Muscle Cramps Drinking a small volume of pickle juice relieves muscle cramps within seconds of ingestion -- something for which there’s lots of anecdotal evidence.

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

by Mary Hunt

By Samantha Weaver

Sixteen Surprising Reasons to Stop Throwing Out Pickle Juice Everyday It was a weird request. My friend, Mary CHEAPSKATE Ann, asked if she could borrow some pickle

 It was 20th-century American writer, pub-lisher, artist and philosopher Elbert Hubbard who made the following sage observation: “Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped.”

 According to historical reports, in 1877 snakes fell from the sky in Memphis, Tennessee.

juice. Huh?by Who keeps Mary Hunt pickle juice? The purpose of pickle juice is to keep the pickles fresh and flavorful; so, when the pickles are gone, out goes the juice, right? Whoa! That’s a practice that makes Mary Ann go ballistic. Mary Ann is famous for her potato salad. She makes 10 pounds at a time, and it disappears faster than homemade ice cream on a hot summer day. Her secret (which she confides to only a chosen few) is sweet pickle juice. Not pickles, not relish -- only the juice. And lots of it. So, I wondered if there might be other uses for the briny stuff. A quick search through the multiple thousands of tips readers have sent to me over the years, plus research online came up amazingly positive! I had no idea that pickle juice had so many health benefits or could be used in so many ways around the kitchen! Look at this!

 When the bubonic plague, more commonly known as the Black Death, was at its peak in Europe in the 14th century, a wide variety of remedies was prescribed, including smoking tobacco, bringing spiders into the household, inhaling the stench from a latrine, sitting between two large fires, drinking red wine in which new steel had been cooled, and bathing in goat urine.  Successful inventor and businessman Thomas Alva Edison received only three months of formal education, at a public school in Michigan.  The first photograph of a United States citizen was taken in 1839. The subject was Samuel F.B. Morse, a painter who also happened to be the inventor of a single-wire telegraph system and developer of the Morse Code.

Heartburn Just a few sips of pickle juice can quickly soothe annoying heartburn. Pickle juice seems to have the similar health effects as straight vinegar. Hydration It’s mandatory to stay hydrated, especially while exercising. Hard workouts for longer periods of time, especially in the heat, can become problematic because sweating quickly depletes sodium (electrolytes) and potassium. Pickle juice is loaded with both. Sipping pickle juice after a hard workout will help you recover normal electrolyte levels more quickly. Weight Loss Pickle juice contains lots of vinegar. There is credible evidence to support the theory that consuming a little bit of vinegar every day may help you lose weight. According to a Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry study, “After 12 weeks, study participants who had consumed either about 1/2 ounce or 1 ounce of vinegar daily had lost more weight and fat than those who hadn’t consumed any vinegar.” Control Blood Sugar “A study published in the Journal of Diabetes Research showed the effects of consuming a small serving of vinegar before a meal. The vinegar helped regulate blood sugar levels after the meal in people with type 2 diabetes,” according to Healthline.

Real Hope for Back Pain Sufferers Real Hope for Back Pain in the Coachella Valley Sufferers in the Coachella Valley PAID AVERTISEMENT

Non-Surgical Painless Treatment May Eliminate or Dramatically Reduce Your Pain Caused by Bulging Herniated or Squashed Discs. ... No Surgery ... No Injections ... No Painful Treatments

World’s 1st “FDA Approved” Non-Surgical DeepTissue Laser Treatment pire Spine Center and their program versus surgery. I now have my life back and am again enjoying my retirement. -- David D

Hello, I’m Dr. Robert S. Krage, D.C. Are you in pain? Have you tried eveything to alleviate your pain without success? Are you contemplating surgery? Tried injections? Had surgery but are still in pain? In many cases the operations are necessary for proper health and recovery from an injury. However, I have seen hundreds of patients who received operations they did not need and are still in ridiculous pain. Inland Empire Spine and Disc now offers a modern-day method of pain relief that is proven to be an effective alternative to surgery. ... simply the best for spine and disc -- bar none.

Surgeon Turns Believer

Dr. Robert Murrow, a well known, trusted orthopedic surgeon who had performed over 15,000 surgeries said, “I was suffering from shoulder pain for six months straight with no relief. I heard about laser treatment and after seeing and hearing many of my patients’ stories, I did more research on the topic and found that the doctors and staff now using the LCT-1000® finally have a tool to help people who think that surgery is their only option. I went to get treated with the LiteCure laser and was amazed that it took away all my pain. After six months of misery, I am happy and relieved to say that I am now pain free.”

