visit home or house

• Cambridge Dictionary +Plus

House or home ?

We use the noun house to refer to a building:

They’re building six new houses at the end of our road.

When we refer to being at someone’s house , we can leave out the word house and use at + possessive or at + the definite article + possessive:

We stayed overnight at Mike’s . (at Mike’s house)

We’re going to be at the Jacksons’ this evening. Want to come with us? (at the Jacksons’ house)

We use home in a more personal and emotional way to refer to where someone lives. The noun home does not usually refer to the building. We often use home with the preposition at :

It’s not very big but it’s my home .

Why don’t you phone her now? I think she’s at home .

When we talk about the building we live in, we use house not home :

Our dog stays in the house with us.

Not: Our dog stays in the home with us .

We usually don’t use an article or other determiner with home unless we are talking about homes in general:

A lot of energy can be saved in the home by making small changes such as turning off lights. (energy can be saved in all homes)

We use home as an adverb with verbs of movement such as get, go, come, arrive, travel, drive . We don’t use to :

I’m going home now. I’m really tired.

Not: I’m going to home now .

Would you like me to drive you home ?

Not: Would you like me to drive you to home?

Home can be used as a countable noun to refer to the place where people or animals live and are cared for by people who are not their relatives or owners:

There’s a home for the elderly at the end of our street.

We got our dog, Scotty, from the local dogs’ home .

Visit: house or home?

I visit my grandma's home/house very Sunday. Self-made When I use the word "visit", should I use "home" or "house"? (There's previous threads on "home/house", but here I am specifically asking about the use of the word "visit" with home/house.)  

The simple I visit my grandma every Sunday is better anyway. But if you insist on house/home , I have a slight preference for house .

"I have referred all of my clients with any Tax related issues to Joseph Damiens."

- Damian Holcomb

Note that as of July 2023, the IRS has stopped making unannounced house calls to most taxpayers. The agency will only do a handful of surprise visits each year and only in extreme situations such as serving subpoenas or during a jeopardy property levy. Instead, if the IRS wants to meet with you in person, they will send a 725-B letter.

If an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agent visits a home or business, the taxpayer may be alarmed and confused about their rights. The experienced tax attorneys at Damiens Law can explain the steps you can take if you are ever involved in this situation. If an IRS agent recently showed up at your doorstep, consider contacting Damiens Law for advice and guidance. You can reach the office by calling (601) 957-9672 .

Can an IRS agent visit a home or business?

According to the IRS , revenue officers are IRS civil enforcement workers who handle cases that involve taxes that a taxpayer owes or a delinquent tax return. Often, IRS revenue officers show up to collect taxes when taxpayers have not set up a payment agreement with the IRS and they owe more than $100,000 in taxes or have unfiled tax returns. Revenue officers are allowed to make unannounced visits to a home or business because scheduling appointments would be inconsistent with the urgent nature of these visits. Therefore, it is possible that these IRS agents may visit a home or business legally.

Other types of IRS agents may visit homes or businesses. For example, IRS revenue agents may conduct audits at a home or business. However, these agents will generally send a notice first regarding their upcoming visit and try to schedule a specific time and place to visit. IRS special agents may also show up at a taxpayer’s home or business to conduct an IRS criminal investigation. Special agents may show up unannounced.

Reasons IRS agents visit homes or businesses

There are several reasons why an IRS agent may show up at a taxpayer’s doorstep, such as:

• A revenue officer is sent to the taxpayer’s home or business to collect on severely delinquent taxes
• A taxpayer’s business owes taxes
• A business is behind on payroll taxes and a revenue officer shows up to show the IRS is serious about quickly resolving the issue
• An IRS agent is conducting an audit and is showing up for a pre-arranged appointment
• The taxpayer is suspected of tax evasion and the agent is conducting a criminal investigation
• An IRS special agent suspects someone else of committing a tax crime and is visiting the taxpayer to gather evidence about the other taxpayer

Steps to take if an IRS agent visits your home or business

If an IRS agent visits your home or business, here are some steps you can take to protect your rights:

Check that it is really an IRS agent

While IRS agents can show up at a taxpayer’s home or business, so can scammers and criminals. Thieves and scam artists may show up at any time, not just during tax season. In these instances, fraudulent persons may state that there is a problem with a taxpayer’s tax return and demand immediate payment.

The first thing you can do to try to determine if the person at the door is actually an IRS agent is to ask for identification. The IRS says that revenue officers carry two forms of official identification. The first is a pocket commission. The second is a HSPD-12 card , which is a standard type of government identification for federal employees. Both of these forms of identification have photos of the employee and a serial number. Taxpayers can ask to see both forms of ID. If the IRS worker is a special agent, they will carry law enforcement credentials, including a badge.

The IRS also recommends that taxpayers take the following steps to verify whether a person is a revenue officer or not:

• Review notices – The IRS will usually send notices in collection cases via regular mail. The IRS may also contact a taxpayer over the phone before they send an agent in person. If the taxpayer is an employer who has not complied with employment tax laws, the IRS may send Federal Tax Deposit Alerts. These alerts are often followed by a Telephone Contact Letter (L5857) that states a contact will be made by phone. However, an in-person visit may still occur announced. If a revenue officer attempts to complete a home or business visit and the taxpayer was not there or available, they will typically leave an FTD Alert Field Contact Letter (L5664) that explains why the field visit was attempted and asking the employer to contact the revenue officer.
• Consider the intent – The IRS explains that revenue officers are there to help taxpayers understand and meet their tax obligations. While they can collect on taxes, they are not supposed to threaten or demand unusual payment from taxpayers.
• Review payment options – Revenue officers will offer several different payment options, such as a check payable to the United States Treasury or automated clearing house payments. If the “agent” asks for payment via gift card or cash, this typically implies a scam.

Signs the “IRS agent” is an imposter

There are some potential red flags that can alert you that a person showing up at the door is an imposter and not an official IRS agent. Check for these signs:

• The agent demands that you use a specific payment method rather than letting you choose from a variety of options.
• The agent demands you pay taxes via a gift card, prepaid debit card, or wire transfer.
• The agent asks you to pay an entity other than the United States Treasury.
• The agent threatens to have you arrested or revoke your driver’s or business license.
• The agent demands you make payment without the opportunity to question the amount due or appeal the decision.

