No, we’re not sad or downhearted – Tidbits is just bringing you some quick facts about the color blue, everything from royal and powder to indigo, cerulean, azure and cobalt. • Whether or not we realize it, color can affect our emotions, mood and well-being. Blue is the color of calmness, tranquility and relaxation. It’s believed by many that just seeing the color causes the brain to secrete calming hormones. For this reason, many doctors and dentists have their offices painted blue.

• On June 15, 1215, King John puts his royal seal on the Magna Carta, or “Great Charter,” a peace treaty between John and his barons, guaranteeing that the king would respect feudal rights and privileges, uphold the freedom of the church and maintain the nation’s laws.

Shelf Doors Need Small Adjustment Q: I purchased a shelf unit for my bathroom, one of those put-it-together-yourself things, that includes a set of doors on hinges. I built everything according to directions and used the pre-drilled holes to set the hinges and hang the doors. However, they don’t meet in the middle -- there’s a three-quarter inch gap between them. I don’t know if this was intentional, but it bugs me. Is it advisable to reset the screws or hinges to close the gap? The unit is made of particle board, but is pretty sturdy. -- A Reader, via email A: The adjustment on both sides would be just over a quarter inch. This should be far enough to drill new screw holes that would hold securely without damaging the area near the old screw holes. So, I say, go for it. Just remember the old adage to measure twice, cut once. As you noted, the particle board material of the unit means that once it’s put together, you should avoid removing any of the screws or nails as they likely can’t be put back in the same place and still securely hold the boards together. So you’ll need to measure and mark the distance you want to shift the doors while they’re still hanging, on both the high and low hinges. Double- and triple-check to ensure the upper and lower hinges will sit in line with each other so that the door hangs straight.

Susan Bell has chalked up plenty of memories in the past 37 years as a fourth-grade teacher. And they’ll stay alive, thanks to the thoughtful cards and notes she has received through the years from parents and students. “There are special gifts that I’ll never part with either, like a one-of-a-kind clay pot painted and signed by the kids in my 2004 classroom,” says this 59-year-old former Minnesota State Teacher of the Year Finalist, who’s retiring this year. “When I plant flowers in it every spring, the whimsical yellow ruler design circling the outside rim reminds me how the thoughtful gift keeps on growing, just like the kids,” she said. “And it means a lot that the gift idea was a group project, created by the students.” Her comment got me thinking about the importance of stepping back once in a while and letting kids take the lead. I remember a day a few years ago when I was checking off a routine to-do list and noticed my daughter’s writing at the bottom: “Pick up flower bouquet for Latin teacher.” Her eighth-grade classmates had collected $16 for a group endof-the-year thank-you gift for Mrs. Vitt. What a nice idea, I thought to myself. Anyone who can

motivate 14-year-olds to stick with a dead language for nine months deserves an accolade. En route to the florist, we got sidetracked and stopped at a garden center, where a $3.99 geranium pot caught my daughter’s eye. Within minutes, our cart was blooming with pink, red and white geraniums, a big clay pot and a sack of soil. An idea was germinating. She dumped her plastic bag of coins at the cash-register counter and covered the bill to the penny. We hurried home, where she painted the pot with bright acrylic paints and wrote the date in giant Roman numerals with paint pens, leaving enough room for classmates to sign their Latin names. And then she potted the flowers together. As I watched my daughter in action that day, I internalized the importance of parenting on the sidelines once in a while. If we are patient and don’t try to do everything our way, we present the opportunity for children to learn new skills and grow in confidence.
Once the doors are re-hung, fill the old screw holes with wood putty, let dry, sand smooth and touch-up with paint or stain to match the rest of the unit.

• On June 17, 1885, The Statue of Liberty, a gift of friendship from the people of France to the people of the United States, arrives in New York City’s harbor.

