faithful reader will you please tell me why your column is so onesided You print many letters about the abnormalities of mm but never women Surely you must know there are Iesbiam around as well as male homosexuals Why has this subject never been mentioned in your column You print loads of letters about male impotency but noth ing about the frigid female In fact once while back on said There is no such thing as frigd woman The problem is clumsy or insensitive men Recently you ran letter about husband who enjoyed sex by lumself The wife wrote to say she was mortified Surely you know there are women who do the same thi Lets have both sides of the stor Ann Your co umn would be not only more realistic but more educationalTired of Half the Picture Dear Tired try to be fair and print both sides but many more male homosexuals write to me than women However if you are faithful reader you saw letter just recently about lesbiars As for frigid women Ive dealt with them in the column too hold the view and have expressed it in print that Many are cold but few are frozen Of course some women as well as men enjoy sex alone It just so happens that many wives have written to complain abolut husbands who do this but Ive yet to hear from one ma The only papers know of that print every word write are the Chicago SunTimes and the Chicago Daily News Im sure there must be others but dont see them every day my life as do these two write seven columns week52 weeks year Some papers dont publish on Sunday so the subscribers of those papers miss oneseventh of me Others dont run the column on Saturday even though they publish Saturday paper Why Ask them Im available Other papers have space problems so they lop one or even two letters off my column Naturally am not happy about this but its the privilege of every editor to cut what he wants to Thislengthy response is to explain that perhaps the reason you think am biased is because you do not see every letter inmy column every day and undoubtedly the ones you missed were the very ones you were looking for Dear Ann Landers have horrific pranienimpe you can help Im 17 and in love with guy who makes me Sick Yes really This has been going on since my birthday in May when he took me to dinner in nice restaurant got nauseated at the tableforced myself to eat anyway and then had to go throw up Ever since that time try to avoid eating with him but when cant get out of it doand always end up vomiting My mother says no guy is worth it really love Ed and dont know what to doTroubled Freak Dear Friend Your problem is not as freaky as you think Many teenagers have it Its emotional and mint be resolved by talking Discuss it with your school counsellor and if more intensive therapy is needed he or she will guide you Erma Bombeck Anchovies are sneaky In the olden days BC Before Canapes this column would never have been written but since hors doeuvres ap petizers and those little beforedinner snacks have became so chic its an absolute necessity There are some foods that do not diminish when you chew them they grow and suspect multiply One of them is the anchovy have inadvertently found myself with an anchovy in my mouth and have chewed on it vigorously for three days and swallowed 137 times only to wake up in the middle of the night and realize was still chewing it Anchovies are sneaky little devils and often disguise themselves as edible They never look the same Once in your mouth however they wrap themselves around your front tooth and refuse to let go The late naturalist Euell Gibbons once wrote about eating seaweed called Dulse He said that when this red dish weed was fresh from the tide pool it was tough and tasteless giving the semation of chewing on salted rubber band However one rainy day when he craved some he put little in an openwork onion bag dried it an hour in the automatic clothes dryer and it tasted wonderful There is nothing ou can do for an anchovy You can salt it ry it pickle it can it sautee it and make paste out of it It still tastes like youre eating bait its baffling to me but there are some people who do not find anchovies disgusting at all and try to be tolerant have one friend old Fish Breath who invariably orders them on her izza when she is in my presence Its all can do to remem she is kind to her mother tithes to the chur ch and doesnt litter our highways As circled table full of appetizers the other night it oc curred to me that one of lifes greatest mysteries is Whats in all those little globs and mounds of shredded food Its one of the few places where throw pride to the wind and wear my glasses As bent over crust of bread shaped like diamond and covered with bits of bacon shredded shrimp glob of blue cheese and toothpick holding an olive with an almond centre looked at my husband He looked weird His teeth werent meeting He gasped only two words before he took leave Its liver Unlike an anchovy liver doesnt grow or multiply Liver like malaria Once you think its gone the taste comes back maybe not today or tomorrow but someday Pollxs fig inters Wrinkled knit needs help DEAR POLLY bought wrinkled white nylon knit shell thinking could remove the wrinkles but have had no luck washed it with lukewarm water and dripdried it from the machine washed it again and dryed in the dryer on the delicate cycle but the wrinkles are still there JH DEAR JH have had fairly good luck pressing such wrinkles with pressing cloth that has been wrung out of white vinegar and water Some knits that might flatten out too much from the weight of the iron would have to be pressed over very lightly Try this and do hope it works for you P9LLY DEAR POLLY To save on human energ as well as electricity fold handkerchiefs and smooth em as they come out of the dryer then put the unplugged iron on top of the hankies on top of the dryer The heat from the dryer will iron the hankies when the next load is put in NORMA DEAR POLLY About onethird of my iron is discolored from something that stuck to it Since the silver coated ironing board cover is torn thought it could be that and used scraping cloth on the iron but to no avail Any suggestions MRSRHA DEAR MRSRHA Perhaps the following letter will be of some help to you POLLY DEAR POLLY had the misfortune to touch some plastic wrap with my hot electric skillet and it melted right onto the skillet tried everything to no avail Finally used commercial cleaner which is sold for the purpose of removing bumed on grease left it for 60 minutes and was able to peel the plastic right off MARJ DEAR POLLY used to have trouble with my nine months old daughters bottle leaking whenever took her out Recently my husband discovered the tops from baby juice jars fit on to the tops of glass and plastic baby bottles perfectly Now save the tops from juice jars and use them on the large bottles when going out just carry nipple along to put on the bottle when am ready to use it so there is no more leaking for me MRS
