DEAR ANNIE: I have read your responses to letters about barking dogs and neighborhood noise, and I appreciate the calm, compassionate way you approach these conflicts. You encourage people to start with empathy, assume good intentions and try to work things out neighbor to neighbor. That sounded wise to us, so we followed that advice exactly. We live surrounded by multiple homes with several dogs, and the barking has become a constant part of our lives. It comes from three sides of our property and even from farther down the street. It interrupts sleep, work, conversation and the simple ...
DEAR HELOISE: I am 82. When we travel, I pack a suction-cup grab bar. In hotels or other places, I stick it to the shower wall and have something sturdy to hold and steady myself with. These things work well. My wife likes it, too.

Even new jars have crystal that clogs the jar opening. Warming it up in the microwave tends to distort the plastic jar, and ...

I previously had a root canal on this molar and was told that this tooth should be extracted. I realized that it would be best to wait five more months to do this to be safe, out of concern of getting osteonecrosis of the jaw ...
One characteristic of the top players is their ability to conjure up brilliant plays on the spur of the moment. Consider this deal from the Brazil-Turkey match at the 1980 World Team Olympiad. Hero of the hand was the Brazilian star Gabriel Chagas, who was East. After West (Pedro Paulo Assumpcao) opened two clubs, showing a minimum opening bid with a strong club suit, the Turkish North-South pair reached four spades, against which Assumpcao led the heart ten. South took the ace and, realizing he could not afford to draw trump before establishing his diamonds, led a low diamond at ...
