But, Ithink they're trying, not toosincerely or successfully, buttrying,\" Banks, 52, said in a Zoominterview.\"The other thing that's going on isthat, secretly, Les is actually veryclose to an incrediblebreakthrough that he's not sharingwith his wife at all.\"Succession Emmy winnerMacfadyen added: \"That makeshim think everything's going to beOK. Once that happens,everything will be fine.\"\"But I have no idea it's evenclose,\" Banks countered.\"I'm just completely off in myown world at this point. So, I liketo say that this show waspresented to us as sort of The Warof the Roses, if one of them wassix inches tall and, then, this is acouple in competition that needsto get back to partnership,\" sheadded. \"That's where you will findthem, hopefully, by the end.\"Banks said she sees Lindy'sminiaturization as a metaphor forhow inconsequential she feels inLes' eyes.\"They're literally not living in thesame world and, not only that, he'smade her feel small anddiminished and like what shecares about doesn't matter to himand, so, now that feels even biggerand grander,\" she explained.\"I loved that whole idea of, 'We'regoing to make those feelingsliteral,' and the literalness of themis going to enhance everythingthat the audience is feeling for thiscouple.\"\"It will push them towardsresolving [their relationship] oneway or another,\" Macfadyennoted.\"It's like she becomes the crisisthat they have to deal with in themoment. They can't avoid it andput it off anymore,\" Banks said.\"And they've clearly beenavoiding repairing theirrelationship, but now they have torepair this, or she might be dead.\"Macfadyen thinks the show'sthemes will resonate with viewers.\"It's about family -- daughters,sons, fathers, mothers,\" he said.\"So much about my sense ofisolation and feeling small startedwith my mother and our icyrelationship and his father, youcome to find out, didn't validatehim in the way that his brothersgot validated,\" Banks said. \"It'ssort of about, 'How are we goingto break this series of traumas andnot pass it on to our owndaughter?' All of that is superrelatable stuff.\"\"There is also adjacent stuff likeego and ambition, and tech andscience,\" Macfadyen added.Because of their supposed sizediscrepancies, the actors didn'tactually film many of their scenestogether.The stars helped each otherprepare, however, and theircharacters' interactions wereflawlessly stitched together in theediting room.\"We would run scenes together,\"Macfadyen recalled.\"We read it. We sort of had arhythm that we understood fromeach other and then, we had thebenefit of, whoever went first inthe scene work, got to watch thevideo reference,\" Banks said.\"They would pull takes of his toshow me, 'This is what he did inthe master or the close- ups,' and,so, we could really sort of put itinto our mind's eye what I waslooking at, what my perspectivewas, how he read the lines and,then, we had wonderful readersthat studied what we did and sortof helped us do it when we werenot together, which was a lot ofthe time.\"One of Banks' favorite props fromthe show was a six-foot-tallHershey chocolate bar.\"It was actually edible and I got tonibble on that for days at a time,\"Banks said.\"I liked you being obliterated bythe water hose,\" Macfadyenquipped. \"That was justwonderful.\"\"Oh, that was so funny,\" Bankslaughed.The show also co-stars ZoeLister-Jones, O-T Fagbenle andSofia Rosinsky.By Karen ButlerMatthew Macfadyen and Elizabeth Banks star in thenew Peacock original series The Minature WifeFYI: Elizabeth BanksBornElizabeth MitchellFebruary 10, 1974 (age 52)Pittsfield, MassachusettsBanks is a big baseball fan.

Krofft's death, which came three years after the death of MartyKrofft, was announced on Instagram by his friend and business partner Kelly Killian. “The lastsix years of my life were devoted to him, and his to me,” Killian wrote. “In that time, he taughtme more than I could ever put into words — about the art of Hollywood, the magic of the stage,and the depth and complexity of human nature. I wish so very much that I had more time withhim.” TV fans of a certain age would long remember “H.R. Pufnstuf,” the live-action puppetseries with its cheerful theme song, the dragon who gave the show its name — and served asMayor of Living Island — and such memorable, supporting characters as the larcenous witchWilhelmina W. Witchiepoo, and her patented Vroom Broom. “H.R. Pufnstuf” only aired for 17episodes, in 1969, but lived on for decades in reruns and syndication. It ranked 27th in a 2007TV Guide poll of all-time cult favorites. Other Krofft productions included “Land of the Lost,”“Electra Woman and Dyna Girl” and “Pryor’s Place,” featuring comedian Richard Pryor. Theirchildren's shows were so far-flung at times that critics suspected the Kroffts were under theinfluence of drugs — allegations the brothers rejected — but they also oversaw such wholesomeprogramming as the “Donny & Marie,” the Osmonds' 1970s variety show. The Kroffts receiveda Daytime Emmy for lifetime achievement in 2018, and a Hollywood Walk of Fame star twoyears later.Puppeteers Sid Krofft, left, and Marty Krofft stand next to H.R.

