TIDBITS® VISITS SOME ROYAL RESIDENCES
by Kathy Wolfe Tidbits travels across the pond this week to see how the royals live. •When in London, Queen Elizabeth stays at Buckingham Palace, the official royal residence since 1837. It’s also the administrative headquarters of the monarchy. The palace has 775 rooms, including 52 royal and guest bedrooms, 188 bedrooms for staff, 92 offices, and 78 bathrooms. It’s the London residence of Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, as well as that of the Queen’s youngest son, Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, and his wife Sophie, when they are not at their country home, Bagshot Park. Princes Charles and Andrew were both born in the Palace. • King George III, the grandfather of Queen Victoria, purchased Buckingham House in 1761 for his wife, Queen Charlotte, for use as a family retreat. Oddly enough, George had never met Charlotte until their wedding day. Fourteen of their 15 children were born in the house. • In 1826, George IV undertook the project of turning Buckingham House into a palace, doubling its size. • Three weeks after Queen Victoria ascended to the throne in 1837, she moved into Buckingham Palace from Kensington Palace. turn the page for more!

TIDBITS of Kootenai County, Idaho Issue #34 August 19th ROYAL RESIDENCES (continued): • After Victoria married and began having children, she had another wing added to accommodate guest bedrooms and nurseries for her children, which eventually would total nine. • Buckingham’s balcony has been the scene of many famous moments, including the first public kiss of Charles and Diana and William and Catherine. Queen Elizabeth stands there for her official birthday celebrations. The first public appearance was in 1851, when Victoria stepped out for the opening celebration of The Great Exhibition, London’s World’s Fair. • The Queen’s weekend retreat, Windsor Castle, is about an hour from London. It was built by William the Conqueror, and completed in 1086. It’s the world’s oldest and largest occupied castle, and has been inhabited by 39 British monarchs. William chose the site as a prime location to guard the western approach to London. • During the 1170s, the original wood walls of Windsor Castle were replaced with stone and additional apartments were added by King Henry II. Huge additions were constructed in the 1360s and 1670s. A tragic fire in 1992 damaged or destroyed one-fifth of Windsor Castle when a spotlight ignited a curtain. More than 1.5 million gallons of water were needed to put out the fire over the course of 15 hours. Over the next five years, $50 million was spent restoring the castle. • Kensington Palace was Queen Victoria’s birthplace and childhood home. In modern times, it has been the home of Princess Margaret, Charles and Diana, Prince William and Kate Middleton, Princess Eugenie, and various royal cousins. Princes William and Harry spent their childhood in Kensington. More than a million bouquets of flowers were laid outside the gates following the death of Princess Diana.

* Struggling with your shower cleanliness? Keep a bottle of shower sanitizer and a grout brush in the shower at all times. Use the grout brush if something pops up, and spray shower daily. This should greatly extend the time between deep cleanings. * “I bought a television recently and didn’t realize until I got it home that there are NO buttons on the unit itself. It operates only through the remote control. So, I put some hook and loop tape on the remote, and also on the TV and the side table. That remote stays put, and I can always find it when I want to turn the TV off!” -- I.J.M. in New York * Hotel rooms can be germ paradises. Try sticking your TV remote inside of a plastic bag (you can use the one that comes with the ice bucket). Touch all you want; germs are trapped inside. * Brooms get worn down with use. Be sure to remove clumps of hair and dust bunnies after use, and give it a dip in soapy water or a spray with the hose weekly (not straw brooms, though). Hanging a broom will give it a longer life. * “After we replaced our kitchen knives with a nice block, we repurposed the magnetic strip to the garage, where it can hold a variety of tools and hardware.” -- E.P. in North Carolina * If you want to keep a few bottles of beverage cold in your hotel room, use one of the trash bins lined with a bag that’s filled with ice. The actual ice bucket is typically too small to use as a cooler, and if you use the bathroom sink, where will you wash your hands?

