I would like to thank the Pride in the Tiger Foundation for the soft start materials grant I received for my classroom. The materials I received allow students to use their hands and minds to be creative and socialize with other students. The materials have been a great addition to my classroom. The Pride in the Tiger Foundation is always incredibly supportive of teachers and students. Thank you, Pride in the Tiger! Sincerely, Theresa Leek Second grade teacher
Dear Heloise: I also have trouble seeing the dates on items, so when I bring home my groceries, I grab a permanent marker and write the date on the top of a can, the end of the egg carton, or whatever. It makes it so much easier. Love to read all of the hints. -- Karen B., in New York Karen, grocery stores usually have a rapid turnover of products, so writing the date of purchase is a good idea. -- Heloise COFFEE FILTERS Dear Heloise: My single-serve coffeepot has a permanent filter to use for ground coffee when not using a pod (which I find wasteful and expensive). I find that the ...
Dear Annie: A few years ago, a group of us started a book club that became one of the highlights of our month. We’d gather with good food, wine and plenty of laughter, and occasionally even talk about the book. For a long time, it was pure fun. But over time, one member began to dominate everything.

Dear Dr. Roach:I just discontinued using metoprolol succinate extended release (ER) at a dosage of 6.25 mg. My heart rate is normally in the 70-80s, and my blood pressure is normal. My doctor prescribed metoprolol for palpitations, but it seems totally unnecessary. My issue is that I am experiencing tachycardia of over 100 beats every single night as well as dry mouth. Could this be anxiety? And do you think an antidepressant like Zoloft or Paxil would help? I had a Holter monitor, which showed nothing wrong with my heart. The palpitations were sporadic only when I was anxious. I ...