If you are concerned that the person who has showed up demanding payment for back taxes is not actually an IRS agent, contact the IRS to confirm this information and to report any scams.

Collect information

If you meet the IRS agent at the door, you can request information from them, such as their name, contact information, job title, and reason for visit. Request any paperwork the agent brought with them. If you were not present when the agent visited, this information should be included in a letter the agent leaves at your door.

Do not let the agent into a home or business

IRS agents do not have a legal right to enter your home, place of business, or any non-public area of your property unless they have a search warrant, your permission, or a court order. Do not agree to allow an agent without a warrant or court order into your home or business. Even if you do not say much to an agent, the agent may try to gather evidence against you based on what they see during their visit, such as the condition of your home or a new car in your garage.

Do not talk to the agent

Though taxpayers are required to cooperate in IRS investigations, they are not required to talk to IRS agents without legal representation. As some tax issues can potentially involve criminal offenses, taxpayers have a right to remain silent.

Do not fill out paperwork

Revenue officers may try to get the taxpayer to agree to a repayment plan, agree to the amount of tax owed, or make some other concession in writing. However, taxpayers should not sign any such paperwork without first contacting a legal professional for advice.

Contact an experienced tax lawyer

Taxpayers can contact a tax lawyer for legal advice and guidance for help dealing with the underlying tax issue. If the IRS is coming to a taxpayer’s home or business, the matter may be serious. Damiens Law has successfully represented taxpayers in front of the IRS. Our tax lawyers are familiar with the IRS tax collection and investigative procedures. We know the tactics IRS agents may use to try to collect tax or gather evidence to support a criminal investigation.

Our team can investigate the situation, review your options, and devise a strategy to resolve the tax issue. We can also handle communications with the IRS on your behalf so that you do not have to deal with this stress and so that we ensure we provide accurate information that does not harm your case. Additionally, we can confirm whether the situation is real and not a scam.

If you know ahead of time that an IRS agent may be visiting you, we can work with you to gather relevant evidence, review tax returns, prepare any delinquent tax returns, and prepare for the visit before the agent ever arrives. Depending on the circumstances, you may need to present a financial statement to the IRS. Our knowledgeable tax lawyers can assist with this process, too.

Contact Damiens Law for help resolving your tax issue

If an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agent visited your home or business, Damiens Law can help. We can review your situation, represent you, and explain the steps you can take to resolve the underlying tax situation. If an IRS agent has recently contacted you, consider contacting Damiens Law at (601) 957-9672 .

15 house etiquette dos & don'ts when visiting someone’s home

Follow these tips to avoid making any of the same mistakes.

Now that we're able to visit friends and family again post lockdown, have we forgotten how to behave outside our own home?

Thankfully the interior experts from Stelrad have pulled together a list of some of the basic home etiquettes that are most often overlooked. Want to make sure that you don't come across as disrespectful the next time you visit your loved ones? Then take a look at how you can avoid making some of the same mistakes…

1. Avoid asking for the WiFi code right away

Even though most of us are often glued to our mobile phones, it can be seen as rude to dive straight in for the WiFi code when you are visiting a friend or family member. Even if you are visiting a close friend, it is polite to wait a little before bringing out your phone and trying to connect to the WiFi.

2. Take your shoes off when you enter

Different households have different views on shoes in the home so it is always best to make sure you're on the same page. As you arrive at the entrance , it is good etiquette to remove your shoes before walking through the home, or check with the homeowner to see if they would prefer that you did so before going any further.

3. Keep screens away from the dinner table

After your hosts have gone to the effort of serving up a lovely meal, getting your phone out at mealtimes can be seen as a rude gesture. Taking a break from the screen, even if it is just while at the dinner table, is polite etiquette. It also allows you to enjoy uninterrupted time with your loved ones and friends as you tuck into a home cooked meal.

4. Don't go into bedrooms without permission

The bedroom is one of the most personal and private areas of our homes, which is why you should stay clear of it unless you are invited in. Sticking to communal areas such as the living room , kitchen and bathrooms will ensure that you don't risk overstepping the mark and making your host feel uncomfortable.

5. Avoid the temptation to open up the fridge

It is common courtesy to stay away from your host's fridge and kitchen cabinets , instead asking their permission if you would like any food or drink, rather than helping yourself. Many homeowners feel uncomfortable if they notice that their guests are snooping, so unless you have the green light to do so, avoid heading into the kitchen cabinets or fridge without asking first.

6. Don't turn up to a dinner party empty handed

Whether you're attending a family dinner, a meal with co-workers or a reunion with friends, showing your appreciation towards the host is considered good etiquette. It doesn't have to be a big or expensive gift, but a simple gesture to say thank you for hosting can go a long way. Common gifts include a bottle of wine, bouquet of flowers or a box of chocolates.

7. wait to be offered food before tucking in.

Helping yourself to food at somebody else's house can be misinterpreted as bad manners, especially if you are not particularly close with the homeowner. It is always good practice to double check before you begin tucking in. Wait for food to be offered or ask if you are okay to eat any food that may be within reach and left out.

8. Appreciate and accept food that is offered to you

And while we are on the topic of food, if a host has put the time and effort into making food and drink for their guests, it can be seen as rude if you turn it down completely. Although this will differ from person to person, it is polite to join the homeowners in enjoying their offerings, even if it's just in small quantities. Of course, this may not be applicable if you have dietary requirements or are making an unplanned appearance. But people often like to see their guests enjoying their hospitality.

9. Keep your feet off of the furniture

Even if you're used to putting your feet up on the coffee table or relaxing across the sofa in your own home, it is polite to avoid doing this when at somebody else's. Some people do not like feet on the furniture, even if you are wearing socks or slippers, as this may be seen as a sign of disrespect for their home. If you are visiting a close friend or family member and feel comfortable in their home, it is still courtesy to ask for permission to do so before you make yourself too comfy.

10. Don't bring four legged friends along without asking first

Bringing your pet along to someone else's home without prior discussion can catch homeowners by surprise and it may not always be a welcome addition. Instead of assuming that it will be fine to do so, always check that the homeowners are happy for you to bring your pets along. Make sure to check in advance that there are no allergies, children or other pets to worry about as well.

11. Always flush the toilet

Although this may seem obvious, not everyone is in the habit of flushing the toilet after use. Regardless of whether you're on a mission to save water in your own home, make sure to flush when you're a guest in somebody else's. And on that note, always ensure the toilet lid is put down after use.

