Noah Webster was 70 years old when he copyrighted the first edition of his 70,000-entry American Dictionary of the English Language in April of 1828. Although we've depended on Webster's Dictionary all our lives, his first edition sold only 2,500 copies. When it came time to issue the second edition, Webster mortgaged his home in order to finance it, and he lived in debt the remainder of his life.

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

CLEAN Soap and water are cheap. Your cost to get your house ready to sell will come in terms of time and elbow grease. Your home should be so clean that a Marine sergeant inspecting it with a white glove could not find a single exception.

by Mary Hunt By Samantha Weaver

Simple Strategies to Get Top Dollar When Selling Your Home

* It was famed Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius who made the following sage observation: “Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.”

Windows: Clean every window inside and out. Bathrooms: Sanitize and scrub the bathrooms until they sparkle -- even if they are old, they can be impeccably clean. Shine the faucets and fixtures until they gleam. Leave no water spots. All toothbrushes, products and implements should be out of sight. Clean the shower door tracks with an old toothbrush, removing every trace of gunk and yuck.

So you’re getting ready to sell your ® house. Just thinking about it can be an overwhelming experience.

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

* The United States isn’t the only country that has an accolade to recognize excellence in the film industry. Here the awards are known as the Oscars, but other nations have their own names: In Canada they’re known as Genies, in France they’re Cesars, in Russia they’re called Nikas, in Mexico they’re Golden Ariels, in Spain they’re known as Goyas, and in the United Kingdom they’re called BAFTAs (formerly the Orange British Academy Film Awards).

by Mary Hunt

Should you hire a Realtor? Do a FSBO (for sale by owner) to keep from paying that big commission? Should you spend a few bucks to paint and recarpet -- at least the front rooms? Where do you start, and what can you do to make sure you attract a qualified buyer as quickly as possible?

Floors: No matter how old or worn, have the carpets shampooed. Clean, wax, polish or do whatever is necessary to make your hard floor surfaces glisten. Scrub the corners even if you’re sure no one will ever look there.

HIRE A PROFESSIONAL A Realtor who is successfully moving Vertical surfaces: Clean the properties in your neighborhood and comes with baseboards, and scrub the woodwork and walls references will likely get you a better price for in every room. your home than you could get on your own.

Q: A:

Tax Credit is still in full effect until the end of 2019. If you purchase, you receive the Tax Credit to lower the cost of your system. And if you lease, the company you lease from takes it, lowering your monthly payment. Solar companies also have some panels in stock now that were here before components and/or panels were subject to the tariff, so that means you have great pricing right now.

Give Renova a call and we’ll look at your roof while you’re on the phone and give you an initial evaluation.

The situation: You are in desperate need of a vacation. The complication: You have a dog. The question: To bring or not to bring the dog. As worthy a question as the deliberations of Hamlet. In order to avoid all that Shakespearean bloodshed, let’s break it down: -- Where are you going and what will you be doing? If you’re going camping, a dog’s a great companion. If you’re going skiing, a dog is destined for substantial time alone in the lodge. Why not leave him at home with a dog sitter? -- Does the place where you’d like to stay allow dogs? If not, the choice is made for you. But even if they do, most places that welcome dogs do so on the condition that they are supervised at all times on the property. So be prepared to have a canine tagalong for all of your activities, or plan ahead to arrange daytime boarding in the area. -- How long will you be gone? If you’re taking a yearlong sabbatical and renting a chateau in Paris, consider bringing le chien. If you’re escaping for the weekend, entice a buddy to dog-sit and camp at your pad for a couple of days -- fill the fridge with their favorite food and drink, and leave an envelope on the counter with detailed instructions, contact information and a little something for their trouble. If you’re going away for a week or two, a kennel might be your best bet. Plan ahead. Do some research. Take your dog in for a visit and a tour. It’s the little extras that will put your mind at ease. But if it’s a dog-friendly vacation or bust, here’s a checklist of necessities: -- an ID tag with your name, your dog’s name and your cell phone number -- current vaccines for rabies, Bordatella and Lyme disease, and proof of vaccination in case you have to board him -- heartworm and flea preventives -- an ample supply of any medication your dog is on -- his regular dog food -- plenty of bottled water -- plastic food and water bowls

With Roku alone you can access thousands of channels, many of them free. Some will cost you a few dollars a month. Before you sign up for any channels, give yourself a month of sampling what you can get on your device for free.