Are PILLS & INJECTIONS effective, longterm solutions for pain relief? NO WAY!

Until now, people have masked their pain by frequently taking prescription pain pills or by getting cortisone injections. This type of relief masks the cause, is temporary, and more often can lead to even more pain - or worse yet -- addiction to those drugs! So many people innocently fall into abusing prescription pain pills while initially using them to alleviate their pain. Did you know that prescription medications kill more people every year than do illegal drugs? No one is immune to prescription drug abuse.

Inland Empire Spine and Disc insists on using World-Class LCT-1000® Laser. IT SPEEDS HEALING AND PAIN RELIEF!

effects or risks that may occur with other forms of treatment. In addition, it can often achieve results faster than other treatment modalities. During the treatment the patient feels a deep soothing warmth and pleasant sensation that reassures that the laser is activating cells in the healing process immediately!

“My husband and I were very skeptical that anything could help our injuries from more than 25 years ago. In ten short weeks our lives have been transformed from progressive disability to active enjoyment in our retirement years. Dr. Krage has a genuine desire to see each person get better. His approach includes not only decompression and laser, but also muscle work, vitamins, orthotics, and exercises. We now have hope and are motivated to continue these healthy lifestyle changes. My husband and I are now able to do things we have wanted to do but

didn’t think possible, thanks to Dr. Krage.” -- Joan S.

Wow – all good points. I hadn’t thought of some of those. Anything else?

Pay attention to the panel that is being used, SunPower makes the most advanced and efficient panel available, and they have also been tested in ultrahigh heat so there’s proof they can withstand the hot desert weather. Another big reason is that the electricity produced by SunPower panels is conducted with copper on the back of the panel, not with a metal paste that has simply been screen printed onto the front. Also, if you lease your system or use a SunPower loan, then your panels and financing are both from the same company, which simplifies things as well. Renova Energy is an award-winning local company founded a decade ago that designs and installs commercial and residential solar and advanced battery systems. Solar consultants will answer all your questions and help you decide if solar is right for you - not pressure you into buying a system. Learn more at

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margenau

12 Questions ... 12 Answers I usually devote an entire column to just one subject so that I can thoroughly cover all the nuances. But today I’m going to go for a record. I will see if I can answer a dozen questions in the limited space I have. Obviously, the answers will be short and to the point.

If I wait until 70 to file for Social Security, will my wife’s eventual widow’s benefit include the delayed retirement credits I will earn?

Yes. Her spousal rate while you are alive is based on your age 66 amount. But her widow’s benefit is based on your age 70 rate.

I am almost 65 and still working and covered by my employer’s insurance. Do I need to file for Medicare?

You probably should file for Part A Medicare (hospital insurance) because it’s free. But you won’t need to take Part B Medicare (doctor’s insurance), which usually costs about $140 per month, until you retire and lose your employer’s coverage.

My wife took her Social Security at 62. Will that reduce the widow’s benefit she will get on my record someday?

No. Her widow’s rate is really based on one thing only: her age when you die. Assuming she is 66 or older when that happens, she will get a 100 percent widow’s benefit on your record -- no matter when she took her own Social Security.

Page 11

70 to start your Social Security, you each will get the full benefits you are due. There is something called the “family maximum,” but it sets a limit on benefits payable to Social Security claims involving dependent children.

I am 62 and retired. I wanted to wait until 66 to start my Social Security. But I have a 32-year-old son who with Down syndrome. Can he get benefits on my account now while I wait until 66?

No. You must be signed up for So cial Security before your son can get benefits on your record. Because he would be due an amount equal to 50 percent of your full retirement rate, that might be an incentive for you to file for your Social Security now.

I just paid a whopping tax bill on my Social Security benefits. Can I have taxes withheld from my Social Security checks so I’m not hit with a big bill when I file my tax return?

A: Yes, you can. Call Social Security at 800-772-1213 to set that up.

If I move to Costa Rica, can I get my Social Security checks there?

two months ahead of time.

I am 72 and still working. I have no intention of retiring anytime soon. How long can I delay starting my Social Security to get the maximum benefit?

A: You’re well past the deadline. Once you are older than 70, extra credits are no longer added to your Social Security check. So you are gaining nothing by not filing for Social Security. Do it tomorrow. At least you can claim 6 months’ worth of retroactive benefits.

I am 62 and am ashamed to admit I fathered a child out of wedlock. He is now 6 years old. Will he get any of my Social Security?