12. Use a coaster when putting drinks down

You never want to leave unsightly ring marks on a surface, especially if the furniture is not your own! To ensure that this doesn't happen, always ask for a coaster before you place your drink down. If the host doesn’t use coasters or has no more to use, at least you've asked and have been given their go ahead.

13. Take your outerwear off when you're indoors

Even if you're not planning to stay for long, it is good etiquette to remove your coat and any winter woollies such as hats, scarves and gloves when you enter a home. For a homeowner, having guests who are dressed for the outdoors can be an unsettling feeling, making them worry that their home may be cold indoors. It may also leave them unable to relax as you look ready to head right out.

14. Wash your hands before dinner

We're used to washing our hands now more than ever, but before you sit down at the table to enjoy a meal, make sure your hands are clean and fresh. This is especially true if you are breaking up bread, sharing serving utensils or pouring drinks.

15. Keep your opinions on how they've decorated to yourself

And finally, although this should be obvious, making negative comments about the appearance of your family or friend's home can be taken the wrong way. Even if you have good intentions, keep any criticisms to yourself unless you are asked for your opinion. After all, everyone has different tastes!

How to Be Such an Amazing House Guest You Get Invited Back Every Time

Now this is how you win the best houseguest award.

Whether you're crashing with a friend for convenience, invited for a leisurely stay at a cousin's summer home, or headed to your future in-laws' place for the first overnight visit, house guest etiquette matters. And if you've ever hosted family or friends for an extended stay, you know just how refreshing a well-behaved, respectful, game, and grateful house guest is—and how exhausting a not-so-awesome one can be.

Here are 11 house guest etiquette rules to follow, no matter who you're staying with or how long you plan to be there. (Trust us, this is how you get invited back.)

Be Clear About How Long You're Staying

Make sure you clear the duration of you stay with your hosts as far in advance as possible—at their invitation, of course. Don't be vague or hope to extend your stay once you arrive. Of course, there is a chance they might extend an offer, but don't make assumptions. If your BFF says they'll be busy after Labor Day, book your return ticket to leave a full day before so they have some time to themself. The last thing you want to do is take advantage of your host.

Don't Show Up Unannounced

It's never a good idea to show up without notice—or, even worse, to show up with a pet, child, significant other, or friend (even if it's a mutual friend) in tow, unless you've cleared it with your host beforehand. You may call it spontaneous and fun, but your cousin and their spouse may call it inconvenient.

Bring a Thoughtful Gift

A grateful guest always brings their host a gift —a little something to show their gratitude. However, there's no need to haul something huge or extravagant all the way there. A local treat from your hometown bakery, a beautiful coffee table book, flowers, a nice candle, or bottle of wine all work perfectly. Headed to someone's vacation house? Get them something on theme: beach towels or a cocktail-themed gift would be perfect.

Follow House Rules

When you arrive, gently inquire about how things are done to avoid any misunderstandings. What time does everyone usually wake up and go to bed? Anything you should know about the kids or pets? Should you leave the thermostat alone? Pick up on other house rules by being in tune with your hosts. This could mean observing whether or not you should take your shoes off indoors or if you should keep your phone away from the dinner table. Also, refrain from finishing the coffee or milk (but if you do, replace it).

Limit Your Phone Use

Spending too much time with your face in a screen will make your hosts feel like they're boring you (and, honestly, you might be boring them). It makes your company feel like there's somewhere else you'd rather be, or someone else you'd rather be spending time with. Try to limit screen time and only check emails, texts, and social media in the privacy of your own room.

Act More Appropriate Than Usual

Before you walk down the hall in only a towel, curse, tell inappropriate jokes, or come downstairs for breakfast in your PJs, take cues from your host. When in doubt, err on the side of modesty. If you're planning a dinner out with your hosts, ask what attire is appropriate for the restaurant (e.g. no jeans) so you can pack accordingly.

Be Extremely Helpful

Unhelpful guests are rarely invited back. Things you should offer to do: Help prep or cook meals; set the table and do the dishes; offer to drive; occupy the kids while their parents take a well-deserved nap; fix a little something around the house if you have the skills; or take the dog for a walk. Even if you're turned down, the hosts will appreciate the gesture.

Things you should do without asking for a thumbs up: Clear your dishes when you're done eating; buy some groceries and maybe the fixings for cocktails; get your own kids out of the house for an hour or two; fill up the tank if you borrow the car; strip your sheets at the end of your stay (unless you're told otherwise).

Be (at Least Somewhat) Self-Sufficient

Your hosts might be happy to see a Broadway show or the Lincoln Memorial for the third time, but they may also choose to get some things done while you are out and about. Your friend might actually be working during the day, so being able to entertain yourself will be a godsend for both of you. If you're staying for more than three days, call up other friends who live in the city, bring some work of your own to do, or be okay exploring on your own. Let your host know your plans and when you think you will get back.

Bring Your Own Toiletries

Don't expect to use any of your hosts' toiletries or other items. If you realize you've forgotten to pack toothpaste, inquire about where you can buy a new tube. They'll likely be happy to offer theirs, but first demonstrate that you're not a mooch.

Leave Things Cleaner Than You Found Them

If there's one thing to take away from these etiquette tips, it should be this: Leave the place as clean as possible. The last thing you want is for your host to have to hire a cleaner after your stay.

On your last day, triple-check the bedroom and bathroom for your belongings. Strip the sheets and put them in a pillowcase at the foot of the bed. Do a quick wipe-down of the counters in the bathroom for toothpaste, extra cups, or loose hair. And, of course, return any items to their place, like a book you borrowed from the bookshelf.

Say Thank You

Thank your host three times: when you arrive, when you're about to leave, and once more after you've gone with a handwritten thank-you note . Here, an email won't cut it. Throw in a specific detail about how much fun you had doing a certain activity, how hard you laughed at a particular story, or how delicious a specific meal was. Finish with an offer to open up your own next time. For an optional but memorable thank you, pick up a fresh bouquet of flowers and leave them in a vase on the kitchen counter with your note before you leave. Otherwise, mail your card within two or three days of your visit.

Primary Care

Pain management, palliative care.

At Mobile Physician Services, our customized care teams provide patients with both comfort and familiarity as they work with a dedicated primary care provider and care coordinator to improve their health. Our physicians and staff take a proactive approach to preventive care, chronic disease management, and chronic illness support right where you live.

