Social Security Double Please note that self-employed people pay double social security. Half of your social security was deducted from each paycheck, and your employer matched it. Self-employed people pay both parts.
S E V RA Sending our thanks The Teresa House Board of Directors, Staff and Volunteers would like to send many thanks to all of our 2021 United Way and SEFA donors. We are constantly amazed by the generosity of our community! Your donations are used in the day-to-day operations of caring for the terminally ill and their families. It is only through your generosity that the ministry of Teresa House can continue. Special thanks to the many donors who contribute every year. We are blessed to live in such a caring community. A friend during the storm I would like to thank Amy Catto for all her support when I was going through a tough time with my husband. I met her when I was going for a walk in the park. She noticed I was sad and asked me what was wrong. I told her about my situation, and she comforted me. She and I met every day after that, and we drank coffee and chatted. I am not having problems with my husband anymore! She gave me more support than a marriage counselor would, and she did it for nothing! I hope to help you and your family in the future, Amy! Brockport Labs are the best! On Tuesday, August 3rd, I went to the lab to get blood drawn and another test as well. What a job to have, but at Brockport lab the phlebotomists always do an excellent job. I have bad veins, as well as being “chicken little” when it comes to getting blood drawn, so they have to be extra attentive so that I don’t turn green. Yes, I was told one time (another lab) that I actually turned green when they had difficulty finding a good vein. So, a shout out to Cassandra Taylor who had to deal with me and my bad veins! Not only was she pleasant and made me feel comfortable, but she knew what she was doing. It was painless and quick. I didn’t even bruise, which is a telltale sign when someone doesn’t do their job correctly. Cassandra, I look forward to seeing you next time around, which will be about 3 months from now! Thank you for doing a job well done!
Fragrance chemicals Not many know this but manufacturers are not required to list their fragrance ingredients on product labels. Often only one word, “fragrance” is used on the label and can hide a cocktail of more than 100 toxic ingredients. This is because fragrances are considered to be “trade secrets.” The fragrance industry regulates itself, so that safety testing does not have to be confirmed by regulators before products are sold to consumers. Fragrance also contains phthalates, which are toxic. Fragrance is classified as allergens, hormone disruptors, asthma triggers, neurotoxins, and carcinogens. These chemicals can pass from your skin (from clothes) into your blood. You also breath them in. Many products sold are scent boosters which is a boost containing many of these toxins. It’s not real scent; it’s all chemicals. Please be careful to your health. Fragrances are in almost every product we use. Speaking truth I want to agree with the person who vented last week about the senior apartments in a local town. I have had bugs in my apartment for a few years now. My carpet is disgusting. I’m embarrassed when I have company come visit. If someone dies or moves, they might paint or put down another cheap carpet. There are a couple of buildings that have had no fire alarms for a month now. The owner has everyone over a barrel. They know we are senior and are on a fixed incomes, and now we got a notice that our rent is going up at least 35.00 starting next month and 3% every year after. But never has anything been said about routine maintenance and upkeep. [Local town] needs more senior apartments that are modestly priced. If anyone is in agreement, please let your voice be heard! Stuck in intersection The person complaining about the rude, impatient driver is a rude, inconsiderate driver. A driver is required to ensure they can make it through an intersection before entering. The person who got stuck is in the wrong. They should wait behind the stop line until the intersection clears before going through. If the light changes while they are waiting, they cannot just go through because they waited. The timing of the lights ensures that too many vehicles can’t go through an intersection so that the flow of traffic is as smooth as possible. People trying to beat the light to avoid being forced to wait another light cycle cause delays for everyone. So, stuck in the middle of the intersection is the rude inconsiderate driver here.
