• When wildlife rummages through your garbage, it can be more than just a nuisance – wild animals can choke, get trapped and die. To help them, it’s key to make trash as unenticing as possible and nearly impossible to get into. To wildlife-proof your trash bins, start by minimizing the odors. That means rinsing nonrecyclables and placing food scraps inside old plastic bags or containers that you plan to toss. You can also use bungee cords: Wrap them around trash cans to keep the lids on tight.
DEAR HARRIETTE: How long do you stay in a relationship when it doesn’t seem to be healthy? I’ve been with my boyfriend for nine years. At first it was great, though he has always been moody. Now his moods are the driving force of the relationship. I never know how he is going to act when I see him. He can be kind one minute and hostile the next. I think he may have some kind of mental condition. I have suggested that he go to a doctor to talk about medication that helps people with depression or other mood disorders. He refuses. I don’t have the capacity to live through a lifetime with this man if his issues will always go unchecked. We are not married, but we are in a committed relationship. Am I wrong for wanting to leave if he won’t even try to get help for himself ? – Alone DEAR ALONE: I wholeheartedly believe that therapy can save relationships and be a major contributor to their success. If your partner is unwilling to get help when it is clear that he has some issues, that is a red flag.
