Blessing the Earth II

By Bob Allison rfallison@sbcglobal.net

The theme of this series is that beginning about 4,000 years ago, God made a contract or covenant with Abram, to the effect that if he and his descendants would follow God’s leading they would both be blessed and bless the earth. [Gen. 12:1 cf, and 15:6 cf]. Christians believe that the Hebrews [Jews] blessed the earth through Jesus. This series concerns how the Jews also blessed mankind by their laws [Torah, first five books of the Bible], their culture as a model for others, and their personal contributions. The first blessing through Christianity has been stressed almost to the exclusion of how the second blessing has contributed to Western civilization.

Fertile Crescent If God wanted to bring about His “kingdom on earth as it is in heaven” then he would select a

place that was most likely to influence the world, and in Abram’s day that would have been Mesopotamia south through the Levant to Egypt e.g., the Fertile Crescent. The cultures at the two ends of the Crescent were the most advanced civilizations of the time. Eventually, each would contain the greatest ancient libraries at Ashurbanipal [Ca 700 BC near Mosul, Iraq] and Alexandria, Egypt [300 BC].

Legend places Noah’s ark in the middle of the Crescent in far eastern Turkey. Abram’s family was from Ur at the extreme southeastern tip of the Crescent and Israel was in the middle of the cradle of civilization where it could exert the most influence.

IThe Israelites were forced to live in both Babylon and Egypt where they could absorb knowledge from both centers of civilization.

and sent into exile in Babylon. Separated from Jerusalem, they were forced to abandon temple-based worship and change to local synagogues wherever ten Jewish males lived. This dispersed Jews around the Mediterranean world. Whenever the first disciples visited a town, they began their evangelism in the local synagogue. Paul is known to have visited synagogues in Damascus, Salamis, Antioch, Iconium, Thessalonica, Berea, Athens, and Ephesus. Rome depended on Jewish businessmen for much of their sea commerce in ‘corn’ [wheat] between Alexandria and Rome. About 40% of Alexandria was Jews—70 of whom translated the Torah into Greek.

Synagogues At age twelve Jesus lingered three days in the temple where his parents found him “sitting among

the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.” [Lk.246-7] Jesus was not born with all knowledge but grew up as other children. How then was he so knowledgeable about Biblical matters by age twelve? The answer is the synagogue system much of which endures to today.

Jews came together to read and explain the Law of Moses [Torah]. It was the center of community life and the local court of justice—typically and transparently conducted “in the city gate.” Weekdays, it functioned as a grammar school where children learned to read.

Before every service the ruler chose a capable person to read the Scripture lesson, lead in prayer, and preach or comment on the Scripture as an interpreter translated his words in Aramaic. Jesus was asked to speak, and the earliest Christian services mim-

[Lk.4:16-20] Why Nations Fail Research has identified inclusive political institutions of adequate strength and centralization as required to bring about the inclusive economic institutions required for growth.

Broad categories of ‘institutions” must exist to bring about these pre-conditions of growth e.g., religion, political, economic, education, and family. [Two years after areas of Mosul, Iraq were liberated from

The Torah describes all five of the basic types of “institutions” necessary to create the inclusive political and economic conditions required to produce national growth:

laws protecting kinship and family life; religion; childhood education; economy [Ex.20; Lev.19]; and local government conducted openly, honestly, and democratically. Much of those institutions were present in Jesus’s lifetime.

After the seat of the Roman Empire moved east in the fourth century, the Roman Catholic Church was the only organization available to fill the vacuum created, and they did so for the next thousand

years by assuming many of the functions and forms of Rome in Europe from whence emerged Christian Civilization blessed by many Jewish characteristics.

CORRENA’S SAVVY SENIORS

Be aware of loved ones who are suffering some type of pain

By Correna Wilson Pickens

Happy Easter greetings to you on this special day of which all Christians celebrate. What joy it is to see the bright spring colors portrayed in both clothing and Easter eggs and celebrate a Risen Savior!