Each home visit includes an in-depth examination and individualized treatment plan, which is monitored and adjusted through routine follow-up visits. The primary care provider will deliver your ongoing care and will recommend to you specialty services as needed.

• Annual Wellness visits : This wellness visit allows your primary care provider to create or update your personalized prevention plan. This visit includes a review of your medical and social history related to your health and may include counseling about preventive services. This plan may help you to prevent or reduce the chances of future illness based on your current health and risk factors.
• New Illness Exams : When a new symptom or ailment arises, call us. Early indications of not feeling well could be a clue that you may be getting sick. A symptom in one part of the body may also be a sign of a problem in another part of the body. Moreover, unrelated symptoms that might seem minor on their own, could be warning signs of a more serious medical disease or condition. The new illness exam can be very brief or more detailed depending on your concerns and the provider’s findings.
• Follow-up Care: Involves a regular medical checkup, which may include a physical exam and laboratory testing. Follow-up care checks are a proactive way of assessing the potential for and preventing health problems from returning after treatment of a disease has ended or an illness has seemingly passed.
• Referral for Specialty Care : Referrals are the link between primary and specialty care. The referral coordination includes the documentation of patient care activities, the transfer of information, the inter-provider communication itself, and the integration of care services to the patient. Mobile Physician Services is a multi-specialty practice so many of these specialty referral services can be made seamlessly with little inconvenience or disruption to the patient and caregivers regular routines.
• Medication Management: Medication management is a treatment structure that ensures our patients are receiving optimal therapeutic results from their prescription medications, both in the short and long term. Our team’s goal is to mitigate medication noncompliance and monitor all prescriptions treatments so that drug interactions complement one another for the most optimal outcome for our patients.

The provider may be a physician, advanced practice nurse or a physician assistant. A dedicated care coordinator will also be assigned for each patient to help arrange comprehensive services and assist patients and their caregivers.

• Online Patient Portal: You and your designated caregiver, if you choose, will be able to connect with your provider through a convenient, safe and secure environment which allows access to your health records and a way to communicate with our staff in a timely manner.
• Telephone Assistance : On call providers are available 24/7 weekdays and weekends.

Our psychiatry team specializes in the diagnosis and management of mental, emotional and behavioral disorders. They carefully evaluate each patient to develop an individualized treatment plan to improve the patient’s overall mental and physical well-being.

• Depression : Depression is a common and often serious medical illness that negatively affects how you may feel, the way you may think, and how you may act. Depression can cause feelings of sadness, despair and hopelessness, which may lead to a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed.
• Anxiety : Intense, excessive, and persistent worry and fear about everyday common situations. The worry or anxiety could make you feel fatigued, irritable, and interfere with your regular sleep habits.
• Dementia : An overall term that is used to describes a collection of symptoms related to an individual’s decline in memory or other thinking skills. It may be severe enough to diminish a person’s ability to perform everyday common activities. The effects of dementia can negatively influence your memory, thinking and social abilities.
• Phobias : A phobia is when you experience excessive panicking or an irrational fear reaction to a situation. If you have a phobia, you may experience a deep sense of dread or fright when you encounter the source of your fear. The fear may be a certain place, situation, object, animal or even another person.
• Behavioral disorders : Attention deficit, hyperactivity, bipolar, learning, defiant or conduct disorders are all examples of complaints that may have a detrimental impact on a person’s interpersonal relationships with family, friends, and co-workers.

Our team can provide behavioral counselling and medical therapy, when appropriate, to help a patient feel better about themselves and to assist them with better coping and managing their condition.

Our wound care specialists have been trained in the attention and treatment of all types of acute and chronic wounds. They have skill and experience in wound debridement and wound care procedures – managing chronic, non-healing wounds and infections, with a demonstrated care that fosters healing… right in the patient’s own home.

We specialize in serving homebound patients who may also be bed-bound or have difficulty in walking or moving around. As a result, immobility compression sores develop at pressure points on the body when the weight of an immobilized individual rests continuously on a firm surface, such as a mattress or wheel chair. Often these same patients are on oxygen or have high-risk medical conditions which makes it an even more challenging and stressful effort for them to travel to a doctor’s office for an appointment. Thus, the necessity for in home care and treatment.

Wounds that benefit from specialized wound care techniques include:

• Diabetic foot wounds and ulcers
• Post-surgical wounds
• Traumatic wounds caused by injury
• Arterial and vein stasis caused by lack of circulation
• Immobility pressure sores. (Bed sores from stillness)

We work closely with home health agencies to provide ongoing care and monitoring of patient’s wounds.

Our board-certified podiatrists treat foot pain, wounds, and more. Treatments may include but are not limited to treating conditions of the lower extremities which could hinder mobility.

• We will review each patients’ medical history to evaluate the condition of the feet, ankle or lower leg
• Carry out a diagnosis on the feet and lower legs through examination and medical tests
• Order physical therapy when deemed necessary
• Treat wounds of the lower extremities using various wound care modalities. This may include debridement to improve the healing potential
• Promote prevention, health & well being, the treatment and management of the foot and related problems, disability, deformity, and the pedal complications of chronic diseases for the elderly
• Prescribe and fit prosthetic appliances such as diabetic shoe inserts and evaluate for bracing if necessary
• Refer patients to other specialists for treatment, including conditions such as diabetes or arthritis
• Advise patients on ways to prevent future leg problems and increase speed of recovery
• Monitor the recovery progress of patients to determine the need for change in treatment

We know it’s not always easy to leave home to get the care you need for your eyes. Our optometrists bring state-of-the-art diagnostic eye equipment and technology to your home – making it much easier for you to get the vision care you need.

During a visit, your doctor will exam each eye for signs of serious issues such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and detached retinas, among other conditions.

Receiving regular eye exams regardless of the state of your vision can help detect serious eye problems at their earliest stages ─ when they are most treatable. During an eye exam, your doctor will observe and evaluate the health and condition of the blood vessels in your retina, which can be good indicators of the health of your blood vessels throughout the rest of your body.

