Tina was upset because her husband's son had come to Ilve with them. and his messy bedroom made her angry. She excused herself by saying she was a "perfectionist," waving it like a banner, as though it made her behavior OK. I, too, was a perfectionist. I made my four children's lives miserable with my constant nagjling and threatening. My crists carne one winter when, in the midst of a snowstorm, I made all of them stand on our windy back porch, strip naked from their wet, cold clothes, and wait until my floor had dried because I had just washed and polished it. It hit me like a ton of bricks! For years; I had made my entire family miserable with my constant cleaning. I had been known to wake up in tbe middle of the night and clean or go outside and do · yard work. I always said the clean house was for "them." The truth was, I didn't like myself. J. cleaned house to prove to · the world that I was all right. • What rea II y needed cleaning was my SPIRIT, not the • house. This may be too long to print, but I wanted to share this milestone in my life ··.the Dear Abby ADVICE stan of my recovery. - NO LONGER "MOMMY DEAREST" IN CATHEDRAL CITY, CALIF. DEAR NO LONGER: You were perceptive to realize that you had turned the "vinue" of cleanliness into obsession and compulsion. to the point that it had become abusive to your family. Read on: DEAR ABBY: I, too, am the stepparent of a sloppy child . It used to drive me to distmction, until! realized the only person I could change was myself, and my harping and complainin~ only made ME the pariah m the household. Now I close the door to his room and ignore it. When he's grown up and gone, I can change the carpet, paint the walls and "live happily ever after." - MARK IN GAR· LAND, TEXAS DEAR MARK: A wise parent (or stepparent) carefully chooses his (or her) battles, because you can't win 'em all. DEAR 'ABBY: My philosophy on neatness is that I'll n~ver look back on my life and think, "Thank goodness I did the dishes every day. I'm glad I spent so much time vacuuming." I will always wish for more time spent with my family and friends , enjoying the things I love. I would hate for that woman to find herself looking back on her life, regretting a miserable relationship with the boy and his father over dirty clothes and candy wrappers. She needs to reach a compromise . -NOT SO NEAT IN N. Y.C. DEAR NOT SO NEAT: Your housekeeping may not win any awards, but you have your priorities in order. . DEAR ABBY: "Tina in Tennessee" should count her blessings. She has a wonderful stepson who is being bounced around like a pingpong ball through no fault of his own. His father should rejoice in the opponunity to have a relationship with his son. This is also Tina's chance to have a relationship with the young man. Tell her not to ruin it because of a messy bedroom. Shut the door! -A MOTHER IN MINNEAPOLIS DEAR MOTHER: Good point. There is so little the boy can control - his bedroom is "his space," and it should not be turned into a battleground. He should be praised for his strong points and given a little leeway. To quote a reader from Littleton, Colo., "Teens are 'neat' people. and it has nothing to do with the state of their bedrooms."

KI'Oier Paper Assorted Vanetles BlgK 5oft llrlnll5 Family .Medicine Local briefs Prevention key·in dealing with poison ivy Name omitted Question: My daughter gets poison ivy very easily. I try to keep it out of the yard. but she. seems to ge t it anyway. Could she be catching poison ivy from our dog? If so. how can I prevent thi s? Answer: Only about 15 percent of adults the United States do NOT have an allergy to the Rhus plant group. This group includes poison ivy. found mainl y east of the Rockies'; poison oak. found primarily west of that mountain range; and poison sumac . found mostly in Florida and the Nort-heast. If you are allergic to one plant, you are allergic to them all. When these delicate and easily damaged plants receive eve n li ght trauma, an oil known as urushiol can leak out on to the plant surface. Contact with thi s oil causes the allergic reaction. Your dog's tail whacking one of these plants would certainly be enough io cause urushiol to ooze out. If your dog then carried the urushiol back to your house and your daughter touched his contaminated fur, ·she could, indeed, contract poi son ivy. In thi.s example, yo ur dog's . fur would be what 's called a "fomite." This is a technical term for any inanimate object that can carry a di sease causing substance or organism. Fomites can also include shoes, clothing. shoes, tools. even the ash in smoke from burning the · leaves. Regardless :of how the oil gets on your skin, within 15 ·minutes it can bind to skin proteins, and the allergic reaction begins. If you wash the oil off before this binding occurs, you may be able to prevent the reaction. However, the oil on fomites or dead plants can still be active for up to five years. Once .the allergic reaction has started, it can range anywhere from mild to severe. Itching is the first symptom. followed by a blister-like, vesicular rash and finally oozing, weeping sores. The rash is often in streaks that form lines in the affected area. It can be widespread or loc alized. depending on where the oil contacted your body.

Premier - Simpson COLUMNIST aller~ic to urushiol oil and withm four to eight hours develop a debilitating rash and facial swelling. This is a true medical emergency and should be referred to the nearest emergency room without delay. Treatment is aimed both at relief of the itching and at . calming down the body's overreaction to the urushiol itself. Steroids are used to calm down the immune system. These may be either topical ointments applied at the site of the rash or a more systemic approach using pills or shots. If the lesion s have become infected, th an an . antibiotic is also indicated. Contrary to popular belief the oozing fluid from the blisters will not spread the rash either to another part of your body or to another person. If you break your blisters, however, it does make them more prone to infection . The number one treatment for poison ivy is prevention. If you come in contact with the plant oil, wasll it off within IS minutes. Hot soap and water is preferred - but solvents such as acetone, gasoline or rubbing alcohol poured over the affected areas can dissolve the oil. If a solvent is used, it should be washed off immediately. All contaminated clothing shou ld be washed and non-washable items treated with solvents. Pets should be washed. There are products available for use prior to exposure that offer some protection to the skin. Wearing protective clothing is highly advisable. . "Family Medicine " is a weekly column.

