THE TYPE OF LODGING ACCOMMODATION
Airbnb: A relative newcomer to the accommodations arena, an Airbnb is a residental property that hosts renters, often on a short-term basis.These may be private apartments, condos, homes, or vacation properties that owners temporarily sublet to travelers. While Airbnb is the name of a registered rental marketplace company (airbnb.com), the term often is used for any property that follows the same model, including options from companies like VRBO and HomeAway. Airbnb is an abbreviation that stands for “air mattress bed and breakfast.”

My neighbor yells at her dog. Is it abuse?
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Every morning, my next-door neighbor walks her dog past my house. Every morning, she berates her dog, calling him an idiot and a bad dog, especially after picking up his poo. I cannot see the dog doing anything wrong, so I don’t know why she’s constantly yelling at him. I know it’s affecting him,though -- he has his tail between his legs most of the time.Is there anything I can do for that dog? -- Bill in Oshkosh,Wisconsin
DEAR BILL: That’s hard to watch -- emotional abuse can be as damaging to an animal as physical abuse.
Strong verbal correction is OK in obedience training when you need a dog to stop doing something immediately. But it should be limited to a firm “No!” and a quick tug on the leash if necessary -- followed by proper corrective training.
When an owner simply berates the dog and takes out their anger verbally on them, it isn’t training. It doesn’t correct their behavior. Behavioral issues often get worse, not better. And the mixed signals and negative feedback that the dog constantly receives can cause trust issues that never fully go away.
What can you do as an outside observer? Rescues or animal control likely won’t intervene in a simple case of yelling at a dog.
If you feel safe talking to the owner, try starting a conversation with them. You may be able to glean more info about why they are yelling at the dog, and you might be able to give training advice.
However, you should also observe and document the situation. Write down the dog’s physical condition and behavior and note if they deteriorate. If you see physical abuse from the owner, note the date, time and place and, contact animal control.
Long nails can be painful for dogs. The experts in holistic care at Dogs Naturally Magazine say that long nails that will come in contact with hard ground can push back up into the nail bed and cause discomfort. Long nails also may cause the toes to twist. Most dogs require their nails be trimmed every two weeks. This time period may be extended if the dog goes for long walks frequently.
COREY COMER
TheSoulfulShowmanona MusicalJourney
BY SUZIE WELLS
From the heart of Newark, a small-town artist with a big sound is making waves in the music industry. Corey Comer, known to many as “ e Soulful Showman,” is a professional singer, songwriter, and musician whose journey into music began at an early age. e third of four boys, Corey was the only child in his family to inherit the musical bug, a gi passed down from his father, a guitar player in a gospel group. Introduced to Quartet music at the age of five, Corey’s passion for music was ignited in the church, and educated at St. Michael’s School where he developed an acute ear for harmonies and rhythm.
Corey’s musical exploration began with makeshi drum sessions on pots and pans in his bedroom, much to the dismay of his father, who eventually handed him a bass guitar instead. is simple gesture opened a whole new world of possibilities for him. Hours were spent practicing to TV jingles and commercials, honing his skills until his fingers were raw. Over time, he expanded his expertise, learning rhythm and lead guitar, though he says he is a better rhythm guitar player—depending on a song’s style, of course.
High school introduced Corey to orchestral and jazz music, where he meticulously studied how each instrument contributed to an ensemble’s balance and tonal quality. It was during these formative years that he realized music was his calling, a gi he was destined to share with the world.
Corey’s songwriting process is deeply rooted in personal experiences and the emotions of those around him. He says, “I feel deeply the temperature of the world and explore creative ways to express what is happening at that moment.” He describes his inspiration as an unstoppable force, “[falling] down like rain and before you know it a song is born with a much happier ending than it began.” Inspiration o en strikes at night, so he keeps a recording device by his bedside to capture spontaneous melodies and lyrics. Some nights, the inspiration is so intense that he finds himself in all-night recording sessions, completing songs in less than 24 hours.
When cra ing a song, Corey takes a structured approach –starting with drums, bass, and percussion in no particular order before layering in rhythm guitar, pianos, and other instruments as applicable. With an extensive catalog of unreleased music spanning over seven years, he understands that a song’s true potential may not be realized until the right artist performs it. He cites examples like Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You,” which became an iconic hit when sung by Whitney Houston.
In recent years, songwriter collaborations known as “writer’s rounds” have become a common practice in places like Nashville. ese gatherings provide opportunities for budding artists and songwriters to showcase their work and connect with singers who can bring their compositions to life. However, Corey cautions against being pigeonholed into a particular style, emphasizing the importance of versatility.
WhileCoreyhasbeeninfluencedbynumerousartistsacrossvarious genres, gospel music remains his greatest inspiration. His latest EP, Soul of a Man, is a testament to his diverse musical background, incorporating elements of rock, soul, funk, jazz, Motown, and gospel. Notably, Corey wrote, produced, and performed every track on the album, continually challenging himself to outdo his previous work. Each song is cra ed with meaning and purpose, never merely to fill space on an album.
Corey captivates audiences across the country, with shows lined up while also earning a dedicated following across social media platforms. With a “sound that is full, clean, and seasoned with a lot of soul,” Corey’s performances are immersive experiences that take audiences on a journey through the past, present, and future. His engaging stage presence and rich, soulful sound have earned him glowing praise, with fans o en remarking, “He never disappoints” and “Where have you been all this time?”
Corey competes with no one but himself, and he says “travel enhances [his] creativity,” allowing him to meet and collaborate with others in the industry. He believes stepping outside familiar circles fosters artistic growth and encourages budding musicians to explore different genres. Remaining in the same environment, he warns, can lead to stagnation.
For aspiring musicians, Corey advises: Don’t be afraid to walk alone and embrace being different. Everyone faces fear of failure and stage fright sometimes; “build a rock solid confidence in yourself that is only challenged by what you see in the mirror.”
Corey Comer’s journey is a testament to passion, perseverance, and the transformative power of music. Whether on stage or in the studio, he continues to inspire and connect with audiences, proving that true artistry knows no bounds.
Check out Corey’s upcoming shows, including February 28th at DisBatch Brewery in Macedon, March 15th at Konstantinous in Ontario, NY, March 28th at New York Beer Project in Lockport, and July 26th at Webster Arts Festival.