www.hap2it.com April 16, 2026 HAPPENINGS Page 11Romania is full of surprises andwonderful people. And as youleave the capital of Bucharest, itgets even better. In the Romaniancountryside, the nation’s historyand traditional culture live on –vividly.A hard-fought past is evident inthe fortress-like churches scatteredthrough the central region ofTransylvania. In medieval times,big towns were well-protected, butsmaller villages were vulnerable toinvaders. So industrious Germansettlers, imported by the localoverlords to tame the wild frontier,fortified their churches.Today, most of Romania’s ethnicGermans are gone, havingemigrated in the late 19th centuryor fled to Germany after WorldWar II or after the fall ofcommunism in 1989. But theirlegacy lives on: Stepping insidethese churches feels like steppingback into medieval Germany.Decoration is humble, pews aresimple benches, and Bible quotesare in German.The whitewashed and ramshacklechurch of Viscri, hidden deep inthe Transylvanian hills, is one ofthe oldest (c. 1100). Wander through any village andpeek into family compounds. Eachone is marked with a huge,ceremonial wooden gateway – justbig enough for a hay-loaded horsecart to trot through. One of the most memorable sightsin Maramureș is the Merry (as in“joyful”) Cemetery. I’ve enjoyed avariety of graveyards throughoutEurope, but I can safely say thatthis Romanian one is one of akind. In 1935, a local woodcarver– inspired by a long-forgottentradition – began filling thiscemetery with a forest of vividmemorials. Each one comes with awhimsical poem and a painting ofthe departed doing something heor she loved.Although the cemetery is dubbed\"merry,\" many of the poems aredownright morose. Tales of younglives cut short by tragic accidents,warriors mowed down in theprime of life, or people whosimply never found happiness, area reminder that death, and life, aresometimes nothing to be cheerfulabout. Even if you can’t read thepoems, the images speak volumes:weaver … loved bikes …television repairman … soldier …hit by a car … struck by lightning… nagging mother-in-law.And yet, each memorial is apoignant celebration of individuallives, a chronicle of villagehistory, and an irreverentraspberry in the face of death. Andit’s all painted a cheery blue tomatch the heavens where the soulsare headed.Traveling in the Romaniancountryside, you'll find bothevocative reminders of the pastand time-warp lifestyles,seemingly oblivious to the modernworld that's the norm elsewhere.More than anywhere else I'vefound in Europe, this is a placewhere, when you slow down andlet adventures unfold, they will. InRomania, you'll find that ratherthan famous sights, it's the happyand unpredictable serendipity thatleaves you with lifelong memoriesas souvenirs.By Rick StevesFindingserendipity inRomaniaʼscountrysideThe European Union hasimplemented a new digital bordersystem for those traveling withoutan EU passport, and it's likely tocause long lines at airports andborder crossings. The newEntry/Exit System requires nonEU passport holders who don'tneed a visa to enter -- includingAmericans -- to present theirpassports, give fingerprints andtake a photo when entering theirfirst EU country if they are stayingup to 90 days. Ireland and Cyprusare not participating.They will also have to answer afew questions about their visit,such as how long they're staying,where and if they will haveenough money. People with aUnited States passport would haveto do this upon landing at theirfirst EU airport. After that, theirpassport will be enough for entryaround Europe for three years.Many airports and bordercrossings have set up electronickiosks that allow users to scanthemselves in, but the wait couldbe long. Before this, non-EUmembers could move freely acrossborders without stopping.A new visa-waiver system calledEuropean Travel Information andAuthorization System is coming atthe end of 2026. No date has beenannounced yet. This will allowtravelers to apply to register theirinformation before their trips andlink it to their passports. ETIASwill cost $23.44 per person andwill also last three years. Thoseunder 18 and over 70 will not haveto pay.At Dover, England, ferrypassengers have had to use thekiosks a mile away from the ferry,the BBC reported. People willhave to take buses that will drivethem to the ferry.Eurostar, which runs trainsthrough the English ChannelTunnel, has installed 49 EESkiosks in its London St. Pancrasterminal.

