Stress comes in different forms; the stress of planning a wedding is very different than the stress of losing a home, but you may experience similar symptoms. Some stress is beneficial; it helps you develop skills to deal with possible threatening situations in life. However, too much stress can have adverse health effects on you. Stress is not helpful when it prevents you from taking care of yourself and your family. You can p...

V. E. Figg and crew built our present house at its location of 521 North Central Ave in the summer of 1956. We added an addition in 1984-85.

The house was small but had several small rooms which made for lots of per-fa-taping and “mud” work. Material and tools were a little different at the time – a powder mixed with water for “mud” and a product called Dramax used for texture finish. Sorry no textur...

I apologize for not having a Bright Idea last week; one finished article rested in the computer, but no one knew about it and I was “out of it” enough not to mention it. I might add it next week.

But I’ve been dealing with a nasty nerve pain in my right lower jaw — just where it hinges. Its medical name is trigeminal nerve pain. I’ve tried drugs to quiet the pain, and I landed in the hospital last S...
