TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH: Complex problems require teamwork
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a friend who had gallstones and ultimately had her gallbladder removed. When they went in, they saw lots of infections, cleaned her out and put drains in her liver. She’s been feeling awful and weak, and she wants to get a second opinion. Which type of specialist should she see? — D.L.G. ANSWER: Treatment for a complex problem like hers often takes a team of specialists — in this case, certainly a surgeon and very likely a gastroenterologist and an infectious disease specialist. The ideal person to see now might be any of these specialists, especially ...
Cleaning screened-in porch with mop works
DEAR HELOISE: The cottonwood trees are busy shedding at this time of year. My husband and I have a screened-in porch. He’d spend hours and use up lots of lake water when washing the screens after the shedding was done. When he passed away, I knew that I wouldn’t be able to do this task as he did for numerous reasons. So, I found a regular old dust mop, and I used it to wipe down the screens. It was a great deal quicker and much more efficient method than using water and a hose. — Sally, in Fort Wayne, Indiana DEAR HELOISE: I had to write in response to this statement from the ...
The true heartbeat of America
There is nothing more ironic than a writer sitting in front of a blinking cursor with absolutely nothing to say. Or maybe not nothing to say, but too much. Too many thoughts trying to organize themselves into something meaningful. Too much pressure to make it timely, impactful, thoughtful, relevant. And believe it or not, that’s exactly what happened to me with this article. This one. Right here. For a very long time, I couldn’t write it. I kept thinking maybe it was because I wanted it to somehow connect to the Fourth of July weekend and the celebration of 250 years of ...

HINTS FROM HELOISE: Use spoon for testing temp of oil
DEAR HELOISE: I love your column, Heloise. I read it every day! It’s sometimes hard to get an accurate temperature of oil when using a thermometer, especially if there’s only a 1/2 inch of oil in a saute pan. My hint is to dip the end of a wooden spoon into the hot oil. When you see the oil sizzling around the end of the spoon, you’ve reached the desired temperature for frying. When frying multiple items, just retest in between each addition to maintain the temperature. I’ve been doing this for years, and it never fails. I rarely have to use a thermometer unless I’m deep fat ...
