Twitter owner, Elon Musk fired half of his workforce. He then sent this message to those who remained. “Those who choose to stay should expect long, intense hours of work. Those who leave will receive three months’ severance pay.” Would you stay at the company or would you leave?
44% I would gladly stay
28% I would stay while looking for another job
24% I would leave
4% I would leave even without the severance pay

Girl Scouts Rock!
A BIG shout out to the local Girl Scouts. I work at Temple Hill Cemetery and had worked a couple weeks blowing and lining up leaves. Then one day about 20 Scouts came by and did an amazing job of collecting leaves and hoisting them into the big town dump trucks. These ladies were like a swarm of bees! All business and nonstop high speed action. I was impressed and proud of our younger generation of women! Thank you for your service.
Shout Out for Dollar General in Retsof, NY
I ran in to Dollar General in Retsof on 11/19 to pick up a few items and had that dreaded "chip malfunction" on my credit card! I asked the clerk if she could cancel transaction so I could run to my car to see if I had cash. The guy behind me said, “Don't cancel, I don't mind waiting.” which was very nice! So I hurried out and returned very quickly to pay. The clerk handed me my bag and said “you’re good to go!” Of course I was amazed, it was the cashier who paid for my purchase, would not accept my money and said “Happy Holidays!” I was so surprised I didn't even say "I will pay it forward" to another unsuspecting person. Thank you for your generosity and making my day! #thebestdollargeneral
Thanks to the great generosity of Marc Mingoia with the Howard Hanna Pittsford office. We all devoured this pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving specially delivered by Phillip Lane who actually delivered 2 of them in person to us for my grandson to have at his dinner. After a tough year and a half because of the loss of his dad, we appreciated the generosity. We were greatly surprised with the pies and we appreciate the goodness that still comes around in this world. The pies were deliciously made from Special Touch Bakery at 1999 Mt. Reed Boulevard. Making it even more special was it was my birthday! God bless everyone.
On a daily basis, I see responsible dog owners walk in our neighborhood. They keep their dogs on leashes. They clean after them. They license them. On a daily basis, I see cats, both feral and peoples’ pets, wander wherever they please. They are unlicensed. No one cleans up after them when they come into our yards to do their business. They are free to multiply unchecked. Why is it that cat owners do not have to follow the same rules as dog owners? Why do people continue to feed the feral cats? Wouldn’t it be better to take them into your homes? You could feed them, keep them warm, and have them spayed.
A roof! A pretty simple solution for the Bills stadium, especially as they plan for a new billion dollar arena that we will be partly paying for. The Bills/Browns game being moved to Detroit (Ford stadium complete with a roof.) robs Buffalo and Orchard Park of some significant revenue to boot. It’s certainly not too late to consider a roof for the Bills and for those fans who think real football is played in whatever Mother Nature throws at us, I’m sure given the choice, you’d rather be out of the elements and enjoy an NFL game that showcases talent on the field without weather distractions. And, as happy as we all are now that the Bills are in the conversation of elite status in professional football, there wouldn’t be as much pressure that they remain there if their fans could easily enjoy a football game inside.
To my neighbor who put a food pantry Thanksgiving food box into this morning’s trash, your wastefulness has broken my heart. I don’t know your circumstance, but I do know that there’s a Little Food Pantry just around the corner. That’s where I’ll be taking the 2 cans of green beans, 2 boxes of stuffing mix, 1 box of cornbread mix, 1 jar of apple sauce, 1 bottle of pancake syrup, 1 butternut squash, and 1 bag of potatoes, all unopened and untouched. You should be ashamed of yourself.

We love our new exercise coach. is is the young student who used us as guinea pigs for a college class project, graduated and has now been hired by the senior center as our permanent workout guru. It’s only been a month, and already we want to make him Employee of the Year.
Somehow he managed to convince the town to spend large dollars to out t a space in the rec center dedicated to workout equipment for seniors. But we haven’t just been turned loose with all that fancy new gear. Coach has required that we all have a personal session with him wherein he will instruct us on each machine and ll out our personal goal sheet with the weights and repetitions for each one. Periodically he will stalk through the room, instruct on posture, scrutinize someone’s goal sheet and ensure the machine’s weight is set correctly.
e bonus for us is that the cost per month is less than one-quarter the amount charged by the regular gyms in our area.
Is a gym workout in your plans for 2023? While you might not be lucky enough to have a personal coach and a brand-new dedicated-for-seniors exercise room at your rec center, you still might be able to join a gym near you.
Do you qualify for a low-cost SilverSneakers tness membership through your Medicare advantage or supplemental plan? Many plans have this bene t (standard Medicare does not), and over 17,000 gyms across the country participate.
If you nd a local gym (don’t forget about the YMCA), ask whether a tness expert will show you how each machine works and to generate an exercise plan for you. It’s o en included in the membership.
One bonus to signing up for a gym membership at this time of year is that gyms frequently o er discounts for the new year.

