• Has Don ever missed a day since 1972? Yes, eight times. The first was in 1982 when a snowstorm closed the restaurant. He chose to abstain on the day his mother died in 1988, in honor of the request she had made. He missed one Thanksgiving, lost a couple of days when he was traveling and couldn’t find a McDonald’s, and another few days when he had to work late. This prompted Don to keep an “emergency stash” in his freezer.

Q:

Is Oprah Winfrey still acting? She was so good in “The Color Purple” years ago, but now that she’s became more famous for her talk show, I think people have trouble realizing she’s also a great actress. Is she going to be in any more movies? -- A.S.

A:

You’re correct! Through the magic

of prosthetics and makeup, both Charlize Theron and Nicole Kidman transformed their looks ever so slightly but effectively to play former FOX news personalities Megyn Kelly and Gretchen Carlson.

In fact, Theron had both nose and chin prosthetics for her transformation. “Bombshell,” which will premiere in theaters Dec. 20, is about both of these women’s sexual harassment claims against their former boss, Roger Ailes, played by John Lithgow. The movie also stars Margot Robbie, Alanna Ubach and Connie Britton.

Incidentally, HBO also did a biopic on Ailes this past summer as a seven-episode limited series that starred Russell Crowe and Naomi Watts. *** I’ve been watching “Parks and Rec reation” on Netflix after having never watched

Q:

King Features Weekly Service

in 1985 playing Sofia in “The Color Purple” and earned an Oscar nomination. However, her legacy will likely always be for hosting her weekday afternoon syndicated talk show that ran from 1986 to 2011, which is no small feat. She also has a magazine and a cable network named after her, but the words “Oscar nominee” are still less identifiable with the name Oprah.

That could change, though, if she keeps acting in critically acclaimed roles. More recently, she’s appeared in two films based on best-selling books: “A Wrinkle in Time” and “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.” Next up for Oprah the actress is a remake of the classic film “Terms of Endearment,” directed by Lee Daniels. *** I saw a picture of Charlize Theron

playing former FOX News host Megyn Kelly, and her nose looked different, more pinched, like Kelly’s. Is she wearing a prosthesis for the role? My husband thinks I’m crazy and that it’s her same old nose. Who’s right?

Yes – a Renova consultant can visit with you to determine what the battery can keep powered for the amount of time you need each evening. That could include the refrigerator, garage door opener, circuits for your computer and modem, and then a switch in your bedroom so you could run a little split AC in case it happens in the summer. A single battery won’t power your whole home, but you can be comfortable until the power comes back on and the solar will continue to recharge the battery as long as needed.

Oh wow – that’s great! Can the battery do anything else or does it just wait for an emergency?

A: Many people also choose to have

their battery programmed to discharge a bit each evening when the power is still expensive, so they don’t have to buy as much power from the grid. This is using excess power that has been generated with solar earlier in the day. The battery can’t make power, but it can shift it to when you need it.

This can add to your savings, and you can retain enough power in the battery in case there is an outage. You don’t want to drain it completely every day because if there’s an outage late in the day it won’t have time to be filled back up with stored energy.

Renova Energy is an award-winning local company founded a decade ago that designs and installs commercial and residential solar and advanced battery systems. Solar consultants will answer all your questions and help you decide if solar is right for you - not pressure you into buying a system.

shelters are full of unwanted Chihuahuas. The thing about trends is they always come to an end.

Who pays the price? The animals, organizations like PAWED and the people who want to adopt from them.

When a shelter is operating at beyond capacity -- and almost all are these days -- it is forced to raise adoption fees to cover costs. Higher fees, in turn, keep people from adopting. It’s a sickening cycle that demonstrates the high cost of careless behavior.

One way to stop or at least slow the cycle is for animal lovers who want to support the good work of their local shelters to make a donation to that shel-

ter to subsidize adoption fees. Low adoption feesContact are your Tidbits representative immediately with changes or corrections.

ADVICE Answers to YOUR Financial, Medicare and Health Insurance questions.