• Comprehensive eye exams : This exam goes beyond a simple vision screening. A comprehensive eye exam includes a host of tests in order to do a complete evaluation of the health of your eyes and your vision.
• Annual retina exams : A retinal exam allows your doctor to evaluate the back of your eye, including the retina, the optic disk and the underlying layer of blood vessels that supply the retina.
• Eyeglass fittings : A prescription works best when your eyeglasses are properly fitted. Improper fitting may cause pinching, distorted vision, headaches, and even dizziness. Our doctors will make sure your prescription lenses and frames are working together for you.
• Diabetic eye exams : Diabetes does not have to lead to vision loss. Taking an active role in managing your diabetes can go a long way in curbing later complications. Regular eye exams, good management of your blood sugar and blood pressure, along with early intervention for vision problems can help prevent vision loss caused by diabetic retinopathy. Retinopathy is caused by damage to the blood vessels of the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye.
• Refractions: This test is given as part of your routine eye examination. It is often referred to as a vision test. This test assists your eye doctor in measuring you for the exact lens prescription you will need.
• Eye injuries: Eye trauma could be the result of a sudden blow to the eye. It may cause the eye to suddenly compress and retract which could cause damage to your eye and the surrounding tissue. Even if the injury may seem minor, all eye injuries should be furthered examined by a doctor for possible more serious and underlying injuries.
• Eye infections: The most common eye infection is conjunctivitis, also known as pink-eye. An eye infection can happen in almost any part of your eye, including your eye lid, cornea and optic nerve. Symptoms of eye infections may include redness, itching, swelling, discharge, pain, or problems with vision. Always consult with your doctor before treating, as recommended actions are contingent on the cause of the infection.
• Low-vision exams: A low vision exam is different from a normal eye exam. This functional-vision assessment determines how specific visual impairments affects your ability to perform everyday activities. The exam’s results assist your doctor in prescribing management tools and medications to better enhance and manage your remaining vision.

Pain management is the process of providing medical care that alleviates or reduces pain. Pain management is a subspecialty of general medicine employing an interdisciplinary approach to ease the suffering and improve the quality of life of those living with chronic pain by using a combination of pain medications, joint and muscles injections, and physical therapy techniques.

A pain management specialist is a provider with advanced training in diagnosing and treating pain. Our pain management specialists treat pain stemming from a variety of different causes, whether it’s neuropathic pain or headache, or the result of injury, a surgical procedure, cancer or another illness.

Palliative care is an approach to the holistic care of patients, including family and caregivers, to improve the quality of their lives after the diagnosis of a chronic debilitating disease or life-limiting illness that may cause a host of complaints.

Palliative care can begin at diagnosis and continue to be offered while the patient is continuing active treatment through different phases of their life limiting condition. Palliative care is for any patient with a chronic illness who is experiencing a decreased quality of life because of symptoms related to their illness or treatment, like renal dialysis, oxygen therapy or chemotherapy. The care is provided by a specially-trained team of doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other specialists who work together to provide an extra layer of support to the patient and their caregivers.

Palliative care can help in symptom control including not only pain, but nausea, weakness, shortness of breath, fatigue and weight loss at any time during their diseases, not only at the end of life.

Here's Where You Can Visit The House From Home Alone

For all of the "Home Alone" fans who want to personally visit the house connected with the 1990 classic film, the time may be now. And as  House Beautiful  reports, this Winnetka, Illinois property is widely considered to be an art and real estate attraction for film fans. As IMBd notes, Chris Columbus directed the film, and John Hughes wrote the film. Stars include Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, and Daniel Stern. Given the film's 1990 release, cinematic spin-offs, and ubiquity during the 1990s, it stands to reason that many visitors and fans are members of the Millennial generation. The Pew Research Center defines Millennials as people who were born between 1981 to 1996. But, while scores of fans whose childhoods reflected the 1990s imagined themselves as protagonist Kevin McAllister, played by actor Macaulay Culkin, these contemporary adults can physically visit the brick and shuttered two-story home made famous by this film provided that they are willing to travel to the Midwest.

According to Trip Advisor , many people do visit the home. In fact, visiting the "Home Alone" house currently holds the top spot on a list of 12 noteworthy things to do in the general Winnetka, Illinois area. Additional preferred activities include visits to lagoons, woods, parks, a natural trail, and boating. In the Winnetka community, the "Home Alone" house is considered both a point of interest and a landmark, as Trip Advisor reports. 

About the home and area

With respect to the "Home Alone" house, the structure is indeed an architectural beauty. This two-story house boasts different lovely elements, including a striped, red brick exterior with complementary deep-toned shutters and crisp, white trim details. In front of the house, lush landscaping includes trees, shrubs, and flowers. This landscaping leads up to a multi-step entryway linking the pavement to space before the detailed home door. The property is also enclosed by a gate and physically located at 671 Lincoln Avenue in Winnetka, IL 60093, per Trip Advisor .

For many locals, the village of Winnetka holds reverence for a variety of reasons. In particular, Winnetka is appreciated because the village hugs Lake Michigan's North Shore, enabling waterfront access, as the Village of Winnetka explained. Additionally, the village includes tree-dotted streets, sandy beaches, well-regarded schools, and parks and recreational facilities. With an 1869 founding date, the town also holds a name derived from a Native American word that reportedly translates to beautiful land.

At HomeLight, our vision is a world where every real estate transaction is simple, certain, and satisfying. Therefore, we promote strict  editorial integrity in each of our posts.

Whether you’re actively shopping for a new home or just curious about what different neighborhoods have to offer, there’s no better way to start your research than by attending open houses. Open houses are excellent tools that serve many purposes: finding a house you’d like to buy, dipping your toes into the housing market to see what you like, or to understand what your money can get you in the area you are looking to buy.

Open houses are nothing to be scared of, and they can be excellent learning experiences, but if you’ve never gone to an open house before, you might be nervous! We’ll walk you through the process and teach you how to go to an open house like someone who does it every weekend.

Ready to start shopping for a home?

A top-rated agent can help you negotiate a great deal, spot red flags, and introduce you to homes that best suit your needs. Find an amazing real estate agent in your area using HomeLight today.

Step 1: Know why you’re going in (and be in alignment)

There are many reasons why someone might attend an open house, and it’s important for you to understand why you are going.

Define your open house mission:

• Did you just move to a new area and want to look at what’s available with hopes to buy eventually?
• Are you looking in an area where you don’t currently live to see what types of homes are in that market?
• Are you a current homeowner who wants to see what’s trendy on the sales market?
• Are you looking for your forever home (or your “for now” home)?
• Maybe you’re just looking at homes that are similar to yours to get new design inspiration.