This week’s puzzle answer is elsewhere in this paper. The Crossword Puzzle is provided by Tribune Media Services. Any questions or comments should be made to 1-800-346-8798.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a female and almost 75 years old. My vital signs are always normal, and I am active, but slightly overweight. I get quarterly blood draws, and every reading is in the normal range except for the lymphocytes. That count is higher, just outside the normal range (the lab’s range is 850 to 3,900 cells/uL, and my absolute lymphocytes are 4,377 cells/uL).
This has occurred in the blood draws from the last two or three years, with the exception of one that was back in the normal range. About 12 years ago, after several abnormal results, I saw a hematologist, who reported nothing wrong after doing more extensive blood work. No reason could be given for it. I am concerned, but not obsessing over it. Is there any reason you can give for the slightly high lymphocyte count? -- S.M.
ANSWER: Lymphocytes are one of the two major types of white blood cells found in the blood (the other are the granulocytes, the most common of which are the neutrophils). High levels of lymphocytes raise suspicion for serious blood disorders such as some leukemias, lymphomas and related blood diseases, but there are other causes. Acute stress can do it, but you have been living with this for many years. Not having a spleen causes high levels of lymphocytes, whether you are born without one or have it surgically removed. Chronic infection is another reason.
I suspect your hematologist did a more sophisticated set of tests looking for blood disorders, and the fact that your level is the same after 12 years also supports my suspicion that this level is normal for you. Normal levels are generally defined as what is found in people without evidence of disease 95% of the time. So, by definition, 5% of normal people will have their result on any given lab fall outside of the normal range. Since yours is just outside of the normal range and, as I said, unchanged for years, I think you can relax your level of anxiety. Periodic blood tests do seem prudent, however, and further testing would be recommended in the event that the count starts getting higher or you develop any new symptoms.

The season of giving is upon us, and for many neglected and abandoned animals, there is no greater gi than that of a safe, loving home with a forever family. Local rescue shelters are exceeding capacity and rely heavily on community engagement to aid with supplying toys, food, and many other essen al supplies. Adop ng a pet from a local shelter is not only giving back to your community, but saving the life of an animal in need.
Rescued Treasures Pet Adop ons in Rochester is a network of over 100 fosters and volunteers. Their passion is rescuing abandoned and homeless pets. A non-profit, their caring, compassion, and desire to serve comes straight from the heart.
Avon na ve Jennifer Evere is a Rescued Treasures six-year rescue veteran. Using her wealth of knowledge, she educates fosters, prospec ve pet owners, and store volunteers. Balancing a fullme job and a busy schedule, Evere is available for guidance a er hours and on weekends.
Fierce dedica on like Evere ’s is not uncommon among Rescued Treasures volunteers who are driven to care for the well-being of our most vulnerable animal popula ons. Sadly, it’s a common mispercep on that shelter animals suffer behavioral problems. In reality, many of them were abandoned by pet owners who could no longer financially care for them, moved out of the area, or passed away.
One of the best ways to help is to foster. Rescued Treasures’ adoptable pets are at PetSmart via their loca ons in Greece and Baytown Plaza, Webster. The rescue has also opened its new Pawsi ve Cat Café on East Avenue in Rochester.
Evere con nues to support Rescued Treasures for a reason. “It’s clear they always want to do right by the animal,” she said. Like many, Evere feels rewarded by the drama c progress she has seen in shelter pets.
“One of my favorite ones was a li le black cat named Willow,” she recalled. “She had a li er, and she was fiercely protec ve of them. Although she didn’t seem to be feral, she wanted no part of anything with humans.”
Evere ’s solu on? Pa ence. “I just gave her me to come out of her shell,” she explained. “She was at my house for a year and three months. It took her that long to come out of any trauma. A wonderful couple adopted her. Her story is a testament.”
Fostering or adop ng a shelter pet means not only that you’ll save its life, but also the life of another animal that can then be taken in. Can’t adopt or foster? There are s ll many ways you can support your local animal shelter. Take a cue from our 12 Days of Christmas Pet Shelter Wishlist!

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: tip for the owner who is struggling to give their dog eye medicine. Our dog had cataract removal surgery earlier this year, and we’ve had to give him drops ever since. We’ve got it down! All you need are high-value treats given before, during and a er the drops. Please feel free to share my suggestion. -Jenny H. Asheville, North Carolina
DEAR JENNY: Many thanks for the advice! Making “medicine time” less stressful and more positive is so important for pets. Folks, Jenny recommended a 100% meat dog treat, which is a great high-value snack. Look for a product like this in the pet store’s fresh food aisle. Peanut butter is another fave among dogs. One of my dogs is a huge fan of Doritos. (I have to hide them.)
Here’s some more tips for giving oral medication or drops to a dog or cat:
-- Work o some of your pet’s energy beforehand. Take the dog for a walk or have your cat play with a toy.
-- Make sure the pet is held safely. Place the cat on your lap and cradle your arm around their body, placing your hand on their chest. Have the dog sit or lie down at your feet (or in your lap), facing forward or to the side.
-- Stay calm and positive. Give your pet a small treat while being encouraging and petting them.
-- Give the medication as quickly as possible. Don’t force or rush the process, but gently open their mouth and pop the pill in as far back as possible, then rub the underside of their jaw and throat to encourage swallowing. If giving eyedrops, gently li one eyelid and put in the drop, then repeat on the other side.
How do you give your pet their medication? Let us know at ask@ pawscorner.com.