A very happy time for celebration, yet, in remembrance of the glorious presence of our Lord, after His suffering such pain; reminding us also of the joy that comes after hours of agonizing pain, a mother suffers, as she brings forth her baby.

Thinking of pain, reminds me of how pain has been such a part of my entire life and perhaps, of yours, also. Many times, over the years, the pain has grown so intense that I cry out to God, asking for His wonderful touch. I’m sure, many reading this, have done the same.

Definitely not comparing myself to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ as He hung on the cross, but He taught us, in that moment, that we can know that we serve a God that can work miracles in our life.

I am sure that many, many of you have severe pain, even this very moment that you are reading this, pain of one type or another, either in health, finances, heartbreak, or in family relationships. Have you ever thought of the different categories of pain?

There’s acute and chronic.

I want you to become aware of loved ones and friends that are suffering with some type of pain.

Show them empathy, love, plus lots of laughter and fun times, and know that the medical field cannot diagnose the reason for pain every time. You have to learn about your own body and become aware of its needs.

I have suffered with pain all of my life, diagnosed with wanting attention because I was the baby of the family. Then, later, with rheumatism, fibromyalgia, and in mid-life, as a hypochondriac. Then, as I began to get very mature, came arthritis, then rheumatoid arthritis.

funny movies that caused him to laugh and laugh. He watched those for a month, without anyone knowing where he was, just watching movies and laughing,

is there to hear our pleas or crying, just waiting to work a miracle in each life.

Revelations 21:4 – “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and

there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away.”

SEMINOLE

Correna Wilson Pickens Finally, I was diagnosed, but not very happy to know it was Lupus, but know why I suffer such severe pain that often, tears are shed through the night. Sure, there are plenty of medications that can ease pain, but I want my brain to stay alert, without strong medications interrupting my thought process! I prefer the dollar store headache mix. No drugs!

So, those of you suffering some type of pain, I extend my heartfelt thoughts and empathy to each of you. That are numerous categories of the status of your body’s health that can bring you pain. Pain cannot be measured, but is divided into two categories, acute pain and chronic pain.

But, to each of you, try to find something for a fun and enjoyable activity.

When we laugh, it releases what can be called endomorphism. That means that we have brought about a change in our life, reducing thoughts of pain, the underlying reason for much sadness and reason for pain medication.

Stop! Think for a moment or two of how many times you have laughed today; this evening; or even as you get ready for bed. Recall the happy times of when you went out to eat with family or friends. Watch funny movies or musical events; call a family or friend, even a neighbor that is lonely, too, and find something funny to laugh about.

Many years ago, I read a story in Guidepost magazine, of a famous person, told that he had just a few months to live. He gave up, and went to a hotel, where no one knew him.

He found a library nearby, and checked out some old

until he cried.

He healed himself with happy thoughts and lots of laughter. Have you laughed today? Are you rejoicing that our Lord, Jesus Christ,

Cy’s abject apology Cy’s error came earlier. If he treated East’s encouraging nine of diamonds as showing the queen, Cy could lead a low diamond next. East would win and shift to a heart, assuring four tricks for the defense.

On the bidding, South was more likely to have 10-5 in diamonds than Q-10-5, so maybe Cy should have gotten it right.

By FRANK STEWART Tribune Content Agency

When I watched today’s deal in a penny game at the club, it was a traumatic affair for poor Cy the Cynic. He picked up a nice hand as West, opened the bidding — and heard his opponents roll into game.

Against four spades, Cy led the king of diamonds. East encouraged with the nine, so Cy continued with the ace and a third diamond. South ruffed, drew trumps and led the jack of clubs.

Cy huddled. He knew declarer had started with seven spades and two diamonds, but he didn’t know whether the jack was a singleton.

Finally, Cy took his ace and led a fourth diamond.

South ruffed and produced a second club. He took dummy’s K-Q to discard his jack of hearts and claimed.

“My fault,” Cy muttered grimly.

