Then, we drop them into jars of leftover pickle juice and keep them in the fridge. The pickled eggs are great shredded over potato salad or casseroles, atop green salad, in a quick and tasty egg salad (shredded, with mayonnaise) or even eaten whole, as a snack. -- Patty

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

®

by Mary Hunt

I wrote back for more details: “Any pickle juice? Sweet, dill? Do you mix or must they be kept in separate jars?”

By Samantha Weaver

Use This for That

* It was Margaret Chase Smith, the first woman to serve in both houses of the U.S. Congress, who made the following sage observation: “Those of us who shout the loudest about Americanism in making character assassinations are all too frequently those who, by our own words and acts, ignore some of the basic principles of Americanism: The right to criticize; The right to hold unpopular beliefs; The right to protest; The right of independent thought.”

One of the best ways to recycle responsibly -- and save a few bucks at the same time -- is to find a second life for something you might otherwise toss in the trash. Some ideas are pretty well-known, like using plastic grocery bags for trash can liners and the lid® from a liquid detergent container for a biscuit cutter. So, when a reader sendsbyinMary a tipHunt for how to use this for that that I’ve not heard of before, or an idea for how to use something I own already to avoid buying something I don’t, that reader gets my attention!

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

* According to historians, British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill slept on silk sheets and wore silk underwear. It seems he had very sensitive skin, and rough fabric made him break out in a rash.

Here, for your recycling pleasure, are just a few tips that have washed up on my desk recently: STORING SCARVES DEAR MARY: Use the plastic rings that are attached to a six-pack of soda to organize your scarves. Hang the plastic rings, still attached, over a hook on a clothes hanger. Pull your scarves through the rings so they hang loosely, wrinkle-free. --Sue

* It probably won’t surprise you to learn that members of the Sampit tribe in Borneo eat bananas. What is surprising, though, is that they don’t remove the peels first. * In the 1979 gubernatorial election in Louisiana, a man named Luther Knox was fed up with the candidates on the ballot. In order to give like-minded Louisianans an option, he ran for the office himself -- after legally changing his name to “None of the Above.”

Vol. XIV Issue 4

She responded: “We have kept the pickle juices separate in their own jars, sweet or dill. We put eggs in both of them. The sweet eggs are good in potato salad with sweet pickle relish added.

“I especially like the dill eggs shredded with cheddar cheese and pimientostuffed green olives (also shredded) mixed with mayonnaise (sometimes I thin it with wine or vodka) on party rye for cocktail parties. This definitely adds an adult taste to this egg salad.”

Note: Be sure to peel the hard-boiled egg before placing it in pickle juice. Wait one week for egg to pickle. Then, use it within four weeks. ***

Got a unique way that you use this for that? Send your ideas to me at mary@everydaycheapskate.com. Use the subject line “This for That.” If your tip is unique and would be useful ADVERTISING PROOF for a good portion of my readers, I’ll share it with Final Changes DUE: Mon. 11/27/17 5:00 p.m.. everyone right here.

It is a really good deal! Because there are no moving parts, solar requires very little maintenance and you may decide just to rinse them off yourself once every few months to help ensure they are producing as much power as possible. The other great thing is that with a lease, you will receive a production guarantee, which means if the system produces less than promised, you are compensated for the difference. Credit score at least 650? Explore solar with a free consultation today!

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.

WRITING

Creators News Service

Matty’s Big Adventure

Every so often those of us in the business of teaching get a reminder that we still have plenty to learn. For me, that memo came this last holiday season, as I trudged through two feet of snow.

A former client of mine got in touch with me and asked whether I was available to fly to the Washington area the week of Christmas and do some continuing training with her two German shepherds I had worked with once before. Oh, and she had a brand-new 6-month-old German shepherd puppy who needed some training, too.

I’m originally from New York, but have lived my last few decades in California, where the weather is beautiful but rarely a winter wonderland.

