I have often felt like I could use help from an outsider with a particular problem, but didn’t know where to turn. I know I could have written to Dear Abby or Ann Landers or someone like that, but I really like the idea of a local column. It feels more personal. Would you please tell me a little bit about yourself and your qualifi- cations for being ‘‘Aunt Patty”? I know I would feel more comfort- able about writing to you about my problems and I'm sure it would make others feel better. Thanks! : WONDERING DEAR WONDERING: My qualifications include a col- lege degree, writing and counseling experience, and a teaching back- ground. I also have experience as a wife, mother, and working woman. But, none of the above credentials means anything when it comes to giving advice if I didn’t have plain common sense! I am not an author- ity on any subject and I expect my readers to correct my blunders and give me advice when I need it. The purpose of this column is the same as the philosophy behind the column Ann Landers writes - ‘to provide correct information, separate fact from fiction, give hope, understand- ing, and encouragement to those who need it”. All letters will be treated confidentially and your name will not be printed. DEAR AUNT PATTY: My daughter is allergic to choco- late and I don’t like my other children to have a lot of sweets either. What do we tell the Easter Bunny? ANTI-CANDY DEAR ANTI-CANDY: Ask the Bunny for a basket filled with dried fruit treats, plastic eggs filled with raisins and fancy little crackers. Also wild shoelaces, a character toothbrush, an Easter book, barrettes, new crayons, or tickets to the upcoming circus. For a teen it could include make-up, cologne, a favorite magazine, and fast-food or movie gift certificates. DEAR AUNT PATTY: I am a senior at Lake-Lehman High School. My girlfriend is a junior at Dallas. With prom time coming up soon, we have a problem and hope you might help. Of course, being a senior and all, I want to go to my prom at Lake- Lehman. My girlfriend, understand- ably so, wants to go to her prom at Dallas. The problem is she refuses to wear the same dress to both proms and says she can’t afford to buy a second dress. I would buy her another dress if I could, but I have to save my money for college next year. My girlfriend says 1 should make the choice as to which prom we go to, but I don’t want to hurt her feelings by choos- ing to go to the Lake-Lehman prom. We’ve decided to let you help, Aunt Patty. Please give us an answer that will be fair to both of us. PERPLEXED PROM-GOERS DEAR PROM GOERS: j Go to your prom this year and her prom next year. DEAR AUNT PATTY: : My mother is a pain in the neck, what it is, she finds fault with it. It can be anything from child rearing to baking a cake. I've tried ignoring her remarks, arguing with her, and showing her proof that I was right. What do you suggest I do? Please give me a helpful idea. Thanks. DISTRAUGHT DAUGHTER DEAR DISTRAUGHT DAUGH- TER: Sometimes even mothers need some mothering. Try for at least three weeks to avoid argument and be agreeable. Give your mother some unexpected compliments and ask her for some advice. Thank her for it and show her some apprecia- tion and love. Treat her like you would like to be treated and see if your problems lessen. Let me know what happens. 30 Years of Lending Experience = SMITH DARREN MICHAEL SEAN LOEFFLER Highpoint Acres, Maplewood Drive, Redledge Drive ALIVE...
