We all have a friend that only gets called by their nickname, and it sounds weird to even say their real name. A lot of us get these cute handles when we’re youngsters, and in many cases we’re still stuck with them into our adult lives. If you have auburn hair, they’ll call you Red. If you’re built like a tank, they’ll call you Tiny or Moose. Most of us can relate to being called something other than our real names, whether we like it or not. Read on for examples of some you’re likely to recognize.

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margenau

Voluntary Retirement and Social Security Disability Q:

I have a friend who has various disabilities. She has hearing problems, chronic arthritis, high blood pressure, kidney trouble and other issues. You name it, this poor woman has had it! Yet despite her medical conditions, she has been working most of her life. She plans to retire when she turns 60 in two months and then file for Social Security disability benefits. I have several concerns and questions. Can she file for disability even though she is voluntarily leaving her job? If so, can she file ahead of time so her benefits are waiting for her when she retires? If her disability claim is denied, will she be eligible for regular Social Security when she is 62? Also, will the pension she will get from her employer offset any Social Security benefits she might be due?

The answers to your specific questions are Yes, No, Yes and No. But all those answers need to be qualified, so I guess I should elaborate. The fact that she will be simply retiring from her job (as opposed to leaving for strictly medical reasons) does not really impact her potential eligibility for Social Security disability benefits. The only thing that matters is whether or not she meets the legal definition of disability for Social Security purposes. And that definition essentially says this: You qualify for Social Security disability benefits if you have a medical condition that is expected to last at least a year and that prevents you from working. In other words, the inability to work (not just the impairment itself) is the key to qualifying for benefits. Even though your friend “voluntarily” left her job, my hunch is all those medical problems she has certainly helped push her out the door. It may very well be that each separate condition may not be severe enough on its own to make it to qualify for benefits. But the combination of all her impairments may push her over the line. And something she has going in her favor is her age. Disability evaluators might say that a younger person with conditions similar to hers could continue to work, or be trained to do a less difficult job. But a 60-year-old woman will find it easier to qualify for benefits. My educated guess is that her claim will be approved. Having said all that, your friend cannot file for Social Security disability ahead of time. The reason why gets back to that basic definition of disability. Again, the inability to work is the key to qualifying for benefits. If she filed tomorrow, for example, her claim would be immediately denied because she is still working. According to Social Security law, if you’re working (especially full-time), you’re simply not disabled -- no matter how many medical problems you have. When your friend retires, she should make plans to file for Social Security disability benefits the very next day. If her disability claim is approved, she will start getting a monthly benefit that equals her full retirement rate. That’s essentially what a disability benefit is: your full, age 66 retirement benefit. It’s just paid at an earlier age -- in your friend’s case, at age 60. If her claim is denied, she should appeal that decision. That’s simply a matter of filling out a few forms. But if even her appeals are denied, then she certainly can file for Social Security retirement

benefits later on. She would just have to decide if you are old. And you will officially turn “old” when you she wants to wait until age 66 to get full retirement benefits, or file anytime after age 62 and get reduced reach age 66. At that point, you will be automatically switched from the disability program to the retireretirement benefits. Finally, the pension she gets from her em- ment program. But because -- as mentioned in the anployer will have no impact on her Social Security swer to the first question -- a disability benefit equals -- whether she gets disability benefits or retirement an age 66 retirement benefit, your payment amount Please review carefully.

I can make a pretty good guess. There is a law that says the combination of your worker’s compensation payments and your Social Security disability checks cannot exceed 80 percent of your average monthly wage back when you were working. If the two benefits exceed that rate, one or the other has to be reduced. Which benefit gets offset varies from state to state. It sounds like in your state, it is the Social Security disability check that gets cut. The reason for that offset law should be pretty obvious. If a person could get more money from various disability programs than he or she was getting in salary, what would be the incentive to keep working? * * *

You are already getting “real Social Se curity.” Social Security disability benefits are as real as Social Security retirement benefits. The only difference is that one is paid because you have some medical problems. And the other is paid because

Family Itching to be Rid of Pinworms DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Two of my children, a boy in the second grade and a girl in kindergarten, have been scratching their behinds for a week. I mentioned this to my neighbor, and she said they probably have pinworms. That made me sick to my stomach. How do I know for sure? If they have them, where did they come from? I have two other children. Should they, my husband and I also be treated? I am really upset. -- A.D.

