The Davis Enterprise
Washing hands and rinsing away the haters Dear Annie: It’s horrible to be judged. Here is my story: I am fortunate to have a nice car. This vehicle is my first new vehicle after 15 years of saving. From my additional savings, I am able to provide to others and deliver the items they need. I also have friends who do not have transportation to get from food drives and other similar places. When the schools closed, my daughter and I packed up what we had in our pantry and dropped it off at her friend’s house, knowing that they would need food. I went to a school district food distribution to secure more food for them to drop off since they didn’t have transportation to get to the drive. While there, I got death stares and screamed at that I didn’t need free food because of my car! I’m fortunate to have a nice car, but I’m using it to deliver food to those who need it most. I’m also purchasing food, diapers and formula for churches to distribute. Do not judge if you don’t know the whole story. — Don’t Judge a Book... Dear Don’t Judge a Book...: I’m sorry that you received such harsh judgment from others. In this world, unfortunately, there will always be people who judge or condemn others. However, there will also be people who forgive and love. You are teaching your daughter to serve others, and your helping to provide food and essential supplies for those who need support is admirable. Doesn’t that make you feel good? Try to focus on the people you are serving and not the people who are judging, and you will be surprised at how quickly the judges fall by the wayside. It’s about a shift in where you draw your attention. ——— Dear Annie: We are certainly in challenging times. It sounds like COVID-19 will be with us for a long time. As a semiretired nurse, I think one of the greatest preventive measures is good hand hygiene. Unfortunately, often I see poor technique when using the alcohol hand sanitizers. Most people use
one pump, rub their palms, back of hands, and between fingers but do not treat the fingertips. Most of us touch our faces, particularly our eyes, with our fingertips. While the palm is still wet with sanitizer, rub the fingertips into the palm, with some sanitizer getting under the nails. Even better is washing with soap and water for 20 seconds, again paying attention to the fingertips. I think people have become very complacent with alcohol sanitizers, thinking they have cleaned their hands and not realizing that it was an incomplete action, perhaps not ridding them of this infectious virus. I love your column, which brings so much helpful info and advice to many. Thank you for letting me share. — Old Nurse Dear Old Nurse: I love your letter! Hearing from professionals on tips for proper hand-washing, and the use of alcohol sanitizers, always deserves a round of applause. Thank you for your reminder on how to properly protect against this virus, and many others, through proper sanitation techniques.
Less expectations, less worry Dear Annie: I so enjoy your column, and, as usual, you are on target in your advice concerning the woman who was hurt by not being notified about her cousin’s death. Two things have caused me to be a happier person. One is dropping my expectations of others, and the other is choosing not to be offended. People generally don’t set out to hurt other people. They are encased in their own pain and trying to navigate through their own

rough waters. Those who would set out to cause pain are not worthy of our tears. I realized also that people cannot read my mind on what I want. So it’s best to give them what we need, which is love. Love lavishly, including those who are unlovable. Be thoughtful. Give encouragement and sincere compliments. I encourage this cousin to send loving words in sympathy cards to her grieving cousins. As you said, “grief has a way of wreaking havoc on short-term memory.” — Still Learning Dear Still Learning: Thank you for your wise words. True wisdom comes when you realize how little in the world you really know and you are forever a student of life. Seeing the world through love and compassion always leads to a better world and a happier life for you. ——— Dear Annie: In response to the letter regarding a request to wear socks at a party to preserve wood floors, such a request should always be accompanied by a statement of understanding that such an act is not possible for some guests. As a wheelchair user, I could not take my wheels off my chair! And some people can’t walk without their shoes, or they need to use a walker that scrapes the floor. We will never have a welcoming society for all if hosts create home features that they value over the ability of some guests to visit and enjoy their company. This is a sad example of prioritizing things over people. I had hoped you would point that out, as an example of your usual good advice. — Good Guest in Kansas Dear Good Guest in Kansas: Thank you for the reminder that not everyone can take their shoes off. A wheelchair should be an obvious exception. If a host complains about a wheelchair, I say that person is not worth visiting at all! ——— Dear Readers: We had some differing opinions on my response to Don’t Call Me ‘Dear.’ Dear Annie: I read the letter from Don’t Call Me ‘Dear,’ and I

File Number: Planning Application #20-03, Development Agreement Amendment #01-02 Project Description: The applicant is requesting amendment of the Bretton Woods Development Agreement (Ordinance No 2534) pursuant to Section 107 of Ordinance 2534, to remove language regarding the Davis based local buyers preference program, Article 2, Section 201, Subsection 8 of the Development Agreement. Article 2, Section 201, Subsection 8 of Ordinance 2534 requires the developer to restrict 90% of the residential units to initial purchasers with a preexisting connection to the city of Davis and desires to sell or
agree with her that it is demeaning. The reason I can tell is that it did not happen in the past. People only started calling me “Honey” and “Sweetheart” once I got enough wrinkles. These “terms of endearment” are the ones we use with children, and that is why I find it insulting. I am 66 years old, but I am not yet in my second childhood. I have asked the nurses at my doctor’s office to quit referring to me this way — to no avail. Unfortunately, I fear there is nothing to do about this. It’s just another irritation of advancing age that must be endured. Thanks for asking our opinions on this matter. Dear Annie: I can understand how the terms some people use (like “dear,” “sweetie,” “hon” or “honey”) in addressing you can seem a little too familiar if they’re total strangers. But in the days we’re living in now, I just choose to be thankful that these people are being kind in their address, and assume that they have no other motive than just being friendly. Life’s too brief to be upset by the little things.
Unwanted clutter Dear Annie: My parents and my in-laws have a habit of cleaning out their houses by bringing their unwanted things to my house. When we first moved in together, my husband and I thought they were trying to help by giving us things so we wouldn’t need to buy them, but it’s been over a decade, and it continues. When asked if we want items from their homes, we always decline. More frequently, though, things are left on our porch or in our garage. Unless it is something we think they may want back (something we know is an heirloom or expensive), we throw everything away. The things we feel like we have to keep go into the attic. Obviously this is a minimal issue compared to most, but we are tired of being responsible for their unwanted items. Please encourage your readers, especially those downsizing, to manage their own belongings and not push

them onto family without asking, and to respect the response. — Minimalist Dear Minimalist: You and your husband need to have an open and honest conversation with both your and his parents. If you tell them you don’t want their items but then keep heirlooms when they are left with you, no wonder everyone is confused. While you are correct that family members should not unload their stuff on one another, it is also traditional for families to pass on heirlooms. Perhaps you and your husband should go over to your respective parents’ houses and decide what is an heirloom and what is trash. My guess is they are unclear. One clean sweep of everyone’s stuff will prevent this constant appearance of unwanted items. ——— Dear Annie: I can empathize totally with Sucker-Punched in Indiana, having had a similar experience years ago when my then husband told me he didn’t love me and never had, not even on the day we married. However, he did not want a divorce since we had two young children. I lived with that pain and bitterness for years, feeling trapped, hopeless and depressed. Eventually, though, friends talked me into seeking therapy, which, like Sucker-Punched, I resisted at first. However, when I finally relented, it was the best decision of my life. I came out on the other side stronger, more sure of who I am and what I want, and realizing I am worth far more than what my husband made me feel I was. Like you, I strongly advise Sucker-Punched to find a good therapist who will help her learn to view her situation with new eyes, make wise decisions and value herself again. I cannot state strongly enough how positively life-changing therapy was for me. — Stronger From Therapy Dear Stronger From Therapy: I’m sorry you coped for so long with a terrible, mean husband, though it’s wonderful therapy helped you turn your life around.
