Dear Abby

DEAR ABBY: When “Kathleen” asked you if because her son and his first cousin had gone to another state to marry, then returned to live in Massachusetts, would they be living in sin in Massachusetts, you replied, “A valid marriage is valid in every state.” Then Elaine Trudeau, the registrar in the Registry of Vital Records in Boston, challenged your statement with “Wrong! Not in Massachusetts!”

Heloise Double stitching saves old jeans from garbage

DEAR HELOISE: After years of trying to mend many worn-out but much-loved blue jeans, I have come up with what I think is the easiest way to patch them. I open up the inseam of the leg that needs to be patched. I thread the sewing machine needle with clear nylon thread and use regular colored polyester in the bobbin. I place the patch on the wrong side of the hole and stitch over the patch on the right side as often as needed to secure it in place, making sure I stitch along the vertical and horizontal grain of the jean fabric. When the patch is finished, I pin the inseam of the leg together and resew it with a double row of stitching to prevent raveling. What I have when I am finished is a pair of those favorite jeans saved from the garbage. Shudde Fath WINE DECANTERS Dear Heloise: I have a wine decantei that I considered throwing out because of unsightly rings of residue near the bottom. Because of the shape of the bottom, I couldn’t reach the deposits with my hand or scrub tool. I tried a few other things but after several cleansers failed me, I thought of using a foaming toilet bowl cleanser and water. It worked like a charm removing all traces of the stain in one application. The decanter is now crystal clear and I’m proud to use it. Of course I washed and rinsed it thoroughly after using the cleanser. M.S. GOURD FEEDER Dear Heloise: I know this isn’t original, but I’m sending it anyway. I cut a large hole in an unpainted gourd and hollow it out for birds to feed from. Then I punch a hole in the stem, thread it with wire and hang it from a tree branch near a window so that I can watch the birds. Perhaps the best things in life are free after all. I don’t buy any special food for birds in the winter months, but I do save greens, seeds and bread crumbs for them. in return I am rewarded with beautiful music, lovely colors and, on the practical side, a bit more room in the garbage pail. Tina Ramsey ★ * * What a worthwhile exchange! Heloise ORGANIZE THREAD Dear Heloise: I sew for a living ai.d have boxes of used and unused thread just thrown

Marriage valid in one state, valid in all

helter-skelter in a drawer. When looking for a particular shade or color I had to look through the entire mess. I solved the problem by putting all the shades of a particular color into one clear plastic bag. Now when I want a certain shade of blue, red or green, I just have to open that one bag. It sure does save me time and a lot of frustration. Toni Beavers PAINLESS SPLINTERS Dear Heloise: When my children were small, I found a marvelous and painless way to remove splinters from small hands and feet. I just put a drop of numbing toothache remedy on the splinter and wound. The flesh was anesthetized long enough to probe for the splinter with a sterilized instrument with little or no pain. D.S. ★ * ★ How smart! I bet there are many little fingers that will thank you. Heloise

Your response: “Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa.” For the record, Abby: Article IV, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States clearly and unequivocally states: “Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records and judicial proceedings of every other state.” Thus a marriage valid in any state is valid in all states; and public officials who deny this are violating their constitutional oaths, which according to Article VI, paragraphs 2 and 3, take precedence over all state law and constitutions. ROBERT J. TURNER, HOPEWELL, VA. DEAR MR. TURNER: As I told Ms. Trudeau, “I learned a lesson today. When it comes to law, never assume anything.” Now, how does one go about rescinding not only a “mea culpa,” but a “maxima culpa”? * * * DEAR ABBY: I lived with a woman for six months, and we had sex just like married folks do. We had a fight and I didn’t see her for about three months. I stopped at her place one night, and she let me in. I asked her for sex and she said no. I got angry and forced her to have sex with me against her will. She claims I raped her. I say that because she willingly had sex with me several times before, she can’t all of a sudden holler “rape.” Who is right? ME IN lOWA DEAR ME: She is. It doesn’t matter how many times she consented previously, if you forced her to have sex with you against her will, you are guilty of rape. * * * DEAR ABBY: In a recent column you recommended psychiatric treatment for a couple married 45 years who lived in a house so cluttered that no one could turn around. After 50 years and seven children, my wife and I would like to add our thoughts. Our home has approximately eight bedrooms. Two rooms are filled with textbooks because our children all graduated from college with Ph.D.s and master’s degrees. One room is filled with old radios, games, sports equipment and trophies. All the bureau drawers are filled with children’s things.

The cellar is filled with old furniture, which I plan to restore when I get old. (I am 78 now.) My wife still has all the letters, Christmas, Easter and birthday cards received over the last 50 years—plus thousands of snapshots of our seven children and 18 grandchildren. We are savers, so much so that our children know exactly where to go to borrow anything, including money. We admit we need psychiatric help—about four doctors with brooms, mops, shovels, scrub brushes and buckets. The answer to all this is obvious: Buy another house and leave everything to the kids.
