Each blink lasts less than 1/10th of a second, and takes place about 25,000 times a day, about every 12 to 15 seconds. A person blinks more when talking, but less when reading or staring at a computer screen. Because we blink less often during screen time, that’s what causes our eyes to feel tired. Blinking keeps our eyes lubricated as well as clearing the eye of foreign particles. • While our fingerprints have 40 distinctive characteristics, the iris, the colored part of the eye, has 256. For this reason eye scans are gaining widespread use for security purposes. • One of the most common eye injuries is a result of poking the eyeball with a mascara wand!

* It was French-German physician, philosopher and humanitarian Albert Schweitzer who made the following sage observation: “In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.”

* You might be surprised to learn that famed lover and heartbreaker Casanova eventually became a librarian. * In parts of Illinois, it was once illegal to put a cake in a cookie jar.

MORTGAGE FINANCING NEEDS

* If you’ve ever yelled out a warning in panic -- “Stop!,” “Run!,” “Don’t!” -- you’ve used a monepic sentence; that is, one that is complete with just a single word. Of course, at the time you probably weren’t concerned about the grammatical nature of your utterance.

Instant Chill Want to quickly cool a beer, soda or bottle of wine? Wrap a soaking wet paper towel around the can or bottle, and set it in the freezer for 20 minutes. Enjoy an icy cold beverage!

* It’s been reported that the country’s first pizza parlor was in New York City -- naturally. It opened in 1885, but barely got by. In 1895, it was sold for a mere $200 -- small change even in those times.

Waffled Cake For an almost-instant cakey treat, stir up your favorite boxed cake mix; add it to a waffle iron preheated to medium; and cook until puffed and cooked through, five to seven minutes. Add some cream cheese frosting or powdered sugar and serve!

* The bearded vulture is the only known animal whose diet is made up almost exclusively of bone.

Glass bakeware conducts and retains heat better than metal, so oven temperatures should be reduced by 25 degrees whenever using glass in the oven. Proofing Chamber To create the perfect environment for bread dough to rise (a warm spot away from any drafts), use the clothes dryer! On the high setting, tumble a clean bath towel for two to 30 minutes. Place the towel in the bottom of the dryer and the bowl of bread dough on top of the towel to steady it. Shut the dryer door to allow dough to rise. Put up a sign or a piece of tape across the door, just in case someone should decide it’s the perfect time to do a little laundry.

The Neatest Little Paper Ever Read

Published by: AdVenture Media

I have some good news for you: Season eight episodes of this critically acclaimed British TV series are now airing on public television stations. Why the delay? Apparently, the Acorn TV network had acquired exclusive rights to air “Doc Martin,” which meant that PBS couldn’t any longer. However, the two entities have reached an agreement. New episodes will air first on Acorn, a subscription service that streams primarily British content, and later will be available on PBS stations. While the upcoming ninth -- and final -- season of “Doc Martin” won’t be filmed until this summer, it will air on Acorn later in 2019 and then subsequently on PBS. For more information on how to view all the shows and miniseries available on Acorn, visit its website at https://Acorn.tv. *** Has Jussie Smollett been fired from his role on “Empire” now that his claims about being attacked in a hate crime are being 2 questioned?

The former actress (“Suits”) turned Duchess of Sussex recently had a baby shower with friends in New York, but she has not revealed her baby’s gender. Back in England, she told one little girl who asked that it was a surprise and that even Meghan Markle she and Harry don’t know. Their baby is due in late April. *** I’m a follower of “Doc Martin” and miss not seeing any new episodes on PBS. Can you please advise me if this will be renewed? It was a ver y well-performed series, and the characters were interesting and wellportrayed. PBS is the only station that represents good television with the finest actors. -- E.R.

“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.” Notwithstanding Octomom, there’s a reason why women have only one child at a time. And there’s a reason why nature built in a healthy nine months between them. Having two dogs in the house can be richly rewarding -- if it’s done right. Going from no dogs to two dogs in one fell swoop is not doing it right. Bringing a dog into your house is a big responsibility. You have a new personality to get to know. You have things to learn about each other, things to teach each other, and you need time to bond. $99This is a one-on-one process. Having two dogs doesn’t change that. It just means you’ll have to devote more time in each day to doing it -- twice as much time. Dogs, like people, are individuals. They have their own personalities, their own likes and dislikes, their own way of relating, their own needs. Having two dogs doesn’t mean having two dogs that are exactly the same. That’s impossible. One of the problems that arise from getting more than one dog at the same time boils down to pecking order. Dogs are pack animals. It is the dog owner’s job to establish him or herself as the alpha. But many people fail to realize this or don’t know how to accomplish it. And if the dog owner doesn’t step up, one of the dogs will. Someone has to be the leader of the pack. It is much easier for you, the dog owner, to secure that role if you only have to convince one dog at a time. Another problem that comes with getting two dogs at once is fear-aggression. One of the dogs will inevitably develop a shy personality. When coupled with his more assertive, dominant “friend,” he’ll tend to withdraw. This, in turn, leads to a lesser degree of socialization for the shy dog,