The idea of a week with three German shepherds and a snowy vista appealed to me, so I shuffled some things around to make it work.

Upon my arrival, I familiarized myself with the layout of the house and property, and mentally prepared for my mission: It was to be me and the dogs alone for a week in a house set back a good snow-covered mile from the nearest road. The problem with the two older dogs -- both 6 years old and female -- was their aggression toward each other. The pup displayed no signs of this inclination, and the owner wanted to keep it that way.

The first couple of days went great. No fights. No trouble. All three dogs responded to my instruction like the intelligent creatures they are. I kicked back with a cup of hot tea and basked in the glory of a job well done.

On the third morning the older dogs needed to go outside. As the three of us stumbled around in the bitter-cold darkness of 4:30 a.m., a dogfight broke out that would make the LA riots look like civil disobedience. Two fierce German shepherds going at it like wild animals. And me, trying to keep my balance and separate them in two feet of snow.

I’m no stranger to breaking up dogfights, it’s part of my training and expertise. But this was something else. It was dangerous, and I was scared.

While making another attempt to pull them apart, I fell flat on my back. In that moment, I remember lying in the dark, the sting of snowflakes on my face, the sound of raw violence above my Casey's Corner: Turn to page 10

Start with saying “maybe” and add a lot of qualifiers.

Maybe you’ll eventually think about volunteering at the elementary school. Maybe next year you’ll consider shelving books at the library.

Don’t Let Others Hijack Your Retirement

For too many of us, retirement doesn’t necessarily mean taking the time for things we want to do and for rest and relaxation. Instead, the word “retire” means that others assume we’ll have lots of time to do things for them. The expectations can start the instant we retire, and our calendars can fill up astonishingly fast, if we let them.

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY

by Tom Margenau

Question on Online Application Form Still Confusing Many

About two months ago, I got a question from a reader that I had never received before.

(And believe me, that is unusual. I thought there wasn’t a single Social Security-related question I haven’t been asked a hundred times before.)

The unique question had to do with how to answer a specific question on the online application form for Social Security retirement benefits.

I’m paraphrasing, but it essentially asks this: “What month do you want your Social Security payments to start?”

At first glance, the question seems pretty straightforward. For example, the person who sent me that question wanted to wait until age 66 to start her Social Security benefits. And she was turning 66 in November 2017. She asked me if she should answer the “when to start” question by indicating November. Or, she wondered, since she knew that Social Security checks were paid one month behind (in other words, the November benefit is paid in December), should the answer be December?

As politely as I could, I told the lady that the correct answer was November and that she shouldn’t worry about when the physical payment was actually sent to her. She should only worry about her first month of entitlement to full retirement age benefits, and again, that would be November, when she turned age 66.

Because no one had ever asked me about that before, I really thought she was overanalyzing the application question. But lo and behold, since that first time a few months ago, I have been asked versions of the same question about 20 or 30 times!

So now I’m wondering if maybe the Social Security Administration recently changed the way it asks that question on its online retirement questionnaire. I don’t know how it was worded in the past. But I can now see how the “When do you want your benefits to begin?” question can be confusing. Perhaps they could include something like: “For example, if you want your benefits to begin at age 66, and you are 66 in March, then your answer should be March.”

Another reader recently asked me about the same issue. She wanted to start her Social Security at age 66. She was turning 66 in January 2018. She wanted to know if she should answer by indicating January (when she turns 66) or February (when her first payment would be due). Again, the answer is January.

But then she had a couple follow-up inquiries about other questions on the retirement application form that confused her. They asked her to indicate how much money she thought she would make in 2018. And then they further asked her if she planned to retire at some time during the year -- and if so, when?

She told me that she wasn’t sure if or when she would retire during 2018. And because of that, she had no idea how much money she would make during the year. She told me that she was concerned that if she answered the question incorrectly, she might get in trouble or might get her Social Security benefits paid incorrectly.

