ROMANTICALLYNAMED LOCALES AROUND THE WORLD KISSING If kissing is what lovers have in mind, they might like to travel to the municipality of Kissing in the Aichach-Friedberg district in Bavaria, Germany. Kissing is a relatively small area with just around 12,000 inhabitants. Not too far away is Petting, another municipality in Bavaria.

DID YOU KNOW? Thought they might be most often associated with dogs, ticks can affect cats as well. According to Blue Cross for Pets, cats are most likely to encounter ticks if they live near areas with lots of deer and sheep or in regions where other wildlife, such as hedgehogs and rabbits, are present.

While ticks are active throughout the year, cats are most likely to encounter them between spring and autumn. That’s due in part to the climate during these seasons, which tends to be warmer and therefore more inviting to cats, compelling them to spend more time outdoors than they do in winter.

Ticks, which are egg-shaped, are big enough to spot, so cat owners should conduct a careful examination of their cats’ fur each time they come into the house after spending time in the yard. Blue Cross for Pets notes that ticks feel like small bumps on a cat’s skin. Ticks are most likely to attach themselves to particular areas of a cat’s body. These areas include the head, neck, ears, and feet. Routine brushing, especially whenever cats come inside after time spent outdoors, can help cat owners spot and remove ticks from their cats. It’s important to recognize that indoor cats are not invulnerable to ticks, as other pets and humans can track ticks indoors. Periodic inspections and brushing of indoor cats’ can protect them from ticks and the diseases ticks carry.

Envisioned as a tool to help animal lovers help their communities save more pets, the new community lifesaving dashboard combines groundbreaking data visualization technology with the most comprehensive data set on animal welfare ever published.

Two years in the making, the tool crowdsources, validates and translates complex data about the dogs and cats in U.S. shelters.

It brings an unprecedented level of transparency to the animal welfare movement, unlocking new opportunities for saving pets by providing a detailed picture showing precisely—on a city, state and community level—where cats and dogs need to be saved.

For the first time, anyone with a smartphone or computer will be able to easily access his or her community’s snapshot of how many cats and dogs need to be saved and find tools to help individual shelters save more pets.

The organization used independent research, government data and even FOIA requests to create the most comprehensive data set on animal welfare ever published.

Best Friends CEO Julie Castle says the investment in data was necessary to achieve the organization’s goal of bringing the whole country no-kill by 2025.

“Up until two years ago, we didn’t even know how many shelters existed,” she said. “How can you possibly save all the animals if you don’t even know how many need to be saved?

“With this data in hand, our goal to save every savable pet by 2025 is finally within reach,” Castle said.

To explore the community lifesaving dashboard, visit BestFriends.org/2025.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the farfalle and cook until al dente, following the manufacturer’s suggested cooking time. About 2 minutes before the pasta is done, add the asparagus.

Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with a fork or whisk until slightly frothy. Set aside.

When the pasta and asparagus are done, drain and set aside.

Immediately melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the pasta and asparagus and toss briefly to coat them with the butter mixture. Pour in the eggs, add 1⁄4 cup Parmesan and the cream, and stir and toss the mixture until the eggs just have begun to form moist curds, about 2 minutes. Add the crabmeat, chives and parsley and continue cooking and tossing until the eggs have formed more solid curds that cling to the farfalle, 1 to 2 minutes more.

Serve immediately, passing grated Parmesan and black pepper for guests to add to taste.

FEBRUARY

SPECIAL Mention this ad and your igloo fee will be waived* - SUNDAY BRUNCH ONLY *Based upon availability. Holidays excluded.

Previous igloo booking fees will not be refunded.

Milton Hershey dabbled in commercializing chocolate. Hershey began as a caramel maker, but experimented with covering the caramels in chocolate in 1894. Hershey would go on to develop one of the most successful brands of chocolate in the United States, which included the famous Hershey bar. In 1907, Hershey launched production of tear-drop shaped “kisses.” (The chocolates were given their unusual name because of the “smooching” noise made by the chocolate when being manufactured.)

The kisses became wildly popular and made for affordable chocolate gifts on Valentine’s Day. Many other chocolate manufacturers soon began packaging their chocolates in special boxes for Valentine’s Day. Russell Stover and Whitmans are two such manufacturers who have long specialized in heart-shaped boxes or other decorative Valentine’s gifts.

One doesn’t have to be a famous movie producer or sports star to donate assets to charity in wills.