Using a helper to keep the door from tearing away, carefully unscrew the hinges where they meet the door and lift the door away. Locate the marked area (and here’s another good time to check the measurements). Drill pilot holes that are significantly smaller in diameter than the hinge screws. With your helper holding the door in place, reattach the door to the hinge at the new pilot holes. Test the door to make sure it opens and closes properly. Repeat all this with the second door.
Small gouges in particle board furniture can be inexpensively repaired by sanding lightly, filling the gouge with like-colored wood putty, then sanding smooth once the putty is dry.

disturbed sleep and fatigue. No lab test, X-ray or scan discloses anything amiss. One aid to diagnosis is tender points -- specific body sites where finger pressure elicits pain far out of proportion to the pressure applied.
Fibromyalgia Is an Elusive Ailment
No one has a definite answer about what’s going on. One popular explanation is that people with fibromyalgia perceive pain with heightened sensitivity because of an imbalance of brain chemicals and a misfiring of brain nerves. Disturbed sleep is another consequence of these disorders.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a 43-yearold mother of three children, and I also teach school. Since last spring, I have lost all energy, and my muscles seem to hurt all over. I have consulted three doctors. None has found anything wrong with me or my tests. The last doctor has suggested fibromyalgia. I am scheduled to see him again in three weeks. I know nothing about this illness, and I wonder how it’s treated. Please summarize for me. -L.J.
Often the first treatment for fibromyalgia is an antidepressant. It’s given not so much to relieve depression -- although fibromyalgia is a depressing situation -- but to restore normal brain-cell communication and normal brain chemistry to dampen the brain’s magnified perception of pain. Savella and Cymbalta are such antidepressants that are approved for the treatment of fibromyalgia. Another medicine often prescribed is Lyrica, a drug whose primary purpose is seizure control. Heat and massage might decrease pain.
ANSWER: Fibromyalgia is an elusive condition. It’s defined as widespread body pain, an ache-all-over feeling, just like you describe. Accompanying symptoms include
Exercise is an essential part of treatment. It sounds absurd to ask someone in pain to exercise, but a carefully graded exercise
Best Dog Breeds for Allergy Sufferers DEAR PAW’S CORNER: There are dogs that do not cause allergies because they have hair, not fur. My stepmother has one, and no one has a reaction to it. Here’s a list of potentially hypoallergenic dog breeds: --Basenji --Bedlington Terrier --Bichon Frise --Border Terrier --Chinese Crested Hope this helps! -- Brooke S., Barre, Vt. DEAR BROOKE: Thanks so much! This is good list to start from and represents a variety of different breeds. For example, the Chinese Crested is considered a toy dog, very small-framed like a Chihuahua, but with either a soft, straight double coat of hair or no hair at all, depending on the breed. Meanwhile, the Bedlington Terrier is small to mediumsized with the classic curly Terrier coat. When kept groomed, this good-natured breed is less likely to set off allergies. Grooming, even of supposedly hypoallergenic breeds, is a key to preventing allergic reaction. If you have allergies and are considering getting a dog, find out if its coat will need to be kept trimmed short in order to lessen the amount of shedding. Another interesting fact is that some people are actually allergic to a dog’s saliva, not to its dander. This isn’t always easy to discover, since petting a dog and getting licked by that dog tends to be a package deal. People with allergies who still want a dog should do their research and, ideally, take the opportunity to get up close to one of these hypoallergenic breeds to see if their allergies stay under control.

program goes a long way toward restoring normal feeling. You can start with something as simple as a walk.

*** Agatha Christie fans, rejoice! Her favorite novel, “Crooked House,” never produced as a telefilm or movie, will start shooting in London this summer. The great Julie Andrews will star with Gemma Atherton, Matthew Goode and Gabriel Byrne. “Crooked House” is budgeted at $20 million, not a lot for a film these days, but then Agatha Christie was the best at creating one-set drawing room mysteries. Kiefer Sutherland, currently starring in “That Championship Season” on Broadway, will soon be shooting in Northern Ireland and New York for the film “Fairytale of New York,” with Kate Bosworth as his leading lady. It’s about a cynical but charming Irish standup comic who, while in New York, connects with an intriguing American woman. Kiefer’s pilot for a new series will have to wait in the wings as a midseason replacement while he completes this film and “Melancholia.”
