Heloise

Physical first, then exercise Dear Heloise: After years of sitting around, I decided to start an exercise program. Before I got started, I had a good check-up from my doctor and he gave me the go-ahead, with the following instructions: He told me that if I don’t stay flexible, the tendons that attach muscles to bones will shorten and every movement will be difficult and painful. The first thing 1 always do is warm up gradually by running in place or walking a block or so. I stretch my arms, legs and body slowly, never bouncing. If you start to hurt, stop. Don’t strain and pull muscles. It’s very important to warm up, then when finished to stretch and cool down. Please tell your readers how important it is to get a physical first and not to just jump into a strenuous exercise program. It can save a life. Bill Cook, Dallas, Texas I agree, especially after 35 or so. You may feel healthy, but something could be wrong that could show up in a physical examination. We have all heard of people dying of a heart attack the first time they exercised strenuously. Don't let that happen to you! PERSONAL DISKS Dear Heloise: I was delighted to see in your column that you and your secretaries are moving into the 19905. I have been meaning to send my favorite computer tip to you, so now that you’ve asked, I’ll send it. Each person in our home, including 10-year-old Steve, has his or her own personal computer disk. We name files after the people we correspond with. When I write to my mom I pull up her file and immediately know the last time I wrote to her and the things I told her. After I write my new letter I save it so that I will have the same information next time. Bonnie Kellogg, New Orleans, La.

Dear Abby

Good spanking her graduation ‘gift’?

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I received a graduation announcement from “Jennifer,” the daughter of a man who works for the same company my husband works for. They live in another state, we have never met the girl, and my husband and her father are not close friends. We saw no reason to send this girl a gift, but we did send a very nice card. Today, we received an acknowledgment from Jennifer. Inside the envelope was the card we had sent her, folded to fit the small envelope. Her message was: “Thank you so much for the nice card for my graduation. I thought maybe you would like to use the card again. (Signed) Jennifer.” Abby, I never knew it was mandatory to send a gift when one receives an announcement. We send graduation gifts to all our relatives and friends we know well. Were we wrong to send only a card? I am now thinking that perhaps she could have used a book on etiquette. BEWILDERED IN NEWARK DEAR BEWILDERED: An announcement is not a bill. Under the circumstances, you were under no obligation to send a gift. I doubt that an etiquette book would help. What Jennifer could really use is a good spanking. * * * DEAR ABBY: I am currently in the U.S. Navy and have just returned from a six-month deployMiss Barrett, Minnick to wed Sept. 10 Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Barrett, Bloomington, announce the engagement and upcoming marriage of their daughter, Suzanna Kay, to Mark Wayne Minnick, son of former Greencastle residents Donna and Robert (“Rock”) Minnick, now of Carlisle, Pa.

ment in Keflavik, Iceland. I want to tell you that through Operation Dear Abby, I met the woman of my dreams! We corresponded for six months and I finally met her when I came home on leave, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. I want to thank the thousands of Dear Abby readers who sent letters to our troops in Keflavik. What a great morale booster! It helps to know that people appreciate our efforts when we’re overseas. Needless to say, it made my holiday season much happier. Now my future looks brighter because of the wonderful woman I met through you. Thank you. AO2 BRUCE BLOUNT, KEY WEST, FLA. P.S. Here’s a letter from “her”: DEAR ABBY: I took part in your Operation Dear Abby to cheer those men in uniform who would be far from home over the holidays. I decided to write to someone in Iceland because that seemed like the most desolate place in the world

to be over the holidays. To my surprise, a Navy man named Bruce answered my letter. During the six months we exchanged letters, we discovered we had a lot in common. And when we finally met, I became a true believer in “love at first sight.” Abby, there is something very special about getting to know a person “between the lines” of letters. Our lives will never be the same. Thank you for bringing us together. LIN CHARVAT, SCHAUMBURG, ILL. DEAR BRUCE AND LIN: Congratulations.
