Yelling Mom Not Rational but she has to anger somehow take out and I'm her the you have lots of company.

i Dear Ann Landers: I work en a newspaper and have written beads and subheads for your column for many years, so Fve real every word you've written for a long time. Today I see another letter from someone who upset because someone SAID the wrong thing. Bereaved mourners are unhappy because of a thoughtless comment An adoptive dad is distraught because someone made a snide crack. A mother with a homely child is miserable because a friend made a hurtful remark. Even the considerate nothing to do with you-that she Is really angry with herself.

Make no attempt to reason with her when she's off on a screamer. She's not rational. And if it will make you feel better, dear Mrs. Ken Smith Feted At Showei Mrs. Ken Smith and son Shane, West Lafayette, were honored at a baby shower gi ven Mrs by Mrs.

Eu gene Mrs. Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Paul Scott, Ben Webster and Vickie Dudley Anderson, Amy kindest and most people are fre- ventty surprised when a thought tat seemed all right in the head, comes out of the mouth in a dodd'sh manner. It happens att the time.

So why should anyone allow himself to become totally fragmented by an insignificant, ill-phrased statement that wasnt intended to hurt? Most folks are decent. The malicious and mean devils are definitely in the minority. Wouldn't it be a happier world if we didn't attach so much importance to what people say! I hope you will print this, Ann, and I hope I said it right. -I Understand Dear Understand: You did and I thank you. Dear Ann Landers: My mother and grandmother both smoke like a couple of chimneys.

They always seem to be lighting up during a meal a cigaret with the breakfast coffee, a cigaret after the salad, a cigaret before the dessert It ruins my appetite and makes me sick to my stomach. Does a 13-year-old have the right to say anything? If so, what? Choking To Death In Greenwich Dear Choking: In some countries, smoking during a meal is considered an insult to the cook. In our country it is bad manners to smoke during a meal unless one asks, permission from the non-smokers. Since your chimneys I mean your mother and grandmother are not about to ask your permission, I suggest you tell them that their smoking spoils your appetite and if they would please cut out the cigarets between courses, you would be glad to leave the table when they light up with their dessert and coffee.