“You’re supposed to be an expert,” East snapped. “Well, an expert never apologizes and never admits he was wrong.”

“Sorry,” Cy said meekly. “I really didn’t know that.”

I wasn’t sure what Cy was apologizing for. He couldn’t beat four spades by ducking the jack of clubs.

South would overtake with the queen, ruff dummy’s last diamond and lead a second club. When Cy won, he would have to lead another club to dummy or a heart from his king.

MONDAY, APRIL 17 ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You’ll receive hints all day long, and though you have a sense that something must be done, the game plan will be slow in developing.

TAURUS (April 20May 20) — Your reaction to what you knew was coming your way is likely to surprise you, as well as those spending time and energy supporting you.

GEMINI (May 21June 20) — Someone is likely to lay down the law for you, and as a result, you’ll be more willing than ever to do precisely what is asked of you.

CANCER (June 21July 22) — A few developments will have you altering your overall point of view. It may be time to reassess your standing and make new plans.

NATIONAL

Andy Blankenbuehler makes the post‘Hamilton’ leap NEW YORK (AP) — After a long day working on his new Broadway show, Andy Blankenbuehler recently came home, poured himself a glass of wine and tried to unwind the way only he can.

The director-choreographer logged onto Pinterest and cruised through dozens of folders, examining images of the way folds of clothing catch light. That’s how this Tony winner unwinds? For Blankenbuehler, it’s like therapy.

“All I was looking at was light hitting dancers,” he explained. “Many people think that I’m very tunnel-visioned because I’m quietly absorbing.”

Blankenbuehler is directing the new musical “Bandstand,” which this month competes on Broadway with two other musicals he choreographed — the revival of “Cats” and a little show called “Hamilton.” And next month, his reimagining of the film “Dirty Dancing” arrives on ABC. “I’m just a kid in a candy store for me to be able to have such amazing projects to work on,” he said. Even so, he recognizes the pressure coming off his work on Lin-Manuel Miranda’s bio of Alexander Hamilton. “A show like ‘Hamilton’ changes the stakes in a lot of ways as an artist and as a business person.”

“Bandstand “ tells the story of six World War II veterans who join together in Cleveland to compete in a radio contest with dreams of stardom.

It has earned praise for its frank handling of veterans dealing with PTSD and a culture in denial.

The swing musical adds to Blankenbuehler’s astonishing range, which includes cheerleading twirls for “Bring It On: The Musical,” big, bold numbers in “9 to 5,” Depression-era movement for “Annie,” hip-hop in “Hamilton” and feline friskiness in “Cats.”

It actually lands in a sweet spot for Blankenbuehler — he’s an avid fan of the 1940s, soaking up movies, books and images of World War II. “The ‘40s have always spoken to me,” he said.

“That generation faced totally different circumstances than us and they stepped up. They stepped up with such conviction and put so much on the line. I find that very, very interesting.”

Blankenbuehler, 47, started dancing when he was 3. He had an older sister who attended dance classes and — like a scene from “A Chorus Line” — he went, too, with his mother crocheting in the

hall. “My sister stopped dancing. I kept dancing,” he said.

As a high school freshman, he saw his school’s production of “Bye Bye Birdie” and regretted not being a part of it. The next year, he danced in the school’s “Godspell.”

That summer, at a theater camp in Cincinnati, he choreographed the entire “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.”

“There was no turning back after that,” he said.

Blankenbuehler moved to New York in 1990 and landed in the ensembles of “Guys and Dolls” and “Steel Pier.” He also toured with “Music of the Night” and “West Side Story.” Despite not having a background in salsa or hip-hop, he went on to choreograph Miranda’s first hit, “In the Heights,” which earned him his first Tony. His love of research led him to Los Angeles, where he took six classes a day to learn choreography.

Richard Oberacker, who wrote the music and co-wrote the story and lyrics for “Bandstand” and toured with Blankenbuehler, said his old friend is relentless as an artist, constantly probing.