Individuals sometimes make the choice to leave a portion of their estate to a favorite charity to create a legacy that helps the unfortunate.

Such a decision may surprise family members, so it may be wise to discuss plans when drafting wills and ensuring that the correct method of bequeathing estates to charities is followed.

When a will is written, it is typically in a person’s best interest to consult with an estate-planning attorney prior to making any decisions. When working in conjunction with a financial planner, an attorney can help you grow your estate and ensure your assets will be distributed according to your wishes.

I’m the oldest antique in town. ~Norman Rockwell

‘Brittle’ Diabetes Is Hard to Control

Discover the Human Touch in Hearing Technology

---

Sue DeBruyne, Au.D. Doctor of Audiology

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 74 years old and have been a brittle Type 1 diabetic for 50 years. I have no history of heart disease. My doctor of 40 years recently retired and had me control my hemoglobin A1C to a range of 5.96.2. My new doctor, who is in her mid-30s, wants me to elevate my hemoglobin A1C to 8.0. Is this the new way of controlling blood sugar? I am confused! Can you please explain the difference in opinion? -- E.S. ANSWER: “Brittle” diabetes is when it is hard to control too-high and too-low blood sugars.

The A1C is a blood test that looks at average blood sugar over the past few months. A normal A1C is between 4% and 5.6%. People with normal A1C levels are at very low risk of complications from diabetes, especially of the kidneys (leading to dialysis), eyes (which ultimately leads to blindness) and nerves (diabetic neuropathy is painful and predisposes to injury).

On the other hand, low A1C levels put people at higher risk for low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which can be very dangerous. People with Type 2 diabetes and blockages in blood vessels (or at very high risk) were shown to have higher risk of heart attack. For this reason, recent guidelines for older adults with Type 2 diabetes have had more relaxed goals, in the range of 7 to 8, although these do need to be individualized. For Type 1 diabetes, most guidelines still recommend an A1C goal of less than 7%. However, for a person with Type 1 diabetes who also has other medical problems that are likely to impact mortality, and for those at high risk for severe hypoglycemia, a more relaxed goal is not unreasonable.

Hypoglycemia is too-low blood sugar, with risk of confusion. This is a big problem in people with brittle diabetes.

A lower A1C is associated with a lower risk of damage to small blood vessels, which is what is responsible for nerve damage, eye disease and most diabetic kidney disease. If you have been able to keep your A1C in the range of 5.9 to 6.2, which is not an easy feat, and have not had any serious episodes of low blood sugar recently, I would wonder why your new doctor feels your blood sugar needs to be substantially higher than it is.

Finding the right balance between good control and freedom from hypoglycemia isn’t always easy, but these are the risks and benefits your doctors have been considering. ***

RECOGNIZE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS All-purpose cleaners: Many cleaners list bleach and ammonia among their ingredients. Bleach may be listed as sodium hypochlorite.

When used as directed in a well-ventilated space, bleach and ammonia can be relatively safe. However, fumes from bleach or ammonia can cause rashes and skin irritation and irritate the eyes and respiratory tract. Bleach and ammonia should never be mixed because mixing the two can produce a deadly chloramine gas.

Vinegar and baking soda can be used as a replacement for many household cleaning products, and these alternatives have virtually no dangerous side effects.

We Care About

Your Smiles

by Dr. Steve Sokolovskiy

DENTAL IMPLANTS: A SOLUTION FOR MISSING TEETH Missing teeth affect speech, chewing, and the integrity of the jaw. They also cause slow shifting of teeth into the empty spaces. Restoration with dental implants is today’s most common solution, whether for one or multiple teeth. Implant replacements are reliable and look and feel like real teeth. When properly cared for, implants can last a lifetime. The somewhat lengthy implant process begins with replacement of the tooth’s root with metal screws that act as anchors for the artificial teeth to come.

Once the screws are placed and the implant is given time to heal, the implant becomes securely fused to the jawbone. When completely healed, a dental crown is placed on top of the implant and secured.

If you are interested in finding out how implants can be of benefit to you, your smile, and your happiness, just give us a call at 585.343.4246, BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL. We have years of experience turning imperfect smiles into ones our patients are proud to display. From sound advice about implants to routine well visits to major dental reconstructions, we’ve got your dental needs covered.

Join our list of happy patients. When you need dental care of any kind, we’re here at 6 Batavia City Centre.

