Dear Abby Corn-on-the-cob feast puts etiquette on hold

DEAR ABBY: While visiting a family in Santa Fe, we were enjoying a luscious meal of locally caught trout when we got into a discussion about how to eat corn on the cob. Four of our party ate the corn in even rows left to right. The fifth person ate the corn in a 360-degree movement, turning it round and round. Then ensued a serious discussion concerning the “socially acceptable” way to eat corn on the cob. So, Dear Abby, please tell us: Should one eat corn on the cob straight across or round and round? I am sure there are far more pressing worldly matters, but we would like a little input from you, if possible. MAY AND DON, SANTA FE, N.M. DEAR MAY AND DON: Those who are sticklers for socially acceptable table manners are not likely to serve corn on the cob. (It’s wonderful for picnics and outdoor barbecues, however.) 1 can speak only for myself, but I gnaw the kernels off the cob beginning at the far left and proceed across the cob. Then I rotate the cob and sink my teeth into the kernels above the “row” already eaten. (Something like playing a harmonica.) I don’t know about the folks in Santa Fe, but that’s the way we lowans eat it. * * * DEAR ABBY: I have a friend I see quite often. Whenever she sees me, she asks, “Is that new?” referring to my dress, purse, shoes or a piece of costume jewelry, just anything I happen to be wearing. I really like her, so I always tell her whether it’s new or not, even though I find that question very irritating. Is there something I could say to get her to stop asking this annoying question? ANNOYED DEAR ANNOYED: A few suggestions. Choose one. (If it doesn’t work, try another.) Her: “Is that new?” You: (1) “I really like you, but what difference does it make?” (2) “I really like you, but why do you want to know?”

Cleaning out old medicine DEAR READERS: Is your medicine cabinet full of prescription and non-prescription tubes, bottles and jars? Do you know what they are all for? How long have they been there? To be sure you have a safe medicine cabinet, at least once a year go through every shelf and throw or flush away any drug that has expired. Expiration dates are marked on labels of most prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications. On those medications not dated, write the month and year of purchase on the label when you buy it. And, when in doubt, throw it out! A basic rule of thumb is to throw away any prescription medicine you haven’t used in the past year, regardless of expiration date. Or anything you aren’t sure of. Your family’s health is too important to take a chance. Open each container and examine its contents. If you notice any change in appearance, odor or color, this may be a sign of chemical reactions that can alter the drug’s effectiveness and safety in its recommended dosages. Alcohol commonly used in liquid medications (such as cough syrups) may evaporate over time, leaving a more concentrated and more potent drug. You may want to buy the smallest quantity possible of a medication you are only going to use occasionally because the more you open the container, the more the contents break down. Tablets and capsules really shouldn’t ever be stored in the bathroom where heat and humidity can cause the dry medications to break down quickly. However, this is the most common place. So, if you must keep them there, be sure to keep the caps tightly sealed. Ultimately you are responsible for what’s in your medicine cabinet, so make it as safe as possible. Heloise

Abigail Van Buren

(3) “I really like you, but I wish you wouldn’t keep asking me that question.” * * * DEAR ABBY: You said you were interested in “unusual” names: I had a friend in school whose name was Bertha Mae Leake. Her brother was Raymond Will Leake. They were both nice kids and deserved better. MRS. RUSSELL DIXON, WILLOW STREET, PA. * * * DEAR ABBY: Please help me. I am being deluged with “get well” wishes from friends and fans ever since The Associated Press put out a release saying, “Christine Jorgensen, the ex-GI whose sex-change operation nearly 40 years ago led to a career as an author, lecturer and nightclub performer, is dying of cancer.” That paragraph appeared adjacent to the obituaries in the San Francisco Chronicle! Abby, I had cancer surgery last year, but to paraphrase Mark Twain: “The reports of my imminent demise are greatly exaggerated.” Will you please help me spread the word? Thank you. CHRISTINE JORGENSEN DEAR CHRISTINE: I just did. Good luck and God bless you. * * * “How to Be Popular” is for everyone who feels left out and wants an improved social life. It’s an excellent guide to becoming a better conversationalist and a more attractive person.