Scotch tape, fixed to a tongue depressor or a similar object and pressed against the skin near the anus, traps eggs, which the doctor can see with a microscope. The tape is fixed to the depressor with the sticky side on the outside. The ends of the tape are folded over to adhere to the two sides of the depressor. Mebendazole and albendazole do a good job in getting rid of the worms. All family members should be treated. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My doctor has me on a calcium tablet because I’m nearing the osteoporosis line. I’m 63 and never have taken any kind of medicine. I hate to break my record.

to train away instincts. It’s like calling a dog trainer and asking him to train your dog to stop sniffing. Part of responsible dog ownership is training. With commitment, perseverance and knowhow, we can train our dogs to respond every time to commands like “sit” and “stay” and “here.” That would help in situations like this one, as long as we’re physically present and giving the dog our full attention. But what about when we aren’t around? What about when we’re off running errands or washing dishes in the kitchen or running to answering a phone call or taking a quick shower? The other part of responsible dog ownership is prevention. This is the area of leashes and fences and securing the dog in the house.

The combination of training and prevention ANSWER: You can get enough calcium is powerful. It’ll keep our dogs safe and sound under from foods, and it’s as good a way, if not better, of most circumstances.

Learning to Forgive and Forget Q:

A couple of months ago I got into a heated discussion with my daughter-in-law about the right way to discipline and raise kids. At one point she blew up and called me some nasty and hurtful names. I consider myself a successful mother and still believe the points I was making were right. But after the blowup I calmed down and apologized for my actions. However, she stayed angr y and offered no apologies for her rudeness or the things she said to me. Now ever since that ugly moment she has given me the cold shoulder. We have always had a cordial and pleasant relationship and I have always felt close to her and to my grandchildren. Even though my son wants to stay out of it, I feel am being ostracized and excluded from the family’s activities. What can I do to repair this horrible situation? It bothers me constantly.

The longer the situation continues, the more difficult it will be to resolve your disagreements. Every family has its “moments.” However, one occasion is not a valid reason to carry grievances and hostilities to the grave. Your goal is to find a way to heal the wounds, compromise and reconcile. Your son is a key player in pulling things back together. Call him to discuss how to settle your differences, keeping in mind that his first loyalty is to his wife. Tell him you are sorry and stress the importance of rebonding the family. Point out the serious consequences that will result if this rift isn’t soon mended. It would also have a negative effect on the grandchildren. Is a single issue really worth sabotaging your relationships? Even when participants agree to patch things up, it takes time for things to heal. There needs to be forgiveness on both sides before this can be resolved. And it is important to understand that true forgiveness means giving up

Page 13

your justified “right” to get even or hold a grudge for wrongs you have suffered. Have the courage to love. It costs nothing, so why not do what it takes without judging who was right or wrong? Love and forgiveness is your answer! * * *

Our grandson and his fiancee have come to us to discuss their future and seek our advice. Among other things, they have asked how we define love. We’re finding this harder to do than we expected! How would you define it?

In its initial stages, physical attraction is usually the beginning of what is perceived as “love.” If the attraction is mutual they will naturally want to spend more time together. Every individual has his or her own values and needs, and when they find a partner who shares the same values and who can meet those needs, a relationship develops that can grow into romance and possibly to marriage. After marriage and once honeymoon phase is over -- and it will end -- they will find themselves in the reality stage where they find they are really beginning to know each other on a new level. Ideally, their love will strengthen through a mutual desire to make it grow. It is important to understand that this is achieved only with a commitment by both partners. Lasting and deepening love requiries constant nurturing to keep it refreshed, healthy and growing. While we were not created to live alone as isolated individuals, living together in harmony is something that needs to be worked at daily. Mutual respect requires compromise and commitment by both partners. Love can never be totally defined or explained, but when we have worked to achieve the real thing we are truly blessed!

It is in perfect condition. I paid $28 for it a few years ago at a shop that sells a lot of Sandwich glass. Is my dish worth more than I paid for it?

The Sandwich Manufacturing Company made Sandwich glass. It was founded in 1824 by Deming Jarves in Sandwich, Mass. The name was changed to Boston and Sandwich Glass Company in 1826. It made pressed glass, blown three-mold and free-blown glass in both color and clear. It closed in 1888. Similar Sandwich dishes can be seen selling in the range of $45 to $50. * * *

Sandwich Glass

When I was a child, my great-aunt gave me her porcelain doll. She received it around 1900, and it is still in excellent condition. Marked on the back of the porcelain head are the words “Simon and Halbig -- 550.” The doll has a composition body, ball-jointed limbs, long dark hair, brown sleepy eyes and an open mouth. Her clothes are the originals. Anything you can tell me about my doll would be appreciated.

cornucopia horn shape, and there are handles on each side. I paid $5 for it and would like to know if it has increased in value.

Your vase was made by Abingdon Pot tery in Abingdon, Ill. The style was inspired by art deco designs. The factory began in 1908 and made porcelain-plumbing fixtures. It introduced an art pottery line in 1934. In 1947, Briggs Manufacturing Company took over operations, and by 1950, the art pottery line was discontinued. Your cornucopia/horn of plenty vase was made around 1940 and today would probably be worth $25 to $35.

The Abingdon Pottery company was formed in 1908.