P.S. The earliest versions of dental implants were carved bamboo pegs used in ancient Chinese civilization circa 2000 BC.

cwk.mountaintimber@gmail.com Chuck 716-708-7996 UPGRADE ATTIC INSULATION TO SAVE ON ENERGY EXPENSES (NAPSI)—One of the most cost-effective ways to make your home more comfortable year-round is to add insulation to your attic, including the attic trap or access door. By sealing uncontrolled air leaks, points out the U.S. Department of Energy, you can save 10 percent to 20 percent on your heating and cooling bills. Fortunately, this can be a relatively easy task.

PLUMBING

Why Improve Your Insulation An improperly insulated attic can be a preventable source of energy loss and unnecessary expense. Over time, insulation can settle or compact, which reduces its R-value. An insulating material’s resistance to conductive heat flow is measured or rated in terms of its thermal resistance or R-value— the higher the R-value, the greater the insulating effectiveness. A breezy attic may also result in drifts or shifts in your original insulation, leaving gaps where heat can escape. By topping up your attic insulation, you’ll increase the thermal level, reducing your overall energy usage and saving you money.

Need your furnace repaired or inspected?

Fully Insured • Free Estimates

How To Do It A simple way to do this is to topup the existing insulation in your attic. This is one project that homeowners can often tackle for themselves. Look for timesaving, easy-to-install products, such as stone wool batts, that are easy to work with and don’t require costly blower rentals, protective clothing or an investment in expensive equipment.

You can easily add Rockwool ComfortBatt insulation on top of most existing insulation to increase R-value in an attic without having to do any remediation or removal first. The batts will remain stable and won’t shift after they are put in place, ensuring upgraded thermal protection. They’re also:

• Noncombustible • Excellent for sound absorbency • Not likely to rot or promote growth of fungi or mildew • Water and moisture resistant.

To apply the insulation, simply begin in one corner of the attic, open the bag and place the stone wool batts as needed to get a consistent layer throughout the attic. Make sure to cover spaces around ducts, wiring and piping, converting these awkward spaces into energy-saving areas. One of the advantages of stone wool batts is their compatibility with other insulation types, eliminating any need to remove existing product.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Training Your Dog for Hiking Season DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My 1-year-old puppy, Corky, is an energetic mutt who loves to be outside.

I started hiking last year, before I adopted Corky, and I plan to do lots more hiking trips when the weather gets warmer. I want to bring Corky along, but I’ve read mixed advice about dogs on trails and at campsites. What’s your take? -- Ellen in Boulder, Colorado DEAR ELLEN: You can definitely take Corky along! Preparation is key: You must prepare Corky for the hike, and you need to research the trails before departing to find out important information, including: -- Are dogs allowed on the trail?

-- What are other rules about pets on the trail?

-- How long is the hike you’re planning?

-- How far can Corky reasonably walk?

-- Is water available along the trail, or will you need to carry extra for your dog?

-- How good is Corky’s behavior training -- will he come to you as soon as you call?

When I’m on a hike, I follow Leave No Trace rules -- which also apply to dogs, so be prepared to carry out his poop -- and another set of rules I call “Annoy No Other Hikers.” Included in this personal set of rules are a few dog-specific ones: -- Keep my dog on a leash during the hike, especially on popular trails.

-- Clean up after my dog.

-- Make sure to carry adequate water, food, first aid and safety gear (such as booties and vest).

-- Keep my dog under control when greeting oncoming hikers. Not everyone is thrilled by dogs, and a jumping, out-of-control dog does the community no favors.

Find more training and hiking tips at the American Hiking Society (americanhiking.org/resources/ hiking-with-dogs/). Pick up dog gear advice at Reckless Roaming (recklessroaming.com/how-tohike-with-your-dog/). And Chewy has some good all-around tips as well.

SENIOR NEWS By Matilda Charles

Beware of the Cold Administrators of the local senior center called it a tailgate party and envisioned many dozens of elderly gathered in the parking lot outside the center, drinking coffee and snacking on doughnuts from the bakery.

They’d sent out notices and emails a week in advance.

No one showed up. Not a single senior was to be seen, while center management stood on the steps wringing their hands and wondering why.

The problem, we all know, is that the oldest of the senior center management team is less than half our average age, with their assistants barely out of college. Degrees galore, of course, in gerontology this and geriatric that, but framed documents hanging on the wall don’t indicate a personal knowledge of what all seniors know for fact: We get cold!

Not only do we get cold, but we have to be careful. Our circulation isn’t what it used to be. We lose body heat faster and sometimes don’t even know it’s happening. When our core temperature drops too low, it can damage our liver, kidney and heart. Hypothermia is a real risk and can be deadly.