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margenau

High Anxiety and Social Security Maximizing Madness My wife used to thank me, with her tongue firmly planted in her cheek, for never being rich. She would say, “It seems to me that the more money people have, the more they worry about it.” And gosh, did those words of wisdom come home to me these past couple of weeks, following yet another column I wrote about the maximizing Social Security madness. My inbox has been crammed with hundreds of emails from frantic seniors who are worried sick they might make a decision about when to take their Social Security benefits that will result in them possibly leaving a few bucks on the table. Of course, I certainly understand that having more money is better than not having enough. But I can’t tell you how many married seniors have emailed lately telling me that they have their home paid off, they have multiple cars and vacation homes -- and many of them have close to, or even more than, a million dollars in investments. And they are losing sleep because they can’t decide when to start their Social Security benefits. They wonder if option A, in which they will get let’s say $60,000 in combined benefits per year starting at an early age, is better than option B, in which they will get maybe $72,000 in annual benefits starting at a later age. I just want to tell these people to chill out and relax! No matter which way they go, they are financially light-years ahead of the average Social Security beneficiary who is trying to decide if she should use this month’s Social Security check to pay her past-due medical bills or to buy groceries! Also, to those folks who ask me to help them decide what to do, I tell them they are talking to the wrong person. I am NOT a financial planner. I am just an old, retired Social Security guy who knows Social Security rules inside and out. So, I can tell them how the rules work. But I can’t tell them what to do. And if you need further proof that I am the wrong guy to ask for financial advice, consider this: my wife and I started our reduced Social Security benefits at age 62. Any financial planner would have told us we were nuts. The prevailing financial wisdom is to delay taking your benefits for as long as possible in order to get a higher monthly rate. But guess what? We don’t care. For more than 12 years now, we have been having way too much fun spending our reduced retirement benefits. And if we come out on the short end of the Social Security stick in the long run ... well again, so what? We couldn’t care less. But judging from my emails, my wife and I are in the minority. These emails from already wellto-do seniors just ooze financial fear and high anxiety. Again, to them, my message is simple: Chill out, make a decision and enjoy the rest of your life. So, I will use the rest of today’s column to answer questions from folks who are simply confused about the rules. And I will start with this summary: People turning 66 before Jan. 2, 2020 can use a legal loophole that allows them to file for spousal benefits on a husband’s or wife’s Social

as a widow after you die. So, once she is 66, she can file for spousal benefits on your account. She will get $1,222 per month. At age 70, she can then file for her own retirement benefit. With the 32 percent bonus, she should get about $1,975 per month. Then, assuming you die before she does, she will keep getting her $1,975 retirement benefit, and she will get an additional $469 in widows benefits to take her up to your $2,444 level.

M.D.

Confusion Over Women’s Heart Attack Symptoms

ANSWER: There are two answers to this question. The first comes from clinical research, and a very large trial showed that nut and popcorn consumption tended to protect against diverticulitis and diverticular bleeding. This may be due to the high fiber content, recommended in people with diverticula. So most experts allow their patients with diverticulosis to eat nuts and Ad Proof: seeds, including chia seeds.

Recently, I inherited a set of dinner ware that is a ser vice for eight. The enclosed mark is on each piece. The dishes are white with a pink band on the border and trimmed in gold. The set is in excellent condition. Several ser ving pieces are missing, and I haven’t had any luck finding them in antiques shops. Do you have any advice on how to find the missing dishes? Also, please provide information on the vintage and value of my set. by Anne McCollam

Sewing Machine Relies on Foot Power Q:

This foot-powered (treadle) sewing machine is called “The Wanamaker.” It was given to my mother in the early 1900s and is in good working condition. It includes the original wood cabinet and case. The treadle is cast iron, and there are storage drawers on either side. There is a leaf that opens up to provide more workspace. I have been unable to find any serial numbers on the machine or the cabinet. Any information regarding the histor y and value, if any, will be ver y much appreciated.

Your dinnerware was made by W. S. George Pottery Company. In 1904, William Shaw George Pottery Company George purchased made dinnerware, hotel the controlling interware and decorative ware. est in the East Palestine Pottery Company that was located in East Palestine, Ohio. Four years later, he changed the name to W. S. George Pottery Company. It specialized in semi-porcelain dinnerware, hotel ware and decorative ware. Much of its dinnerware was made in specific shapes and decorated with different patterns. The names of the shapes were included with the mark, and collectors mistakenly assume “Derwood” to be the pattern name. “Derwood” is the name of the shape of your dishes and was made from 1911 till the 1950s. “Rhapsody” is the name of the pattern and was in production from 1945 to 1949. Search the internet for one of the matching companies to find the missing dishes. Your set of dinnerware would probably be worth $125 to $225.

John Wanamaker opened his first store in Philadelphia in the late 1800s.

Wanamaker sewing machines were sold by John Wanamaker and Co. John Wanamaker opened his store in the late 1800s in Philadelphia. He was an innovative and successful businessman who was guided by his four principles: a single price tag, a guarantee, cash payment for his products and a cash refund. Before he initiated his single price tag, customers were expected to haggle over the price. Customers were happy with the straightforward method, and Wanamaker was rewarded with growing sales. Wanamaker expanded his store to include women’s clothing, house wares and dry goods. He was also the first to offer white sales. He promoted his department store to be a one-stop shop. Eventually, he opened stores in New York and London and Paris. Your sewing machine with an oak cabinet was made in the early 1900s and would probably be worth $100 to $225.