I told her not to worry. Social Security rules say that once you reach age 66, your earnings are

Tidbits of Coachella Valley

Page 11

make about $120,000 in 2018, well above the earnings threshold.

But two rules will make you eligible for benefits starting in April. One says that in the first year you retire, if your earnings exceed the yearly limit ($17,040), you can still get a Social Security check for any month your earnings are under a monthly limit, which is always one-twelfth of the annual amount -- or $1,420 in 2018. Because you are retiring at the end of March, you won’t be making over $1,420 after that month, so you are due Social Security benefits from April on.

The second rule that helps you says that income paid after retirement, like unused sick and vacation leave or severance payments, or any pen I am turning 63 in March 2018. sion benefit you might be due, doesn’t count toI plan to retire the end of that month, and I ward the earnings thresholds.

In other words, she could answer that question by saying she planned to work all year and thought she’d make a million dollars per month. Or she could answer the question by saying she was already retired and wouldn’t make a dime in 2018. Either way, because she is 66 in January, she would be due her full retirement age benefit amount for every month of the year.

Having told her all that, I still suggested she just answer the questions with her best guess as to when she might retire and how much she anticipated earning in 2018. But my main point was that she shouldn’t worry about her answers.

DEAR DR. ROACH: Can you please give me some information on Elhers-Danlos syndrome? My daughter and two granddaughters have it. -- E.E.H. M.D.

Thigh Numbness Likely Due to Trapped Nerve

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 65-year-old male who has developed a lack of sensation in the lateral front half of my right thigh. The numbness involves strictly the skin. There is no loss of strength, function or balance in my leg. My gait is normal, although I find that if I go on a long walk, the skin will begin to “tingle.”

When I went to an orthopedic surgeon, he suspected that the condition could be caused by a disc problem. Although an X-ray did show some stenosis, it was not definitive.

I suspect I caused the problem by years of sleeping on my right side in a curledup position, resulting in entrapment of the nerve. The orthopedist, however, says he generally sees this condition only in obese people, which I am not.

How likely is it that my condition is of spinal origin rather than an entrapped nerve?

If the condition can resolve itself gradually by avoiding activities that contribute to the problem, what does “gradually” mean? Do stretching exercises help relieve the entrapment? -- J.C.B.

ANSWER: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is actually a group of uncommon genetic disorders, with very stretchy skin, flexible joints and tissue fragility as common features. There are six different kinds of Ehlers-Danlos, and each is different in regard to what tissues and organs it most affects. Most are caused by mutations in genes for collagen and related structural proteins. They can be inherited or not (in which case they are new mutations).

Flexible joints (often but wrongly called “double-jointed”) and excessively stretchy skin are almost universal in EDS. The excess joint movement can cause dislocations and chronic joint pain resembling fibromyalgia. Other commonly associated conditions include prolapse of the mitral valve, hernias and, in the vascular type of EDS, aneurisms.

The prognosis in EDS depends to a great extent on the subtype. I would suggest that you go with your daughter and granddaughters to their doctor (if they agree) to learn more about their particular type. * * *

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. To view and order health pamphlets, visit www.rbmamall.com, or write to Good Health, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803.

ANSWER: What you are describing is meralgia paresthetica, the compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, which can be compressed as it passes under the inguinal ligament, exactly as you described. Your orthopedist is correct that this condition is more common in the overweight or obese; however, I have seen it in both people who are losing weight and people of normal, stable weight. It is more common in conjunction with diabetes, and it has been reported after long-distance walking and cycling.

LONG-TERM CARE

Because of the area involved in your numbness, it is very likely to be meralgia paresthetica and not spinal in origin. It does usually resolve, but it does so over the course of months, typically. Stretching would seem to make sense, but as far as I know, it hasn’t been shown to work.

VETERANS  POST 

by Freddie Groves

VA Proud of 2017 Accomplishments

For all the grousing so many of us do about the Department of Veterans Affairs, when you add it all up, there’s a lot it did last year. VA Secretary David Shulkin wrapped up the year in a message that highlights all they got accomplished.