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margenau

An Apology -- 25 Years Later I just got an email that absolutely floored me. Honestly, it even brought a lump to my throat. It has to do with something that happened about 25 years ago, while I was working for the Social Security Administration in San Diego, California. Frankly, it was a rather routine occurrence for me back then, and still is today. Let me explain -- and then we will get to this guy’s email. For almost 50 years now, I have been making speeches and other presentations to large and small groups around the country about Social Security. For most of those years, I was doing so as an official representative of SSA. But I retired from SSA in 2005, and for the past 13 years I’ve been freelancing as a private Social Security consultant. I’d guess that at more than half the presentations I make, someone in the audience gets up on their soapbox and starts ranting and raving about Social Security. Or rather, as they so often cleverly put it (at least in their own minds), “Social Insecurity.” They go on and on about how the program is a government boondoggle, a sham, a Ponzi scheme, a fraud, a rip-off, a liberal hoax and yadda yadda yadda! If they are younger, they always say they are convinced the program will be broke before they ever collect a dime in benefits. If they are older,

they say that Social Security will go belly up long their minds. Well, now I know that at least one of them has. before their kids ever reach retirement age. And by the way, I let this guy know that I always let them go on for a minute or two. Usually by then, other members of the audience if I ever do make it to Palm Springs, lunch would will have asked the guy (and it’s always been a man be on me, as a thank you for his noble gesture. And now, let’s turn to another email I also got this who interrupts me) to shut up and sit down. I actually don’t mind the intrusion. Because week. it lets me make some points, not just to the ranting : You should discuss the risks of interrupter but to the rest of the assembled crowd as well. I tell them to recall stories they may have Socialist Insecurity, revealing how people heard about those so-called “good old days” before could lose their benefits to the government Social Security came along. But what they may not if they do not live to collect any benefits and have heard is that 50 percent of all senior citizens have no eligible sur vivors. Socialist Insecuwere living below the poverty level. And many of rity is the ultimate political scheme that asthem were living with their grown children be- sures politicians of their long-term incumbency. But FICA payers don`t deser ve to cause they couldn’t afford a place of their own. Today, after about eight decades of Social lose their hard-earned retirement money just Security payments, the senior citizen poverty level to keep corrupt politicians in office. So, let is below 10 percent. And not only are most older the revolution begin!

ANSWER: It certainly is possible, and there have been some high-profile cases lately, including a Baltimore newspaper reporter. Most often, the chemical is from pine rosin, used in the printing process. An allergist can confirm this with skin testing. Avoiding the newpaper ink is the best solution, which may include simply washing your hands after reading the newspaper, or even using gloves.

Why All the Hysteria Over Measles Outbreak?

Worst case, many newspapers have electronic versions that can be read via handheld devices or your computer.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I do not understand the hysteria over the measles outbreak. In my day, every kid had the measles and other childhood diseases, and all survived with strengthened immune systems. Today, young people have no natural defenses against diseases because their immune systems have been compromised by drugs. With the exception of smallpox and polio, childhood diseases are a rite of passage. -- B.W.

Debacle at the VA “It was difficult to pinpoint precisely how the conditions described in this report could have persisted at the Medical Center for so many years.” Thus begins the conclusion to the full report issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs’ investigative office, the follow-up to a scathing interim report issued one year ago about deficiencies at the Washington, D.C.

How, one wonders, does a surgical unit run out of the staplers that close an incision? How does a hospital emergency room run out of the thin tubes that deliver needed oxygen to the nostrils? How could outages in crucial supplies continue to occur, a full six months after the interim report came out and the whistle was blown? And how, as recently as four months ago, could rusted instruments still be on hand for use in surgery?

