Everyday CHEAPSKATE

by Mary Hunt

By Samantha Weaver

* It was 20th-century American author and journalist Emily Kimbrough who made the following sage observation: “Remember, we all stumble, every one of us. That’s why it’s a comfort to go hand in hand.”

Take the Sag out of That Closet Rod and Other Useful Tips Whether it’s a sagging closet rod, kale down the garbage disposal or ®premium fuel in the gas tank, EC readers are always eager to share their best tips,Hunt tricks and ideas for ways by Mary to save time and money -- and avoid potential headaches! Here are a few such samples:

* The very first drive-thru fast-food restaurant opened in 1948, in Baldwin Park, California. The idea was obviously a success -- by 1990, In-N-Out burger had 60 locations, all in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The private, family-owned chain now has 313 locations across six states.

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

SAG NO MORE. To fix a sagging clothes rod, buy a piece of 1/2-inch galvanized pipe and a piece of 3/4-inch polyvinyl chloride (PVC) piping, both the same length as the rod. You can get these at your local hardware or home improvement center, such as Home Depot or Lowe’s. Remove the sagging rod. Slip the metal pipe inside the PVC pipe to create a new rod, and slide this into the rod brackets. If you are bothered by the printing on the PVC, clean it off with rubbing alcohol. -- Bob

* You probably didn’t know that Little Miss Muffet was a real person. It’s true -- Dr. Thomas Muffet wrote the nursery rhyme for his daughter, Patience. * If you’re fortunate enough to be planning a trip to the Southeast Asian nation of Cambodia -- home to the 12th-century temple complex and UNESCO World Heritage Site Angkor Wat -- keep an eye out for some local comestibles. If you get hungry, you can try out a local delicacy such as deep-fried tarantula. If you’re feeling ill (and particularly daring), try out a medicinal liquor. There’s a popular one that is made by putting live spiders into rice wine.

STICKY, MESSY SAP. A cheap and safe way to remove pine tree sap from your car without damaging the finish is to rub it with a soft cloth soaked with plain 70 percent isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol), which is available at the pharmacy or drug store for a buck or two. -- George

* Those who study such things say that the most widely used word in the world is “okay” -- though the spelling varies widely.

Vol. XIII Issue 30

SUPER CUBE. This is a crazy simple tip, but it works for me. I love ice-cold water and must have it at all times. However, at work the water is just cool, not the icy deliciousness I crave. I solved this issue by taking a bottle of water slightly less than half full and laying it down sideways in the freezer. (We are lucky enough to have two refrigerators in our break room.) Later, I grabbed the frozen half bottle and filled it up with water. Voila! Ice-cold water for several hours. I just keep filling it up until its time to get out another one. Just make sure not to put too much water in the bottle, or when it freezes you won’t be able to fill it with much water. -- Laurel STICK WITH REGULAR. Most gas stations offer unleaded premium for 10 to 12 more cents per gallon more than unleaded regular. Many customers think they’re giving their car some kind of extra care or treat by filling up with what they think is the best. Don’t do it. Virtually all automobiles run just fine on regular unleaded, so unless your owners manual specifically states that your car requires a premium grade of gas with higher octane, save your money and stick with regular. -- David LEVEL PAY. After consulting my yearly budget, what I’ve done with my electricity and heating bills is to pay the same amount each month. Because I live on a fixed income, I send each of those utility providers a flat $100 per month. This means I purposely overpay for heat in the summer when the furnace is not in use and overpay the electric company in the winter when I’m not running my central air conditioning. I’ve been doing this for years. No big bills in the summer for the electric; no big bills in the winter for the heat. This takes the mystery out of my budget and works quite well for me. -- Pam FLIP THE PAINT. Store partially full cans of paint upside down. The paint will form an airtight seal, extending its life. Also, paint a swatch on the label so you can see what color it is when it's dry. -- Ted * * * Mary invites questions, comments and tips

Predicting

Eclipses • The Chinese have recorded solar eclipses since 720 BC, giving us a partial historical record dating back 2,700 years. The Mayans, Sumerians, Egyptians, and Chinese were each able to work out the formula that predicted the next eclipse. Ancient astronomers could predict eclipses even before they understood that the Earth circles the Sun and that the Moon circles the Earth. • Eclipses happen in “family groups” that come at regular, predictable intervals. For ancient astronomers who understood the intervals, predicting the next eclipse would have been a matter of working out the math. It’s called the Saros cycle. When there is an eclipse of the Sun, there will be another eclipse exactly 18 years, 11 and one-third days later. That eclipse will follow a parallel path exactly one-third of the planet away from the first eclipse, starting at sunrise and ending at sunset. If the first eclipse was a total eclipse, the next eclipse will also be total. If the first was a partial eclipse, the following will also be partial. This Saros cycle repeats itself for about 1,300 years before petering out.

