Dear Abby Abby resolves to take it 'one day at a time'

DEAR ABBY: Last New Year’s Eve you published some New Year’s resolutions. 1 cut that column out and taped it on my bathroom mirror where I could read it every morning. I want you to know that it has helped me to become a better person. 1 am not saying that I kept every one of these resolutions every day, but I kept most of them, and they have now become habits that have made a remarkable improvement in my personality and character. I hope you will repeat that column every New Year’s Eve. I’m sure it will benefit many others as it has me. NEVER TOO OLD DEAR NEVER: By popular demand, my “resolutions” column has become an annual tradition, and here it is: DEAR READERS: These New Year’s resolutions are based on the original credo of Alcoholics Anonymous. I have taken the liberty of using that theme with some variations of my own: Just for today I will try to live through this day only, and not set far-reaching goals to try to overcome all my problems at once. I know I can do something for 12 hours that would appall me if I felt that I had to keep it up for a lifetime. Just for today I will try to be happy. Abraham Lincoln said, “Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” He was right. I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me. I will chase them out of my mind and replace them with happy thoughts. Just for today I will adjust myself to what is. I will face reality. I will try to change those things that I can change and accept those things I cannot change. Just for today I will try to improve my mind. I will not be a mental loafer. I will force myself to read something that requires effort, thought and concentration. Just for today I will do a good deed for somebody without letting him know it. (If he or she finds out I did it, it won’t count.) Just for today I will do something positive to improve my health. If I’m a smoker, I’ll make an honest effort to cut down., If I’m overweight, I’ll eat nothing I know is fattening. And I will force myself to exercise even if it’s only walking around the block, or using the stairs instead of the elevator. Just for today I will be totally honest. If someone asks me something I don’t know, I will not try to bluff; I’ll simply say, “I don’t know.” Just for today I’ll do something I’ve been putting off for a long time. I’ll finally write that letter, make that phone call, clean that closet, or straighten out those dresser drawers.

Hints from Heloise Pureeing/freezing baby food is economical

DEARHELOISE: As the new mother of a 6-month-old daughter who recently started eating solids, I was shocked at the price of baby food packed in jars. So to save money, I have been using my blender to puree fresh fruits and vegetables, but have some questions on storing them. A friend suggested I use ice cube trays, freezing small portions for future use. I’m unsure as to what foods can safely be frozen, such as pureed apples. Also, how long can these foods be left frozen and still retain their quality. Alyssa’s Mom ★ * * As a general rule, fresh fruits and vegetables for baby should be prepared for freezing and frozen, following general instructions in any good book on this subject. They may then be cooked and pureed as needed. While properly frozen fruits and vegetables will keep for

several months, cooked fruits and vegetables, especially pureed ones, will not retain flavor and food values for more than approximately two weeks, so these should be frozen in small amounts. Some fresh fruits, such as fresh apples, should never be frozen in a raw state as the enzymes break down very fast, thereby causing a substantial loss of flavor and nutrients. Others may be fresh-frozen successfully for eight to 12 months. Follow freezer book guidelines for specifics. Yes, you can save money by pureeing baby’s food but unless care is taken to properly prepare it, you may be serving Baby food that is less than satisfactory, nutritionally speaking.

Just for today, before I speak I will ask myself, “Is it true? Is it kind?” And if the answer to either of those questions is negative, I won’t say it. Just for today I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk softly, act courteously and not interrupt when someone else is talking. Just for today I’ll not try to improve anybody except myself. Just for today I will have a program. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it, thereby saving myself from two pests: hurry and indecision. Just for today I will have a quiet half-hour to relax alone. During this time I will reflect on my behavior and will try to get a better perspective on my life. Just for today I will be unafraid. I will gather the courage to do what is right and take the responsibility for my own actions. I will expect nothing from the world, but I will realize that as I give to the world, the world will give to me. P.S. Have a happy, healthy New Year. And pray for peace! LOVE, ABBY DEAR ABBY: I had a bad pain in my back, so I picked the name of a chiropractor out of the Yellow Pages and phoned for an appointment. He spent about half an hour taking X-rays but he didn’t even touch my back. He told me to talk to his receptionist about setting up “some appointments.” I told him all I wanted was one adjustment to relieve the pain in my back, but he insisted I talk to his receptionist anyway, so I did. She said the doctor couldn’t give me just one treatment I would need a series of 12! I asked her how much it would cost, and she said S2OO. I asked her why the doctor couldn’t give me only one treatment while I was there, and she said chiropractors don’t work that way. I told her I didn’t have that kind of money and I asked to see the doctor. She said he was “busy,” so I started to leave. She then said, “The X-rays are $55 cash only; we don’t accept checks.” I was furious. I threw SSO on her desk and walked out. What I want to know is this: Where can a person call or write to complain about this kind of ripoff? It’s chiropractors like this one who give the profession a bad name. MAD IN MICHIGAN DEAR MAD: There is a State Chiropractic Association in every state. Look in your telephone book under “State of Michigan.” Write to the association in Lansing and file a complaint. There are unethical practitioners in every profession, and the ethical ones appreciate it when the unethical ones are reported.

along the frozen seams and the hotdogs will separate easily. Beats hacking away with a knife! To heat hotdog buns, steam them by opening them and placing them on a grease splatter screen over the pot of boiling hotdogs on the stove. Works great. Saves energy too. No need to use the oven! Carole P. CURTAIN TIEBACKS Dear Heloise: My mother has a trick which I think is clever... To get her curtain tiebacks even, she pulls the shade to the spot where she wants the tacks to go, then, nails the tacks onto the window frame. The tiebacks are perfectly positioned. Norma NEIGHBORLY HINT Dear Heloise: In response to a letter in your column regarding knocking on an elderly person’s door to see if he was OK, I would like to say that for several years we have had a system in our apartment complex whereby we residents tie a handkerchief on our doorknobs at night. The designated floor captain (we take turns) checks the doorknobs the next morning about 10 a.m. If he sees a handkerchief still on a door he knocks to see if everything is all right. It works and is simply great as some elderly persons never have anyone to check on them. Harold Staley NEW OUT OF OLD Dear Heloise: When the top half of your full-length slip wears out, don’t toss it in the rag bag. Instead, cut it off, make a

casing at the top of the lower half and insert elastic through the casing. You’ll have a brand-new half slip which will last a long time. Bea Cauthom HINTS FROM HIM DEAR HELOISE: I use an electric razor and I would like to offer a solution to applying pre-electric shave to the face without having to wash the hands after each application. I saved an empty roll-on antiperspirant bottle and removed the top which holds the roller. Then after washing out the bottle with warm water, I filled it with my pre-electic solution. Now, before shaving, I roll the pre-shave over my face without getting it over my hands, thus eliminating the hand-washing. I have used this method for years and I wouldn’t go back to the old method. Mr. J.I. Smith DEARHELOISE; When I want to use baking soda as a carpet freshener, I’ve found a way to sprinkle it on the carpet that is more efficient than pouring it from the box. I punch holes in the bottom of an empty two-pound coffee can, cover the bottom with a plastic lid, fill the can with baking soda and place a plastic lid on the top. When using the soda on the carpet, I just remove the bottom lid, then uniformly sprinkle it over the entire surface, quickly and easily. Pop both lids back on when finished and store the soda in the can. It’s always ready for the next time. Mrs. Lenor Brletu
