wearing them unironed for seven years Why do you suppose man would suddenly demand that his shorts be ironed And instead of asking her in person he leaves her smart aleck note yet that starts out with Unless you are sick dying or dead And to that insult he tells her he is going to check on Tuesday to see if she followed his instructions Where is the guy going that all of sudden he needs his shorts to look so good Any idiot should be able to figure out that the old boy as taken up with some dishy doll For smart dame you sure fell flat on your face when yot answered that one couldnt believe your replyOne of Your Adoring Public Formerly Dear Ad You and several thousand others And now that think of it cant figure out why something so obvious escaped my notice OK Im awake now and the coffee smells lot better than my answer Ill take seven lashes with the cord of my own iron Read on for another blast on the same subject Dear Ann Landers If didnt have confidence in your sobriety Id swear you were under the influence when you told Bertha to iron Sams shorts Your theory that Bertha would burn up less energy ironing the darned things than complaining about it cuts no ice The Sam in my house figures he does his share when he puts in eight hours day at his job put in good 16 hours day here at home and lot of things do should be Sams responsibility It rankles me that gave up promising career to get into this mess but walked into it with my eyes wide open so wont complain wash everything that comes down the chute and iron everything that needs it but refuse to iron shorts until theres letup on the pressure around here Fold them neatlyOK Iron themno way Sam handed me your column and saw red Do me big favor Ann and suggest that he help me position that heavy ladder so can do the necessary maintenance on the upstairs window frames Bumin8 ill Cleveland Dear Burn What are you doing on that ladder anyway It sounds as if your Sam is hopelessly spoiled and nothing might say would make dent Husbands and children must be trained at the beginning Sorry dear Dear Ami My husband and have teamed from statements she has put in writing that our 20yearold daughter is having sex with her boyfriend As if that werent enough she has been sexually active with at least six others Betty is now checking into motels and taking terrible chance with her reputation if not her body Shes on the pill We are just sick about it Should we play dumb Betty lives at home and has had two years of college Please tell us what to do Another Mother Dear Mother In calmnonjudgmental way tell Betty you know she must have problems and youd like to make counselling available If she accepts the offer fine If she doesnt dont pressjust keep the lines of communication open Fgr What its Worth Mother Worth foiled again ï¬t By MARGARET WORTH The house is still and very quiet Only the sleepy murmur of the fridge and the occasional plop an on adventurous gup py disturbs the silence have been waiting fot this moment all day put cautious foot on the stairs Slowly and with enor mous care start to make my way up the soft green carpet placing each bare sole squarely so that not single creak will give me away Almost to the top nowhold my breathpast the ficus benjamina plant careful not to rustle the leaves turn the corner gently now only two more steps to go make it and exhale very gently My hand gropes to the right reaching for the doorknob There isa sudden rush of noise thump flash past my bewildered eyes and the sharp slamming of the door Foiled again Someone beat me to the shower For those of you who havent guessed already am the un trained mother of teenagers There are those Ive heard who sail through the traumatic teen years of their children with serenity and gracious smile The house always sparkles the aroma of freshly baked bread mingles with the perfume of home grown flowers and the childrens socks always match Of course have never actually met one of these phenomena ladies but believe that they do exist Then theres me have wondered if rhaps there was night course could have taken when tiigy were little Just something basic to prepare me for the stereo turned up to pain level the seven pairs of jeans that absolutely have to be washed tonight and the gallon of shampoo that mysterious Iy disappears in three days Dont get me wrong They are beautiful people my kids still remember the time they baked me birthday cake IS minutes before walked through the door and iced it straight from the oven accept as painful inevitability denial bills and car pools but takeanumber and wait your turn to use the bone So here am standing outside the bathroom door at 1130 wondering who could possibly washin what Wait do hear sound above the sp ashing of the very last drop of hot water contented little whistle should of known That man can outdistance the children any thy of the week Maybe if get up very early ks New cure for cat odors DEAR POLLY My cat wet on my rug and cannot get rid of the odor even though have used disinfectant in water and pine scented ammonia After anything dries the odor is still there PAULINE DEAR PAULINE Perhaps Mrs EPs letter will be of help to you DEAR IOLLY use the same method getting rid of cat odors that my mother used many years ago put small rag in frying pan and set it on fire This is not dangerous if used carefully and it removed the odor completely Keep lid for the pan in your other hand so as to smother the fire if necessary do not think sprays for the air will remove cat odors MRS EP Pollyl note Do not set the pan on your carpet but hold it in your hand near the places that have the odor and follow directions for holding the lid so II to have it ready if needed DEAR POLLY My Pet Peeve is with recipes that say eight tablespoons of butter or whatever instead of onehalf cup and three teaspoons instead of one tablespoon which is the same That is making us do it the hard way LOIS DEAR POLLY keep container of those promoistened towelettes by the chair sit in while knitting or doing em broidery work That way wipe my hands before starting any such work so am always sure they are clean JOYCE DEAR POLLY During these days of high utility bills an energy crisis etc remove all wash and wear garments from the washing machine and put them on plastic hangers to dry Willi our cooler turned on they dryquickly and save on elec tricity and gas have gas dryer Pius less heat is generated in the utility room Cathy DEAR POLLY Why tug vacuum cleaner all around when an empty clean and dry deter ent bottle will do just as well Prior to painting those insi and outside windows clean dust out of the corners by squeezing such bottle The air will brush away dust particles and you are ready to paint or varnish MRS EK