• Columbus had with him an astronomical almanac that listed the dates of upcoming celestial events including a lunar eclipse that was to occur on the last day of February. When that day arrived, he admonished the chief by explaining that he worshiped a powerful God who was angered by their refusal to keep the Spaniards fed. Because of their selfishness, God was going to severely punish them with famine, pestilence and disease. Columbus explained that God would give the Jamaican people one final chance by displaying in the heavens a sign of his great displeasure: The bright, full Moon would darken soon after it rose in the evening sky and would turn blood red. If they paid heed to this heavenly sign, they would be spared.

• That evening soon after the Moon rose on the • The 2017 solar eclipse will occur on August horizon, Earth's shadow slowly began to creep 21st and be seen across the entire east-west over it.

Next up for the prolific actress is EPIX cable network’s “Graves.” Juliette has been cast in a recurring role in season two. In the series, Nick Nolte plays President Richard Graves, a former two-term POTUS who embarks on a Don Quixote-like quest to right the wrongs of his administration and reclaim his legacy decades later. In this coming season, President Graves turns inward in search of the man he used to be before he was president. His journey is compounded Juliette Lewis by the arrival of his first grandchild, as well as a new revelation about his son, Jeremy. Graves’ journey coincides with wife Margaret’s (played by the stellar Sela Ward) Senate campaign, as the former first lady attempts to build her own political legacy. Isaiah Miller, the president’s assistant, searches for new direction after taking a bullet for the president in the season one finale. Meanwhile, Graves’ spiritual muse, Samantha (Callie Hernandez), finds a new calling as a singer/ songwriter. And Juliette comes aboard as Bailey Todd, a hard-living, leather-clad, tell-it-like-it-is music manager and producer out of New York who shows up at Samantha’s trailer with the idea that Samantha might have what it takes to be the next big thing. *** I’ve been hearing rumors that “Curb Your Enthusiasm” is returning.

know?

Wow – what else should I

The credit score threshold for solar is pretty reasonable – just a 650 credit score, although if your score is between 650 and 680, most companies will look at other factors as well.

Q: What about if I sell my home? A: With a lease, the new buyer

simply assumes the lease. SunPower makes it easy. If you and the new buyer prefer, you can determine the remaining value and the system can be purchased, but that is simply an option at that time.

Q: So what should I do next? A: Read reviews of local compa-

nies who offer purchase and lease options. You do not want to get locked into a Power Purchase Agreement because that will dictate that you pay a certain amount for your electricity and will continue to escalate. If electric rates do not continue to increase at the same historical percentage, your savings will be diminished. Choose a couple of companies to speak with and be ready with a year’s worth of bills, or ready to work with the company to obtain them. This will ensure that a customized, accurate proposal can be prepared for you, in conjunction with the roof size and shade measurements that will be taken. If solar makes sense for you, sign up and enjoy the savings!

But then two things happened. In the late 1990s, some unintended loopholes grew out of a new law that allowed senior citizens over age 66 to YOUR work without any reduction in their benefits. Those loopholes became known as “file and suspend” and “file and restrict.” They have been discussed ad infinitum in this column and will not be explained by Tom Margenau here again, other than to say that, in a nutshell, they allowed retirees to collect dependent spousal benefits on a husband’s or wife’s Social Security record while delaying their own benefits until 70. Congress eventually recognized these loopholes violated the basic tenets of the program and closed them. Or to be more precise, they immediately closed the “file and suspend” provisions and put a I’ve written about this topic before.

Social Security by filing for wife’s benefits on my husband’s record and saving my own until age 70 when I would get higher benefits. He is 73. He started his benefits at age 70. He gets $2,850 per month. So now I’d like to cancel my retirement claim and then file for wife’s benefits. I understand I can get half of his, or $1,425. Can I do this? And how do I do this?