TIDBITS of Kootenai County, Idaho Issue #34 August 19th 2019 ROYAL RESIDENCES (continued): • Kensington Palace was known as Nottingham House when William III purchased it from the Earl of Nottingham in 1689. • Highgrove House is the country property of Prince Charles and his wife Camilla. Although completed in 1798, it didn’t become royal property until 1980. Charles remodeled the home, which sits on about 900 acres (364 ha), and is a working farm. The Prince has cultivated 100 acres of spectacular gardens, which receive upwards of 30,000 visitors annually. He has published five books on his project, including his principles of organic gardening. • When in London, Charles and Camilla reside at Clarence House, a home inhabited by Queen Elizabeth’s mother for more than 50 years, as well as by Elizabeth and Phillip for six years when she was just a princess. The house has always been owned by the royal family, having been completed on the grounds of St. James’s Palace in 1827. • Henry VIII built St. James’s Palace in 1536, and it was the home to kings and queens until Queen Victoria’s reign. She married Prince Albert in the Palace’s chapel in 1840. It’s home to Princess Anne, and four other princesses. • Sandringham House sits on 20,000 acres, including 60 acres of gardens. This country retreat was the wedding gift from Queen Victoria to her son Edward in 1862. It’s the royal tradition to spend Christmas at Sandringham. • Anmer Hall, built in the 18th century, is part of the Sandringham estate and was a wedding gift from Queen Elizabeth to William and Catherine, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. • Hillsborough Castle is the British royal family’s home in Northern Ireland, an 18th-century country house, purchased by the British government in 1922. It’s also the official residence of that country’s Secretary of State.

Queen Victoria gifted it to her mother in 1840. The estate has been called such since Queen Victoria had breakfast there in 1875, and commented on the “immense number of little frogs,” which she found “quite disgusting.” The estate is located in a low-lying, marshy area near the River Thames where these amphibians are found in abundance. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had their wedding reception at Frogmore House, and have recently moved into Frogmore Cottage, a 10-bedroom home on the grounds. • Scotland is home to two royal residences, Balmoral Castle and the Palace of Holyrood House. If the Queen is on an official visit, she stays at Holyrood, while Balmoral is a private residence. Balmoral Castle, located in Aberdeenshire, was a gift to Queen Victoria from her husband Prince Albert in 1852. An older castle was demolished because it was too small, and the current castle was completed in 1856. It’s a working farm of about 50,000 acres (20,000 ha), with herds of deer, cattle, and ponies, along with a private golf course and 150 buildings. The grounds are also home to the Royal Lochnagar Single Malt whiskey distillery. A seven-bedroom stone house, Craigowan Lodge, a mile from the main castle, was a retreat for Charles and Diana during their marriage. Another residence on the property, Birkhall, dating to 1715, is the summer retreat for Charles and Camilla. • Holyrood House got its start as an Edinburgh monastery in 1128. James IV rebuilt it as a palace in 1501 for his bride, the sister of Henry VIII. Mary, Queen of Scots also spent the majority of her life there.

COUCH THEATER -- DVD PREVIEWS By Amy Anderson
PHOTO: Justice Smith in “Pokemon: Detective Pikachu” Photo Credit: Warner Bros.
When his son Tim (Justice Smith) comes to collect his belongings, he meets Detective Pikachu (voiced by Ryan Reynolds), with exceptional detecting skills but partial amnesia, who used to be his dad’s partner. Tim, unlike anyone else, is able to hear and communicate with Pikachu, and is persuaded to pair up to investigate Harry’s death. I enjoyed the tack taken by director Rob Letterman (“Goosebumps”). It’s weird but not off-putting. Reynolds and Smith are endearing, and it’s funny and enjoyable for all age groups. “The Curse of La Llorona” (R) -- The legend of La Llorona has it that a woman, blinded by rage and jealousy, drowned her sons in a river. She is condemned to walk the earth for eternity until she finds the bodies of her sons, and she’ll snatch up every kid she can find in the process. Flash to 1970s Los Angeles, and a social worker (Linda Cardellini) “rescues” the children of a deranged mother. The children are subsequently drowned by La Llorona. The mother sics the weeping spirit on the social worker, who has two young kids of her own. She calls in Father Perez (Tony Amendola, also seen in “Annabelle” of “The Conjuring” universe) to help, and the group must battle every jump scare and pool of water in sight.
“Poms” (PG-13) -- Bringing new meaning to the word “squad,” “Poms” follows Martha (Diane Keaton), a retired teacher with a terminal cancer who moves into an “active” retirement community filled with quirky personalities, a ton of amenities and a shocking lack of freedom. Turns out residents must participate in an extracurricular activity vetted by a mean-girls (now, meanold-ladies) type committee. Martha opts to create a cheerleading squad and recruits five other free thinkers, including her adorably rebellious neighbor Sheryl (Jacki Weaver). They set out to prove -- with warmth, humor and powerful bonds of friendship -- that a sextet of 60- and 70-somethings still got it. Although “Poms” took “Tolkien” (PG-13) -- Many know J.R.R. Tolksome knocks for pandering to the AARP set, I ien as one of the most creative minds of our thought it a cute movie showing a vibrant and time, breathing life into fanciful and fearsome fun ride through later life. creatures that have captured the imaginations of countless men, women and children since “The “Pokemon: Detective Pikachu” (PG) -- In Ryme Hobbit” was published in 1937.

