DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband has a pacemaker. We have an induction stove, and his cardiologist was uncertain if it was safe for him to use it. So, he does not cook on the stovetop and stays clear when I am cooking. Is it safe for him to use at least the back burners? When I am out of town or ...

I have another birthday coming up in a couple of weeks and I’m feeling cranky. Old-man cranky. I’m-out-of-chocolate cranky. I’ve earned the right to be old-man cranky. I was born, after all, not just way back in the 1900s, but the 1950s at that. That means the nose hairs and ear hairs ...
In all of my adult life, not once has any employer, relative or stranger asked, “Hey, what’s the 31st element on the periodic table?” They do want to know why I missed the meeting, lost my password or forgot to put on pants, but never has anyone cared about the periodic table or any of ...
That little fort in the apple tree took us kids on many adventures across the known — and unknown — galaxy. It wasn’t much of a fort, really. But then, it wasn’t much of an apple tree, either. With the help of Gordy, the big kid who lived across the road, we lugged a door that had ...
Cousin Dweezil sent me another one of her tidbits of what she considers wisdom: “I’ve found that if you tuck one part of your pants legs into your socks, people expect less of you.” OK, maybe that one is wise. But not all of the questionable quandaries, ponderances and quagmires that ...
The other day, a few of the members of Dandelion-Inc and I decided that we were in dire need of getting together and doing something as a group that wasn’t about direct, measurable growth — either in business or personal development. Don’t get me wrong, growth is great, but sometimes ...
Who remembers A&W off Route 224? I’m about to get a little off-topic before I get into the heart of my nostalgia, but trust me — it’s worth the detour. I feel like I need to set the scene to help you understand how absolutely phenomenal A&W was in my childhood and early ...
Can we just take a moment to talk about our inboxes? Like really talk. If you’re part of my generation — or older — you’ll remember that if someone wanted to send you something promotional, they had two choices: snail mail or knocking on your front door. And if they were really ...
While I was away in Poland, my husband tackled one of the items that had been sitting on our “honey-do” list for far too long. He installed a new ceiling fan in our bedroom. Not just any fan — this one came with a light. Now, I know that might not sound like a big deal. But for us? ...
In my earlier years of gardening, I was attracted to and purchased unusual plants. Many of those didn’t survive beyond their first year. As I have “matured,” I have redirected my purchases toward the easy-to-grow natives that feed our local pollinators. The hotter, drier summers have ...

As I watched a woodpecker banging away at a tree, it made me think, why don’t woodpeckers get headaches or suffer brain trauma from all that drumming? So, I looked it up. Once again, nature has created a miracle that does not allow the woodpecker to get headaches or become dizzy. ...
Our temperatures have continued to fluctuate, but our winter weather will eventually remain colder and the darkness will cause us to bundle up, keeping ourselves warm. The days are gaining minutes of light in the morning and evening, but it will be a couple of months before we notice ...