A: Yes. He will get an amount equal to 50

percent of your full retirement rate while you are alive, and 75 percent after you die -- until he is 18 years old. * * * If you have a Social Security question, Tom

Margenau has the answer. Contact him at thomas.margenau@comcast.net. To find out more about Tom Margenau and to read past columns and see features from other Creators Syndicate writers and cartoonists, visit the Creators Syndicate website at www.creators.com. COPYRIGHT 2019 CREATORS.COM

Assuming you are a U.S. citizen and are getting your own Social Security benefits, then you can have your checks sent to almost any place in the world. If you are not a U.S. citizen, or if you are getting benefits as a dependent on someone else’s Social Security account, the rules get a little messier. Go to the Social Security website and type in “payments outside the U.S.” in the “Search” box and read the publication that pops up.

Q: Do all Social Security retirement

claims come with the option of taking retroactive benefits?

No. Only claims filed after full retirement age come with that option. And then there is a maximum of six months’ worth of retroactive benefits that can be paid.

Do you recommend filing for benefits online or in person at a Social Security office?

If you have a simple retirement claim, then use the Social Security website. It’s a piece of cake. But if you have a potentially complicated claim (for example, if you want to use a “maximizing” strategy), then do it in person by calling SSA at 800-772-1213 to set up an appointment.

My age 66 benefit is $2,749. My age 70 rate is projected to be $3,628. My wife’s age 66 rate is $2,228. Her age 70 benefit will be $2,940. We both wanted to wait until we are 70 to start our benefits. But someone told us there is a cap on what a married couple can get. What’s the cap?

Medication Doesn’t Stop Vertigo’s Spinning

*** DEAR DR. ROACH: I would like your opinion of taking a vitamin B complex capsule. A friend recommended it, but the dose of one to two capsules a day makes my urine turn bright-yellow. The daily values are from 3,000 to 8,000 percent, and that seems pretty high to me. I don’t enjoy taking it, because it smells and tastes unpleasant, but I’m mostly concerned about getting too much of a “good” thing. -- R.W.

Trikes for Grown-Ups DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: What can you tell me about three-wheeled bicycles? I’m 65 years old and would like to start cycling again but I have some occasional balance problems and sometimes don’t trust myself on a two-wheeler. What can you recommend? --Ready to Ride Dear Ready: Three-wheeled bikes – also known as adult trikes – are a great cycling option for older adults, especially those who have concerns with their balance or stamina. Here’s what you should know, along with some tips to help you shop for one.

Page 13

In addition, adult trikes are also made with a low “step through” design making mounting and dismounting easier; they typically come with wide tires that ensure a smooth ride; have ergonomic handlebars that are easy to reach and grip; and offer oversize seats (some even have backrests) for comfort and support. Other than the frame, the tricycle design uses the same standard components as traditional bikes do, so replacement parts are readily available and repairs are generally easy.

You can also find them on e-bike sites like PedegoElectricBikes.com, ProdecoTech.com and Evelo.com.

TerraTrikes (Terratrike.com) and Catrike (Catrike.com) are two of the biggest U.S. companies that make tadpole-style recumbent trikes (the two wheels are in front). Or check out the Sun Seeker (Sunseeker.bike), which sells several Delta recumbent trikes (two wheels in back) that offer a higher seat level. But be aware that recumbent trikes are much more expensive, typically ranging between $1,000 and $4,000. E-Trikes If you want a boost from time-to-time, electric trikes are a great option too. These trikes are hybrids that have pedals and a battery powered electric motor, so you can exercise when you want, or when you need the aid of a boost, you can let the motor assist you. A great place to find these is at ElectricTrike.com, which offer a variety of options ranging from $1,500 to $3,000.

Each is hand-painted and in excellent condition. Included with the mark are the words “Andrea by Sadek.” We are seniors who want to sell them and would love to know what they are worth. We have researched online and have not been successful. Can you at least guide us with your expert opinion?

Versatile Female Artist Was a Native of Indiana Q:

I bought an antique framed picture, and when I removed the picture, I discovered this watercolor painting behind it. Actually, I purchased it just because I liked the frame. It appears to be an original Maude Kaufman Eggemeyer painting. The overall measurements are approximately 11 inches by 13 inches. Do you know if it is of any value?

