Well, I don't suppose anybody ever wrote to you about something like this. It i$ about being talked into a nursing home by a relative and an auctioneer who also sold my home limt my will. So you might say I lost everything but my mayf consolation. I am an 89-vear-old man but can get around d is exce intful nuv ipoundv affairs were taken out of' agai lue, and I can't forget it. So maybe you can give me some consolation. pretty good A. Being bitter arid resentful now about what's been done to •-vea and my mind is excellent. >itter i you will only com] our misery. It does sound as if your your control. But at least you can be grateful for a warm and comfortable place to live, people to care for you and the opportunity to help in planning interesting activities among the residents of the nursing home. Life can really be very good ior you if you make up your mind to make it so. We are sending you our pamphlet Make Living an Exciting Experience which we hope will be of help.

I am nice, friendly, kind, thoughtful and well-likea by people of both sexes. I am not beautiful but I take pains to look as good as possible. I am reasonably intelligent, articulate and well- read. But never in my life have I had a date-none whatsoever. There's a young man here at college who is absolutely the iost affectionate guy I've ever known, and I'm McHenry County college is inviting adults to attend four free seminars during the month of January. - The seminars are spon-H sored by the college's re­ entry program for adults who are interested in returning to school. The informal' sessions are discussion oriented and deal with problems many adults face. Two of the "Brown Bag" seminars are held from noon to 2 p.m. They include "Teacher Terror", a session designed. to convince students that teachers are not ogres, which meets Jan. 14 and "How to Remember What You Read", a session covering memory research, and reading strategies Jan. The "bleacher Terror" session will feature MCC Economics Instructor Jeff - Ryan and the reading session will be led by Paulette Gruber, an in­ structor in the college's Individualized Study laboratory. Two evening "Brown Bag" seminars will meet from 7 to 9 p.m. in Room 143 at the college. A Jan. 21 session led by MCC Coun­ selor Mary Kay Messling will include "Assertiveness Training" to help one say what he is feeling and thinking. • * A Jan. 28 evening session on the subject of "Math Anxiety" will be led by Tom Lloyd, a part-time math instructor at the college.

What do the other girls have that I don attracted to him. He is always nice to me, but I might as it tak S possible that it is God's will that I'll never date? e to get that guy to ask me i t nave? Is it A. You sound like a well-organized, common sense girl. And I don't believe you will ever go off the beam morally to get dates as some less bright people do. All you need to do is just be fun to be with. Laugh. Be alive. Take a genuine interest in everyone of both sexes. Be a personality force among your peers. Guard against being dominating. Be feminine in the best sense. Femininity has an inherent attraction when skillfully exercised. Unfriendly Stepchildren Q. I've been married four years and I love my husband very much. The problem is his two daughters, 10 and 13, who live with their mother and visit us every weekend. They don't seem to like me very much. When I enter the room they leave it. They never talk to me or show any awareness that I'm even in the same room. They never help me around the house. Their father says there is nothing he can do about this. Am I wrong in not wanting them to come visit anymore? Am I wrong for trying to get them to understand that I'm married to their father and they will have to accept this? A. Their mother's attitude toward you may, understandably, condition the children's response. Your best procedure is not to push yourself with them. Just be friendly and kindly in a relaxed manner. In time they will see you for what you are, a nice woman who loves their father, whom they love. Their attitude toward you should soften when approached in this way. Patience!