All of these are totally acceptable reasons to attend an open house, but you’ll want to make sure you’re clear in your own mind about what you’re hoping to get out of your open house experience — and that friends, partners, or family members attending with you are aware of your intentions and on the same page with you.

Step 2: Talk to an agent first if you’re interested in buying

If your open house goal isn’t to buy soon, then there is no reason to involve an agent — but otherwise, an agent can give you valuable insight about different homes that you can’t get elsewhere, and also help you access open houses you wouldn’t be able to find on your own.

Agents are people, too, and often, they know each other. Tell your agent what open houses you are planning on attending, and in many cases, they will be able to tell the agent listing the open house to expect you. This will show the seller that you are serious about buying and that you already have an agent representing you.

If you plan in advance, your agent may be able to attend the open house with you, if that’s what you want. If you see an open house while taking a walk and decide to go spontaneously, it’s unlikely that your agent can drop everything and come — but let them know that you went anyway.

Top Portland, Maine, agent Holly Mitchell , who has 13 years of open house experience, says, “If you are already working with an agent, it’s always great to see if your agent can meet you at the open house. If they can’t, always tell them where you’re going — and be specific, because your agent can reach out to the listing agent.”

Mitchell adds that you can always sign the guestbook with your agent’s name instead of your own: “If a buyer wants to attend but they don’t want to have all their information out there to get emails or calls, it’s perfectly appropriate to sign your agent’s name. That way, the seller’s agent can follow up directly with your agent.”

Step 3: Get preapproved for a mortgage if you want to buy

This is another step that you can go ahead and skip if you are not looking to buy at the moment — but if you are, then getting preapproved for a mortgage while you are still in the process of attending open houses will ensure you’re only spending time touring homes that you can actually afford to buy.

If you do get preapproved for a mortgage, but you’re not totally sure what you want, it is a great idea to attend open houses that are within the price you are approved for to see what you will get for your money in the area (or areas) you are looking at.

Step 4: Decide how to organize your notes

No matter why you’re going to an open house, you probably want it to be a learning experience of some kind, and in order to remember what you learned, you’ll want to take notes.

There’s no doubt that the homes will start to all blur together if you don’t have a way to keep track of your experiences. Take notes, photos, and videos if you like, and be sure to highlight the specificities of the home that make it stand out.

Consider utilizing a house-hunting checklist or another way to document what you loved or didn’t love about each home — and which was which — to keep it all straight.

Step 5: Confer with experts about common red flags

When you are attending an open house, whether or not you are interested in buying right now, looking for potential damage will give you a greater understanding of the home’s price and help you know what red flags to look out for. Local real estate agents, home inspectors, and home contractors can help give you an inside scoop on common issues with homes in your area and their signs.

The big ones to check for typically include:

• Leaks under sinks, sticky windows and doors
• Cracks in ceilings and walls
• Water stains on walls and ceilings
• Evidence of mold or pests.

Research any common issues found in homes in the area that you are looking to buy, and find some folks who can educate you at a high level about how to find them. An experienced top agent is your best initial resource to spot red flags.

Step 6: Find the open houses you want to attend

Strolling through neighborhoods where you’re interested in finding open houses can make for a fun Saturday, but it’s not the most effective way of finding open houses in your area.

To find all the best open houses, you can look online at your local MLS (multiple listing service ), on real estate platforms, or posted on flyers or signs around town, especially at local real estate agencies.

Popular days are Saturdays and Sundays, so keep your weekend afternoons free if you are looking to attend several open houses.

Step 7: Plan your open house day

When you’ve got a list of houses that you’re excited to tour, you’ll need to plan your open house day.

Most open houses are only open for certain time windows, and if you want to hit several, you’ll need to plan which you’re attending first, and account for traffic and travel time, too.

Be sure to pay close attention to the time windows so you won’t be overbooking yourself and miss open houses that might just be the one!

Step 8: Be prepared to sign in

It is standard practice for open houses to require attendees to sign in. If you think about it, you’d probably want a record of any complete strangers who happened to have access to your house if the roles were reversed!

Many sign-in sheets will include fields for an email address, which you can withhold, but be ready to write down your real name and show an ID.

As we noted earlier, if you are interested in buying, you can also put down your agent’s name and email so the listing agent can get in contact with them.

Step 9: Know how to behave

There is a lot of literature out there about open house etiquette , so we’ll just cover the basics here.

• Don’t crowd other buyers, and don’t overcrowd or take up too much of the seller’s agent’s time.
• Don’t be a creep! Opening closets and doors to check out storage space is usually fine, but don’t start rummaging through drawers, papers, or personal items.
• Always ask before taking pictures, and follow house rules. Open house rules can include requests like taking off your shoes, wearing booties, or wearing a mask if asked.
• It’s common for agents to provide refreshments at an open house, but don’t expect to be fed, and don’t bring in outside food.
• Most importantly, consider how you would like people to act if you were hosting an open house, and be respectful of the seller’s wishes.

Step 10: Ask lots of questions

Agents are there to help, and even if you aren’t actively shopping, they typically don’t mind answering your questions , so ask away. After all, this house might be a great fit for someone you know.

Agents know details about the house that might not be visible even a thorough glance. Mitchell says, “Agents will have property disclosures, and they should have copies available at open houses that you can look at while you walk around the home to learn about it.”

This property disclosure ( which isn’t required in every state ) will have many details about the house, including information about the age of systems in the home, the condition of the roof, any known plumbing issues, and much more.

Get Your List of Open House Questions!

When you visit an open house, take this list of 60 questions with you so that you can decide if the home is a hit or a miss.

Enter your email address below :

Step 11: Don’t disclose too much about yourself!

If you are looking to buy, telling the listing agent at the open house your exact budget and why this is the perfect house for you is likely going to backfire if you get to the negotiating stage — so be polite but noncommittal about your opinions, and only talk in general price ranges, not specifics.

Unlike renting, where showings can feel competitive, buying requires a bit more of a poker face to get the right price. Also, don’t get stressed and start disclosing information about how keen you are to buy based on the number of attendees at an open house.

Remember, people go to open houses for all kinds of reasons, including just for fun. Rest assured that even a crowded open house might not get swamped with offers, though it does depend on the market.