Do You Need a Lawyer? Not necessarily. Creating a will with a doit-yourself software program may be acceptable in some cases, particularly if you’re single and have a modest bank account. But if you have significant financial assets or a complex family situation, like a blended family or child with special needs, it’s best to seek professional advice. An experienced lawyer can make sure you cover all your bases, which can help avoid family confusion and squabbles after you’re gone. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA.org) and the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC.org) websites are good resources that have directories to help you find someone in your area. Costs will vary depending on your location and the complexity of your situation, but you can expect to pay somewhere between $200 and $1,500 to get your will made. To help you save, shop around and get price quotes from several different firms. And before you meet with an attorney, make a detailed list of your assets and accounts to help make your visit more efficient.

The lamps are approximately 32 inches tall. They appear to be blown etched frosted glass with a design outlined in gold overlay.

We would never part with them and plan to have them insured. I hope you can tell me the insurance value, too.

The shape, stylized design and etched frosted glass are similar to lamps designed by Waylande Gregory in the mid-20th century. He was a successful early-1900s art deco sculptor. In the mid-1900s, he designed elegant blown-glass lamp bases and decorated some with whimsical designs. He often signed his work. Carefully examine your lamps for a signature. Insure the pair for $500 to $1,000. ***

Royal Bonn vase made by Franz Anton Mehlem.

Franz Anton Mehlem made your Royal Bonn vase. Mehlem founded his factory in Bonn, Germany, in 1836. It made earthenware and porcelain. In 1890, the words “Royal Bonn” were added. Mehlem also produced porcelain cases for mantel clocks. The mark with the words “Royal Bonn,” a crown and the initials “FM” in a shield was used from 1890 to 1920. In 1921, Villeroy & Boch in Mettlach, Germany, bought the factory. Franz Anton Mehlem closed in 1931. Your vase is shelfworthy! It was made around 1900 and would probably be worth $125 to $150.

* On April 8, 563 B.C., Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, is thought to have been born in what is now Nepal. Buddhist tradition had placed his birth in the 11th century B.C., until modern scholars determined he was likely born in the 6th century. * On April 3, 1776, lacking sufficient funds to build a strong navy, the Continental Congress gives privateers permission to attack all British ships. Any goods captured by the privateer were divided between the ship’s owner and the government. * On April 6, 1830, Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon religion, organizes the Church of Christ. Smith claimed in 1823 that he had been visited by an angel named Moroni who spoke to him of an ancient Hebrew text. Smith translated this text, and in 1830 The Book of Mormon was published. * On April 7, 1945, the Japanese battleship Yamato, purportedly the greatest battleship in the world, is sunk in Japan’s first major counteroffensive in the struggle for Okinawa. It sank after being struck by 19 American aerial torpedoes, drowning 2,498 of its crew. * On April 5, 1969, some 100,000 antiwar demonstrators march in New York City to demand that the United States withdraw from Vietnam. The weekend of protests ended with demonstrations and parades in other cities. * On April 2, 1979, the world’s first anthrax epidemic begins in Ekaterinburg, Russia (now Sverdlosk), killing 62 people. The Soviet government blamed tainted meat, but in 1992 the real cause was found: Workers at the weapons plant had failed to replace a crucial filter. * On April 4, 1982, hockey sensation Wayne Gretzky of the Edmonton Oilers finishes the NHL season with 212 points, the only player in NHL history to break the 200-point barrier.

Tip It Up To Chip

Many times a chip around the green requires so little speed and minimal carry that you’re tempted to putt it instead. Yet, there’s too much thick grass in the way, a sprinkler head in the line, or other conditions that prompt you to create a soft chipping shot. Paul Runyan, a sharp short game artist back in the 40’s and 50’s, used a unique chipping style that fit just these types of situations.

Besides Runyan’s bizarre weakening of each hand position, he made a significant adjustment that any golfer can imitate. Paul (and his imitators) would tip the chipping club quite more vertical than normal so that the club was resting on its toe. Then, by bending the arms and standing much closer to the ball, he could create a putting stroke with a chipping club. The club has a better chance of moving in a straighter path, helping to create a cleaner hit and more accurate shot. By using a putting style stroke and hitting the ball more toward the toe end of the club, the ball came offADVERTISING the club softer than normal chips.
