Dear Abby

Stray remark reminds wife of pending divorce

DEAR ABBY: You are going to be my sounding board today. I’ve got to get this off my chest before I explode. My husband and I have been separated since November. We have three children, the eldest a son of 14 1/2. Now for the problem that’s eating me up. It’s the expression “Take care of your mother.” When my husband walked out the door, he turned to our son and said, “Take care of your mother.” When my parents were told of our separation, before they left, they, too, told my son, “Take care of your mother.” Again, the same stupid remark was made by my in-laws. And every time we meet relatives, the parting words to my son are, “Take care of your mother.” Doesn’t anyone realize the responsibility that is being placed on a child’s shoulders by such an irresponsible remark? My son has just started his first year of high school and is doing well. He is experiencing all the problems of adolescence, and the burden of “taking care of his mother” should not be thrust upon him. Even though it is just an expression of concern, I think it is highly tasteless and very carelessly used. It’s one thing to be told by a dying father to take care of one’s aging mother, but quite another thing to be said to a teen-age boy! I’d like to hear your feelings on this. FUMING IN FULLERTON, CALIF. DEAR FUMING: I think you are overreacting to a comment that was not meant to be taken literally. People don’t expect your 14 1/2-year-old son to “take care of you,” but in an effort to make him feel like “the man of the house,” they are also reminding you that you are now without a husband, which is both tasteless and thoughtless. * * * DEAR ABBY: In the case of the mother-in-law whose son is dead, his widow should be introduced as “my former daughter-in-law.” That will tell the whole story. In other words, the person to whom the introduction is being made will understand that the woman’s son is dead—not divorced. An “ex” is divorced, a “former” is due to death. You’re welcome. A FAN IN MONTANA DEAR FAN: According to my dictionary, “ex” is a

family

synonym for “former.” Although “ex” is usually used to mean divorced, “former” can also mean divorced. “Late” always means deceased, but better late than never. „ „ „ DEAR ABBY: About 10 years ago (maybe it was 15, I can’t remember exactly), you had something in your column about a man who was carrying his elderly father down to the river in a basket. (He was going to drown him.) Can you find that letter and run it again, Abby? J. IN PELZER, S.C. DEAR J.: Unless you pinpoint the date of publication, it’s too time-consuming to search through hundreds of published columns. I do remember the letter, however, and it went something like this: An able-bodied, middle-aged man named John was carrying his elderly father in a basket. A stranger stopped and asked John where he was going with the old man. John replied, “I’m carrying my father to the river. I am going to drown him because he is old and unable to take care of himself.” The stranger then said, “Be sure to carry the basket back for your son. He will need it to carry you to the river one day.”

Heloise Salt-free fat best for seasoning skillet

DEAR HELOISE: I find your helpful hints very handy. However, I’d forgotten what you said about seasoning cast-iron skillets. Somehow, after wiping a skillet with grease and putting it in a 350-degree oven for several hours, it turned out sticky and gummy. I still

haven’t been able to get all of the sticky stuff off in spite of lots of scrubbing. What did I do wrong? Glory Payne * * * I’U have to guess, but the problem was probably in the grease. It is important to use either suet or salt-free fat to rub the cast-iron skillet with. There may have been impurities in the grease you used and they probably were baked into the skillet while in the oven. The next time, be sure to use suet or salt-free fat. Your skillet may not yet be lost. I’m not sure exactly what you have done to clean it but I suggest hot, sudsy water and very gentle scrubbing with a steel-wool pad. Once clean, immediately dry the skillet. Then it should be ready to season. As I mentioned before, be sure to use suet or salt-free fat to generously rub the interior of the skillet or pot. Put it in a 300-degree oven for two hours. Let it cool first or remove it from the oven with a DRY potholder. To keep cast-iron utensils in good shape, after each use, wipe them out with a small amount of cooking oil on a paper towel or spray with a little non-stick vegetable spray. Remove any excess with a paper towel. U you do this after every use of your cast-iron skillet, it will serve you and yours faithfully for years to come. Heloise RAZOR BURNS Dear Heloise: I know that you don’t shave, but for men like myself who get a razor bum on occasion, I have a hint to help. Before shaving, I spread the area with a thin coat of petroleum jelly. I wipe off the excess and shave. My skin stays much softer and doesn’t seem to be as dry, itchy or flaky. Since I spend a lot of time out in the elements because of my job, this is a great help. And my wife says there’s nothing like a smooth, soft, clean-shaven man. R.D.L. * ★ * This works on my legs. Thanks for writing.—Heloise CAT FOOD Dear Heloise: like most cats, ours is a picky eater and my husband was always complaining about the smelly dish lying around, so I solved the problem. I found a big oleo bowl with a lid. Now, when I feed her, she eats a little and I put the lid on and when she comes back to eat again, I take the lid off. This way, she always eats as much as she wants and leaving the lid on when she isn’t nibbling makes my husband happy. And there is nothing like a happy husband! E. Letunik Dear Heloise: I get so many good hints from your column that I wanted to share one of mine. I bought a raincoat that had no belt loops and I was afraid that I would lose the belt. I saved myself a lot of worry by taking the extra button that came with the raincoat and sewing it at one side seam at the level I would wear the belt. Then, I made a button hole in the belt. Now I can button the belt on and not be concerned about losing it. Marjorie
