Dear Abby Up front approach best way to score in dating game

DEAR ABBY: A reader signed “Thanks, hut No Thanks” asks, “When a woman does not want to date a man, how does she turn him down without hurting his feelings?” It isn’t easy to turn down a man without hurting his feelings. As a man who’s been turned down a lot, I should know. Be honest. If he has BO or bad breath, tell him. You will he doing him a favor. If you think he’s too short, too fat, too young or too old for you, tell him, so he’ll quit asking you. Giving a guy false hope will hurt him more in the long run than an honest truth. Tell him! He’ll live. I did. CEDAR RAPIDS, lOWA DEAR ABBY: I’ve been turned down for a date with, “Sorry, I have to wash my hair.” Now, if a man isn’t turned off by that, he must be a masochist. I would have appreciated a lie such as, “I’m involved right now in a personal relationship where I simply don’t date, but thanks anyway.” J.D. IN L.A. DEAR ABBY: If a girl is asked out by someone she has just met and has no desire to date, she could tell him that she has an obligation to someone who is very important to her and she wants to remain faithful to that person, so she must decline. That “person” is herself, of course, but

Hints from Heloise Making wide ties into narrow ones a snap

DEAR HEIX)ISE: Could you please repeat the instructions for making wide ties into the more popular, narrow ones? My husband thinks it should be very simple. But he hasn’t tried to do it! Thanks so much! M.K. * * * It really isn’t all that difficult, if you sew at all. Just rip out the seam on the wider end of the tie, then cut the inner lining to the width wanted. Measure carefully, cutting the same amount off each side of the lining, tapering to where the narrow end begins. Press out the old folds of the outer tie fabric. Fold the tie to fit the lining and turn raw edges under, cutting off excess material, if

Food scales tip Consumption down, price up

By LOUISE COOK Associated Press Writer Americans are trimming their wallets and their waistlines at the same time. A recently released report by the Department of Agriculture shows that per-capita food consumption dropped by a little less than half a percent from 1982 to 1981. At the same time, however, retail food prices went up 4 percent and personal consumption expenditures on food went up 6.3 percent. Note: The price and expenditure figures are different because they reflect different things. Retail prices for food are measured by the Department of Labor as part of the Consumer Price Index and show the cost of a marketbasket of items. The expenditure statistic comes from the Department of Commerce; it reflects not only inflation, but also changing quantities and tastes. In general, Americans ate

any. Pin or baste edges in place. Steam press lightly, then slip stitch edges together, same as on the original tie. Press lightly again if needed. That’s all there is to it. Only takes a short while to do and if your husband has many ties, you will have saved yourself dozens of dollars! Heloise LETTER OF LAUGHTER Dear Heloise: Thought I’d clean my dishwasher so I followed your directions and put laundry detergent in, and turned it on. I went to my porch and sat down to have a cold drink. My neighbor rang the doorbell when I got to the door I was ankle deep in suds. They went

less red meat, fresh fruits and dairy products in 1982 than they did a year earlier. They ate more poultry and fresh vegetables. The overall increase in food prices in 1982 was the smallest in six years. The biggest jumps were in the cost of pork, oranges and apples. The price of chickens, potatoes and fats and oils decreased. The USDA estimates that consumers spent $299 billion in 1982 for foods which were produced on U.S. farms. It also says farmers got about SB3 billion, with $216 billion or more than twothirds of the total, going for costs involved in getting the food from the farm to the shopper. The government statistics show the share of disposable income which Americans spend on all foods, domestic and imported, at home and in restaurants, stayed about the same from 1981 to 1982 going

he doesn’t need to know that. SHARI, BIRMINGHAM, ALA. DEAR ABBY: Saying “Thanks, but no thanks” has always worked for me. But it must be said with sincerity and kindness. Don’t waste his time or yours. The truth is sure to come out eventually, which will hurt his feelings much more than an up-front, honest answer. And since a lot of women are now asking the guys out, remember, this works both ways. NO LIES IN MESA, ARIZ. DEAR ABBY: When I was a cocktail waitress in Chicago, I worked with a very good looking girl from Columbus, Ga., who had to practically beat the men off with a baseball bat. When someone she didn t care for would ask her out, she’d smile sweetly and say, “Oh, honey, I can’t go out with you; my fiance wouldn’t like it! I REMEMBER BUNNY SUE DEAR ABBY: What’s the big deal about turning down a date? There’s not a man (or woman) in the world who hasn’t been turned down by someone. Be 100 percent honest. If you say, “Thanks, but no thanks," and he asks, “Why?” just say, “Because I don’t want to.” The more lies you make up (“I have another date,’ “I m coming down with the flu” or “I’m going out of town

through the kitchen, the hall and on to the front door. Well, to make a long story short, it took almost an hour to clean up. People passing thought we had a fire and were using foam to put it out. Anyway I have a beautiful, clean kitchen floor and dishwasher. My neighbors helped so I invited them in for a while and we had a good laugh. We reread your article and realized it said to use a little bleach. Where did I get the idea of laundry detergent?... DUMB... DUMB... Melody Harmon * * * Sorry that happened, but this goes to show us please read carefully ’cause I can’t

from 16.2 percent to 16.1 percent. The USDA calculates the amount of food eaten in terms of something called a “retail weight equivalent,” converting raw material weights like the carcass of a steer into edible pounds and ounces. The newest numbers show per-capita food consumption in 1982 was 1,387.4 pounds almost three-fourths of a ton of food per person. The figure was down about seven pounds or a little less than 0.5 percent from 1981. Each person ate about 231

Each time she takes the elastic bands from her hair, she winds them on the handle of her own hairbrush. This saves so much time because the elastics are always in the right place. Beverly Hanlon

etc.), the more guilty you’ll feel. And you won t get away with it. A lie always comes home to roost. KANSAS CITY KITTY DEAR ABBY: What’s so tough about turning down a date? I’m a guy who would prefer that the girl just say, “Sorry, you’re not for me.’ Then I d quit wasting my time and try someone else. BEEN THERE IN ALASKA * * * DEAR ABBY: I once told a guy who asked me out that I couldn’t accept a date because I was involved with another fellow. That didn’t discourage him in the least; he kept asking. Finally I told him I was involved with another woman. I never heard from him again. NO MORE HASSLES IN OMAHA (Problems? What’s bugging you?
