What would you do on a first date that was turn-ing sour? •I’d run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns. -- Craig, age 9

When is it OK to kiss someone? •The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn’t want to mess with that. -- Curt, age 7 •The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It’s the right thing to do. -- Howard, age 8

“What happened to you?” asked the bystander of the man lying on the sidewalk outside of the beauty parlor. The man shook his head groggily and rubbed his bruised chin. “Well, the last thing I remember was my wife coming out of the beauty salon. I took one look at her and said, ‘Well, Honey, ... at least you tried.’”

“I’d like the number for Jennifer Smith in Richmond, Virginia,” the young man said to the 411 operator. “There are multiple listings for Jennifer Smith in Richmond, Virginia,” the operator said. “Do you have a street name?” The young man hesitated a moment, “Well, uh, most people call me Bubba.”

WEEK of JULY 4

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You clever Ewes and Rams love nothing more than to rise to a challenge. So, by all means, if you feel sure about your facts, step right up and defend your side of the issue.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’ve done some great work recently. Now it’s time to reward yourself with something wonderful, perhaps a day at a spa or a night out with some-one very special.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You love to talk, but don’t forget to make time to do a little more listening; otherwise, you could miss out on an important message someone might be trying to send to you.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your aspect indicates some uncertainty about one of your goals. Use this period of shifting attitudes to reassess what you really want and what you’re ready to do to get it.LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your social life is picking up, and you’ll soon be mingling with old friends and making new ones. But ‘twixt the fun times, stay on top of changing work-place conditions.VIRGO (August 23 September 22) A trusted friend offers understanding as you vent some long-pent-up feelings. Now, move on from there and start making the changes you’ve put off all this time.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might well feel uneasy as you face a difficult situation involving someone close to you. But you know you’re doing the right thing, so stick with your decision.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You’re a good friend to others. Now’s the time to allow them to be good friends to you. Rely on their trusted advice to help you get through an uncertain period.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Family and friends are always important, but especially so at this time. Despite your hectic workplace schedule, make a real effort to include them in your life.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) That project you’ve been working on is almost ready for presentation. But you still need some information from a colleague before you can consider it done.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Don’t let those negative attitudes that have sprung up around you drain your energies. Shrug them off, and move ahead with the con-fidence that you can get the job done.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Aspects favor some dedicated fun time for the hard-working Piscean. A nice, refreshing plunge into the social swim can recharge your physical and emotional batteries.BORN THIS WEEK: You love to travel and be with people. You probably would be happy as a social director on a cruise ship.

Answers1. The Dorsey brothers “Stage Show,” on Jan. 28, 1956. Elvis sang “Shake, Rattle and Roll.” He wasn’t on “The Ed Sullivan Show” until later in the year.2. Cynthia Lillian Powell. She’s Julian’s moth-er. “Hey Jude” was written for Julian. The song, originally called “Hey Jules,” was written by Paul McCartney.3.

“Yessir, mister, she’s my sister!” Here we present some details about some famous female siblings, past and present. • You’re probably not familiar with the names of Jayne and Joan Boyd, but more than likely, you’ve seen their faces. They were the original “Double your pleasure, double your fun” Wrigley’s gum Doublemint Twins. The girls began their Wrigley’s advertising stint in 1959 at age 21, a job they held until 1963. “People would stop and talk to us… grandmothers, small children, they all knew us,” said the twins. You can still occasionally spot the girls’ faces on some of Wrigley’s new ads, which highlight past twins. • Baby boomers might remember the names of Nan and Flossie from the girls’ 75-year history in children’s novels. These two sisters each had a twin brother — 12-year-old Nan was twins with Bert, and 6-year-old Flossie’s brother was Freddie. Together the four, known as the Bobbsey Twins, enjoyed many adventures in the fictional commu-nity of Lakeport throughout 72 volumes, making the stories the longest-running series of children’s fiction. • The tennis-playing Williams sisters have five Olympic gold medals between them — Serena with two and Venus, three. Serena leads her sister in ca-reer earnings; in fact, Serena has won more money than any woman athlete in history. The sisters were home-schooled and coached by their parents and both turned pro at age 14. • Thousands of U.S. troops were entertained dur-ing World War II by the Andrews Sisters, Laverne, Maxene and Patti. Their distinctive Dixieland swing style of music included such hits as “Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree” and “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.” These “Wartime Sweethearts” had

