like to address my remarks to Still Boiling who is so upset about her husbands friend who urinated under her kitchen window Well Im 27yearold mother of small child and my advice to this lady is Cool it you aint seen nothin yet lived in Europe for few years while my husband was at tending school Boiling would have been beside herself if she had seen as did men urinating on street corners against the wheels of cars and telephone poles anywhere and everywhere they felt like it So tell not to fight with her husband over this small incident Americans are very fortunate to have so many toilets conveniently Icated Also tell her that when the clad unzipped his jeans she shouldnt have been wat ching SeenltAIl Dear All My original conclusion still holds The guy must have had too many beers agree however that once he unzipped she should have put her eyeballs back in her head and busied herself with another project Dear Ann Landers started talking to myself after read that letter from Worried In the Midwest Thirty years ago before Worried was born gave birth to right baby so beautiful so perfectly formed physically bright and precocious that people would stop to stare She was so lovable and happy at the age of four that our pediatrician complimented us on how well we were raising her Everything was fine until high school then our world exploded It wasnt drugs that sent our dream child to the first of series of psychiatrists four months in psychiatric hospital and as of now ten years of psychotherapy The problem was caused by an inherited weakness which proved emotionally crippling Would we have given this child away if we had known God not The mother who wrote to ask to whom she could give her child if he wasnt right must be subhuman We are At Peace With Ourselves In The Midwest Dear At Peace Subhuman No Just frightened and illin formed great many people wrote to give her hell but ac tually the poor girl didnt know any better urged her to get some outside help and sincerely hope she did Dear Ann Landers loaned my small home to male friend who decided to separate from his wife It was com pletely furnished and quite nice He was so deeply in debt that charged him no rent but he agreed to pay all the utility bills while he lived there Now he has moved out and just received the last months hills which come to $100 Although this is lot of money to me its nothing compares with the rent he would have had to pay Vtc life in Southern state and was under the impression that Southern gentlemen were to be trusted keep get ting disappointed in the South All the TV shows depict the Southern gentlemen as honorable decent and extremely wellinanncred Is it just lot of baloney Lost 88 Dear ss Deadbeats life in the North too Also the West and the East heapness has nothing to do with geography Pay the bill but dont hesitate to remind your friend often that he owes you $100 For what its wgrth Telephone friend or foe By MARGARET WORTH Im never entirely sure if the telephone is friend or foe It depends how you look at it Certainly think the Canadian telephone system is the best in the world Anyone who has experiences elsewhere will probably agree with me Recent ly tried to call my mother in England The operators here were friendly helpful and remarkably patient At the third attempt was still being told Im sorry but England isnt answering had mental picture of the whole of England refusing to answer the phone No love its Sunday and only answer on Tuesdays or Not likely mate answer questions about the phone and go to the phone once its been answered but dont actually pick up the phone Its not my job sorry got through eventually but not without few more frustrations including local operator in small town hanging up in sheer panic Ma Bell just doesnt do things like that However all is not entirely sunshine and light in my telephone world Any system is only as good as the people who operate it and that can lead to problems have friend for whom even the simple four line and hold button is an unfathomable mystery which she will obviously never solve Sometimes just trying to talk to someone on the phone becomes lot like running in ever decreasing circles call placed recently went something like this dial ring May help you Exension 413 please One moment ring buzz silence dial tone erdial ring May help you etc We do tend to take our private phones for granted though dont we student friend of mine just cant afford the lux ury of telephone and is constantly frustrated by its lack Shivering through the winter in call boxes and trying to make advance arrangements which have the unhappy knack of changing at the last moment have made him very aware of how reliant we are on our dialing finger Really have only one strong complaint If wonderful Ma Bell could come up with little gadget to fit on the receiver of the phone which would temporarily paralyze the teenage hand which is constantly using that instrument when Im at the other end of the line somewhere trying to get through Id be really happy fgllys Pointers Best to keep pies cool liliAR lllY How can slice meringue pie without having the meringue stick to the knife and ruin the looks of the pie Also should meringue pies be kept in the refrigerator MRS JR DEAR MRS IR The following letter from Mildred will answer your first question As to the second one Service Bulletin from the Department of Agriculture says Refrigerate cream custard or meringue pies and foods with custard fillings such as cakes cream puffs and eelairs not allow them to stand at room temperature after they cool slightly If such foods are carried on summer outings keep In cooler with Ice or reusable cold packs until served POLLY DEAR IIIY Sprinkle sugar over your meringue pies before baking It produces golden brown color and the meringue will not stick to the knife when the pie is cut Keep clean sponge in the vegetable bin of your refrigerator and it will absorb any excess moisture MILDRED DEAR READERS suggest you cut out the following two Pointers and save them for next winter so they will be handy when the first bad weather comes to your urea POLLY DEAR POLLY Most of us are not lucky enough to have snow blowers but discovered that spraying snow shovel with furniture polish and then wiping rag across the shovel will keep the snow from sticking This certainly made my snow shoveling easier and hope it does the same for others CLAIRE DEAR POLLY On very cold winter day had the misfortune to break storm door window so slipped summer screen into Iargeplastic garbage bag replaced this in the groove and had instant protection from the wind and snow HELEN DEAR POLLY To make string mop last longer tie knots in the ends of the strings before the map is used the first time think they last twice as long MARCIE