“He has this unbelievable mind where he just wants to get inside every single moment. He comes at everything from 360 degrees. He never stops asking questions,” said Oberacker.

For “Dirty Dancing,” his first foray into film, Blankenbuehler replicated his approach to rethinking “Cats” — tighten, improve parts, but don’t mess with the cherished DNA. “The job assignment wasn’t to recreate the wheel. It was to do what was there but go deeper,” he said.

Blankenbuehler isn’t a choreographer who gets hung up on proper technique or perfect leaps. His movements are inspired by things as varied as architecture or the way people act in subways.

“I was always the person who was like, ‘Oh, look at the way that clown looks!’ or ‘Look at the way that person is bending over because their bag is so heavy.’ Those are the things that are interesting to me.”

One of the best things about “Hamilton” was Blankenbuehler’s use of an ensemble member to carry a bullet across the stage in slow motion, a feat he happily confesses he lifted from Quentin Tarantino films.

“For me, I’m like this mad scientists in the corner,” he said. “You have to live in a way that you’re awake.”

THE REDBUD CITY

Fire, escapes and depots start 1904 out with a bang

By Clyde Wooldridge

The year 1904 started off with a bang, just like 1903 finished. The city would continue to grow, but this caused a lot of positive and negative events. They all helped shaped the character of the city in the future.

INDIAN MISSION BURNS The main school building and dormitory of the Shawnee Indian Mission, two and one-half miles south of the city, was entirely consumed by fire on January 27, 1904. Shortly after 1 P.M., the roof was discovered to be on fire and in an unusually short time, the whole building was a mass of flames.

The children were in the school room and just assembled after the lunch hour. There were 100 pupils and 14 teachers in the building when the fire was discovered. It did not take a minute after the alarm was given to clear the school rooms. So well were the children controlled by their teachers that there was no excitement nor disorder of any kind. Most of the pupils carried their books out of the building with them.

Meanwhile, Agent F.A. Thackeray and several employees made haste to fight the fire. There was a water tank standing near the doomed building and a few sections of hose were quickly attached to the fire plug, but it was found that the pressure was not suf-

ficient to force a stream of water to the top of the building. The fire had attained such headway that had there been plenty of water pressure, it is doubtful whether the building could have been saved.

Another set of men, headed by Clerk Thomas “Wildcat” Alford, entered the burning building and succeeded in saving quite a large amount of furniture.

Practically all the furniture in the second story and the personal belongings of teachers and pupils were destroyed.

The fire was plainly seen by people in the city, and soon the road leading to the mission was crowded with vehicles of all kinds carry people out to the fire.

Some parents and relatives of the pupils were among the number hurrying to the scene; fear-laden lest their little ones had been burned.

The new community building was hastily fitted up for use in the emergency, so that by night everyone was provided for as well as could be expected.

The building was constructed about 30 years earlier. It was built by the Quaker denomination and used by them for about 10 years, then passed on to the United States government. Since then, it was used as an Indian Training School.

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE

Charles Edmondson, a railroad laborer, had a remarkable escape from death on January 28. He was in the Arcade Saloon, at the corner of Main and Union, when he became involved in a quarrel with Arthur Shaffer, better known as “Blacky,” over a game of “craps.”

Shaffer struck Edmondson on the head with a revolver at the same time discharging it. The gun cut a gash about an inch long over Edmondson’s left eye and slipped over to the center of his forehead and went off. Edmondson’s forehead was powder burned and the front portion of the brim of his slouch hat was blown entirely away. The sound of the gun caused considerable excitement for a few minutes.

According to Edmondson’s story, he was shooting craps in the club room upstairs when he and Shaffer became involved in a quarrel. He walked down stairs, followed by Shaffer.

Here the quarrel was renewed. Shaffer drew a gun and Edmondson started to back out of the saloon.

As he reached the door, Shaffer struck him with the gun, which was discharged at the same time.

Inquiry in the saloon by eye witnesses said that Edmondson and Shaffer were standing at the bar quarreling, when Edmondson, who was a large man, put

his hand in his hip pocket and started for Shaffer.