Red in the Face - Rosacea
Reddening of the face, that is not simply blushing or hot flashes, is many times Rosacea. Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition of the face. It can look like small red, pus-filled pustules, or bumps, and/or with tiny vessels becoming dilated and obvious at the surface of the skin, especially the face (referred to as telangiectasia). Although medicine does not seem to clearly define the causes, there are many known contributors. It is a vascular issue, that much is known. The question should be why? It is said that certain environmental and/or nutritional factors creates a susceptibility, followed by a degeneration of the dermal layer of the skin, followed by small blood vessel dilation (flushing), followed by vascular breakdown (telangiectasia) resulting in leaking of inflammatory substances, resulting in inflammation and the characteristic reddening of the cheeks. So what are the contributing factors that make one susceptible, and secondly, what causes the deterioration of skin and vascular integrity? “Susceptibility” is typically broken down into: endocrine (hormonal) imbalance, poor circulation, excess heat exposure (both internally and externally), reactions to medications, surgery, or cancer treatments, poor liver health, adrenal insufficiency, venous hypertension, and several rare congenital defects. Good nutrition and acupuncture can substantially resolve most of these health issues.
www.tidbitscda.com
The next question is, what negatively influences vascular and tissue integrity? Tissue and vascular integrity is affected by nutrition. B Vitamins are a necessary component in healthy cell replication and in inflammation. Caution is warranted here because most B Vitamins on the market are synthetic and therefore not as functional for healing. Vitamin C (the whole complex of Vitamin C, not just ascorbic acid or calcium ascorbate components) is necessary for healthy collagen formation. Vitamins A and E are also essential for healthy skin and vascular walls, as well as immunity. These too must be in a food form and not their synthetic or fractionated form (beta carotene, vitamin A acetate or palmitate, and d-alpha-tocopherol are not whole food forms). Improving circulation is a must as well. Viscous blood, caused by high glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, and other components requires more pressure to push it through the vessels. If the vessels are weak to start with, spider veins occur – whether it is in the face (telangiectasia) or the rest of the body. Reducing sugar consumption and replacing harmful fats such as margarine (anything in a “tub”), and hydrogenated fats with good fats such as butter, coconut oil or olive oil, can help substantially in the body’s ability to repair skin and vessels. These changes in and of themselves will go a long way in resolving a red face. Expect it to take several months to resolve. However, don’t forget that resolution of any health issue contributing to Rosacea (such as with acupuncture and expert nutritional advice), can improve the health of the body as well as the health of the face.

