TO DETERMINE IF IT’S TIME TO DOWNSIZE
Space: Many people love the extra space that single-family homes provide. But seniors can take a walk through their homes and see how many rooms they still use on a consistent basis.If much of the home is unused,seniors can probably downsize without adversely affecting their daily lives.

Thankful
I want to thank the Livingston County DOT workers who were working in Ossian next to my house on July 31st when I fell outside. They saw me fall and came to my rescue as I couldn't get up by myself. I didn't catch their names unfortunately, but I will forever be thankful for them coming to my aid. Thank you once again to those wonderful men for helping a klutzy old lady.
Good Samaritan
There are still good people out there making the world a better place. While bringing my 90 year old mother to her doctor’s appointment, my vehicle’s clutch decided to give out on me several blocks from our destination. Stranded in the middle of the road unable to move, a Good Samaritan stopped and helped push my vehicle onto the side of the road. If that wasn’t enough, he then drove us the rest of the way to her doctor’s appointment, avoiding a long walk for my aging mother. In the midst of our turmoil I didn’t get his name, But after thanking him profusely, I wanted to honor him here for his unselfish deeds. We need more people like this man in his Jeep to share kindness and concern for others. Thank you.
Reach out to your neighbor first, not the town
To the neighbor who complained about my fence, I’m sorry I didn’t get it fixed fast enough for you. I’ve been here nearly 50 years. You could have come and told me it was bothering you. I never saw any kids out. If you had a problem, you could have offered to help fix it. I called six companies and one called back five days later. My son is my caregiver and fixes everything, plus yardwork, so it’s hard for him to do everything. Two years ago, my husband of 60 years died and my taxes went up $1,000. Twomonths later, my 6 year old fridge quit, so $1,600 later at Thanksgiving I got a new one. Then my furnace quit. I made payments for that (I also had major surgery), then my microwave went at Christmas. I’ll be 82 next week, and all my ‘old’ neighbors have either died or moved. This is a country where neighbors have always gotten along. So, if you have any more problems, go to the person, not the town.
Price for product repair is very high
Nowadays it is getting very pricey to get a repair person for a product that is broken even though a warranty may apply. In my case I bought an inside chair lift for my 12 indoor stairs about 10 months ago that go from the 1st to the 2nd floor. Unfortunately for me and my wife the plastic switch that operates it broke off. The repair guy came over and analyzed the situation. He stated that the switch was still under warranty and he’d be back in about a week to install a new piece. When he came back he installed the new piece in less than 5 minutes. While the part or parts were free, the two service calls from [business name] cost me a whopping
Outrageous!
STOP
DID YOU KNOW? When nurses go to work each day, many report to hospitals while others work at private practices. For others, a day at the office takes place at research labs. According to the online nursing resource Nurse.org, research nurses develop and implement studies to investigate and provide information on new medications, vaccinations and medical procedures. Research nurses, sometimes referred to as clinical nurse researchers or nurse researchers, typically have advanced degrees, and many first work as research assistants, clinical data collectors and/or clinical research monitors to gain some practical experience as they pursue or consider pursuing their degrees. Some research nurses even conduct independent research, though Nurse.org notes that such professionals need advanced degrees such as an MSN or Ph.D. to pursue such a path. More information about becoming a research nurse can be found at www.Nurse.org.

Here’s A Tip
BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson
* When patching up cracks in plaster walls, if the crack is large or it's a small hole, stuff it with wadded-up newspaper or steel wool in order to fill the crack. Apply the plaster over the top.
* Recipe substitution: For each cup of brown sugar needed, use 1 cup of white sugar and 2 tablespoons of molasses.
* Ever had to deal with early arrivals at your garage sale? If so, you know it can be annoying and disruptive. When advertising your sale, use the block number instead of your house number. Still easy to find, but you're less likely to get staked out.
Hocus Focus
BY HENRY BOLTINOFF
Garden during the cooler parts of the day. Lawncare professionals advise against watering lawns between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. in the summertime, as water is more likely to evaporate during this time, which tends to be the hottest time of the day. Gardeners should avoid working in their gardens during these hours as well. Garden in the early morning hours when the sun is not burning as hot or in late afternoon or early evening hours when temperatures are less threatening.
Upgrade walkways. Though it’s more expensive than adding planters and planting perennials, upgrading old and cracked walkways is a great way to give a property a whole new look. According to the renovation experts at HomeAdvisor, homeowners typically pay between $6 and $12 per square foot for new concrete walkway installation. Homeowners working on a budget can target spots where walkways have already cracked and fix those areas first before continuing the project piecemeal until all the old walkways have been replaced.

STAY SAFE WHEN LANDSCAPING
HOW TO CLEAN AND PREPARE OUTDOOR FURNITURE FOR THE SEASON
Outdoor fabrics are derived from different materials. However, this general-purpose recipe, courtesy of the DIY Network, may help clean many outdoor fabrics. Mix 1 teaspoon dishwashing detergent, 1 quart warm water and 1 tablespoon borax together. Saturate a sponge and use it to wash the cushions. Let it sit for 15 minutes and then spray it off with a high-force hose. Stand the cushions on their edges to dry outdoors.
PAVING & SEALING
Homeowners should not assume they know how to use all of the tools necessary to maintain lush lawns and bountiful gardens. Familiarize yourself with the proper operation of manual and motorized equipment by reading the owner’s manual thoroughly, making special note of recommended safety guidelines.
Take some time to locate the power buttons and other parts by comparing them to illustrations in the guide. Once you feel comfortable handling the equipment, then you can begin to use it. 62