Shaffer then drew the gun and struck him. Shaffer was not arrested and Edmondson had apparently been drinking.

Edmondson was taken to Dr. A.N. Willey’s office and his wound dressed. It was at first thought that the bullet had entered his forehead and came out over the eye, but an examination by the physician disproved that.

For unadulterated coolness, Edmondson, the paper said, “deserved the biscuit.” As he stood outside the saloon after being slugged, a policeman approached.

“Here, officer, I’ve been shot,” he said with a short laugh as he wiped the blood from his face. “There is a fellow in there who shot me.”

He did not show any trace of anxiety about his wound, and stood in the door of the saloon until the officer arrived. He then demanded that Shaffer be arrested. He mentioned, in jest, that if he would have been about four inches taller, it would be a much more serious story.

NEW DEPOT IS ALL BUT COMPLETED The ballast work in the Shawnee Santa Fe yards was progressing rapidly, by March of 1904. The main line was being raised about three inches to admit the crushed rock under the

F.A. Hill and William F. Sims were the Chiefs of Police in 1903 and 1904 in Shawnee. Interestingly, they both died on the same day in 1915. track, which made for a solid foundation.

There was quite a gang at work surfacing the grounds around the new passenger depot, preparatory to paving. That part of the work was expected to be completed quickly. The material used was vitrified brick, made in Coffeyville, KS. The new depot was completed, all but the wood work, and that was being pushed through rapidly. It was expected to be ready to turn over to the company within 30 days.

Within a week, the stone work on the new Santa Fe depot was finished. It was promoted as one of the best in Oklahoma. The workmanship was of the finest and when the final touches were added to it, they claimed the cost was

$65,000.

The woodwork in the general waiting room and the ticket office was in keeping with that of the stonework. It was not elaborate, but plain and modest and showed much attention to detail. The roof was nearing completion and the building was soon ready for the electricians.

The baggage and express rooms were left temporarily unfinished, as the company was anxious to move into their new quarters.

The MK&T (Katy) tracks were now completed to Oklahoma City and now Shawnee had another rail service to its city.

(Clyde Wooldridge is a local historian. He is currently researching and writing the history of Shawnee. Look for its publication in late 2018.)

What do vinegar, cornstarch and baking soda have in common? Besides sharing space in the kitchen pantry, these and other household items can be used as the basis for do-ityourself cleaning supplies.

“Homemade cleaners are often made from ingredients you may already have on hand or found at your local store,” according to Gina Peek, Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension housing and consumer specialist. “They may be just as effective as any product you can purchase and often are more environmentally friendly.”

Recipes for homemade cleaners, cleansers and sanitizers are frequently simple and include only a few ingredients.

For instance, an easy recipe for an all-purpose cleanser calls for mixing 2 tablespoons of borax, ¼ cup of vinegar and 2 cups of hot water in a spray bottle to create an agent that can be applied like any other commercial all-purpose cleaner.

Or, combine cornstarch and water to make an effective mirror and window cleaner. Just mix them together to make a paste, use a soft cloth to apply the paste to the mirror or window, rub gently then wipe clean.

Also, combining 1 cup of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of tea tree oil creates a garbage can deodorizer. Work out all the lumps with a fork before sprinkling the mixture in the bottom of the container after the liner is removed. Periodically rinse the garbage can with vinegar and allow it to dry in the sun.

Only use tested green cleaning recipes. For example, some universities’ Cooperative Extension Services have produced Fact Sheets that provide tested recipes.

“Mixing your own cleaning supplies will more than likely require some prep time on your part,” Peek said. “On the flip side, homemade cleansers usually cost less to make compared to commercial or over-the-counter cleaners and they can help improve the indoor air quality.”

Routine safety measures should always be followed while making and using any type of cleaning product, homemade or otherwise.

“Read the labels of products to see if protective or respiratory gear is recommended and carefully mix all ingredients, especially chemicals,” Peek said.