Maude Eggemeyer was a well-known Indiana artist. She was born in 1877 in New Castle, Indiana, and died in 1959 in North Carolina. Eggemeyer’s father, William S. Kaufman, was a wellknown architect and influenced his daughter’s art. Eggemeyer studied at Maude K. Eggemeyer was a versitile Earlham Colartist and native of Indiana. lege and the Art Academy of Cincinnati; she worked with the Overbeck sisters, who were also Indiana artists. Eggemeyer was versatile and specialized in painting still lifes, garden scenes and romantic scenes. She produced lithographs, watercolors, oils, prints and sculptures. She married Elmer Eggemeyer, the Richmond, Indiana, postmaster. While living in Richmond, she was part of the Richmond Group Artists. Her paintings can be seen in museums including the Indiana State Museum, Haan Mansion Museum of Art and Richmond Art Museum. Eggemeyer’s watercolor painting of romantic courting couples would probably be worth $125 to $225. *** Enclosed is the mark that is on the bottom of two small bisque figurines I have.

Objects marked “Occupied Japan” were made during the Allied occupation of Japan from Sept. 2, 1945, to April 28, 1952.

OCCUPIED JAPAN Charles and Norman Sadek founded the Charles Sadek Import Co. in 1936 in New Rochelle, New York. They import a huge variety of high-end giftware, dinnerware and kitchenware -- not just from Japan, but around the world. They are still in business today and have showrooms in Atlanta, Dallas, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and New York, according to their website. The name “Andrea” is attributed to Charles’ daughter, Andrea. As an adult, she is committed to the design of new company products. Some objects were only marked “Japan” during the occupation. Collectors are interested only in pieces that have the complete mark, “Occupied Japan.” The value of your figurines would probably be worth $25 to $50. * * *

• On April 15, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln dies from an assassin’s bullet. Shot by John Wilkes Booth at Ford’s Theater in Washington the night before, Lincoln lived for nine hours before succumbing to the severe head wound he sustained. • On April 19, 1876, a Wichita, Kansas, commission votes not to rehire policeman Wyatt Earp after he beats up a candidate for county sheriff. Earp often worked in law enforcement, but his own allegiance to the rule of law was conditional at best. Wyatt was one of the Earp brothers, who gained fame in the shootout at the O.K. Corral in 1881. • On April 20, 1926, inventor Lee de Forest demonstrates Phonofilm (music recorded on motion picture film) to movie studios, but they were not interested in “talking pictures,” believing sound was a passing novelty. • On April 16, 1943, researcher Albert Hofmann, a Swiss chemist, hallucinates after accidentally consuming LSD-25, a synthetic drug he had created. LSD was made illegal in the U.S. in 1965. • On April 21, 1967, General Motors celebrates the manufacture of its 100 millionth American-made car. At the time, GM was the world’s largest automaker. • On April 17, 1970, Apollo 13, the U.S. lunar spacecraft that suffered a severe malfunction on its journey to the moon, safely returns to Earth. Disaster struck 200,000 miles from Earth when an oxygen tank blew up in the spacecraft, disrupting the supply of electricity, light, oxygen and water. Astronaut John Swigert reported to mission control on Earth, “Houston, we’ve had a problem here.” • On April 18, 1983, American runner Joan Benoit wins her second Boston Marathon in the women’s division with a time of 2:22:43. The following year, she won the first-ever women’s marathon at the Summer Games in Los Angeles, becoming the first person to win Boston as well as Olympic gold. (c) 2019 Hearst Communications, Inc.

or the scissors method, with the jumper running toward the bar facing forward, lifting the legs one at a time over bar. Fosbury’s technique, now known as the Fosbury Flop, requires the runner to sprint diagonally toward the bar, then curve and leap backwards.

• Football fans know that when a player fails to catch and hold onto the ball, it’s called a fumble. But how about a fumblerooski? That’s when the football is intentionally placed on the ground by the offense (usually the quarterback), and his teammates try to trick the defense by pretending that the ball carrier is running one direction, while another offensive player picks up the ball and runs in a different direction. The hope is to gain the needed yardage before the opposing team realizes who really has the football. □

Get The Toe Up

Page 15

Many amateurs may struggle hitting high, soft wedge shots around the green due to improper concept. Severely opening the clubface, using a lot of “wrist action” or making a big, aggressive swing are all poor ways for most golfers to play a high lofted shot. The backstroke hides one of the tour players’ top secrets in that they use the wrists, forearms, and set-up to create a “Toe Up” position with the clubhead. By minimizing the lean of the club at address, the clubface can rotate to a toe up position much easier with the hands and arms.

Still, the right arm must gently fold as the left arm makes an active rotation. Coupled with the left wrist staying bent (or cupped) as the wrist hinges, the clubhead can rotate away from the ball. This position can be checked when the clubhead is waist to shoulder high in the backstroke. Think “Toe Up” or vertically align the leading edge. Excessive leaning of the club at address, closing in the clubface, or using the left wrist in a “knuckles down” manner in the backstroke will all tend to make the clubface appear closed in this same area.