Burn Pits and Other Airborne Hazards
Were you deployed in Desert Storm and Desert Shield to a location where there were airborne environmental contaminants, such as burn pit smoke, sand, dust and particles, and oil-well fire smoke? Do you suffer from any breathing problems that haven’t been diagnosed? Have you signed up for the Airborne Hazards and Open Burn Pit Registry? That registry is to help the Department of Veterans Affairs (and you) be aware of health conditions that might be related to those burn pits and other airborne hazards. As a first step, go online to the VA.gov website and search for Airborne Hazards and Open Burn Pit Registry. You’ll see the list of countries, such as Iraq and Afghanistan, where service personnel were deployed. If you served on or after Aug. 2, 1990 in any of the listed countries, or in Afghanistan or Djibouti on or after Sept. 11, 2001, you may be eligible. If so, and if you sign up on the registry, you will get a free medical workup. So far, nearly 180,000 veterans have enrolled. Even if you have no physical symptoms, sign up anyway. If you’re already signed up with VA health care, ask your primary-care provider to schedule an evaluation or call the environmental health coordinator at the closest VA facility. If you enroll in the registry and it says you’re not eligible, work to have it corrected, as some records might be missing or inaccurate. Request an eligibility review. If you have symptoms that medical providers haven’t been able to diagnose, push for your in-person, multiple-day specialty exam at the War Related Illness and Injury Study Center in New Jersey. The VA recently opened the Airborne Hazards and Burn Pits Center of Excellence there to do research into these health issues.
Just How Hot Can a Hot Car Get? DEAR PAW’S CORNER: This morning, I was walking into the drugstore when I heard a small dog frantically barking from a nearby car. I looked in the window and saw a toy poodle rushing back and forth along the back seat, putting her paws on the closed windows and barking at everyone passing by. The car was not running, so no air conditioning, though it was parked in a shady spot. I rushed inside the store and called for the manager, who contacted the police. They immediately opened the car and rescued the little dog, who was panting heavily. Please let your readers know that leaving your pet inside a locked car, even in the shade, can be a death sentence! -- Relieved Pet Mom in Maine DEAR RELIEVED: I’m glad this story had a happy ending! Folks, even on a pleasant day with temperatures in the mid-70s, the interior of a car can heat up to life-threatening levels of more than 100 F. That’s even on a cloudy day, or when parked in a shady spot. Even if you leave your pet inside a locked, running car with the air conditioning on, that’s still not acceptable. Your pet will be very anxious without you present, and anything might happen while you’re away. If you want to take your pet with you, make sure the places you go will welcome pets inside. (Your pet should be well-trained and responsive to your commands, and not aggressive to other dogs.) Or, have a friend come along and sit in the running car with your dog or walk them in a nearby grassy area or park while you shop. Otherwise, leave pets at home. The risk is not worth it.

Q&A with Susan Ashley, MD
Pillars of Anti-Aging, Part 2
Last week we discussed the pillars of anti-aging, how to stay healthy and reduce the chronic diseases associated with aging. This included a healthy diet, regular exercise, and reducing chronic stress. The last 2 pillars are discussed below: Pillar 4: Taking the right balance of minerals, vitamins and nutrients within the body, which is fuel for the body to work correctly. It is becoming increasingly difficult to get adequate amoutns of nutrients in our diet due to a busy schedule and modern methods of crop harvesting and manufacturing. Additionally, as we age we absorb less nutrients from our diet. I recommend supplements as we age, especially after age 50, including a good multivitamin and minerals. We also need vt D - if you can only afford one vitamin, this should be it - optimal levels are between 70-90. Take an omega 3 that is pure, without mercury and toxins - this will help reduce heart attacks and helps to lower inflammation. I also take numerous anti-oxidants including resveratrol and CoQ10, and turmeric, MSM, and glucosamine for joint support, and a probiotic at night.
www.tidbitscda.com
All of these helps to provide the elements the organs need, and to protect against free radicals caused by bad food choices, unhealthy lifestyles, and a polluted environment. Pillar 5: Maintain hormone balance. After age 35 our hormones begin to decline, becoming unbalanced. A man’s testosterone declines, and when women go thru menopause our hormones crash, causing hot flashes, brain fog, irritability, weight gain and insomnia. Other hormones that are affected are thyroid functioning which declines, and cortisol - the stress hormone. Low cortisol can cause chronic fatigue and is very common in our society. DHEA, an anti-aging hormone, declines, as does growth hormone, or HGH. HGH declines beginning at age 25, and leads to fat accumulation, less muscle mass, saggy skin, lower energy and motivation, and increased inflammation and disease. It is expensive in the US - appr. 3000 - 5000/month. If you want HGH, consider reputable HGH clinics in Mexico - a year of growth hormone there cost the same as one month here. Insulin is a hormone that increases as we age, and also causes fat accumulation, and explains why we cannot eat as many carbs as we age - we gain too much weight. Melatonin declines, and we need to take nightly as it is a strong anti-oxidant. Replenishing deficiencies in hormones will provide the body with the ability to maintain its regenerative powers. In short, finding a balanced approach to keep inflammation and stress in check, get enough sleep, follow a balanced healthy diet, keep physically active, and adding vitamins, minerals and hormones help keep our bodies working at optimum levels, leading to rejuvenation and regeneration that will help prevent many diseases.