“Some chemicals such as chlorine bleach and ammonia generate a toxic gas when they are combined.”

Only make enough cleaner for what is needed at the time or no more than a month’s supply.

Homeowners should be in a well-ventilated area when combining ingredients.

“Cleaning mixtures

should be placed in unused new containers and labeled with the name of the product, the ingredients and the date it was created,” Peek said. “All cleaners, including green cleaners, should be securely stored out of the reach of children.”

REVIEW

Emily Dickinson tale ‘A Quiet Passion’ burns bright There is something deeply funny and also beautiful about the idea that it would take a British man in his 70s to make the definitive film about one of America’s greatest female poets. But that’s what Terence Davies has done for Emily Dickinson in “A Quiet Passion ,” a fiercely intelligent, handsome and affecting rendering of Dickinson’s extraordinary, ordinary life from her teenage years to her death in 1886.

It’s the kind of breath of fresh air experience that sneaks up on you and proves to be a welcome respite from the growing noise of early summer movies. Davies’ script is filled to the brim with witty observations and barbs that you’ll want to scribble down, remember and recite. How many movies can you say that about lately?

The film opens on a group of teenage girls, all primly dressed and hair parted down the middle as a stern headmistress asks for those who wish to be “Christian and saved” to move to her right, and those who remain and “still wish to be saved” to move to the left. One doesn’t move. A redheaded Emily (Emma Bell) stands firmly in the middle of the room and vigorously debates her elder.

“I wish I could feel as

others do, but it’s not possible,” Emily says.

She’s the perpetual outsider, who doesn’t fit in the world at large, only at home with her mother, father, brother and sister.

She leaves school, saying with a coy smile that she’s ill from an “acute case of evangelism,” and retreats to Amherst for the majority of her days.

The world is bright and full of possibility for young Emily. She asks her bemused father (Keith Carradine) for permission to stay awake and write her poetry in the quiet of the night.

She spars with her conservative aunt with glee.

She relishes in her otherness, taking pleasure in making those around her uncomfortable with her wry remarks and sharp tongue. But she doesn’t need others — she has her family.

And then age hits. Time passes, conveyed by an unsettling sequence showing the morphing of the Dickinson family’s faces into their older selves, and the sadness and eventually bitterness starts to creep in.

Cynthia Nixon now inhabits Emily, Jennifer Ehle is her sister Vinnie and Duncan Duff is her brother Austin.

There is still vigor and energy in all, but life has tempered that a bit. Emily

finds a lively companion in Vryling Buffam (Catherine Bailey), who is even more modern than Emily. But Vryling manages to delight in the silly constrictions of their society where Emily is deeply conflicted and tormented by pressures of piety, decorum and what she feels is right.

And the world only seems to disappoint Emily as time goes on. Some of her poems are published, but not enough.

She falls madly in love with a married pastor, but he does not return her affections. Her married brother falls for another woman. Her health begins to fail. And then there’s death, which looms everywhere.

“A Quiet Passion” is a film of easy beauty — the palette favors soft blues, yellows, whites and greens.

But while the visuals and steady shots are often relaxing, at the heart is a searing and soulful performance of an anguished artist born into the wrong time. Nixon gives a new life and a womanly dimension to someone who, beyond her haunting words, we only really know visually as a perpetual teenager. Her poetry is a backdrop, used like a well-placed music cue at key points in the story.

Davies, it turns out, was

the perfect filmmaker to tell her story — poetically, humanely and unflinchingly.