Summer fun that is close to home
Outdoor movies: Local parks frequently host summer movie nights when participants can view a movie on the big screen while under the stars. This can be an informal way to get the entire family together for a fun flick. Films are typically family-friendly and schedules are available well in advance. Bring a blanket and some snacks and enjoy an inexpensive evening together.
Reconsider your furniture. Furniture can make rooms feel cozy, cramped or spacious. For homeowners with limited space in their homes, furniture that also can be used as storage can save space without sacrificing comfort. For the bedroom, choose a storage bed if the quarters are cramped and it’s difficult to find space for two dressers. Such beds also can be used to store bed linens if closet space is limited. Purchase storage ottomans and/or end tables with storage beneath to make living areas feel less cramped.

HOW COLLEGE STUDENTS CAN CUT LIVING EXPENSES
Venture off campus. Towns that rely heavily on colleges or universities to support their economies typically offer great deals to students willing to venture off campus. Local businesses, including bars, restaurants and entertainment venues like mini golf facilities or bowling alleys, may offer student discounts to entice kids to leave campus. Students can take advantage of these offerings to save on food and entertainment, which tend to be among the more pricey cost-of-living expenses college students contend with.

Foods at farmers’ markets tend to be limited to in-season offerings. Some nutritionists suggest eating seasonally available foods is better for your body, because humans ate seasonal produce for thousands of years before shipping and refrigeration changed how people received the majority of their foods. In addition, many people feel that fresh, seasonal foods taste better than the alternatives.

Patient Needs Help Discussing High Blood Calcium With Doctor
DEAR DR. ROACH: A friend has been diagnosed with high blood calcium, and when I googled it, the results concerned me. Can you give information on this and how to discuss it with the doctor? I want to forward the column to my friend, and hopefully, the information encourages/helps with the medical discussions between my friend and their doctor. -- Anon.
ANSWER: There are many causes of high blood calcium levels, and some of them are quite scary to read about. Hopefully, your friend’s doctor is already in the process of discovering the underlying cause. Some causes are pretty clear, as some medicines are wellknown to cause high calcium, such as thiazide diuretics like HCTZ.
The first step is being sure that there really is high calcium by repeating the blood level. A tourniquet left on for more than a minute can cause acid buildup in the arm, which displaces calcium and causes a false elevation. This problem can also be avoided by being expeditious with blood draws or by measuring the “ionized calcium” for changes in the protein albumin, which also affects the calcium level. If the calcium level is repeatedly high, the next place to look at is the parathyroid hormone, which is one of the main regulators (along with vitamin D) of blood calcium levels. Most cases of high calcium in otherwise healthy people are caused by excess parathyroid hormone, most often from a benign tumor in the parathyroid gland. In the unusual case that this isn’t the issue, less-common causes, including excess vitamin D and some cancers, should also be considered. As far as an encouraging discussion, if your friend’s doctor isn’t bringing it up (which they should), being as open-ended as possible is best, with questions such as: “Why is my calcium high? Do I need to do anything about it?”
***
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu.

Question: Do you know how to score a bowling game? Yes, you can only knock down 10 pins per frame. And there are only 10 frames per game. So how does a perfect score add up to 300?
Answer: It’s more complicated than that. Strikes and spares have their own special (bonus) scoring system. And the 10th frame allows for one or two extra balls if you knock all the pins down.

* Realizing that surgical antiseptics were marketable to just a small group of professionals, the makers of Listerine began to market the product as a floor cleaner -- as well as a cure for gonorrhea. While we won’t necessarily vouch for the latter, in a pinch, just add a capful for every gallon of water and mop away. Other uses include dandruff elimination, deodorant, a numbing agent for toothache pain and tick removal.
* A 1938 issue of “Mademoiselle” magazine had a handy bit of advice for college gals seeking suitors: have your mom send you some flowers to trick all the boys into thinking they have competition. No word on whether it worked.
* Ferdinand Demara, aka “The Great Impostor,” posed as a surgeon aboard a Navy destroyer in the Korean War, where he was forced to operate on 16 people. He proceeded to speed-read a textbook on general surgery and was able to successfully perform all the operations without losing a single patient.

TIPS TO FIND THE RIGHT LAWYER
Contact your local bar association. According to the ABA®, bar associations in most communities will make referrals according to specific areas of law. This can ensure people without much or any experience hiring lawyers find one with the right experience and practice concentration. Local referral services also may help, and the ABA® notes that many, though not all, have competency requirements for lawyers who wish to be referred. When speaking with a referral service, ask if they have such requirements in place and how frequently they reevaluate lawyers they refer.

WAYS ESTABLISHED PROFESSIONALS CAN IMPROVE THEIR RÉSUMÉS
Rather than focusing on job responsibilities at each job you held, gear the résumé around what you achieved in each position. This will help identify how you performed in the position, instead of just a general retelling of what you did. It can be challenging to achieve this for jobs that don’t naturally lend themselves to numerically quantitative results (i.e., increased department sales by 15 percent), but it’s still possible to use a résumé to illustrate your achievements.
Ratherthanstatethatyouwereresponsibleforprovidingcustomerservice, explain that you built your reputation on conveying difficult technical terms to the layperson, serving as the go-to employee for translating job jargon for outside correspondence.
If you have quantitative proof of how you accomplished something, certainly add it. This can include measures of profit growth, reduction of debt or increase in customer base.
