Annie’s Mailbox By Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Disappointed Neighbor Dear Annie: We were happy to see a vacant house on our block sell and were pleased to meet the new neighbors. We were willing to overlook the reek of tobacco and the cigarette butts in our driveway. The cat droppings in our flower and vegetable beds were harder to take. The real problem is that their teenagers race up and down the street at all hours and then park in front of our house smoking and playing with their phones while revving their very loud engines, setting our teeth on edge. These folks have a two-car garage, a concrete parking pad and a long driveway. Why are they parking on the street, let alone in front of the neighbors? We wanted to like these people, but now we just wish they would move out. Any suggestions? Talking to them didn’t help. -- Disappointed Neighbor Dear Neighbor: Are there ordinances in your town prohibiting noise after a certain hour or leaving garbage on your property? If so, call the police when necessary. Do you have a neighborhood association that mediates disputes? Sometimes these things can be worked out with a third-party mediator. In the meantime, put up fences, block your driveway with plastic cones, have fans to block the noise and do whatever you need to in order to protect yourself from these barbarians until one of you moves or the kids leave. Dear Annie: About a year ago, my very bright 16-year-old granddaughter was diagnosed with schizencephaly, a very rare disease, and she has had seizures. She was put on medications and then was free of seizures for eight months. But recently, she had another seizure, and her medication is being reconsidered. How can I find out how to be helpful and supportive? She lives two hours away, and I no longer drive. Is there an organization for this? -- Deeply Concerned Old Grandma Dear Grandma: Schizencephaly is a birth defect that is extremely rare and can cause delays in speech and language skills, some paralysis and seizures. Doctors believe the causes include exposure to toxins or medications during pregnancy. We found one support group at schizkidzbuddies.com, and you also can get information through wearerare.org/support for those with rare diseases. Bless you for wanting to help your grandchild in any way you can. Dear Annie: I have a piece of advice for “Red Hat Mama,” who is still waiting for a guy to ask her out. There are a lot of men who are uncomfortable asking out women we see only at church. All of my lady friends are women who asked me first. I might appear to have no problem with a friendly conversation, but it’s not the same as asking someone for a date. I’m debating wearing a button that says, “Please Ask Me.” Then when someone asks me what the button means, I can tell them that I’m more than happy for new friends to ask me to join them for activities. I’m not that interested in becoming intimate or getting married, but I find it tremendously difficult to embarrass myself by asking a woman to join me and possibly getting a negative response. I’m not one of those men who can tell at a glance whether someone is interested in me. I have mild Asperger’s, and I don’t read people well. So, Red Hot Mama and all of your cousins, please feel free to ask me. We can have a soda, share a pizza, play cards or get together with other friends. But you need to do the asking. -“Please Ask Me” John Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE FLEX FUEL Dear Heloise: I see cars with an emblem on the back saying “flex fuel.” What is that? -- Dina W. in Kansas The emblem means that the car can run on a mixture of fuels. The most common E85 fuel is 51 percent-83 percent ethanol gas mixed with regular gas. Your car must be designated as a flexible-fuel vehicle (FFV) to use the E85 fuel. -- Heloise MOCHA COFFEE Dear Heloise: I love your column in the Palm Beach (Fla.) Post. I have misplaced your delicious recipe for Heloise Mocha Coffee. All I remember is that an ingredient is dry milk. -- Sally D. in Florida You are on the right track for this yummy and easy-to-make drink! Gather together the following ingredients: 1/2 cup instant-coffee granules (regular or decaf) 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or equivalent measure of artificial sweetener) 1 cup powdered milk or powdered creamer (I use nonfat creamer) 2 tablespoons cocoa powder Mix all ingredients together and put the heavenly blend into a sealed container for storage. For one cup, place 2 rounded teaspoons (less if you used sweetener) into a 6- to 8-ounce cup. Add boiling water and stir. For more tasty coffee recipes, send for Heloise’s Flavored Coffees and Teas pamphlet by enclosing $3 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope and sending to: Heloise/Coffee, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Some nonfat creamers have sugar, so check and adjust the amount of sweetener accordingly. -- Heloise