It bears repeating that we need to beware of the cold. Here’s what you can do to stay on top of your own body temperature: • Don’t skimp on the heat at home. Keep the thermostat at 68-70 F and wear a sweater inside. (If you visit an elderly person in the winter, go to the thermostat and see what the setting is.) If you must save money on heating, close off rooms you’re not using.

• Ask someone to install clear plastic film insulation on your windows.

You’ll be surprised how much it cuts down on icy drafts.

• Keep a blanket or quilt on the sofa or recliner, and cover up when you sit down.

• If you have to go out, wear layers and a good hat, gloves and scarf. Don’t let body heat escape out of your neckline.

And if your senior center hosts an outdoor parking-lot gathering, check the weather report. (c) 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

DIFFERENT GENERATIONS CAN LEARN AND BENEFIT FROM ONE ANOTHER Practicing interpersonal skills: All the technological savviness in the world cannot compensate for the power of strong interpersonal skills. Being able to address a group of people or speak one-on-one is essential in the workplace and in life. When younger generations speak to older adults, they may become stronger at verbal discourse and have greater perspective of different points of conversation.

D id You Know ? If you have psoriasis, an autoimmune skin condition marked by red, flaky patches on the body, you also could be at risk for a certain type of arthritis. Psoriatic arthritis, w hich causes stiffness, sw elling and pain in and around the joints, affects up to 30 percent of people w ith psoriasis, says the National Psoriasis Foundation. W hile psoriatic arthritis can develop at any time, it is most common in people betw een the ages of 30 and 50. This type of arthritis can develop slow ly or come on quickly and be severe. Just like psoriasis itself, psoriatic arthritis tends to go through periods of flare-up and remission. Typically, the skin condition precedes the joint disease in 85 percent of patients.

Keep in mind that a severe case of psoriasis w ill not necessarly translate into a severe case of arthritis. Psoriatic arthritis may be treated like other forms of arthritis. Doctors may prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs, antirheumatic drugs, exercise, and complementary therapies.Those w ho have psoriasis and have begun to experience joint pain and stiffness should talk to a doctor about potential therapies.

VALENTINES TRADITIONS FROM AROUND THE WORLD Valentine’s Day is celebrated across the globe.

Come Valentine’s Day, candy, flowers and other gifts are exchanged between sweethearts in one of the many traditions associated with the holiday.

The origins of Valentine’s Day are largely unknown. Some suggest Valentine’s Day was initially a way to honor St. Valentine on the anniversary of his death. Others believe it was the Christian church’s way of Christianizing the Pagan celebration of Lupercalia, a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture.

Regardless of its origins, Valentine’s Day is now celebrated by millions and is one of the retail industry’s most lucrative shopping holidays.

Protecting Our Ecosystems at Churchville-Chili Middle School

BY AMANDA PULEO

F

ifth graders at Churchville-Chili Middle School have been learning about the importance of clean water in the environment, and on Jan. 7 they welcomed Rochester Institute of Technology’s Environmental Education Specialist Kaeti Stoss to their classrooms to dive deeper into the subject.

Students compared their test tube samples to the pH chart to determine if the creek is able to support a range of healthy life forms.

Students were then able to do several hands-on experiments with lab equipment and water samples from Irondequoit Creek that Stoss supplied. With the help of Churchville-Chili Enrichment Specialists Andrea Lynch and Stephanie Ricci, students tested the water’s pH and then examined their healthy stream water for a myriad of life forms, including tiny fish, crane fly larvae and water beetles.

Students were asked to share their thoughts and experiences on how to keep waterways healthy.

Stoss is an ambassador for RIT’s water quality-focused environmental education programming for grades K-12. Her mission is to increase awareness and inspire young people to protect this vital resource. Fifth grade classes had just finished a standard science unit on water and are venturing into a study of ecosystems and macro invertebrates, so Stoss’ presentation made an excellent learning bridge. Participating students learned about the unexpectedly high amount of water we use every day, the part water plays in building healthy ecosystems, the many threats to water quality, and practical actions they can take to cut down on pollution. They were also introduced to the concept of pH and learned the effects acid rain has on waterways.

Water samples contained a wide variety of healthy fish, insects, larvae and mussels.

“The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up…” ~ J. M. Power What a dreary world it would be if we had no dreams of the things to which we aspire. It is our dreams that shape our goals.