Right after employees at American Airlines agreed to a collective $1.8 billion worth of concessions, the company revealed its senior managers are protected against getting grounded in bankruptcy. · Employees are furious, and ri ghtly so. But they should think twice about how they vent their anger. Torpedoing a necessary labor agreement will mean the airline will suffer a hard landing in bankruptcy court. ... The same airline that demanded pilots, flight attendants and ground workers accept job and pay cuts also provided a trust fund to protect pensions for 45 of its best-paid executives. American also offered its top six executives a bonus double their base salaries if they didn't bail out before 2005 .... · The company quickly corrected part of the blunder by canceling the bonuses. Senior managers should also reject the pension fund. If they don't, and if other financial perks are found, Congress should adopt the attitude that any airline affluent enough to provide pension trusts for senior managers doesn't need a helping hand from U.S ..taxpayers.

In 1945, as Russian troops approached his Berlin bunker, Adolf Hitler committed smciile along with his wife of one day, Eva Braun. In 1970, President Nixon announced the U.S. was sending troops into Cambodia, an action that sparked widespread protest. In 1973, President Nixon announced the resignations oftop aides H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman, along with Attorney General Richard G. Kleindienst and Whi.te House counsel John Dean. . In 1975, the South Vietnamese capital of Saigon fell , to Communist forces.

Four big bulk tanker trucks come up my rural dirt road every day to ,collect milk from the dairy farms. And where doe s all that fre sh milk go? One truck goes to a Massachusetts cheese factory, one goes to New Jersey for butter. one goes to Pennsylvania.and one goe s to Long Island. You might say · to yo urself, "Wouldn't it be cheaper to have one truck take all that milk to one place?" Oh, you poor, silly goose. You hopelessly old-fashioned twit. You will ·never make it in today's hi gh-tech world of agriculture. The whole idea of farming today is to grow the food as far away from where it is eaten as possible. That is why they sell Florida tomatoes in New Jersey, fre sh swordfish in Omaha, Israeli oranges in Florida, Chilean wine in California, California lettuce in South Carolina, New Zealand apples in New York. Ten miles from my home there's a big factory that makes soft ice cream. You might think they would get all their milk from the 200 State enacts nation's toughest anti-spam law dairy farms within a half hour 's drive. Of course not. They get their milk from some place that's se ven hours away by truck. Our milk is nearby, making it totally ·unsuitable. I used to think my farmer neighbors were laughing at me because I was a city person and dido 't know anything about where our food ·come s from. Now I think they're laughing at me because I'm a city person and I don't know anything about . where our food is going. Still, the thing with the apples bothered me. So I asked my grocery store manager if he could make the effort to buy local apples from now on. He looked at · me like I was a communist Possibly a Dixie Chicks fan or something. "What are you trying to ' do?" he said, "Put the small family trucker out of business?" (Jim Mullen is the awhor of "It Takes A Village Idiot: A Memoir of Life After the Cirv."

It is motivated not so much by the senator's professed desire to prevent a terrorist-caused .release of hazardous chemicals but by his fealty to environmental groups like Greenpeace that .hate the chemical industry. A decade and half ago, Greenpeace mounted a campai gn to phase out production and use of chlorine compounds. "Chlorine Free by '93," was the slogan. Since that didn 't work, the group has decided to play the terror card. It professes concern that terrorists will blow up one of the facilities that produce, use · or store more than threshold amo unts of chem icals. · . So Green peace is the most vocal supporter of the provision in Corzine's bill that would require faci lities to replace hazardous chemicals - like chlorine- with "less hazardous substances or benign substances." So that, in the event AI Qaeda attacks the water treatment plant in my neighborhood, I need not worry about breathing toxic chlorine gas. But it is hardly ra tional for t~e government to require these facilities to stop using certain "hazardous" chemicals because of the possible carnage in' the event of a terror attack. That makes no more sense than requiring·· airlines not to use jet fuel because of possible loss of life if a pl ane is hijacked and flown into a skyscraper. It 's not the chemicals that represent the threat. It "s not the jet. fuel. It's the terrorists. : Sen .

The left-handed sophomore from Washington Court House doesn't have the velocity of Randy Johnson, the movement of Pedro Martinez or the tenacity of Roger Clemens. All Lewis does is strike out batters in clusters- and win. He set Ohio State's school record with 20 strikeouts while allowing only two hits and one walk agamst Iowa. Then he came back with 16 K's in 7 113 innings against Indiana while giving up three runs, three hits and five walks. He has become one of the premier pitchers at the college level. "The slats are just incredible. You look at them and you just shake your head," Ohio State pitching coach Pat Bangston said. "He's at just under two strikeouts an inning and the number of hits he's given up are incredible. "He was obviously dominant against Iowa with 20 strikeouts.