Presentation is king when it comes to setting a memorable holiday table, and it needn’t be daunting or expensive. Here are some essential tips that will garner rave reviews at your next gathering.
It’s everywhere these days. From trees, to pumpkins, to candlestick holders, it’s timeless and transitions well from season to season.
Don’t be afraid to mix metallics. This gold flatware, purchased second-hand, is a standout.
Start by scouring the house to see what you can mix and match to bring your table to life. Don’t be afraid to ask parents or grandparents for family heirlooms that they may be willing to part with.
One of the best investments you can make is solid white porcelain dishes. You can get them for a steal at most places and they’ll take you through every season. For a fun twist, layer them with whimsical holiday plates. Solid red napkins add a pop of color, and when placed under the plates, there’s no need for a runner or placemat.
Wooden reindeer, real pinecones and mixed greenery take the textural feel to the next level. Snips of spruce or boxwood trees from the yard up the texture, and best of all are free.
A mix of faux and metallic pine trees give your table the height it needs. Be sure to place them strategically so your guests can easily see one another.
Pinterest is a great place to get ideas. Take a stab at different napkin folding techniques and see what suits your fancy.
Think outside the box. These heavy metal pinecones are confiscated from an old cuckoo clock. Add some freshly clipped greens and you’re good to go.
Details make all the difference. Adding personal placecards is a great touch that makes everyone feel special. How about adding a surprise lottery ticket to the bottom of a random plate? Sometimes a winner, and always a hit!
This dining room table is a restored farmhouse table. It seats 22 people when all leaves are in. If you’re going to go all out, do it here and know that it will be enjoyed for generations to come.

* Use silicone caulk to make nonskid beads on the bottom of your pet dishes. They will stay in one place instead of getting scooted all around the kitchen.
* Need a quick iron job but don’t have the time to iron? Spray a clean kitchen towel with a mixture of water and a little fabric softener until damp. Pop it in the dryer with the item that’s wrinkled. It shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes to get all the wrinkles out and smell great to boot!
* While we’re on ironing tips, here’s a great one from T.C. in Alabama: “If you have mineral deposits on your iron, use a toothbrush and toothpaste (mild abrasive) to polish them off your iron’s face. Rinse with water, and next time, use distilled water for steaming.”
* “When driving a nail into a plaster wall, first put down a piece of tape at the spot where you will insert the nail. Tap the nail in right through the tape, then pull it away to discard. It often will keep the surrounding plaster from crumbling at the site of the nail.” -- W.L. in Oregon
* When your cabinet door magnet locks are too strong, try putting a piece of tape over the magnet. It decreases the strength of the magnet.
* If you paint your radiators, make sure that the paint you use is intended to be heat-resistant. To get the best finish, paint while the radiator is warm.
Sponsor a local youth sports team: Youth sports team sponsorships are a relatively inexpensive way to create brand awareness. The National Alliance for Youth Sports, Inc., reports that sponsorship costs vary from organization to organization, though they may cost as little as $100 to around $5,000 for the season. In return for that investment, businesses gain exposure to athletes, athletes’ families and friends, volunteers, and countless others who may see players in uniform on game day. When compared to the cost of advertising online, on television or on the radio, youth sports sponsorship provides a great return on investment.

Chicory is a golden doodle and Toby is a beagle corgi. Chicory is almost 3 years old and Toby just turned 1. Toby recently joined the family in January! We love to play and fight over toys. We drive mom and dad bonkers, but they love us with all their hearts. Chicory is the sassy older sister and Toby is that pesky little brother. We love each other and we’re inseparable. We love car rides, walks with mom, and playing with friends, family, neighbors and other dogs. We’re a handful!
Residents and surrounding businesses collaborate with the Salvation Army every year to lend a hand in keeping kids warm by donating winter coats and toys to families in need. In 1983, the Salvation Army launched the Coats for Kids initiative. The aim is that no child will be left without a coat during winter.

Define career expectations. Defining career expectations early on can be beneficial in various ways. Such expectations can guide career choices and provide a road map that women can utilize to stay the professional course. This can help women make decisions about their careers when they come to forks in the road. For example, if a path to promotion seems blocked, women can examine their established career expectations to help them decide if it’s time to seek new employment. Defining career expectations also can help women effectively communicate with mentors about their goals, and mentors can then use that information when offering guidance. Expectations need not be concrete, and it’s likely they will change over time. But they can serve as an important foundation for anyone from young female professionals to experienced executives looking to make changes or determine the next step in their careers.