We imagine the situations that would make us happy, then direct our efforts toward making those dreams come true.

The important thing is that we recognize that achievement is a two part program. First, we dream of the goals we desire. Then we work as hard as we can to make those dreams come true.

Unless we wake up and put part two into effect, our dreams are worthless.

Our years of experience enables us to provide funerals that are beautiful as well as comforting. You can safely place your trust in us.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2022

Barbara June Driscoll (Stewart) January 26, 2022 Groveland: Barbara June Driscoll, 1932 -2022. She was predeceased by her parents, George and Eleanor Stewart. Survived by her 4 children, Sharon (Robert) Wolter of Livonia, Kathleen Ciufo of Manchester, Charles Sweeney of Livonia, and John (Sarah) Driscoll of Groveland; multiple grandchildren and great-granchildren, and several nieces and nephews.

Barbara graduated from Geneseo High School and attended college in Albany, NY. She worked as a nurse at Noyes Memorial Hospital until her retirement. Barb was active in the American Red Cross, Catholic Charities, and was also a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Dansville.

FINANCING FUNERALS According to Lincoln Heritage Funeral Advantage, the average funeral costs between $7,000 and $10,000. It can be easy to overlook planning for such a large expense, and many people may think their funeral costs will be covered by their life insurance policies. However, that isn’t always the case and certain complications can arise. The funeral planning information guide Funeral Basics states that sometimes insurance policies become invalid if payments have not been made. Policies may have liens on them, or some named beneficiaries may no longer be alive. This can stall the process as issues are worked through. In addition, it can sometimes take between six and eight weeks for beneficiaries to receive life insurance policy payouts. Since many funerals take place within a week of a person’s death, it’s unlikely that surviving family members will be able to finance funerals with life insurance payouts. In addition, some policies may not be assignable, which means the benefits cannot be assigned to go to a third party who will file the claim for you (i.e., the funeral home or an assignment company with which the funeral home partners). It’s important to determine if an existing policy is assignable and to take appropriate measures if it is not. Individuals may want to consider burial insurance or preneed funeral insurance.

Another option is to use preplanning services, which allow people to prepay for funeral expenses and make planning decisions regarding the services and burial so that family members will not be tasked with financing and/or planning a funeral during a difficult time in their lives.

A private graveside service will be held at St. Mary’s Catholic Cemetery in Geneseo at the discretion of the family. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, PO Box 22324, New York, NY 10087.

Estate planning is an important part of managing one’s finances. A qualified attorney who specializes in estate planning can help people write their wills and, if necessary, establish trusts that can help surviving loved ones in the wake of their death.

Ronald J. Forrester January 31, 2022 Piffard: At age 51, Ron passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Monday, January 31, 2022 at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, NY.

Forrester, and his siblings, Diane “Lynn” Forrester (Brian Currier) and Jason Forrester, along with several nieces, nephews and friends, including Pat Caldwell, Bruce Eastman, Ken Alexander, and Marv Stefko.

Ron had numerous passions, including: NASCAR, the San Francisco 49ers, hunting, fishing, and being with his friends, but most of all spending time with his family. Ron will be greatly missed.

Friends and family are invited to call from 3-6PM on Tuesday, February 8, 2022 at the Kevin W. Dougherty Funeral Home, 21 Big Tree Street in Livonia, where Ron’s funeral service will immediately follow at 6PM. Interment will take place privately at Erwin Cemetery in Springwater.

SNAP AND SHARE Send us your photos and captions at gvpennysaver.com under My Hometown

HOMETOWN PHOTOS Dysfunctional Health A local healthcare entity has a phone system that is totally dysfunctional. If you want to reach them, you must do it through their call center. One time, I spent 2 hours trying to speak with a person. Most recently, I spent 4 hours, in various pieces, trying to reach someone. It seems that, if you do not have a computer, the only way to communicate with them is to go to the facility. Apparently, they disconnected the individual phones so as not to pay to have someone answer them.

S E V RA Service matters!

I would love to give a huge shout out to the wonderful people who work at the Valero Gas Station on Route 39 (Wadsworth Ave) in Avon. Being one of the few full service stations around, they get many customers, myself included, who stop to avail themselves of their wonderful service, either due to weather or for convenience. Even during these bitterly cold days they still manage to greet you with an upbeat attitude and a smile.

I, for one, find it refreshing and will continue to frequent their business for some time to come.