Doug Wright, Wright WrightHealth Capital Insurance Group,Agency Inc.

Fax: 760-320-1630

If you have coverage through an individual Marketplace plan, (Covered California or Obamacare, not through an employer), you should end your Marketplace coverage and enroll in Medicare during your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP).

This will avoid a delay in future Medicare coverage and the possibility of a lifetime Medicare late enrollment penalty.

Easy cleaning: Keeping the tub clean should be a priority, especially if you get a therapy tub because of the bacteria that can grow in it. So, look for tubs with self-cleaning systems.

Warranty: The best walk-in bathtubs on the market today are made in the USA. Also make sure the company you choose has a lifetime “leakproof” door seal warranty and lengthy warranties on both the tub and the operating system.

by

What if I Become Eligible for Medicare After I Join a Marketplace Plan?

Fast fill and drain: One drawback to using a walk-in bathtub is that the bather must sit in the tub as it fills and drains, which can make for a chilly experience. To help with this, consider a tub that has fast-filling faucets and pump-assisted drainage systems, which significantly speed up the process. But these options may require some plumbing modifications to your bathroom.

email: valleybits@msn.com

Dear Betty: Walk-in tubs are a good option for mobility challenged seniors because they’re much easier to get into and out of than a standard tub, and help prevent slips, trips and falls too. Here’s what you should know:

The Basics

Walk-in bathtubs are uniquely designed tubs that have a watertight, hinged door built into the side of the tub that provides a much lower threshold to step over (usually 2.5 to 7 inches) versus a standard tub that’s around 15 inches.

Contact your Tidbits representative immediately with changes or corrections.

DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: Because of my mobility problems, I’m thinking about getting a walk-in bathtub that’s easy to get into and out of. I could use some information about them and the names of some reputable companies that make and install them. --Bathing Beauty Betty

Turkey Platter Is out of the Woods

You have an earthenware teapot. It was made by James Sadler and Sons Ltd. They made terra cotta and earthenware teapots in the town of Burslem in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England, from 1899 to around 2000. Many of their teapots were figural. Their 1930 edition of a yellow racing car trimmed in silver lustre is still coveted by collectors. They also produced myriad earthenware Brown Betty teapots that can be recognized by the Rockingham brown glaze.

In 2000, they were forced into receivership, and Churchill China purchased the rights to use Sadler and Sons’ name and designs.

Your teapot is circa 1960 and might be worth $25 to $35.

Q:

This is a photo of a large, round, blue and white plate that I have. It is decorated with a big turkey in the center and large flowers with leaves on the rim. The plate measures 10 inches in diameter and is in ver y good condition. On the back is a mark of a man holding a sign with the words “Wood’s -- Burslem -- England.” Also, on either side of the mark are the names “Enoch 1784 and Ralph 1750.”

I hope you can tell me something about the histor y of my plate and its value.

Sadler and Sons were located in Staffordshire, England.

Those 90 meals consumed in that 30-day period were equal to what nutritionists recommend a person should consume over a period of eight years! It took Spurlock over 14 months to lose the pounds and return to his normal healthy weight. �

Every once in a while all golfers go through a stretch of poor putting from inside four feet.

These “knee knockers” sometimes become more of a mental hurdle than a challenge on mechanics or green reading.

Rather than trying to stick to a rigid set of principles on your form, try experimenting with an old school type of “pop” stroke to change things up.

Many golfers error with short backswings and long follow throughs on short putts, so try reversing the image with a shorter follow through. In fact, try hitting these short putts with roughly an eight inch backstroke (minimally) and then stop the follow through immediately upon impact.

The Natural Laws of Golf

There may be a tightening of the arms and hands to hold this follow through from going too far forward. You’ll be feeling like the stroke “pops” at the ball, rather than releasing through.

One of the advantages of the pop stroke is that it reduces the putter face’s rotation through ADVERTISING PROOF impact, which causes the majority of missed putts. DUE: Finalshort Changes 5:00