To name just a few:

● With HUD, 61,000 homeless veterans were placed into housing.

● Authorized 6.1 million community-care appointments, 42 percent higher than previous year.

● Raised the level of Service Disabled Veteran Owned businesses to 19 percent, double the goal.

● Launched Big Data Super Computer to expand research into veterans health.

● Reduced dropped calls on the Crisis Line from 35 percent to less than 1 percent.

● Lowered veteran unemployment to 2.6 percent, the lowest in years, and much lower than the U.S. average of 4.4 percent for the year.

● Helped 1 million veterans use the GI Bill for education.

● Helped 620,000 veterans with opioid addiction, resulting in a 36 percent drop in use.

The list summed up with a claim that the veteran “trust” score went from 46 percent a few years ago to 70 percent now.

And we can’t forget President Donald Trump. No matter what side of the political aisle you sit on, Trump signed nine bills for veterans, plus an Executive Order and three Proclamations. He pushed until he got the 24/7 Hotline for Veterans, and actually showed up in person at no less than six veteran events. Vice President Pence was there too, at Honor Flight ceremonies and Wounded Warrior rides.

It’s easier to take the measure of a man when you can see him in person, or at least on a video.

If you want to view Shulkin’s end of year message to all of us, go on YouTube at youtu.be/1I8d_ nMFUl4 to see him talk about the progress the VA made in 2017. * * *

Freddy Groves regrets that he cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into his column whenever possible. Send email to columnreply2@gmail.com.

If it isn’t getting better, an injection into the nerve usually is effective. This is commonly done by an anesthesiologist or a pain-manage-

can help you with this.

You should also pre-arrange his funeral and burial or cremation.

Immediately After Death

Once your father dies, you’ll need to get a legal pronouncement of death. If no doctor is present, you’ll need to contact someone to do this.

So, if your dad dies at home under hospice care, call the hospice nurse, who can declare his death and help facilitate the transport of the body.

What To Do When a Loved One Dies

DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: This may seem like a strange question, but can you tell me what steps need to be taken after a loved one dies? My 80-year-old father has a terminal illness, and I would like to find out what I will need to do when he passes.

--Concerned Only Daughter

Dear Concerned: I am sorry to hear about your father’s situation, but this is an important question many families inquire about when a loved one’s death becomes imminent. Here is a run-down of some things you can do now, and others after his death, that can help keep a sad event from becoming even more burdensome and painful.

Before Death Occurs

There are several tasks you can do now while your father is still living, that will make things a lot easier and less hectic for you after he dies.

For starters, find out where your dad keeps all his important papers like his will (also make sure it’s updated), birth certificate, marriage and divorce certificates, Social Security information, life-insurance policies, military discharge papers, financial documents, Ad and Proof: keys to a safe deposit box or home safe.

John Cuddihy - Flags “A” Flying

Also,Biz if your dad doesn’t have an advanced Card, BW, 26x rate directive, help him make one (see CaringInfo.

Corrections due by: 5 pm, Mon., 6/19/17 org for free state-specific forms and instructions).

If he dies at home without hospice care, call 911, and have in hand his DNR document. Without one, paramedics will generally start emergency procedures and, except where permitted to pronounce death, take the person to an emergency room for a doctor to make the declaration.

If no autopsy is needed, you will need to call the funeral home, mortuary or crematorium to pick up the body. If your dad is an organ or tissue donor, contact the funeral home or the county coroner immediately.

Within a Few Days

If funeral plans were not pre-arranged, you’ll need to make arrangements and prepare an obituary. If your dad was in the military or belonged to a fraternal or religious group, you should contact those organizations too, because they may have burial benefits or conduct funeral services.

Up to 10 Days After Death

To wind down your dad’s financial affairs, you’ll need to get multiple copies of his death certificate. These are typically provided by the funeral home.

