I can't help you avoid the flipping, but maybe I can make it a little easier. Along with the food already on the baking sheet, I put another sheet (same size) in the oven too. When it is time to flip, I simply lay the empty sheet on top of the food and flip. This ensures even cooking and no dropped food in the bottom of the oven.
I am totally sold on 'ear candles' for removing ear wax. My elderly father was going to the ENT every couple of months because of an over abundant production of ear wax. He absolutely hated the water irrigation process the physician used. I convinced him to let me use "ear candles" on his ears. The first time I did it I removed two huge plugs of ear wax, one from each ear (there was no mistaking the deep orange color). I now 'candle' his ears every time I cut his hair and nails, about every six weeks. The last time I took him to the VA, the nurse practitioner came out to ask me what I had been using on his ears. She could not believe how clean they were and how clean his hearing aids were staying! She had me write down the instructions, she wanted to try it at home on her own father!
Be sure to purchase them (about $6 for two) from a reputable health food store. Ask them how many they sell a month, if it is less than a dozen, BUY THEM SOMEWHERE ELSE, the frequent users obviously know they are of poor quality. You can buy cheaper ones, but they will not be safe, some have too much or too little wax coating the linen cone.
I found many years ago that hanging clothes out in the early morning or early evening works best. Also, you MUST bring them in AS SOON AS they are dry. The first couple of loads, you'll be checking several times to catch them just as they dry, but after a little practice, you'll know just how long each fabric takes. I have done this for a long time and do not have trouble with stiff clothes ( I do not use liquid softener)
