What about her husband? Maybe ‘nothing is happening because HE has a problem It certainly was not clear from the woman's description of events that she has any medical difficulties I find it interesting that both you and the doctor seemed to automatically assume that the woman had the sexual dysfunction not the man In fact more often than not a couple is unable to have sex because the male cannot perform How about an explanation? — Dismayed in Providence DEAR PROVIDENCE: From the sound of the woman's letter I suspected that she might have a thick hymen Often readers' letters are too long and I must shorten them In this case I eliminated some critical information Sorry DEAR ANN LANDERS: I read with great interest the letter from “Been There in Chicago” Your correspondent said the best method for dividing possessions fairly when a family member dies is to have each beneficiary draw a number out of a bowl and select items in turn He said it would prevent hard feelings So what happens when everyone wants the same item and only one person has first choice? The family Ls still feuding And what happens to the items that NONE of them want? - BY BILL - I have a better solution — an estate auction My r: husband and I have been in the auction business for more than 20 years and there is no feud we haven’t heard about We know two sisters who haven! spo- ken to each other in a decade because they both ‘ wanted their mother's scoop Several years ago we knew a family of 10 children who were in a bitter fight over the same possessions Finally the mother said she would have an auction and give each of the siblings enough money so they could bid on the purchases they wanted The highest bidders would be the winners Well Ann would you believe that each of the 10 children preferred the money to the family heirlooms? Not one of them showed up for the auction When an estate auction is held it leaves the bidding open to everyone including the public The items then fetch the highest possible prices The heirs not only have the option of obtaining the items most valuable to them but they are able to share in the profits at the end of the auction At an auction EVERYTHING is sold including the “unwanted” 1 items d and firms are are Many auction equipped to do all the setting up advertising marketing and cleaning up This takes all the responsibility off the shoulders of the family members Please let your readers know — Green Bay Wis Auctioneers DEAR GREEN BAY: Thank you for a letter that deserves to be clipped and put in the family Bible It could save a great many family fights and prevent a lot of hard feelings You would not believe the amount of mail I get on this subject and some of it arrives AM£r ice-crea- m - saosEuas service-oriente- tear-stain- aazHSi SOMETIMES ed 0 1994 Creators 1 ‘HULK GZmiCRtPOblWilZ ARC OVERRATED Syndicate Inc Horoscope For Friday Dec 30 1994 invaluable GEMINI (May 20) Your earning capacity could increase at this time You are in a cycle where the service or expertise you offer could yield unusually larger returns CANCER (June 22) If you want to earn a reputation as a good guy make a sincere effort to treat others as you would have them treat you The golden rule Ls the best measure today LEO (July 22) A solution might be found today for a problem you’ve been unable to solve The answer will affect your entire family not just the perpetrator VIRGO (Aug 22) Even though you a feel little lonely today you should still might choose your companions carefully LIBRA (Sept 23) Your luck in financial situations will be unusually good today Think logically but do not ignore strong hunches or intuitive perceptions SCORPIO (Oct 22) Over the next few days you might hear from several friends you’ve been out of touch with for quite some time Strange circumstances could compel them to call SAGITTARIUS (Nov 21) Good things might happen to you today just because you’ll be in the right spot at the right time Watch for opportunities from sunup to sundown 21-Ju- ne Your birthday The year ahead could be prosperous for you if you're inspired to work harder to provide for those you love Taking care of them will help you as well n CAPRICORN (Dec 19) Hopes and expectations have a good chance of being fulfilled today if you approach your objectives in a practical manner Get a jump on life by understanding the influences which govern you in the year ahead Send for your h predictions today by mailing SI 25 to h co this newspaper PO Box 4465 New York NY 10163 Be sure to state your zodiac sign b 19) This might be a day AQUARIUS (Jan of substantial achievement What occurs may appear to be reasonably easy but you'll know better PISCES (Feb 20) You may be very well with for equipped dealing groups today The larger the group the better you'll do ARIES (March 19) Today you might have to deal with two individuals the world ha£ mistreated lately Your compassion will guide you and you'll know just what to say and do TAURUS (April 20) The greatest lessons today aren't apt to come from textbooks Knowledge you acquire through personal experience could prove 22-Ja- Astro-Grap- Astro-Grap- 20-Fe- 20-Mar- ch 21-Ap- ril 20-M- ay Dr Gott ' v' Joum) 21-Ju- Iy 23-A- ug 23-Se- REVISE HUNLIMUSWTWNETb SOME CF NW NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS Rfc INSTANCE 1 TWNK TU IUAN6E WLPfcE laUM 1 AMD EAT MX CREAM" JTb AM'WUOPRAU SN0t OPERA' pt 23-O- ct 24-N- ov 23-D- ec Cl 994 Newspaper Enterprise Assn ' DEAR DR GOTT: You often mention the value of bulk in the diet for people with elimination problems Our local visiting nurse’s office has developed a “colon cocktail” consisting of equal parts of unprocessed bran applesauce and prune juice You let the combination sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour to blend then take 1 to 2 tablespoons a day or more as needed This potion may take two weeks to be fully effective but it is a safe and natural formula Perhaps it will help your readers DEAR READER: Your “recipe” is a good one In fact it is now used routinely in one of our local nursing homes Thank you for writing DEAR DR GOTT: For years I’ve tried everything my doctor recommended plus everything advertised on TV for hemorrhoids Sunday evening 1 had dinner with friends and one of the women is a nut about Jcll-thinking it is good for everything that ails In desperation I gave it a try the following you O morning I cooked it according to the directions on the package and applied it to the affected area Not only did it do absolutely nothing to alleviate the pain but it made a horrible stain on my new white linen slacks Perhaps I shouldn’t have used strawberry Do you think either lemon Jell-- 0 or perhaps plain gelatin would be better?
