Some of the dogs that show up there have obviously been in loving homes as you can tell they have been worked with, loved and trained. The goal of National Pet ID week, set for April 21-27 this year, is to reduce the number of unidentified pets coming into all shelters. During National Pet ID Week, Second Chance Pet Rescue encourages every - one to get their pet micro chipped. Second Chance will be holding a low cost micro chipping clinic 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 12, in the parking lot of Corning Ace Hardware. The cost is $20. There are only 75 mi- crochips available, so get there early. disCount CliniC Microchips available during National Pet ID week COURTESY PHOTO Penny the pug is pictured with her owner, Jackie Lopez. Before you cut up an expired credit card -- or toss that silly fake one you got as junk mail -- consider all the great things you can do with it. 1. Bookmark. It'll keep your place and act as a handy straightedge for un - derlining or highlighting. 2. Glass scraper. A credit card is just the right size to scrape ice from your car's windows and al - gae from the walls of an aquarium. 3. Neat caulk. Run the rounded corner of a credit card across the caulk bead for that professional look. 4. Unlock doors. Cer - tain types of locked doors can be easily unlocked by slipping a card between the jam and short bolt, and then coaxing the door open. 5. Cheese grater. The raised numbers on a credit card really work in a pinch to grate hard cheese like Parmesan or Ro - mano. Don't laugh. It works. 6. Paint mask. It's what the pros use to make a neat trim line when painting in an espe - cially tight spot. 7. Shim. Use a credit card or two under the leg of an un - even table or to fill a small gap when nailing up molding. 8. Battery cover. An old credit card is the perfect material for fashioning a substitute battery cover on the back of your remote control. How clever. Now the batteries won't fall out every time you pick the thing up. 9. Garden markers. Have you ever noticed that the seed packet doesn't re - ally work well to mark the contents of your garden? It fades and gets all icky wet. Use an expired credit card instead. Paint it first with white acrylic paint. Then write on it with a Sharpie. T here you go: labels for each sta r ter pot or row. 10. Credit card brace - let. This works well with credit cards, debit cards and gift cards, too! Being debt-free never looked so chic. 11. Earbud holders. OK this is just way too cute. 12. Guitar picks. The material in a credit card is perfect for guitar playing. You can buy a pick punch or just cut it out with scis - sors. 13. ID label. Your credit and debit cards have your name on them. Cut out that portion to label your belongings. You'll need strong glue or double-stick tape. Mary Hunt is the founder of www.DebtProofLiving.com, a personal finance member website.

People across the world make resolutions and set goals to better themselves and the world around them. Whether you want to shed a few pounds, secure your finances for retire - ment, devote more time to charity or go on a vacation you've always dreamed about, chances are you have some ideas for a fresh start in 2014. Social Security is no dif - ferent. Our goal is to provide the best service possible to everyone who comes to us for help, whether they're applying for disability ben - efits or getting verification of their Social Security number. By investing in new technologies and finding innovative, cost-effective ways to deliver service, we are able to reach this goal. We continue to rank high in customer service satis - faction and have the best online services in govern- ment, providing the best service to those who come to us for help. Technology is vital to delivering quality service, and we continue to pro - vide more options for cus- tomers to do business with us over the Internet or through self-service ki- osks. For example, my Social Security provides people who use the Internet a se - cure way to do business with us in an easy and con- venient way at www.so- cialsecurity.gov/myac- count. We are making changes in the way we provide some services so we can serve the vast majority of Americans better and more efficiently. Most peo - ple won't even notice the changes. So allow us to fill you in. Later this year, Social Security will stop provid - ing benefit verification let- ters in our local offices. You can still get an in- stant letter online by cre- ating a personal my Social Security account at www. socialsecurity.gov/myac- count, or by calling our toll-free telephone num- ber at 1-800-772-1213 to re- quest one by mail. In addition, we will dis- continue providing Social Security number print- outs. These printouts have no security features and could be easily misused or counterfeited. If you need proof of your Social Security number and you do not have your Social Security card, you may apply for a replace - ment card by completing the Application for a Social Security Card and provid- ing the required documen- tation. You'll find the appli- cation online at www.so- cialsecurity.gov/online/ ss-5.pdf. As always, we continue to work directly with other agencies to minimize the need for furnishing proof of your Social Security number. You may want to check out our webinar that aired live on January 9, "Bene - fit Verification Letters On- line, Easy as 1-2-3." The webinar explains how to establish an ac- count on my Social Se- curity, how to get a bene- fit verification letter and other services offered at our website. Watch the webinar at www.socialsecurity.gov/ webinars. We wish you all the best in 2014 and hope that you are successful in meeting your own goals and reso - lutions. If one of them is to do business with Social Secu- rity, or even if it is not, we will strive to continue pro- viding the best and most secure customer service possible.
