Monica MendozaFrom The Desk Of...The CEOI can’t believe that another year has gone by. I love this time of year; it reminds me of the excitement and anticipation I had when I was a child, which I now see in my daughter’s eyes. It also reminds me that life is short and we need to take the opportunity to be thankful and appreciate all that we have. At the Monthly Grapevine we are pleased to continue to offer our readers and advertisers the value they’ve come to expect from us. Keeping our prices competitive, yet still delivering to reader’s mailboxes each and every month is our objective every year and an accomplishment we’re happy we’ve made, particularly this year.
For us here at the Monthly Grapevine we would like to thank our loyal advertisers, for without you we would cease to exist. Our customers see the value the Monthly Grapevine brings to the community and to their businesses. Our readers are equally as important; you see the value right in your mailboxes every month! Our readers also utilize our online coupons or our website to locate a plumber or fence repairman, a dentist or veterinarian.
On a personal note, I would like to thank my inside staff for all that they
have done to help me in my fi rst year of being CEO. Please make sure to thank them when you call or Facebook us and let us know you appreciate them. They work very hard to get each of our publications out on time… every time.
Happy Holidays to all!
Sincerely,
Sonya North - CEO

ON THE HOUSEPainting Made EasierPainting is the favorite home improvement of the do-it-yourselfer. As remodeling contractors, we can tell you that many folks, who otherwise hire others to do their work, choose to do their own painting.
We’ve had the opportunity to watch paint being made and, except for the huge size of the mixing vat, the whole process looks a lot like making cake batter. It may surprise you to know we discovered that water-based paint is nothing more than a mixture of water, fi nely crushed rock, powdered dirt and glue. The water is simply of the tap variety and the rock (usually titanium dioxide) is so fi nely crushed it looks like wheat fl our. The dirt is nothing more than clay in the form of a very fi ne powder. And the glue is old fashioned white glue (polyvinyl acetate PVA). When the paint is used, the water evaporates and the glue holds the rock and dirt together, and to the wall.
The paint manufacturer uses other chemicals to stop bubbling, retard mildew,
etc. But basically the toughest part of the process seems to be getting the paint from the vat into the cans. The quality of the paint can be measured by the ratio of titanium dioxide to clay (rock to dirt). More titanium dioxide and less clay equal better paint. Actually, titanium dioxide is a pigment and clay is a fi ller. Paint with too much clay has a tendency to chalk. Since clay is heavier than titanium dioxide cheaper paints tend to weigh more than the better ones.
It actually is kind of easy to compare paint. Titanium Dioxide is as fi ne as talcum powder and clay is far more course and gritty. Give paint the fi nger test to determine quality. Open the can and rub a freshly shaken can between your thumb and forefi nger. If the paint is gritty it has lots of clay. If the paint is smooth and silky it has less clay and more pigment – and that’s the paint that you want. Besides cosmetics, painting provides protection against damage by moisture and the sun’s rays. Paint is supposed to create a moisture barrier, not a vapor barrier. Your house needs to breath. Paint fails as a protector when moisture can’t pass through it. It peels and splits when vapors can’t penetrate it. This lack of a painted surface’s ability to breathe is usually caused by the presence of too many coats of paint. This is one where more is NOT better.
Morris and James Carey can be contacted at 1-800-737-2474 or visit their website at www.onthehouse.com.
A few tips:
1. Pre-painting patchwork should be done with the proper putty or spackle. Use exterior latex putty for exterior nail holes and cracks. Always prime puttied areas. Putty absorbs paint differently than wood and will cause an uneven fi nish if left unprimed.
2. When patching with putty, wet the putty knife with water. The water acts as a lubricant and prevents the putty knife from dragging the patching compound out of the hole being patched.
3. Select the right paint brush. Natural bristles for oil-based paint and nylon or another synthetic for water-based paints.
4. Stretch a large rubber band across the top-center of the paint can. Remove excess paint by scraping the brush against the rubber band.
5. If you are using a roller, and the job looks like it’s going to take an additional day, don’t wash it. Simply wrap it in common household cellophane wrap and place it in the refrigerator overnight. It will be fresh for use the next day.

Tips For Traveling SoloTraveling alone can be a pleasure or a pain -- it all depends on how well you plan and your attitude on your journey.
No matter if you are embarking on an adventurous vacation to meet new people, or if you’ve been sent on a business trip, there are many ways to make your travels run smoothly and stay safe.
Traveling alone is a great opportunity to do exactly what you want, when you want to do it. You can stay where you want, eat where you want and set your own agenda.
Have you ever wanted to take a trip, but your best friend or signifi cant other just wanted to sit on the couch, eat potato chips and stare at the TV? Don’t let them drag you into this trap! Go it
alone if you must. Here are some of her tips for solo travelers:
Save Money - The more money you save on the basics, the more will be available for having fun.
Check Early and Often: Check airplane ticket and discount travel agency Web sites daily for a while before purchasing plane tickets, as prices often change with no notice and this can save you hundreds.
Ask for a Refrigerator: When booking your hotel ask if it has a refrigerator guests can use or if one can be placed in your room. Buying your own food at the market saves cash.
Hit Bargain Season: Travel during the off-season to save money. For example, fall is usually the most economical season to schedule a European vacation.
Be Safe
Plan Wisely: Always research and background check your route and destination. Choose places to stay and
visit that have a reputation for being friendly and safe. Once you are there, be vigilant.
Tip Them Off: Let a family member or friend know your travel itinerary. If you make any changes to it while on the go, be sure to share the change.
Money Matters: Don’t fl ash money around, and keep it in several places. Many experts advise you to wear a pouch hung on a strap around your neck and stuffed into your shirt or blouse to protect cash and credit cards. However, for women looking to be fashionable, this won’t cut it. You can be safe and trendy if you carry a clutch with a short strap and tuck it under your arm at all times. If you need a bigger purse, try hipster bags with straps that sling diagonally across your body.
A successful solo trip is all about getting out, being adventurous and meeting new people. Once you’ve taken care of the logistics, you can relax and enjoy.
