People often decide to be Rolfed because of pain in the muscular-skeletal system, often in the back, shoulders and neck. While Rolfing® is not designed as a system of treatment for illness, it can often be helpful in these situations as it brings the body into better alignment. A Rolfed body is more vertically balanced, with the leg more directly under the torso for better support, the pelvis less tipped forward, the chest lifted and symmetrical, and the head sitting directly over the neck and shoulders. In this alignment, chronic aches and pains often clear up as the body is positioned and moves in the most comfortable way.

It’s happening every day in homes all over the world: fear tinkling. The dog is so submissive and fearful that he piddles in an instant when triggered by something. What turns on the tinkle? Several things can cause this unwanted behavior, including a loud noise, a visitor reaching out toward the dog, or the dog’s owner pointing and yelling. By any other name, fear tinkling is called “submissive wetting,” and it is common among shy and fearful dogs. Something frightens the dog, and he wets out of fear. So let’s explore this behavior, see what causes it, and determine how to solve or minimize it. We will start with the dog’s temperament. What has caused the dog to be shy and fearful? It could be a number of things: Bad breeding, lack of socialization or too much discipline. You may have adopted a dog and don’t know his history. He may have been mistreated. And, of course, it’s important to know that your dog hears five times better than you do, so if you raise your voice or point at him while saying something like, “You bad dog, you,” that will only heighten the fear of your already-frightened dog. And this causes more fear and more tinkling. The only way to solve or at least minimize the problem is to build up your dog’s self-confidence. And the only way to do this is for you to be patient, kind and loving. Start the process by socializing your dog. When he meets new people and dog-friendly dogs, praise him and tell him what a good boy he is. Use only positive reinforcement. And be sure to train your dog. This is very important. Dogs love to learn and to reach their potential. Submissive wetting is most common when you answer the door or when you come home after being gone for a while. For example, when the doorbell rings and your trained dog accompanies you to the door, you will be able to tell him to SIT and STAY. Then praise him and open the door. Your well-trained dog will remain in the sit position, and

SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margenau

Where to Go for Social Security Help My wife has a little plaque hanging on the wall of her art studio. She’s a fiber artist who makes quilted landscapes and something called “temari,” which are decorative Japanese thread balls. She sells her wares in a local art gallery. If you want to see her work, just go to www.fiberartsbybecky. com. Anyway, that plaque, which she got when we both retired in 2005, says: “Help me! My husband retired and he doesn’t have a hobby!” I was thinking of that plaque when I opened my email inbox today. There were scores of letters from readers of my column. I probably get hundreds of emails every week from across the country. And for the most part, I’m not complaining -and my wife is rejoicing. Answering those emails has become my hobby. It keeps me out of her hair and out of ... well, never mind. But you get my drift. My wife can work on her little crafts in peace upstairs while I work on my “hobby” downstairs. (That’s part of the secret to a 47-year marriage!) You’ll note I said I’m not complaining “for the most part.” I like helping people understand Social Security’s rules and regulations. And I like answering their general questions about the program. But frankly, I’m perplexed when people come to me with questions or issues that I simply cannot help them with. For example, one of the emails I got today went like this: “I get a small Social Security check and my husband’s benefit is much larger. How do I find out if I can get any extra benefits on his record?” Well, the obvious answer (obvious to me anyway) is to contact the Social Security Administration. Simply call them at their toll-free number: 800-772-1213. Another email said: “I am about to turn 62 and I want to file for my Social Security. Can you help me with this?” Well, no I can’t. Once again, you’ve got to call SSA at 800-772-1213. Or better yet, file online at their website: www.socialsecurity.gov. Still other readers send me LONG emails that, because of the high volume of mail I get, I simply do not have time to decipher. These long emails usually take two forms. One kind comes from readers who are looking for financial advice. They provide me with their entire work history, marital history, earnings history and a spouse’s work and earnings history. They frequently tell me about all their assets and liabilities. They ask me to help them make retirement plans and tell them when they should file for Social Security benefits. While I do appreciate their thoroughness, I really only have time to quickly scan their email, and I almost always tell them: “I am not a financial planner. I’m just an old retired Social Security guy. As such, all I can do is explain Social Security rules. And I just can’t do that in a quick email. So I strongly recommend you spend 10 bucks and get my little Social Security guidebook called “Social Security -- Simple and Smart.” One of the chapters in that book explains when and how to file for Social Security. I think it will answer all your questions.” The other kind of long email I get from readers are the kind that are ranting and raving

ANSWER: I would be concerned about low testosterone. Androgens, particularly testosterone, are responsible for growth and maintenance of body hair. Loss of body hair, especially pubic and axillary hair, is not common with low testosterone levels unless the testosterone was very low for a long period of time, usually over a year. Other symptoms of low testosterone include loss of muscle mass, lower energy levels, decreased libido and depression. Not all men will get all symptoms, but having more than one symptom is suggestive of low testosterone, especially in men who have difficulty getting an erection. Your doctor should check your testosterone. Ideally, the sample should be drawn while fasting between 8 and 10 a.m. when levels are normally highest, and should take into account the age of the person being tested.

ADVICE Answers to YOUR Medicare and Health Insurance questions.

Doug Wright, Wright Health Insurance Agency

Am I an Inpatient or Outpatient? Staying overnight in a hospital doesn’t always mean you’re an inpatient. Your doctor must order your hospital admission and the hospital must fomally admit you for you to be an inpatient. Without the formal inpatient admission, you’re still an outpatient, even if you stay overnight in a regular hospital bed, and/or you’re getting emergency department services, observation services, outpatient surgery, lab tests, or X-rays. You or your caregiver should always ask the hospital and/or your doctor if you’re an inpatient or an outpatient each day during your stay, since it affects what you pay and can affect whether you’ll qualify for Part A coverage in a skilled nursing facility. You can also ask a hospital social worker or patient advocate if you’re unsure.

Ironstone Gives Collectors the Blues Q:

This is a photo of an antique platter that is part of a ser vice for a 12-set of dishes that I inherited. It was given to my grandparents when they were married around 1900. The set includes ser ving pieces, and it is in mint condition. Marked on the back of each dish is a crown and the words “Clive -- Royal Semi Porcelain -- Wood and Son -- England -Reg. 349589.” I am planning on having the set insured and want to know what the replacement cost might be. Also, anything you can tell me about the histor y, vintage and value of my set of dishes will be appreciated.

Flow Blue Ironstone was made by Wood and Sons in England.

You have a set of ironstone Flow Blue dishes that was made by Wood and Sons. They have made ironstone and earthenware in Staffordshire, England, since1865. Cobalt Blue was used to create the patterns on white backgrounds from 1820 to the early 1900s. During the process, the color bled or flowed outside the design and appeared blurry, thus the name, Flow Blue. A myriad of patterns were decorated with Asian scenes, landscapes and floral motifs. Although most examples were made in England, many were made in the United States. “Clive” is the name of the pattern and “Reg. 349589” is the British Registry number that shows the design of your dishes was registered in 1899.

Vol. XVII Issue 46

Limoges China Company made your dishes. They were located in Sebring, Ohio, from 1900 to 1955 and produced china to compete with fine porcelain made in Limoges, France. One of the manufacturers in Limoges, France, objected to them using the “Limoges” name, and the name was changed to the American Limoges China Company. In the early 1900s especially during the Depression, movie theatres often offered premiums to encourage attendance. Your set was made between 1930 and 1940 and would probably be worth $175 to $325.