PITFALLS TO AVOID FALLING INTO DEBT
Failure to budget: A budget is the most effective way for individuals to gain control of their spending. That lesson seems to resonate more with young people than older men and women. A 2019 poll from Debt.com found that 74 percent of consumers between the ages of 23 and 38 use a budget to govern their spending, while only 67 percent of consumers between the ages of 39 and 54 use a budget. A failure to budget can increase the risk of spending impulsively and make it hard for consumers to see what’s coming in and what’s going out. That’s a recipe for accumulating debt.

Long-Term Use of High-Dose Gabapentin Causes Great Concern
DEAR DR. ROACH: Am I a doomed man? When I was 25, I survived a battle with testicular cancer.The good news is that 45 years later, after two kids and three grandkids, I’m in good health. The only medicine I take is gabapentin for peripheral neuropathy that was caused by the chemotherapy drugs I received during the cancer treatment. One or more of these drugs caused neuropathy in my feet.
A neurologist prescribed 800 mg three times a day,and I took this for about 15 years. As I got older, it became 800 mg four times a day for the past 20 years. As I talk to people, they seem shocked that I’m still alive after taking so much gabapentin. But I’ve never experienced any known side effects from it.
I have read that the long-term use of gabapentin can increase the chances of dementia. Are there specific things that I should have my regular doctor test me for because of my long-term use of gabapentin? -- C.P.
Q. A.
ANSWER: Testicular cancer is one of the most curable cancers because it is sensitive to both radiation and chemotherapy. However, both of these modalities can lead to problems years after the treatment was successful.
For many years, platinum-based chemotherapy has been one of the mainstays for advanced testicular cancer. Painful peripheral neuropathy, especially in the hands and feet, is a common side effect. Gabapentin is a commonly used medication to relieve pain from damage to the peripheral nerves that occurs in diabetes or with chemotherapy.
I don’t often see doses as high as you are taking, but they are certainly used. In a seminal trial on pain following a shingles infection (post-herpetic neuralgia), the target dose of gabapentin was 900 mg four times daily. It often takes weeks or months to build up to this dose so that people can tolerate it, but it is very effective. The most common side effect is sedation, but increasing the dose slowly reduces this effect.
The evidence of gabapentin and dementia is mixed, with two studies that looked at hundreds of thousands of people and came to completely different conclusions. In the study suggesting that there was a dementia risk, it was strongest in younger people.
I conclude that you aren’t doomed. While most authorities don’t suggest screening tests for dementia, there are some memory and cognitive tests that are easy to do for people who have concerns about their memory, or those whose doctors are concerned about a possible change in function. If there are abnormalities, a person can then be referred to a memory expert.
DEAR DR. ROACH: In a recent column, you discussed IBS-C (irritable bowel syndrome). I have IBS-D and had very serious episodes for several years. The cramping was enough to keep me in bed for two to three days. The episodes started happening more frequently three years ago and occurred every three to four weeks.
I read that yogurt can help,so I began to eat plain yogurt every day (although I added fruit and granola). I haven’t had an episode in two-and-a-half years! Why isn’t this suggested by doctors? The change has been amazing. -- K.V.
