Dear Abby: Full-figured gals discover fat is no fun

DEAR ABBY: This is in response to Mat-Chested in 111.” who felt inadequate because she didn’t have more. I have had “too much” (381)) since eighth grade, and I was miserable. All through high school I was teased, humiliated and sexually harassed. I even had to quit cross country running because it was too painful and embarrassing. “Flat-Chested” doesn’t need a fuller figure; she needs a higher self-esteem. If I had an extra $2,000 lying around, I would treat myself to breast-reduction surgery. TOO MUCH IN TEXAS DEAR TOO MUCH: My mail this week would bring joy to the “Have Nots” who assume that all gentlemen prefer bigbreasted women. Read on: DEAR ABBY: You told “FlatChested,” who felt inadequate, to wear a padded bra. Well, here is one man who would consider it unfortunate were she to take your advice. Why? Because the flatter the chest, the more passionate the woman. I’m in my 50s now, and it’s not just my opinion. I’ve talked to a lot of men, and they all said flatchested women make better lovers. Please tell flat-chested women not to envy their big-bosomed sisters. Nature has a way of compensating. LIKES ’EM SMALL IN lOWA

DEAR ABBY: This is for “FlatChested in Moline, 111 ”: In the days before they had padded bras, I was flat-chested, so I wore “falsies.” Then one day my bra came undone and one of my “breasts” fell off! I hated being flat-chested and longed for larger breasts, then lo and behold, I discovered 1 had added several inches to my chest. The only trouble was, I had doubled my inches everywhere else! I was no longer flat—l was fat! At last I had the bust I had always wanted, but I wasn’t nearly as attractive as I was before I doubled my 110 pounds. I thought about how I used to hate my flat chest, then I noticed how fashionable and smart-looking the fashion models were. They were all flat-chested—every one of them! So, dearie, don’t waste any more time longing for what you don’t have. You may get it some day, and wish you didn’t. If you have two, healthy, cancerfree breasts, thank God, no matter what size. FORMER FLATTIE IN AUGUSTA, GA. DEAR ABBY: I totally disagree with your advice to “Flat-Chested." Wearing a padded bra might make her look better, but what happens when she takes it off in the company of a man who was expecting more? I was as flat-chested as they come, so all through high school my mother had me wearing padded bras. I didn’t fool anybody. The girls in my gym class soon found out that

the 36B’s I was showing off weren’t really me, and it wasn’t long before all the boys knew, too. (Girls talks and so do boys.) I finally decided it wasn’t worth the teasing, so I threw away my padded bras. I figured honesty is the best policy, so why put on a false front? I’VE GOTTA BE ME * * ♦ DEAR ABBY: I’m surprised you

Heloise Professional refinishers only remedy for dingy tub

DEAR HELOISE: Over the past 20 years, our bathtub has lost its slick, shiny enameled finish. Can an old bathtub be “restored?” Is there a special spray or paint one could use to make it slick and shiny again? Dick James * * ¥ Professionals use spray materials in refinishing a bathtub but I know of nothing that a do-it-yourselfer could successfully apply. Bathtub refinishers use spay-on synthetics that are applied one coat at a time. When properly done, the results are extremely satisfactory. No more yucky tubs, no more endless scrubbing, no more closing the shower curtain to hide the tub when company comes... If you elect to have the tub refinisbed, be sure you deal with a reputable company. Ask to see samples of refinished tubs in the customers’ homes, if possible and ask for several references. Check with the Better Business Bureau to get an idea of the company’s standing. Have any complaints been lodged against them? Be sure the work is guaranteed in writing. A refinished tub should be smooth as silk not grainy, free of thin spots or ripples. The coating can extend right to the adjoining walls and floor. Look in the classified pages of the telephone book under “Bathtub Refinishing” for a company in your area that does this work. This service may not be available in smaller cities. If you have your tub refinished, follow care instructions to the letter, especially when it comes to cleaning the tub. Never, never, never, use abrasive powders on any fixture, especially a refinished tub, or you will eventually have to have it refinished again. —Heloise KEEPING TRACK Dear Heloise: Because I can never Justus weds DeSutter Jan. 12 Raymond DeSutter, Attica and Clara Justus, Greencastle, were united in marriage Jan. 12 at St. Paul-the-Apostle Roman Catholic Church, Greencastle, at a nuptial Mass performed at noon.

The couple will honeymoon in Florida for the winter and return home at 504 E. Jackson St., Attica.

didn’t recommend silicone implants to “Flat-Chested.” I spent 39 years hating my body, then I decided to have breastaugmentation surgery. I’m only sorry I waited so long.

remember how many garden seeds to buy from one year to the next, I started keeping a gardening record. I list the varieties and number of seeds purchased, how they produced, planting and harvesting dates and note any changes I might make the next year. Sure helps to make garden planning easier. Kristin Downer SEWING HELP Dear Heloise: I have two sewing tips I find very useful... I like to cut out a garment on my table rather than bending over a bed, but my table is too small to spread out the pattern to my liking. So, I adjust my ironing board to the same height of my table and use it as an extension for the cutting board. The cutting board is well-braced and makes working with the pattern much easier. Alive Alliason MORNING RUSH Dear Heloise: Someone once suggested using a timer so the early morning coffee would be ready when one arises. Why not use this same idea for electric hot hair rollers. They would be ready when needed - surely would be a time saver when one is rushed mornings. Anita Kavalsky ♦ * * It sure would! Heloise SHARE, SHARE ALIKE Dear Heloise: My kids were always fighting over who got the biggest piece of cake or the fullest glass of something. Then, I started letting one child measure and letting the other child have first choice. You should see how the measurer makes sure everything is equal. No more fighting! Karen Wisneski WINE CORKS Dear Heloise: Save wine bottle corks! I put at least three under each of my plant pot containers to let air under them, so hardwood floors and carpet don’t get moldy from the moisture that accumulates after watering. -- Terry Markisohn * * * Never set a plant on the floor unless there is something under it Even clay trays and saucers let moisture escape on your floor or carpet Clay is porous, which is why it is such a good container for plants. It allows them to breathe. Put something under plant containers that will keep moisture from seeping through.—Heloise SPECIAL CUPCAKES Dear Heloise: I have a great treat for children who love cupcakes. Shortly before removing cupcakes from the oven, treat the children by putting a marshmallow on each one for the frosting. Joan Dixon. NYLON‘GLOVES’ Dear Heloise: I could not find cosmetic gloves when I had sore chapped hands. I greased my hands at night and used the feet of sane old nylons instead. They worked as well as gloves. Mrs. E. Fixel. PLASTIC STRIPS Dear Heloise: On rainy days, most newspapers are delivered in long, plastic bags. These bags can be split down each side, then opened up to make a long strip of plastic. I save these strips and use them to tie up large plants, such as tomato plants, in my spring garden. - Virginia Rose ♦ * * Another recycling hint. They’re my favorite kind! Thank you!