Toys for Tots The Memorial Day Detachment #468 Marine Corps League would like to thank everyone who participated in our 2021 Toys For Tots campaign in Ontario and Livingston counties. Due to your help and generosity, we were able to distribute over 6,000 toys and help around 2,000 children have a Merry Christmas.

A lot of these children would not have otherwise been able to celebrate the holiday with a new toy without your help. All of the toys collected in each county are distributed in that county along with donations from our great corporate sponsors. Thank you and we look forward to our 2022 campaign.

Living in a Winter Wonderland What a great time for us to get outdoors, be it for a day trip or a weekend away from home. Out of shape? No problem! Walk along a groomed trail, dirt road, or just hop off the roadside, turn the car off, and listen. Too many times, people that have lived in Upstate NY for years are complaining about cold and snow. By April, I become one, but far more often, complaints are as vast as the blinding tundra. Enjoy the snow, put up with the cold, and if you find yourself saying, “Snow, go away” in January, maybe it is time to pack up and move.

Bus red lights Please stop running my bus' red lights. When a bus stops and the red lights are on, that means you need to stop! Not to keep driving through and give me a wave. In the last few weeks, I have had many people running the red on my bus. We are trying to get kids safely to and from school. Please stop a distance from the bus so we know you are stopping and watching for our kids! Let's all be safe out on the road.

Slow down please!

To the residents of [local road]: I live here. The road is eight miles long, double yellow, and 35 MPH the entire length because of all its curves and turns. You could probably stretch 35 MPH to 41 or 42, but not 50 or 55. I am tired of taking my life in my hands just getting my mail. Also, I do not like the dirty looks I get for slowing you down while crossing the road. I am 71, and I would like to see 72.

Seriously!

I didn't get a chance to vote in that GVPS poll asking about the environment. I am not concerned at all about the environment.

Why should I be concerned about something that cannot be controlled? So, that would be 42%, plus 1. Have a nice day.

Animal Advocates Thank you to all who watch out for and help helpless animals.

You do not have to donate to an organization who pays their CEO $750,000 a year. You can make a huge difference in an animals well-being by donating to your local animal shelter or volunteering. You can also buy cat and dog food and deliver it to families in need or the woman down your street or in the next neighborhood who feeds and gives shelter to stray cats. Three friends and I have been doing this for a couple years now. We have yet to have anyone refuse food for the animals. You won't have to look too far to find animals in need. As for reporting suspected abuse or neglect, yes, call 911. They will direct you to your local animal control/animal abuse contact numbers, and your issue will be checked out.

See something; say something. You are their voice.

Rent your first home. The Allied survey found that 31 percent of respondents indicated the most challenging part of relocating for a job was finding a home, while 29 percent felt acclimating to their new community was the most challenging aspect of their relocation. Adults who rent their first homes upon relocating can remove some of the pressure to find the perfect home, knowing full well their first home in their new community will be temporary. If possible, rent in a location that makes it easy to immerse yourself in your new community, which should make the adjustment easier. In addition, place items that are unnecessary for day-to-day life in storage. Having some of your possessions already packed should make your next move less stressful.

WORKING PARENTS CAN CREATE BETTER WORK-LIFE BALANCE Look for ways to be more efficient. Interactions with coworkers can make work more enjoyable, but working parents should not spend too much time shooting the breeze with their fellow employees. Doing so wastes time and only contributes to work-related stress. Commuters who don’t drive themselves to work can be more efficient by using their commutes to read emails, arrange meetings or catch up on projects.

Doing so allows for more time to get work done while in the office, which can make it easier to go home on time.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson * If you store nail polish in the fridge, it will dry more quickly and last longer. * “In cold winter months, keep your robe (and slippers or whatever else) under the covers with you when you sleep. Pull it next to or over you a few minutes before you get up. It’ll be toasty and will help make the transition into the cold a little less harsh.” -- G.G. in New York * As tax time draws ever closer, try taping a large manila envelope to the fridge, leaving the top open.

Immediately place all tax-related forms and receipts in the envelope as they come in. This way, when you are ready to start your taxes, all items will be together and easy to find. * “To help moisten really dry feet, slather on lotion, wrap feet in plastic wrap, then slip on some socks overnight -- or for as long as you can stand it.” -- B.H. in Michigan * “My no-iron tip: I toss the wrinkly garment into the dryer for about five to 10 minutes with a damp washcloth, and it steams most wrinkles out. It won’t look starched and pressed, but it’s good enough for casual wear or running-late mornings. I haven’t ironed in years.”

-- E.W. in Florida