“A Quiet Passion,” a Music Box Films release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association

of America for “thematic elements, disturbing images and brief suggestive material.” Running time: 126 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four. ___ MPAA Definition of

PG-13: Parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. ___ Follow AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr on Twitter: www.twitter.com/ldbahr

POETRY PLACE

HAPPY EASTER Easter comes but once a year Celebrating those familiar long bunny ears That Cadbury cluck sounded by all Seeking to be the one with the best call Don’t forget the real reason, the real thing Being celebrated throughout the land For Christ has risen, bringing light to man So in your heart while taking on The seeking of eggs while dressed adorn Chocolate’s crunching between your cheeks Feasts being thrown for all to eat The reason we’re all gathered here Cavorting for the words we hear Lord’s resurrection, his ascension is here ———

by dave macdonald

10:10

It’s the time that seems to come the most That’s when I get these quirky little bursts Of what, It’s really not mine to say Take the time that comes your way With it do all you ought to do Those bursts of creative jig-a-marooh Or whatever it is that makes you groove Do what you hoped and what you feared How else could you have gotten here Take a risk, hold on tight Tonight might just as well be the night The one that changes everything

DEAR ABBY

Give ever yone chance to taste teachers’ potluck specialties DEAR ABBY: I have been a teacher for many years, and several times a year I encounter a dilemma I hope you can finally solve for me. When staff members get together for a potluck meal, is it bad manners to eat whatever dish you brought? When we have these meals, I always feel like I should eat my co-workers’ contributions and leave mine for others to enjoy.

My fiancee — who loves to cook — enjoys preparing things for me to contribute.

She thinks I’m silly for not partaking of whatever she makes for me to bring, especially if it’s my favorite dessert. We read your column every day, so we decided to ask you what’s the right way to handle this common social dilemma.

— TO PIE OR NOT TO PIE DEAR TO PIE OR NOT TO PIE: The considerate thing would be to take a small slice of the dessert so that the other attendees can enjoy it, too, then wait until you’re sure that everyone who wants a sample has finished before going back to polish it off or lick the tin.

——— DEAR ABBY: I am a young stay-at-home mom who loves to get out and meet people. I have a tendency to make friends with direct sales representatives. But once I have hosted a party or bought some of their merchandise to support them, I become a customer and the friendship ceases to exist. Is there a polite way to tell them I would rather not buy the product or host a party without losing their friendship? — FRIENDLY IN MONTANA DEAR FRIENDLY: You have been confusing friendship with business.

People who cozy up to others to get them to buy a product or host a party are salespeople, not friends.

And no, there isn’t a “polite” way to tell someone like the folks you have described they haven’t made the sale and maintain a “friendship” that never was one in the first place.

You might have better luck finding friends if you reached out to other young mothers for companionship.

——— DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been hap-

The one that brings forth fortune, fame Who knows, who hopes, who gives a care It’s not for them I write and share 10:10’s come and gone . . . again It’s eleven now, time for bed ———

COLUMNIST

pily married for more than 15 years. His former wife has never gotten over him.

She has sent him many emails and text messages.

He never responds. Her most recent ploy was to sign up with an assortment of vendors to receive mail at our home. We also get phone calls from solicitors asking for her.

Although we live in the same city, this has never been her home. It goes without saying that she needs to get over it and move on. I’m tempted to put “Forward to (her address)” on the mail, but I don’t want to egg her on.

To me, it’s harassment, and possibly stalking. What do you think? — HAD IT WITH HER DEAR HAD IT: Your husband’s former wife appears to have emotional problems, and I agree that what she’s doing is a form of harassment. You are certainly within your rights to redirect any mail that’s addressed to her to her home. Contact the post office to see what can be done. And if solicitors call, either give them her correct phone number or consider having your number changed to one that’s unlisted.

——— TO MY READERS: I’m wishing a very happy Easter to all! — Love, ABBY ——— Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Once in awhile as I grow older, and think of long ago; A clear bright picture of memories, on the screen of my heart will show.

I can see my old Grandpa hoeing, in the garden where grew the crop; His bony face and bluish eyes, and suspenders that wouldn’t drop.

I can hear my Dad singing loud, the western songs of old; The thick mustache and eyebrows, a sight and sound to behold!

There again is my Mother sitting, brushing her blondish hair; A first class lady of another era, making cotton the queenly wear.

Our old dog who sat and listened, to the problems we all displayed; I supposed if Tippy billed us, it would be more than we could pay!

There we are young again playing,
