And perhaps that's okay, since the months are a bit less busy and the weather is often bleak. When that's the case, I must admit I find it appealing to stay curled up indoors and like the mending. tend to quiet matters But for some people, mending is a chore, a real pain. They find it dull and (although I have seen some very creative mending jobs in my time). needs mending. Perhaps you could cover a cardboard box with pretty contact paper. Or maybe you'd prefer a large basket, or an but specially labeled drawer. The choice of container is up to you, but clothes needing repair are not the most aesthetically pleasing sight. If you have to look at them piled in a heap every day, you will only grow to detest them even more iust ask me! Thirdly, establish a specific time for mending clothes. Once a year is not often enough! (So in this case, do as I say and not as I do! ) The time should be regular, but not rigid. As you plan your week, select a time to do it. I like to pick out a special or favorite television show to LISTEN to while I mend. (I can even justify an occasional soap opera this way.) Perhaps you would prefer to put on a favorite record. Take your choice. Maybe the time can be spent visiting with someone in your family or a friend while you work. Better yet invite a friend over to mend with you but not for you. (Misery loves company.) mid-wint- No one says you have to like mending, - if you want but it does have to get done the kids' new Christmas clothes to make it through until spring! With some forethought; the task can be made more palatable even mildly pleasant. First of all, recruit help! Literally train the members of your family to periodically inspect their clothes when they take them off. It'll save the clothing from fallin ing apart if they make it into the wash critical condition. Secondly, have a convenient and attractive container handy for all clothing that You can even turn the time into precious teaching moments with a child. Working together can be much more satisfying. Who knows maybe the child will think mending is fun and will take over completely. (Well, one can always hope!) A friend of mine has to do a lot of telephoning, so she keeps a mending kit near the phone so that hand work can be done while she's talking. If it works, why not? Whatever the solution, plan the time in such a way as to make it enjoyable for you. After selecting a time to mend, write it down on your calendar. When the appointed time arrives and you just can't face it move it over a page or two on the but not too far. calendar You want to be flexible, but. let's face it, you really don't want it to pile sky high. The bigger the pile the more intestinal fortitude required to get at the task and to complete it. It's really a good feeling to cross that task off your list of things to do. It's also nice to be able to button all your buttons and to raise your arm above waist level once again without feeling a draft!

Nicole Price won the novice division with her s Ann Landers CQ Enormous Ego Gets in the Way Dear Ann Landers: I just caught up with the letter from "One Who Has Been Acting for Years." Your standard advice, "Frank discussion and guiding your if you can HAVE a partner," is fine frank discussion with your bedmate and he's willing to be guided. I'm married to a man who takes great pride in his prowess as a lover. Any suggestion that his lovemaking is less than exquisite is an insult that turns him off to the extent that no sex is possible. He maintains that he is not the "kissy, cuddly type" and foreplay is out of the question. It's true that he wants sex with me often, and many women will say I should be grateful but it is always sex on his terms when and where and how he wants it. For me it is the loneliest act in the world. articles to read and tried to express my needs as best I know how, but to no avail. The agonizing part is that we are both deeply attracted to each other, and I know he could do for me what no man ever has, if only he would allow I have given him me to guide him. What now? Frustrated In Van Nuys Dear Van Nuys: Your husband's enormous ego and stubborn refusal to accept guidance knocks out all options for a better sex life for you. I am sorry fbr you both especially him. He doesn't know what he's missing. The jackass. Dear Ann Landers: I have been reading your column for many years and am aware of your strong feelings that children don't belong everyplace. I thought about that when I read, to my horror, that an American Nobel Prizewinner had invited his daughter and INFANT grandson to attend the awards ceremony in Stockholm. As one might expect, the baby became restless and interrupted the proceedings. This caused a good deal of embarrassment to those pre- sent. can imagine the whispers ... "It WOULD be an American."

I share vour discomfort. Dear Ann Landers: I'm originally from Salt Lake City and have been attending UCLA since September. I started to date a nice sophomore in October. His former girlfriend lives in my dorm. Last night Jerry came by after supper and asked me to go for a ride in his new car. I said I had some studying to do, but I would like to go for an hour. About five minutes from the beach I heard a small cough in the back seat. We were shocked to discover that Jerry's former girlfriend was lying on the floor, covered with a blanket. She got up, laughed and said it was a that she had planned to say "boo" joke and scare us. What do you think of a "joke" like this? Am I a stick - in - the - mud with no sense of humor, as she claims? Still Scalded Dear S.S.: The old flame was hoping to hear or see something that might embarrass you and Jerry. She sounds like a moron to me. Cross her off your list.