Page 12 HAPPENINGS April 16, 2026 www.hap2it.comRecently it has occurred to me thatI yawned as I read the subject linein my inbox, this email courtesy ofJewel-Osco, my local grocerystore.“We love hearing from ourcustomers!”Like anyone who has made arecent retail purchase, be itkumquats, hemorrhoid cream or acaramel macchiato, I’ve grownweary of the barrage of “How didwe do?/Give us your feedback/Tellus about your experience!” emailsthat bombard my inbox mereseconds after slapping down mycredit card. I have written about itin this column, joked about itonstage in my stand-up act, andlearned to assemble all of thesebreathless requests together in anemail folder so I can rid them ofmy life with a simple “delete all”click.But this one stood out, for it notonly asked me to rate my lastJewel-Osco shopping experience,but items I purchased.Specifically, it asked me to write areview of an 8-ounce package ofmedium shredded Lucernecheddar cheese. That’s a difficult opportunity toturn down, considering I am ajournalist who specializes in thewritten word, and a comedian whoworks, at most, one hour a night. Iopened my laptop, determined tomake this review one for the ageswhile, simultaneously, insertingenough sarcasm so the marketingteam at Jewel-Osco realizes theludicrous nature of their requestsand they can unsubscribe me.First I was asked how many starsthe cheese deserved. Although Iam in the minority, I am anenthusiastic five star proponent. Ifmy Uber driver delivers me to thecorrect location without collidingwith anything, or anybody? Fivestars!If my restaurant meal did notresult in food poisoning, and myserver wrote it down and deliveredit correctly? Five stars. I had only used the cheese oncewhen the email arrived. Thinkingback, I added it to a morningomelet, which definitely enhancedthe flavor. Cheese tends to do that,as any chef knows, particularly thefive-star variety.Only the Highest Rating for This CheeseI clicked “five stars,” knowingwhat was coming next.“What did you like about theproduct? What could beimproved?” asked Jewel-Osco.I decided to tackle the firstquestion while the omelet was stillfresh in my head.“What impressed me most aboutthe cheese was the uniformity ofeach ‘shred,’” I began. “So often I open similar cheesepackages, only to find bits ofcheese that are misshapen, lackingin the pale orange color oneexpects from cheese and clearlynot worthy of existing alongsidetheir fellow cheese remnants.“This has caused great duress inthe past, sometimes forcing me toswitch my breakfast meal tooatmeal. But don’t get me startedon the cardboard tube Quaker Oatsdares to house its product in! I hadto take a mental health day afterseeing a slight dent in thepackaging. “Yet, upon examining all 1,147slivers of cheddar, I was satisfiedLucerne had not tried tobamboozle me into thinking I waspurchasing anything short of thecompany’s finest efforts. Icommend them for their attentionto detail.”But Will the Cheese Stay Fresh?I still had to address the“improvement” query. Afterpraising the cheese’s appearanceand taste, I chose to focus on thezipper closure designed to keepthe cheese fresh in the bag, whileenticing shelf appearance. “I did have an issue with thezipper thingy,” I wrote, unable toproduce a technical term for theplastic piece. “There was amoment when the zipper becamestuck as I was resealing thecheese. Only when I reversed thezipper’s direction, and made asecond attempt, did this issuecorrect itself. My blood pressureand heart rate returned to normal.”Finally, at Jewel-Osco’s request, Igave my review a title:“Brought to My Knees by thisAmazing Cheese!”Satisfied, I clicked “submit,”closed my laptop and venturedoutside for a long bike ride.

