Problem: Article: Dry skin can be very itchy, especially for older adults whose skin may be thinner. If your itchy feet have dry, flaky skin, use a daily moisturizing cream, lotion, or ointment on your feet every day. Rub it into your heel, sole, sides and tops of your feet, and between your toes. Look for a product with a petrolatum base, which can soften and moisturize even dry, cracked skin. Soak your feet in cool water, or place a cool wet cloth against the itchy areas of your feet. Cool water can be soothing to irritated, itchy skin.You can do this daily, or even several times daily - but if soaking often, be sure to moisturize your skin afterwards. If you’re using a cloth for your feet, reserve it just for that purpose in case you’re dealing with a fungus. Oatmeal baths have traditionally been used to soothe itchy skin. Add two cups of ground oatmeal and one cup of baking soda to your bath, and soak your feet for a natural itch remedy. This safe and gentle remedy can be used daily. Soak your feet in salt water to relieve aching and potentially help with itching and irritation. Dissolve 2 teaspoons of salt for each pint of warm water you use. Use a shallow pan or a few inches of water in the bathtub - enough to cover the tops of your feet. Soak for 5-10 minutes.  See how salt water works for you. It may help, but the salt could also worsen any itching by drying out the skin even more. You can do this hourly until your itching improves. Salt can dry out your skin, so rinse your feet in cool water and moisturize your feet after your salt soak. Itchiness can be caused by even a mild allergic reaction to something you’re wearing or a product you’re using. Try making one small change at a time to identify your trigger – switch laundry detergent, change your soap, and wear only natural cotton socks. If you can identify what is causing your itching, avoid your trigger in the future. OTC antihistamines may relieve itching that’s caused by allergic reactions.
Summary: Moisturize dry skin. Use cool water. Try an oatmeal soak. Experiment with a saltwater soak. Identify and avoid irritants.

Problem: Article: To prevent bark and wood pieces from falling off the sides of the stump, seal the bark with a clear gloss finishing spray. Apply the spray around the sides of the stump from top to bottom. Place the stump in a dry spot outside, such as in your garage or a work shed, and let it dry overnight. This will give the sealer time to set so the stump is ready for use. If you want to elevate the stump and use it as a side table, you may attach legs to the bottom using screws and a power drill. Get 3 thin metal legs, such as hairpin legs, and drill them into the bottom of the stump for a more polished look. Alternatively, you can skip the legs and use the stump as is as a side table in your home for a more rustic look.
Summary: Apply sealer spray to the bark. Allow the sealer to dry overnight. Attach metal legs to the bottom of the stump, if desired.

Problem: Article: Some legal matters may be easily settled on your own without a lawyer.  This could save you a substantial amount of money.  This may not be a good option for every situation, but a close evaluation of your particular legal case can help you determine whether a lawyer is necessary at all.   Representing yourself in court without a lawyer's help is referred to as “pro se” or “pro per” in some jurisdictions. If there isn't much money involved in your situation, try settling the matter on your own outside of court.  You may be able to come to an agreement with some friendly phone calls or emails laying out your case and stressing that avoiding court would be advantageous for everyone involved. You can theoretically represent yourself in court on any issue, even if it is more serious or involves more money. If you decide to represent yourself in a substantial court case, try finding a good legal "DIY" handbook, such as those published by Nolo Press. You may be able to buy such books cheaply online (secondhand), or your local library may have them available to check out. Some libraries even have legal forms and instructions for use in their local courts. Small claims courts exist for a reason. It helps people have their day in court to resolve small disputes. In small claims courts, most people are not represented by attorneys. The precise rules and requirements vary by jurisdiction or geographic area.  This option is a less expensive way to pursue a court case in which you represent yourself.  There is generally a limit on the monetary amount allowable in small claims court, which can be up to a few thousand dollars. The filing fees typically range from $30 to $100. There are a variety of resources in every state that can assist a person who is representing himself or herself in court. All of these resources may be available to you at no or low cost. These resources may include the following:  Books Court forms and instructions Legal self-help centers Legal hotlines Self-help legal clinics Law school clinics. Typically, self-help legal clinics and centers are limited to civil law issues, and do not address criminal law issues. If you are facing criminal charges, you will be entitled to have a  public defender appointed to you at public expense if you are unable to hire a lawyer and you are facing the potential for incarceration. Many courts have established legal self-help centers or provide pro se forms and instructions for people who do not have attorneys. For instance, Maricopa County, Arizona, runs an extensive self-service legal center in their court system, which provides information, forms, and instructions for people who are unrepresented by attorneys in a variety of situations. If your jurisdiction has these services available, you may be able to use them to get the information that you need and file the appropriate documents in court that are necessary to resolve your legal matter. You can search online or in your telephone book for legal hotline numbers. For instance, many Texas bar associations operate legal hotlines for victims of domestic violence and senior citizens. Some county courthouses, bar associations, or legal aid organizations operate self-help legal clinics. These programs may allow you to ask questions in person, by phone, or online. They also may give you assistance in filling out legal forms or other documents. Some of the types of cases that these clinics may handle involve uncontested divorces, child support modifications, and landlord/tenant disputes. In these clinics, law students, who are supervised closely by an experienced attorney, provide free legal services to individuals in the community. You may need to have a low household income in order to qualify for clinic services. Law school clinics often address legal issues such as landlord/tenant disputes, domestic violence, and family law.
Summary: Consider whether you need a lawyer. Determine whether small claims court is an option for you. Explore available self-help legal resources. Determine if your court has a legal self-help center or pro se forms. Find out if your county or state operates a legal hotline, which provides legal advice for people facing certain legal issues. See if you have access to a self-help legal clinic. Check out your local law school to see if they operate any legal clinics.