more than 1,800 recorded songs to their credit as well as appearances in 16 movies.• The Dionne family of Callander, Ontario, already had six children when they welcomed the world’s first living quintuplets in 1934. Five girls — Emilie, Cecile, Yvonne, Annette and Marie — weighed in at a total of 14 pounds (6.35 kg.). When the girls were just a year old, they were removed from their home by the government of Ontario when their father agreed to accept money for their appearance at the Chicago World’s Fair. They were featured in advertisements for every-thing from dolls to dishwashing liquid to war bonds, creating millions of dollars in revenue for the province of Ontario. The quints’ earnings were placed in a trust fund controlled by the govern-ment, which was misappropriated, leaving them in financial straits in their later years. During the 1990s, the three remaining quints were living together on $750 a month and approached the Ca-nadian government for a settlement. In 1998, they were awarded a $4 million tax-free remuneration by Canadian officials. Emilie, who became a nun, died of an epileptic seizure at age 20, while Marie perished in 1970 and Yvonne in 2001. • Amidst gently floating bubbles and between Geritol and Aqua Velva commercials, the four Lennon sisters, Dianne, Janet, Peggy and Kathy crooned syrupy ballads to the audience of “The Lawrence Welk Show.” With their matching chiffon dresses and stiff bouffant hairdos, the California-born sisters appeared with the Cham-pagne Music Makers from 1955 until 1967. The girls got their lucky break when Welk’s son began dating Dianne and informed his father of the girls’ potential.

Macular Degeneration Progress Can be SlowedDEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have the dry type of macular degeneration. I take PreserVision with lutein tablets twice a day. I hear lutein is very good for my eyes, and I would like to take more than the 10 mg a day that I get in my tablets. I don’t know how much is safe. My doctor said he didn’t know. Will macular degeneration leave me completely blind? How long will it be before I cannot see anymore? -- C.B.

ANSWER: The macula is a small, round area in the center of the retina, the layer at the back of the eye that transmits incoming images to the brain so we can see. The macula is essential for clear, central vision, the kind needed to read, to drive and to recognize faces. Off-to-the-side vi-sion remains. You won’t go completely blind.Furthermore, dry macular degeneration most often advances gradually. It’s the more common va-riety, accounting for 90 percent of cases. It can stay at its present level for years, even for life. Wet macular degeneration comes about from the growth of blood vessels beneath the retina. Those vessels are fragile and leak fluid. It tends to advance more rapidly.Currently no cure exists for dry macular degeneration. A combination of vitamin C, vitamin E, beta carotene (or vitamin A), zinc and copper appears to slow moderate macular degeneration’s progression to a more advanced stage. Your PreserVision is one such preparation.Lutein is a plant product that might aid in delaying the advance of dry macular degeneration. At this very moment, a large study is taking place to ascertain the place of lutein in the treatment of this common eye condition. The amount of lutein being tested in the study is 10 mg a day. Lutein appears to be a very safe substance, but I would stick with the 10 mg dose until the present study defines lutein’s place and its optimum dose. The booklet on macular degeneration explains this prevalent eye problem in great detail. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 701W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Please tell me about post-traumatic stress disorder. I think someone in my family suffers from it. -- A.F.ANSWER: Having faced an event that threatened life or caused serious injury is the basis for post-traumatic stress disorder. The event keeps resurfacing in the mind with a clarity that imparts terror and helplessness, and sometimes guilt. The remembrance can happen during the day or in dreams.An affected person stays in the alert mode at all times. He or she loses interest in life, neglects those around him or her, suffers from fragmented sleep, often erupts in outbursts of anger and is usually quite depressed. Soldiers, firemen, policemen and those who suffered a sexual or physi-cal attack are people who most often develop PTSD. With the combination of talk treatment and medicines, these people can usually regain their equilibrium and resume a normal life. ***Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

They hold just enough for a quick snack.¥ “If you pull all the way into your garage, tack some carpet scraps to the wall that you pull in toward. It will protect the wall’s paint, and it will protect your car’s bumper if you acciden-tally rub the wall.” -- U.F. in North Carolina¥ For dance recitals, make sure to get a re-cording of the music to be used. You also can videotape the practice performance and have the student watch it, pointing out the great parts and the parts that need work. -- A Reader, via email¥ To stop runs in hose or tights, paint the bot-tom of the run with clear nail polish. Let dry and repeat. Do this while wearing them, and gently unstick from the skin. It works better when the hose or tights are stretched as they will be worn, and you don’t risk attaching the run side to the other side of the tights.¥ “I somehow lost one of a pair of socks that had non-slip gripper dots on the bottoms of the feet. I gave the odd sock to my mom, and she uses it as a jar or bottle opener. The gripper dots help her get a hold of the lid to unscrew it.” -- R.J. in Ohio¥ To freshen a lunchbox, dampen a paper towel with plain vinegar and stick it inside the lunch-box.
