you dont know what is going on have two handguns in my home and one in my car wouldnt give them up for anything Quit being so unrealistic on this subject You owe it to your readers to encourage them to protect themselves Whose sideare you on anyway lallas fixIm Dear Ex It drives me up the wall the way you and millions of other Americans cling to the foolish notion that gun is protection when statistics show that nine times out of ten the intruder is much better shot than the lawabiding citizen and quicker on the draw too feel strongly that this country needs federal gun law Every poll in recent years shows that the majority of our citizens want one When our congressmen and senators muster enough courage to stand up to the gun lobby in Washington we are going to have safer country for everybixly Dear Aim Landers Our English teacher claims that all the letters in your column are made up by you or members of your staff think she is mistaken It doesnt seem possi ble that you could have gotten away with phoney operation for so many years Will you please convince her that you are for rcal lin ton Iowa Dear lint This response is for you not your English teacher It would be ridiculous to make up letters What goes on in peoples lives is far more interesting than anything could invent Moreover nothing is so bizarre so ridiculous or weird that somebody somewhere wont do it My problem is that so many fascinating usable thought provoking letters cross my desk every day have difficult time deciding which letters to publish As for your English teacher and others who think make up letters dont try to change their minds man convinc ed against his will is of the same opinion still Dear Ann Landers am writing this for the person who wanted to know how to clean his dentures when he dined out in public You asked if anyone out there had any ex periences Obviously you have not Well have and heres the answer keep plastic box in my desk drawer When want to clean my dentures at noon or at coffee break time when have an occasional cookie or sweet roll go to the washroom fill the little box with water drop in Polident tablet retire to the private cubicle put the dentures in the plastic box cover with the lid and shake gently empty the water in the commode and put the dentures back in my mouth The cleansing tablet isnt necessary but it does help sweeten the breath This method has added to my comfort and protected me against embarrassment hope it helps Mrs of Marslialltown Dear Mrs Your method sounds like very prac tical suggestion and am very happy to pass it on to

want to know how old how tall what their father does where they live the scope of their education what their plans are for the future and how they feel about children dont care about any of those things All want to know is Is he or she local call or toll dont remember names or faces of old flames All re member is their area code One of my sons once dated an area code 513 for six months It was marriage by Ma Bell figured we were spending 333 month to share such insights as What are you doing Nothing what re you doing dont want to interrupt you if youredoingsomething told you wasnt doing anything You sure Im sure So whats new Another one of my kids showed an interest in lovely girl who lived just few miles from US It was great didnt have to worry about deep involvement because they were never off the phone He set his alarm to call her in the morn ing At night used to go iii and remove the phone from his ear as he slept It was like hanging up an umbilical cord As soon as they left one another at school in the afternoon they would shout Ill call you when get home offered to feed him intravenously The suggestion by my husband to put timer by the phone with sand running through was ridiculous llowevcr did slip calendar under his door and circle the month lanic didnt set in until one day when was standing near and saw him dial Who are you calling asked You know he said The same person Ive been talking with for the last month lint thought she was local call Dont worry he said It only costs about eight cents minute Besides this isnt just some silly kid infatuation This is person genuinely care for and want to spend the rest of my life with Shes important to me Shes special and there isnt anything wouldnt do for her Im glad to hear you say that said
