I think we'd better stop seeing each other before we (jet into trouble. I haven't been around much and I don't think I'm ready for anything heavy." I was grossed out. There was no reason for Iton to be worried about "anything heavy." He held my hand in a movie once and that's as far as it wen I. I cried for two hours last night and I'm crying again as I write this letter. (Forgive the smeary looks of it.) I just can't believe Iton wanted to end our friendship for the reason he gave.

Please help me figure this dude out. Weepy Wanda Dear Wanda: If Iton told you he didn't want to sec you again because you have purple toenails and two heads would you feel better?

The Siegel valve is always placed in the main trap as shown; by pulling it in the "up" position, sewage is permitted to drain away from the borne in the usual manner. By pushing it down and expanding the rubber ring, the trap is sealed, thereby preventing sewage from backing up! Use may require local building code approval. To install, the plug is removed on the street side of the main trap and the Jiffy valve screwed in place.

A gasket seals the plunger rod and permits moving the expandable rubber ring assembly up or down. When in the down position, a few turns of the handle expands the rubber ring against the wall of the trap. In some Instances the threads of the trap are damaged when the plug it removed, in which case screwing in the regular cap may be impossible. Another modd of the Jiffy valve has an expandable rubber plug that takes the place of the regular threaded plug.

This ritual has been established and I seem to be stuck with it. I wonder how many married children realize what dinners mean in terms of work. If married children enjoy Sunday dinners with their parents, why don't they at least take turns? I wouldn't mind having mine every third week or better yet, every fourth week. Then Dad and I could go out by ourselves once a month. Please print my letter, Ann.

Who would I contact to complain about air conditioners in apartments that make so much noise there is no way I can sleep and the noise is unbelievable.

My landlord won't do anything about it. Is there anyone I can call? There is a general noise bylaw, but the Landlord and Tenant Advisory Bureau advises there Is very little a tenant can do to stop the use of air conditioners in a building In the summer months. The landlord may be willing to consider a transfer jo a part of the building where the noise of the air conditioners is less notice-able. There is nothing a landlord can do except to prohibit the use of the air conditioners, which would prevent the enjoyment of the other tenants.