If you’re the executor of your dad’s estate, take his will to the appropriate county or city office to have it accepted for probate. And open a bank account for your dad’s estate to pay bills, including taxes, funeral costs, etc.

* On Jan. 26, 1788, the first 736 convicts banished from England to Australia land in Botany Bay. With the American victory in the Revolutionary War, transgressors could no longer be shipped across the Atlantic. Over the next 60 years, some 50,000 criminals were sent to Australia. * On Jan. 25, 1905, at the Premier Mine in South Africa, the largest diamond ever found is discovered. The 3,106-carat “Cullinan” weighed 1.33 pounds. Stonecutter Joseph Asscher studied the stone for six months before attempting the cut. Afterward, he fainted from nervous exhaustion. * On Jan. 24, 1935, canned beer makes its debut as the Gottfried Krueger Brewing Company delivers 2,000 cans of its beer. In 1933, after two years of research, American Can had developed a pressurized can that had a special coating to prevent the fizzy beer from chemically reacting with the tin. * On Jan. 23, 1957, the Wham-O toy company roll out the first batch of aerodynamic plastic discs now known as Frisbees.

Autumn Leaf Was A Jewel of a Pattern

This is a photo of an old Jewel Tea Company bowl and pitcher set. A friend whose husband worked for the company many years ago informed me this is the original bowl and pitcher from before it added the famous leaf pattern. Marked on the bottom of each piece are the words “Hall Superior Quality Kitchenware -- Made in USA.”

What can you tell me about this set?

Q:

A:

Hall China Company made your pitcher and mixing bowl set. Robert Hall founded his factory in 1903 in East Liverpool, Ohio. In 1933, the Jewel Tea Company made an arrangement with Hall China Company to produce a line of kitchenware and dinnerware. Each dish was decorated with the yellow, tan, brown and peach colored leaf

pattern. In the beginning, it was called “Autumn,” and eventually it became known as “Autumn Leaf.”

Jewel Tea Company evolved from founder Frank Vernon Skiff recognizing the need for coffee to be sold directly to the consumer. In 1899, he began delivering his coffee, and he was soon including other basic staples offered to homemakers. The “Autumn Leaf” pattern line proved to be a huge success. Dinnerware, tea pots, coffee pots, mixing bowls, pitchers, butter dishes, saltshakers and pepper shakers, baking dishes and refrigerator containers were just some of the plethora of “Autumn Leaf” pattern line. The pattern was discontinued in 1976, and Jewel Tea Company closed in 1981.

Your bowl and pitcher were made around 1933, and the set might be worth $50 to $75.

“Autumn Leaf” pattern kitchen and dinnerware was made for Jewel Tea Company.

Q:

I have a large water or milk porcelain pitcher that is decorated with a darkblue pattern against a white background and

Vol. XIV Issue 4

trimmed with gold. It has been passed down in our family for generations and is in excellent condition. The enclosed mark on the bottom of the pitcher is also dark-blue.

Can you tell us anything about the maker, age and value of our pitcher?

La Belle China was part of the Wheeling Pottery Company.

A:

La Belle China Company made your pitcher. In 1879, Wheeling Pottery Company was founded. In 1887, it formed La Belle Pottery Company. It made decorated china and utilitarian ware.

In 1889, the two companies joined together. La Belle Pottery also produced flow blue ware, dinnerware and Virginia Girl plates. Your pitcher is an example of flow blue china.

It was made around 1900 and would probably be worth $150 to $300.

• Advocates for learning cursive argue that both keyboarding and penmanship can and should be taught. More areas of the human brain are engaged, they claim, when children learn to read and write cursive handwriting than when keyboarding is used exclusively. Among other arguments, they claim that forgoing cursive may have much more consequential results.

They point to the student's inability to interpret valuable handwritten cultural resources -historical documents, ancestorsʼ letters and journals. “The Constitution of the United States is written in cursive,” states Idaho Congressman Linden Bateman. “Think about that.” 