Step 12: Wait until you leave to discuss the house with fellow attendees

You don’t want the agent to report back to the seller that you loved or hated the place, so wait until you’re in more private environments to debrief with your friends and fellow attendees. Go have a latté and mull over your pros and cons in private!

Whatever your open house needs currently are, don’t be afraid to head in. As long as you are respectful to the seller’s wishes and you stay mindful of the listing agent’s time, you’ll have a great opportunity to add to your home research. Partner with an experienced buyer’s agent as you explore the market. And you never know — you may end up closing on that home after the opening!

Visit the Home Alone House in Winnetka

It’s hard to believe that the Home Alone movie opened in theaters over 30 years ago. The 1990s hit is still a beloved movie that plays in homes every year during Christmas. With so much success, the Home Alone house in Winnetka still gets sightseers today. While you can’t tour the home, as it’s a personal residence, the home conjures up warm memories for everyone that sees it. Many who visit recreate the Kevin McAllister scream (the 8-year-old’s famous scene when he puts aftershave on his face).

The film was written and produced by John Hughes (who grew up in Chicago’s North Shore), and directed by Chris Columbus who later said that finding a house to fit his vision was not an easy task:

“We needed to cast a house that would work for the stunts and also a house that was visually appealing and, if this makes sense, warm and menacing at the same time. It’s the kind of house if you were a kid it would be fun to be left home alone… I wanted it to feel timeless.”

View this post on Instagram Home Alone 🏠 📍Winnetka, Illinois A post shared by Travel Insider Magazine (@travelinsider) on Apr 17, 2020 at 1:56pm PDT

The sprawling Georgian 1920s home features beautiful red brick and is mostly unchanged from the movie on the exterior, except for an iron fence that surrounds the property. However, the interior has made several upgrades since the movie.

Here’s a look at then and now.

The 4,242 square-foot home features 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms and sold in 2012 for $1.585 million, a drop from the original asking price of $2.4 million. Old man Marley’s house from across the street also fared well after the success of the movie. It sold for $3 million in 2003.

Do You Need a Home Watcher? Here’s What One Could Do for You.

Hiring a local to keep an eye on your weekend house can give you peace of mind and keep small problems from becoming big headaches.

By Joanne Kaufman

Leslie Young has a message for new second-home owners: That house of yours isn’t going to look after itself.

Ms. Young, a longtime resident of Cape Elizabeth, Maine, a leafy town on the state’s southern coast, is well acquainted with some part-timers who tend to be on the scene in June, July and August, when the weather is at its best. When they close up their homes on or around Labor Day at the end of their rookie season, they look ahead to next summer, naïvely unaware of the damage that could soon be wrought by strong winds (power outages!), prolonged cold (frozen pipes!) and cracks in the foundation (hi, mice!).

This is where Ms. Young comes in. She is a home watcher, though she prefers the term “home check person.” “My husband and I have renovated two houses,” she said. “I know what to look for.”

For fees that range from $45 (for weekly service) to $51 (for twice-weekly visits), Ms. Young, a retired police officer, does reconnaissance on the exterior and interior of clients’ homes, going back to front and room to room to room to see if anything looks wrong or out of the ordinary. “I give them peace of mind,” she said. “If there’s an alarm at their house and it goes off, I’m just a phone call away.”

The job title is sufficiently vague that home watchers spend considerable time explaining it. They are not caretakers, property managers, house sitters or D.I.Y. experts. Though Ms. Young has been known to tighten latches and fix screens for clients, “I have to draw the line,” she said. “I don’t do A to Z. I don’t pump out basements.”

In the 20 minutes she spends at each property, Ms. Young collects mail, checks the furnace, scans walls for mold, finds the source when there’s a funky odor, makes sure the snowplow guy is doing his job, flushes the toilets and turns on the faucets in the sinks, bathtubs and showers.

“If you don’t run water through the pipes, you could get dry rot,” said Ms. Young, 56, who started her company, Hillway Home Watch, in 2017. She currently has 57 clients, more than half of whom are second-home owners.

When they leave town, some owners “want to turn the thermostat down to the 40s, and I tell them they should keep it at least in the 50s, if not the 60s,” Ms. Young continued. “You need a buffer of warmth in case the furnace breaks down because if the temperature in the house drops enough, the pipes can freeze.”

And a home watcher is not to be confused with a licensed building inspector. “You’re looking for obvious issues,” said Chris Long, 63, a Mohegan Lake, N.Y.-based home watcher (though he prefers the term “home watch professional”) and a former plumber.

“I’m not opening electrical panels,” added Mr. Long, who has three dozen clients. “I’m looking for broken windows and doors.” He monitors properties ranging in size from a 900-square-foot condo to an 8,000-square-foot house, with fees of $50 to $275 per visit.

Mr. Long, like Ms. Young, furnishes clients with a post-check report accompanied by photos. “People love to see pictures of their house,” Ms. Young said.

If there’s a problem, clients hear it fast. “I phone the homeowner and say, ‘This isn’t going to be a good news phone call,’” she said.

“I’ve had a lot of furnaces go down,” Ms. Young continued. “Two winters ago, I went to a house, and the glass had shattered on the all-season sun porch. At first I thought it was an intruder, but then I saw the glass had broken from the inside.” (It turned out the glass was faulty.)

Cameras, remote temperature monitors and systems like Google Nest are all well and good, but they give people a false sense of security, said Jack Luber, the founder and executive director of the National Home Watch Association, a 15-year-old, 600-member organization that provides training, resources and accreditation to people who want to work in the field. (But so far, it’s an unregulated industry. Would-be home watchers don’t need to demonstrate mastery of specific skills, submit to a background check or flash a certificate before they can get a client’s house key or passcode.)

Sensors may alert you to a problem, Mr. Luber said, “but if you’re in New York and the house is in Naples, Fla., what are you going to do about it?” And, he added, “what happens to all those devices when the electricity goes out or batteries die?” Then there’s the fact that video cameras don’t have a sense of smell.

The tools of the trade, according to Mr. Luber, include a high-power flashlight, a hygrometer (for checking relative humidity), a stepladder, a carbon monoxide detector, wasp and insect spray, a fire extinguisher, booties (to avoid tracking dirt into a client’s house), trash bags (for disposing of mouse droppings and dead mice) and masks.

Some home watchers also come equipped with an assortment of lightbulbs and batteries.