www.hap2it.com April 16, 2026 HAPPENINGS Page 23Do you get frustrated when theexpensive exterior paint you usepeels, flakes or cracks in just afew years? You’re not alone. I’mabout to survey my thousands ofnewsletter subscribers. I’m willing to bet you a two-step mochachip ice cream sundae that amajority of them suffer as youdo.I’m convinced your disappointment can be traced to several things you might not knowabout paint. I believe that onceyou have a grasp of the product,you’ll start to get the same resultsI get when I paint outdoors.What would you say if I toldyou I painted my Cincinnatihouse 25 years ago and it looks asgood today as it did back then?The paint has not peeled or flakedoff. I’m having the exact sameresult with my current home inNew Hampshire. It was lastpainted 15 years ago with the bestpaint I could buy. Allow me toshare with you the simple secretsto obtain results like mine.It’s essential to know that paintis just colored glue. Paintchemists refer to the glue asresin. There are many differenttypes of glue. For example, thebasic white glue kids use inkindergarten is nearly identical tothe lowest-quality paint you canbuy. You know yellow carpenter’s glue is far superior, and youcan get paints that have this betterresin base.Epoxy is very strong, and yes,you can purchase epoxy paint.The only issue is it’s a bit moredifficult to work with. Have youever applied clear urethane to woodwork or furniture? Haveyou noticed how sticky anddurable it is?That’s the exterior paint that Iuse: paint that has a urethaneresin. It’s water-based and aseasy to apply and clean up as anywater-based exterior paint.Your past failures with exteriorpaint might be traced to any number of shortcuts or mistakes.Allow me to share what I feelmight be the most common ones.First and foremost, when was thelast time you read and followedthe instructions on the label of thepaint can? I’d be willing to up mybet that less than 20% of homeowners take the time to do this.Just about every label I’ve readmentions applying the paint to aclean, dry surface. What’s yourdefinition of clean? Would yousay your oily filthy body is cleanif you stand in a shower under thehighest pressure your skin cantolerate for 20 minutes beforeyou towel off?The answer is no. Yet you mayhave used a pressure washer thelast time you painted somethingoutdoors to clean it. Have youever used a pressure washer toclean your filthy car holding thewand as close to the surface asyou feel comfortable? If you thenallowed your car to air dry, you’llnotice there is still a stubborn thinfilm of dirt on the paint. Your caris not clean after it’s pressurewashed.To get your body clean in ashower, you probably rub yourskin with soap. You might evenuse a brush or microfiber towel.This mechanical agitation of thesurface in conjunction with thesoap is what gets your skin clean.You should do the exact samething with whatever you intend topaint. Special brushes used toclean large RVs are perfect forhouse cleaning. I have a specialone I’ve had for 30 years thatdoes a tremendous job.Wood is the most difficultthing for paint to adhere to. Woodis hygroscopic. This means itchanges its shape in response tomoisture content. The steel orplastic on your car doesn’t dothis. The expansion and contraction of the wood can be too muchfor a cheap paint to handle. If so,the paint loses its grip on thewood and peels or flakes.You can minimize the expansion and contraction of wood bypainting all the sides and cutedges of the wood. Imagineshrink-wrapping the wood withpaint. I know this is lots of extrawork, but it will pay off in spadesin the long term. It’s especiallyimportant to paint the end grainof wood. This is where waterenters into wood with ease.Pay attention to what the paintlabel says about the air temperature. It will provide a minimumand maximum temperature rangefor application. Don’t exceedthis! What’s more, follow thesun. Painted surfaces should notbe exposed to direct sunlight if atall possible. The paint will drytoo quickly. The best days topaint are overcast ones with no orlight wind.Does your label say to use aprimer? If so, did you know thatyou get the best results by applying the finish paint as soon as theprimer is dry to the touch? Thefinish paint and the primer canchemically bond to one another,since the primer has yet to fullycure. Try to do whatever is possible to take advantage of thismagic.Subscribe to Tim’s FREEnewsletter atAsktheBuilder.com. Tim offers phone coachingcalls if you get stuckduring a DIY job.

Preparedby Southshore AR on Monday, April 13, 2026 10:22 AM.Last week a middle-agedwoman hired me to do herdrain, waste and vent riserdiagram, a water-line drawing to ensure all fixtureswould get plenty of water,and her natural gas riser diagram. Her local buildingdepartment requires these toobtain a building permit.Even if the drawings are notrequired, it’s a good idea tohave them done.I included notes with eachdrawing when I sent them toher via email. She was verypolite and often respondedwith a few questions. Iuncovered a potential problem in her specificationswith respect to her waterheater. I felt it was too smalland suggested she considerinstalling a tankless heaterin her new home.This nice woman askedme if I’d be kind enough toreview a bid she receivedfrom a plumber to do thework in her new home. Iobliged and was stunnedwhen I studied it. The quoteonly covered the plumbingdrain pipes and water linesthat would be under the slabof the house.It’s important for you torealize this is just a two-bathhouse with a small halfbath. The plumber’s quotewas for $38,000. I almostfell out of my chair. I did avery fast estimate of materials. I felt all the pipes andfittings could be purchasedfor $2,500. Three thousanddollars of washed gravelwould