ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Consult a lawyer, or discuss the issues with your kids Dear Annie: I am 90 years old and am concerned that after I die my kids will squabble over my things. So I would like to work it out before that happens. I have a daughter who lives in another state and two wonderful daughters-in-law who live nearby. "Dora" and my oldest son have helped me the most. When my husband was still living, they arranged a reverse mortgage on our house by making us a loan from their personal funds. When my husband became feeble, Dora began doing my grocery shopping. Every Sunday, she brings a nice dinner, and my son does any needed repairs around the house. She always brings me a gift on Mother's Day and on my birthday. I already have given Dora two nice heirlooms, and I know she would like to have my mother's sterling silver. My daughter will get the antique wall clock, and my other daughter-in-law gets the china closet. How do I divide the rest of the stuff? Should I give Dora the sterling now? — Old in Indiana Dear Indiana: Please speak to an estate planner or, at the very least, a lawyer who can handle your will. As tempting as it is to give more to Dora than the others, it could create all sorts of resentments later. The division of your estate should be relatively equal, but you can make special gifts of pieces of jewelry or sentimental items. If you think your children will behave themselves, it can help to discuss this with all of them in advance, asking each child to select one item that they would like to have. And yes, you can give it to them while you are around to see them enjoy it. Dear Annie: Am I the only person who is disappointed by generic email Christmas and birthday cards? They seem so impersonal, and I do not appreciate receiving such cold greetings. One longtime friend has resorted to this, in spite of the fact that I always mail her an old-fashioned, hand-signed card. How can I get her to stop sending me email cards without hurting her feelings? Would it be rude to return the greeting to her? I'm an old-fashioned person who was raised during the age of smoke signals and find that life used to be much simpler and warmer. — Over-Seventy Attitude Dear Attitude: We agree that email cards are less personal than handwritten notes, but it does take a certain amount of effort to select the right one from hundreds of possibilities, so try to give your friend credit for that. And many people have stopped sending cards altogether, which is a shame. Please accept these cards in the spirit in which they were sent — that is, to convey good wishes to you. (But do please continue to send handwritten notes of your own. They are much more charming.) Dear Annie: "Iowa" doesn't like that her husband still goes to bars, but when he asks whether it's OK for him to go alone, she always says "yes." She should tell her husband that her interests have changed and then work on a compromise. Why not tell him directly that she really wants to be with him on those precious weekends when he opts to go out with friends? She could propose specific activities she would like instead. She could even suck it up and agree to accompany him once a month. And if the point of going to bars is being with friends, perhaps she could host an event for them at her home. — Fred Dear Fred: You are correct that if she doesn't express herself, the situation isn't likely to change. We like your suggestions and hope she will consider them. Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE
Vinegar created a clear path for shower head Dear Heloise: A few months ago, while helping my dad with some things in the house, we could not figure out how to get calcium deposits off the shower head in his bathroom. The water was barely flowing. He dismantled the shower head and soaked it in a bowl of vinegar. Within 30 minutes, it was perfectly clean and void of any blockage. My mother, who always used vinegar, and Heloise knew what they were doing! Our water is full of calcium and leaves showers and sinks spotted! I had tried expensive bathroom and tile cleaners. Nothing succeeded until I started pouring straight vinegar over the calcium buildup. (Heloise here: Do
Hints from Heloise Columnist not pour on real marble.) Vinegar has become my cleaner of choice. I just wanted to thank you. — Sherry in New Braunfels, Texas Sherry, thank you for sharing how super vinegar is. Vinegar certainly is a workhorse around the home, and it is one of my favorite go-to cleaners! I have compiled a
collection filled with money-saving and “green” vinegar hints. If you would like to receive one, please send $5 and a long, selfaddressed, stamped (65 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Fresh cola stains should come out of most washable fabrics after being sponged with white vinegar. Launder as usual. — Heloise PET PAL Dear Readers: Cathy in Madison, Maine, sent us a picture of Duckie, her 130-pound mixedbreed dog, crashed out on the couch next to Zelda, a tortoise-colored cat. They look like best buddies! To see Duckie and Zelda, visit
www.Heloise.com and click on “Pets.” — Heloise CAREFUL SHIPPING Dear Heloise: I would like to warn your readers regarding shipping valuable pictures. My mother moved across the country several years ago. To save space in the moving van, she sent her three children’s baby pictures (through high school) to her new address. The boxes never reached the intended destination. Hence, all the pictures were lost! — Sue in Rogers, Ark. Yikes! Sorry to hear about this, but thank you for writing to warn my readers. Better to carry precious personal items with you when you move. — Heloise
