaining mastery of the center hit is creating awareness and feedback to the true space your clubhead is passing through.

By using two tees spaced a little over a clubhead apart, start by swinging through the open space until you’re aware of how you govern the space you pass through. Then hit shots with enough room to hit the ball, yet not hit the tees.

Take note of where your consistent mishits tend to occur.

Information in the Tidbits® Paper is gathered from sources considered to be reliable but the accuracy of all information cannot be guaranteed.

Sometimes you’ll make changes to the setup distances, or you’ll develop feelings with the swing that create a correct pass through space inADVERTISING order to hit center contacted shots.

Either PROOF way, you’re bound to get better with your ball Finalstriking.
