She’s reached a new low!
You all aren’t going to believe this if you don’t see it, so here it is! Annie Lane’s recent column! Dear Readers: One of the more interesting letters we received recently concerned dust mites, which are always a problem but especially during summer months when temperatures and humidity rise. I thought you would find these…

I’m bionic!
DEAR MISS MANNERS: How do I respond when people call me “the Bionic Woman”? I have had my hips, knees and ankles replaced, and have had four back surgeries, all due to an orthopedic disease. I sometimes have braces on my hands to help me tolerate the pain. I know they believe they are being…

Mother issues and a fake letter!
Dear Amy: My 83-year-old widowed mother is depressed, and I don’t know how to help. She refuses to see a therapist and sees drugs as a crutch. She has always been a very private person, is generally distrustful of doctors, and would never let down her shields to a stranger. I have told her that…

Monkeying around!
Dear Amy: My friend “Tina” and I have been friends since college and are now in our 50s. When we met we were members of a campus religious organization, however as the years passed we both drifted away from our religious affiliations. I now would call myself agnostic. Recently, Tina had a difficult breakup with…

Misread questions!
Dear Annie: I have had a friend for almost 10 years. I say almost as we are no longer friends. About six years ago, we parted ways as friends due to him letting his girlfriend create friction in our friendship and we agreed to just go our separate ways. Time goes on and three years…

Conflict today!
Dear Amy: My two sons are not speaking to one another, after a fight that occurred during Christmas two years ago. The result is that my granddaughters don’t like their uncle and aunt. The three girls are 11, 9, and 6. While sleeping overnight at my house last weekend, I told my granddaughters that I…

Please not the tickle monster!!
Dear Annie: My daughter is 8 years old and was recently diagnosed with autism. She was just diagnosed at age 7, but I have suspected she is autistic since about age 3 when she used to be severely speech-delayed. Over the years, I had suggested she was autistic to my husband several times, and his…

Geez, Gramps!
Dear Annie: Our granddaughter had been on drugs for several years. She had been in and out of jail and rehabs. She had two children, ages 1 and 2. She basically abandoned them, so we all decided tough love and prayer were the answer. She was found by the side of the road where someone…