Well, yes you can do this, although not at quite the money amounts you think. And you really should think long and hard before jumping on this maximizing bandwagon. I mean, you and your husband are already getting over $5,000 per month in Social Security benefits. That is far more than the average Social Security beneficiary can even dream about. But if you are intent on squeezing every last nickel out of your Social Security piggy bank, here is what you should do. Make an appointment to talk to someone at your local Social Security office. Tell them you want to withdraw your retirement claim. (You have up to 12 months after your benefits start to do that.) You will have to repay all the benefits you’ve already received. That sounds to me like you’ll be writing the government a check for $22,250. After you withdraw your retirement claim, you will then turn around and file a claim for wife’s benefits on your husband’s account. But you won’t get half of his current benefit. You’ll only get half of his full retirement age rate. I’m guessing that’s about $2,150. So your share of that is $1,075. You can claim up to 6 months’ worth of retroactive spousal benefits. Once you make that switchover, you will keep getting $1,075 per month, until you turn 70. At that point, you would refile for your own retirement benefits, and get 132 percent of your basic rate, or about $2,900 per month. Good luck with all that!

Both my wife and I are about to turn 62. We went to a seminar about maximizing Social Security benefits. I was told that I could file for husband’s benefits on my wife’s record and then save my own until age 66. But the Social Security people said I can’t do that. Are they right? We are worried that we are missing out on Social Security benefits that ever yone else is getting.

The Social Security people were right. If you are under your full retirement age, the law says you must file for your own retirement benefits. And the loophole mentioned at the beginning of this column, the one that let people 66 and older file spousal benefits while delaying their own benefits until 70, closes before you reach your full retirement age. So now you and your wife simply have to make one of three Social Security decisions. Do you want reduced retirement benefits at 62, or some other age between 62 and 66? Or do you want full benefits at age 66? Or do you want to wait until age 70 and get 132 percent of your full retirement age rate? * * * If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has the answer.

by Anne McCollam

Daisy Ware Pitcher Was Made Circa 1903 Q:

Enclosed is a photo of a stoneware milk pitcher. I would like to learn about its histor y and value. As you can see, there is a hole on one side and a hole with a slot on the other side. This was for a lid, which I do not have. Marked on the bottom are the words “Lovatt -Langley Mill- England -- Leadless Glaze -- 1 Q.” The pitcher is decorated with a cobalt blue and tan finish, daisies and a brown handle. Except for the Lovatt Pottery was in business from missing lid, 1865 to 1982. it is in ver y good condition. What can you tell me?

Your coffee pot was made by A. Lanternier & Co. in Limoges, France. Frederic Lanternier established a porcelain-decorating company in 1855 in Limoges. It developed a hugely successful decorating business and exported large amounts of tableware. His son, Alfred Lanternier, joined the company in 1887, and the company name was changed to A. Lanternier. They bought a large factory and began producing porcelain doll heads. In 1918, they started making porcelain tableware, coffee set and tea sets. In 1925, they presented porcelain at the Paris decorative arts exhibits and were awarded the grand prix. They also entered porcelain pieces at the 1931 Paris Colonial Exhibition. A. Lanternier & Co. merged with GDA in 1960. Your coffee set was made in the late 1800s and would probably be worth $200 to $275. * * * Address your questions to Anne McCollam, P. O.

* On July 26, 1931, a swarm of grasshoppers descends on crops throughout the American heartland, devastating millions of acres. The swarm was said to be so thick that it blocked out the sun and one could shovel the grasshoppers with a scoop. * On July 28, 1945, the U.S. Senate approves the charter establishing the United Nations by a vote of 89 to 2. The Senate didn’t formally approved U.S. participation in the United Nations until December 1945.

Since its debut in 1948, a total of 5,114,959 2CVs had been produced.

Brothers Albert and John Lovatt started Lovatt Pottery in 1865. They made decorated stoneware and earthenware vases, jugs and pots. In 1905, they introduced lead-free pottery. Your pitcher is also called a jug and is an example of their Daisy Ware line that was in production from 1903 to 1909. The flowers were hand-painted with impasto, a technique of layering paint so the image stands up from the surface. The number “1”and the letter “Q” show it could contain 1 quart of fluid. Lovatt Pottery closed in 1982. Your jug would probably be worth $75 to $125. *** This mark is on the back of a porcelain coffee pot I own. It is decorated with roses on gold band at the top.