Free Scam Alert Map
The scammers sure have been busy. Is there no end to their creativity? The AARP is helping us to fight back, however, with its Fraud Watch Network’s free Scam Tracking Map. You’ll find the map on the AARP website (aarp.org) when you put “scam tracking map” in the search box. Be sure to click on the widest possible search area, 200 miles, after you enter your ZIP code. Click first on AARP user-submitted reports. You’ll see colored dots where scams have occurred. Click on one and scroll down to see the details. After you view those reports, go back and click on Law Enforcement Alerts, with authorities warning about scams near you. The wide variety of scams is surprising. One involved an alleged refund where the thieves wanted to deposit the refund directly into the victim’s checking account. Once they gained access, they emptied the account. Another scam had thieves trying to enter a house by pretending to be from a cable company and needing to fix some wires. The homeowner was suspicious, and rightly so. Fear is a big factor with threats of arrest. One threatened people with arrest if they didn’t give their Medicare number over the phone to buy merchandise. Another threatened arrest for missing jury duty if a fine wasn’t paid immediately. Others involve the IRS. If you’re generally safety conscious and not likely to fall for a scam, checking the map once a month so should be enough. But if you’re not sure (and truthfully, a lot of the scams are hard to identify as such), you might want to consider signing up for the AARP’s bi-weekly Watchdog Alerts. If you’re ever in doubt after receiving a suspicious call, call the police. They want to know.
“Health care is a subject that remains front and center in so many of our national conversations and debates… It continues to poll as a top concern among the American public. …One of those issues is something that is very close to my heart: Alzheimer’s disease. Like so many Americans, I have felt the impacts of this disease. I lost both of my parents to Alzheimer’s, and our family helped to care for them. So I understand the difficulties that caregivers and loved ones face as they try to figure out this difficult challenge. This disease is devastating, and there is no book or a magic formula for how to face it. But I feel strongly that we can do more to ease the pain of those who suffer from Alzheimer’s, to help their caregivers, and most importantly, to find a cure. The statistics surrounding Alzheimer’s are staggering. More than five million Americans are living with the disease, and it’s estimated that as many as 16 million will have it in 2050 without some kind of medical breakthroughs. The cost of caring for those with Alzheimer’s and other dementias is also notable: an estimated $277 billion in 2018, increasing to $1.1 trillion by 2050. Not to mention the emotional costs. These numbers make it clear that we have some work to do… I so wish my parents had the opportunity to be involved in decisions regarding their own care, but it’s my hope that through early assessment and diagnosis, we can give others that opportunity… At the same time, it’s essential that we continue working toward a cure. As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I’ve worked with Labor-Health and Human Services Subcommittee Chairman Roy Blunt, R-Mo., and others to provide resources for critical Alzheimer’s research. With the passage of last year’s government funding bill, we have surpassed the $2 billion milestone when it comes to Alzheimer’s research, providing the National Institutes of Health the funding it needs to continue its work and to help support the work of others. It’s easy to get discouraged when you hear about a once-promising clinical trial not moving forward, when you learn another person you know has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, or when a cure may seem so far away. But observing the research being done at NIH and other institutions across the county, seeing the hope and determination in the eyes of those fighting back, and witnessing the bipartisan commitment to tackling this disease—that’s all proof that we are making progress…” Please call for a tour of our “HOMES,” for truly they are… And, if you would like to join our circle of caregivers in one of our homes, please contact Linda at 208-755-3637 or linda@lodgeliving.net. We even have gorgeous onsite studio apartments which include meals and all utilities as a part of our employment package.
