Hints from Heloise: Sometimes, relatives don’t want family heirlooms ... until they’ve been sold
Dear Heloise: I was at a loss about what to do with the things I’ve collected over the years that my kids didn’t want. My wedding china was given to me by my parents. It was beautiful, but none of my children wanted it. I had lead crystal vases, wine glasses, and bowls hand cut from Ireland that no one wanted. I also had handmade Persian rugs, antique furniture that predates the American Civil War, and oil paintings of my mother and grandmother. But even though I offered these things to my children and other relatives, I had no takers.

Montana town’s economy withers due to lack of affordable housing
A slice of paradise in Montana is suffering economic disruption, but it isn’t a result of any political battles or environmental change. Instead, Seeley Lake’s problem lies in its lack of a centralized sewer system. The Missoula County community’s reluctance to come up with a plan to replace its septic system means no affordable housing can be built for working people. While high-end septic systems can service multi-family dwellings, local officials explain that they’re not cost effective for the type of housing developers would seek to build in the area. The solution? Only a sewer system will do. That lack of accommodation means Seeley Lake’s biggest employer -- Pyramid Mountain Lumber -- can’t attract enough workers to continue, and is closing the family-owned business which has been operating for 75 years. "To make the announcement to the crew was probably the toughest thing; I've got friends, family, you know, generations, good friends that work here. I had to tell them we're going to shut the doors," Todd Johnson, a third-generation lumber mill worker whose grandfather started the mill in 1948, told ABC News.