be needed to fillaround the pipes. I then estimated it would take twoexperienced plumbers aboutfour days, at most, to do thework.Do the math yourself andyou’ll see that something isamiss. I emailed the womanand suggested that I create aset of specifications for theplumbing job. The specifications would require theplumbers to break downtheir bids into labor andmaterials. They would alsohave to list the hourly rate aworker is paid in case achange order is requested.Creating specifications isnot that hard for many jobs.You can do it yourself bygetting your inspirationfrom the installation instructions for the products youwant installed in your home.Try it. Pick out a specificwindow, and then go readthe installation instructions.You’ll see that all the important steps required to ensurethat the window will perform well are in the instructions. Don’t assume anycontractor is going toalways do what’s right. Yourcontract needs to simply saythat the job is going to bedone according to the specifications used to bid thework.By Tim CarterWhen contracting out, a little knowledge can save big bucksHomesPlus.qxp_HAPPENINGS FULL AD TEMPLATE 4/14/26 5:03 PM Page 30

These are the best action days for you as long as your individual transits also align for success in a new initiative.TAURUS (April 20-May 20): New seeds are sprouting for a new spring in your life — soon, things may never be the same again. There’s epic-level innovation and achievement of dreams just emerging, you could see it more as soon as next week.GEMINI (May 21-June 20): While not every online personality deserves your trust, when you do get validation for your intuition that can feel very powerful. Stay connected to inspo, curate what to keep and act on and what to let go of.CANCER (June 21-July 22): You might soon be a showrunner for innovation in the world or in the workplace. New understandings can shower bystanders with near-magical blessings and abundance. Decide based on wisdom, not emotion.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Student to teacher isn’t a progression, it can be a dead end if the teacher ever thinks they are done learning. Engaged teachers have to be perpetually engaged students, too. Don’t be afraid of not knowing, just expand your knowledgebase.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You could be close to a financial change that could change everything is a very positive way. Be awake to opportunities yet always do your due diligence before jumping into anything.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As wary as you may be, don’t be closed off to something or someone beautifully aligned if it or they appear on your horizon. It’s fine to watch a while before you finalize any decisions, no need to rush yourself or your process.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The old ways of getting things done and the old ways of managing your health could both be in for a dramatic uplevel. Something wonderful looks to be coming along that will crack both open to more sunshine.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your heart’s truth could be just what someone needs to hear — that someone could also potentially be you. Attune with what’s present and beautiful for yourself, share it if appropriate.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Real progress could be happening on the home front, time in the weeds or in the swamp appears to be ending, dramatic improvements are almost, or soon will be, in full view. Consider your values — still aligned with who you want to be?AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Share your insights, they could flow powerfully for the next few days and others could be not just receptive, but in actual need of what you’re bringing. Grounded in wisdom holds you better than fronting false confidence.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Money is valuable in 3-D reality, how you handle it should be reflective of your broader values, of who you want to be in the world. A phenomenal new opening is almost here for you.ACROSS1 Make-up artist’s talent6 __ store10 Posts14 Celine’s “Beauty and the Beast” counterpart15 “It’s too much”17 Dining option18 The best of times19 Star clusters21 “I like it”22 Brief downtime23 2016 Presidential Medal of Freedom awardee Maya24 HBO’s “__ Espookys”26 Wailing figure of folklore28 Relaxed31 Hall __32 Height of one’s ability33 Employ34 Fictional soccer club playable in FIFA 2337 Colored outside the lines38 Animal whose name comes from the Dharug word for “no water”39 Derivative work, for short?40 “Fingers crossed!”45 Postelection figure47 2022 NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion __ Toppin48 Symbol for magnetic flux49 Little tater50 “Wolf Like Me” actress Fisher52 Mole peppers54 Social media account?57 Snacks with limited-edition flavors58 Personal gripes59 Like the sacred tree Yggdrasil60 Votes of affirmation61 Wax figure62 Pointers for a fight chorepographer?DOWN1 Floor2 “What’s the __?”3 Like some winners of a Pura Belpré Award4 Bird associated with the Egyptian god Thoth5 Criminal record?6 Be into7 Menu image8 Topanga neighbor9 Sight before walking down the aisle10 Podcaster/comedian Kirkman11 Scrambled alternative12 __ mountain dog13 Toms’ neighbors16 __ Vogue20 Help in finding subs25 Prefix with permeable27 __ fluid29 Mariners’ realm, once30 Starship Enterprise levels33 Ace of clubs?34 Progressive rival35 Hostess offering36 Cobra kin37 “Horsefeathers!”39 Siberian resort?40 Runs through41 One way to fall42 Message from on high?43 Go for44 Pays lip service to?46 Climb51 Sod buyer’s calculation53 Take sides?55 Letter writer’s addendum56 Couture initialshoroscopein the starsWayne for winning NASCAR - Don’t ask Jimmy who Wayne is.