ANSWER: I am very pleased that you had such great results. Yogurt is often recommended due to the live bacteria in it, which is thought to be beneficial for the gut. Unfortunately, my experience (like most trials) has shown that it doesn’t help the majority of people. The lactose (milk sugar) is problematic for many IBS sufferers as well.
Still, it may be worth a try, and I agree with eating plain yogurt.
A small recent survey revealed that 51% of the retired senior respondents are considering going back to work, also known as “unretiring.” The reason, of course, won’t be a great surprise: They need to go back to work because the cost of everything is going up. The amount of money they’re trying to earn is $500 per month on average.
To be considered before you rush into unretirement:
-- If you’re collecting Social Security and are under full retirement age, your benefit amount might be reduced while you’re earning that extra income. After you reach full retirement age, you’ll be able to work and not have your benefit amount reduced.
-- Your full retirement age depends on your month and year of birth. See the charts on the Social Security website (www.ssa.gov) to determine your full retirement age.
-- If you’ve been retired, consider if you’re ready to make that adjustment to your life that returning to work would bring. It might make the difference between seeking a part-time job as opposed to working full time.
-- If you plan on going back to work and need to provide a resume, don’t use a resume you created years ago. Have a resume service do it for you, if possible.
-- If you do it yourself, don’t list everything you’ve ever done. Go back a maximum of 15 years and don’t detail your work history with every date. Instead, go for broad categories such as your experience, qualifications, skills and accomplishments in previous jobs. If you’re especially skilled with technology, be sure to say so. Leave out the dates of any degrees and awards.
For ideas and hints, search online for “resumes for seniors going back to work” or “resumes for retirees.” Look at the National Council on Aging (www.ncoa.org) for their resume writing guide and AARP (aarp.org) for information on writing a resume after the age of 50.

Why all of a sudden are people hoarding eggs? Sure prices have risen due to the bird flu but all of a sudden they need to fill their carts with dozens and dozens of eggs? I go through 1 doz. eggs in 3 to 4 weeks. There are expiration dates. Because there’s a shortage, which is temporary, they need to hoard eggs before anyone else has a chance to buy. Then the store is forced to limit the amounts or just run out. Are you more important and couldn’t care less if you clean the shelf out leaving none for others? Remember the toilet paper hoarding? Remember the fights and screaming shown on TV? That was embarrassing and those who hoarded toilet paper should be embarrassed. Do you really need to hoard eggs?
Mail Ad Applications
People need to put an end to those credit, insurance, vehicle etc. applications we all receive in the mail. They come pre-filled with too much information which can be stolen and used illegally. Scammers can use these to apply for a credit card just using what’s printed already and fraudulently apply under your name. Or use that information to sell to solicitors. Even minimal information can lead to wrong doings.

DID YOU KNOW?
Diamond engagement rings are presented as tokens of love and affection during wedding proposals. The majority of first-time brides will receive a diamond ring, with surveys indicating only 13 percent opt for another gemstone. Researchers from Emory University determined that the average price for a diamond ring is roughly $2,500. However, grooms can spend much more. Diamonds have symbolized eternal love for centuries, perhaps since they were first discovered in India more than 2,000 years ago. The ancient Greeks actually thought diamonds were tears of the gods, while ancient Romans believed diamonds were splinters from heavenly stars.