David Koster, of Home & Boat Watchdog in Rehoboth Beach, Del., has always been the responsible person of a group. “When my neighbors go out of town, they give me their house key and tell me to hold on to it even after they return,” he said. “I have quite a few keys.” Mr. Koster, 52, a portrait photographer, started his side business watching second homes in 2016 and now has a dozen clients.

Mr. Koster estimates that it takes at least half an hour to get through the two-dozen-plus items on his checklist. He scans roofs for missing shingles; the HVAC system for leaves and ice; walls, from floor to ceiling, for leaks and mold. He also photographs envelopes that appear to contain bills and sends the pictures to the clients for direction. On one notable occasion, he encountered a squatter at the house of a client. “After I confirmed with the owner that no one was supposed to be there, I called the police,” said Mr. Koster, whose fees, based on house size, range from $100 to $300 for a weekly visit.

Some home watchers offer additional services — watering plants, taking clients’ cars out for a spin to keep the tires from going flat, being on site to accept a delivery — for additional fees. “If people are having a kitchen renovation done, I can sign off on the contractor’s work,” Mr. Long said. “I have 47 years’ experience in the building industry, so there’s nothing I haven’t seen.”

The concierge offerings are just a sideline, of course. Job 1 is keeping a steady eye on the house. “Anything can happen in an hour, let alone a month,” Mr. Luber said. “But if there’s a water leak or mold or a pest infestation, we’re going to see it.”

“There might be an insurance claim,” he added. “Hopefully it will be a lot less because we caught the problem at an early stage.”

Biden announces plans to address Baltimore port closure and help workers after deadly bridge collapse

After visiting the site of the deadly Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse on Friday, President Joe Biden said that his administration is taking swift action to try to ease the disruption at Baltimore's port and help workers and small businesses affected by the port closure.

After an aerial tour of the site, Biden said that the federal government will provide more than $8 million in grant funds to make infrastructure improvements to the port at Baltimore's Sparrows Point — an area unaffected by the bridge collapse — so it can take on more ships.

The president also announced that his administration would provide grants to workers affected by the pause in port operations and said the Small Business Administration would offer low-interest loans for small businesses impacted by the incident last week.

"I’m here to say your nation has your back," Biden said. "The damage is devastating and our hearts are still breaking," he continued, noting that six workers who were fixing potholes on the bridge lost their lives.

"I’ve come here to grieve with you," he said, flanked by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and other Maryland and Baltimore officials. "It’s not the same, but I know a little bit about what it’s like to lose a piece of your soul."

Biden reiterated that he wants Congress to pass funding to cover the entire cost of constructing a new bridge. He also said that, so far, two small channels have been cleared for ships helping to clear the wreckage and noted the tentative timeline for reopening the port announced Thursday by the Army Corps of Engineers.

The Army Corps of Engineers expects “to open a limited access channel for barge container service and some vessels that move automobiles and farm equipment by the end of April” and “restore the port to normal capacity by the end of May,” the White House said.

In addition to the aerial tour, Biden received an operational update on response efforts from the Coast Guard and Army Corps of Engineers and was expected to meet personally with the families of the six workers who died.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed early on the morning of March 26 when a cargo ship crashed into a support pillar. The remains of two people who were killed have been recovered, four others are presumed dead and two people who fell into the water survived.

Biden addressed the disaster during remarks in the hours following the collapse, saying that the White House would send “all the federal resources they need” and that they would rebuild the port. He also said that he intended for the federal government to pay the entire cost of reconstructing the bridge.

Director of the Office of Management and Budget Shalanda Young sent a letter to congressional leaders on Friday asking them to authorize "a 100 percent Federal cost share for rebuilding the bridge."

“To the people of Baltimore, I want to say: We’re with you. We’re going to stay with you as long as takes. And like [Moore] said, you’re Maryland tough, you’re Baltimore strong, and we’re going to get through this together,” Biden said during his remarks last week. “And I promise: We’re not leaving.”

The National Economic Council has also convened the administration's Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force to coordinate federal efforts to support affected industries in the aftermath of the collapse, the White House announced last week.

“We are much better equipped to mitigate supply chain disruptions than we were just a few years ago, thanks to increased coordination across the supply chain and new efforts to strengthen both our physical and digital infrastructure,” Buttigieg said in a statement.

Also last week, the Department of Transportation announced $60 million in emergency relief funds to go toward rebuilding the bridge. The White House said it would serve as a "down payment" for initial costs.

In 2023, the Baltimore port near the bridge, a key shipping hub and source of jobs, “handled a record 52.3 million tons of foreign cargo, worth $80 billion,” Moore announced in February. The port also generated more than 15,000 direct jobs, “with nearly 140,000 jobs linked to port activities,” he said in the statement.

Brittany Cartwright's son is caught in the middle of his parents' separation.

The Valley star, 35, spoke with PEOPLE in a new interview, giving an update on her home life since announcing that she and husband Jax Taylor , 44, are taking some time away from each other. The estranged couple is parents to son Cruz, 2.

"He's still at the house," Cartwright confirms, referring Taylor and the home they share in the Valley of Los Angeles. "And I've been staying in different Airbnbs for months at a time.

"Trust me, I told him he could stay in the Airbnb that I pay for," she continues. "But he doesn't want to leave the house. So, it's tough. But I still go back to the house whenever [Taylor isn't] there."

The reality TV star notes that if Taylor is out of the house, she'll go back. "That is my house, you know," Cartwright adds. "So that part is very weird. But the space is needed, big time."

Elsewhere in the interview, Cartwright spoke of how she and Taylor are prioritizing their son amid their separation .

"We're doing a really good job going back and forth," Cartwright says of their co-parenting. "And I'll also take him to the house and play and we'll swim one day or have him play on his play set and we'll do different things."

"Jax will take him to Sky Zone, or he'll take him to the park one day. But that's the most important thing. So I think it's honestly been better because we aren't fighting in front of him. And for me, I think that's what is most important, right now. Because that's why I had to get him out of that situation in the first place."

In February, Cartwright and Taylor  announced that they were taking some time apart , with Cartwright sharing the news on their joint podcast  When Reality Hits .

As she explained that she and her former husband are currently living separately, Cartwright said that she is most concerned about their son Cruz.

"I'm taking it one day at a time," Cartwright said of the separation. "I don't know what the future holds, but right now my focus is on being the best mom to Cruz and I love you guys. Pray for us and everything will be just fine. We’re good."
