Show The Herald Journal Logan Utah Friday April 23 2004 — C3 FOR BETTER OR WORSE Movie patron a nuisance By Kathy Mttclwll & Marcy Sugar Creators Svndte Inc noise and movement is to be expected one should not become a constant nuisance It’s amazing how some folks would rather be rude than say “I’m sorry” DEAR ANNIE: I am a girl who reads your column daily and was wondering if you could help me I have a spot on each of my breasts They look like bruises My breasts are sore sometimes anyway so at Arst I didn't pay much attention to the spots but they’ve been here for six months and I’m starting to worry I’m close with my mom but I can’t bring myself to ask her about it I’m afraid she'd take me to the doctor and money is tight Could you just tell me if the spots are normal? — Wondering in the US DEAR WONDERING: We consulted Dr Susan Jay director of the Division of Adolescent Medicine and Dr Amy Forrer Medicine-Pediatriresident both at Loyola University Health System in Maywood III Here is their' response: “First bruises commonly occur from trau-iq- a The trauma could be from the uriderwire in your bra or even from a contact sport but generally six months of unresolved bruising is too long unless the injury is recurring The 'bruise’ may also be more of an irritation of the skin called contact dermatitis Again your bra may be the culprit if the wiring contains nickel or an allergic material “Second once you start your period you may have mild breast discomfort for a few days monthly It would be best if you were seen by a physician to make sure your breasts are developing normally and to answer other questions about your changing body Please talk to your mother about this and look into a free clinic in your neighborhood so that your concerns can be more thoroughly evaluated” DEAR ANNIE: I recently took my daughter to see an movie The entire time the woman behind me kicked my seat and used it for leverage whenever she stood up This was so constant and bothersome that I Anally turned around and politely said “You keep bonking my chair Would you please be more careful?” Instead of apologizing the woman loudly replied “Oh why don’t you just relax lady? Can’t you see I'm here with my children? I mean calm down” This' confused my daughter who could see that I already was completely calm Since the woman was being irrational I ignored her and tried to watch the rest of the movie I could have moved but had we stood up others would have been inconvenienced What gels me is why this woman didn't take responsibility for her actions She knew she was hitting my chair A simple apology would have sufAced Instead she will raise another generation of people who believe they are never to blame Should I have handled this differently? — Someone Who Still Believes in Manners DEAR SOMEONE: You handled it Ane although had you stood up you could have asked an usher or the manager to take care of the situation Some people think children's movies are so informal that they can behave any way they wish and no one is entitled to complain While a certain amount of extra By THE REAL ESTATE IF WHY?
