views on whether the toilet tissue should go over the roll or straight down next to the walls certainly dont want to start anything like that again But do have similar pro blem that has bothered me for years Please tell me what you think St AM the lid of the toilet be left up or down Please note Ibn not referring to the toilet seat its the LID am talking ut In my opinion the purpose of the lid is to keep it closed when the commode is not in use cant understand why othermse fastidious people ignore this reasoning and keep the lid up Please comment Faithful Ann Fan Dear Faithful Of course you are right The lid should be kept down That is the pur se of it And since we are back In the bathroom again like to say in response to thousands of letters which have crossed my desk over thse past several years that it is poor taste for man to leave the SEAT up Please gentlemen Consider the next person who may be female Dear Ann Landers If the medical profession is in trouble its their own fault They should be made to pay for their greed and indifference The last visit to doctors office cost me $20 for fiveminute consultation That $20 took me whole day to earn and spent it in five minutes Today took the cake My husbands physician instructed him to make an appointment immediately for tests The doctor then went to Bermuda for vacation and left no in structions whatsoever We have both Had It Dear llad First about that $20 fee for fiveminute consultation It took many years of hard work and expen sive schooling to equip that doctor to tell you what was or wasnt wrong in five minutes As for the physician who left town without making ar rangements for your husbands tests the solution is simple get another doctor Dear Readers Last fall received letters from readers in Oklahoma commenting on state legislation that would have required man to get the written consent of woman before engaging in sexual intercourse couldnt believe it Icalled my managing editor in Oklahoma City who informed me that such proposal had indeed been submitted in the legislature as sarcastic amendment to bill restricting abortion had also received the text of consent form that the editor said had made the rounds of the Capitol dur ing the controversy It was spoof of the whole idea of state legislation aimed at regulation of private sexual behavior assumed the consent form was bit of anonymous legislative humor and printed it in my column of Nov have since discovered that the consent form spoof was composed by Ralph Slovenko professor of law and psychiatry at Wayne State University in Detroit and ap peared in his column in the magazine Sexual Medicine To day am glad to credit Professor Slovenkos authorship and to assure my readers that neither the bill nor the amendment were passed Confidential to Who Said It Ralph Waldo Emerson and its worth repeating hero is no braver than anyone else He is only brave five minutes longer Erma Bombeck Volunteers like yachts Volunteers are like yachts No matter where they are they arouse your curiosity Who are they Where do they come from Why are they here They could stay moored where its safe and still justify their being but they choose to cut through the rough waters ride out storms and take chances They have style Theyre fiercely independent If you have to ask how much they cost you cant afford them Volunteers and yachm have lot more in common these days Theyre both part of an aristocratic era that is dis appearing from the American scene Theyve both luxury in world that has become very practical Day by day the number of volunteers decreases in this country as more and more of them equate their worth in terms of dollars and cents Three years ago did column on volunteers in an effort to point out that they dont contribute to our civilization They ARE civilization at least the only part worth talking about They are the only human beings on the face of this earth who reflect this nations compassion unselfishness caring patience need and just plain loving one another Their very presence transcends politics religion ethnic background marital status sexism even smokers vs nonsmokers Maybe like the yacht the volunteer was luxury And luxuries are too often taken for granted oné has to wonder Did we as nation remember to say to the volunteers Thank you for our symphony hall Thank you for the six dialysis machines Thank you for sitting up with 16yearold who overdosed and begged to die Thank you for the hot chocolate at the scout meeting Thanks for heading to the blind Thanks for using your station wagon to transport group of strangers to ballgame Thanks for knocking on doors in the rain Thanks for hugging the winners of the Special Olympics Thanks for pushing the wheelchair into the sun Thanks for being Did the media stand behind them when they needed bowl Did the professionals make it point to tell them they did good job Did the recipients of their time and talent ever express their gratitude It frightens me somehow to imagine what the world will be like without them Pollys Pointers Neighbors will know DEAR POLLY We stay in our mobile home in Florida only six months of the year and wonder if you could give us any suggestions for stopping mildew and mold during our absence We always crack the windows and put charcoal under the couch and beds but that docs not seem to help MRS DEAR MRS think talking to your neighbors about what they have done might be of the most help because any solutions they have pertain to your particular area Mlldcw thrives in summer espe cially In sections of the country where high humidity prevails Leave closet doors open and drawers pulled out bit for ventilation Dryness and cleanliness will help prevent mlldews attack Any mildew that forms should be removed as soon as possible and soap and cleaning solution should do the job Thls particular fungus thrives in dark damp places so it might help if neighbor would go in ever so often and let some sunshine and warm dry air In POLLY DEAR POLLY Whenever try new recipe always write comment beside it on how we liked it or on an alteration might want to make another time My cookbooks are full of such helpful hints CHERYL DEAR CHERYL think it is also very helpful to add how many can be served by lollowlng favorite recipe POLLY DEAR POLLY One of my Pet Peeves is with the entrances to shopping center parking lots that are barely Wide enough for two cars to enter and leave at the same time One must come to complete stop stopping the traffic behind so that you enter with caution to avoid the car that is leaving the lot BELVA
