Dear Annie
by Annie Lane
Astrograph
by Eugenia Last
Hey, Man, Slow Down
Dear Annie: I hope you will
publish this, as the holiday
season is upon us and people
will be rushing to the mall
and the grocery to shop for
Christmas gifts and supplies
for festivities.
Please take some extra time
and slow down - and not just
on the road. The store parking
lot is not the place for Indy
500 time trials. There is no
reason for people to be zipping
through parking lots at 20,
sometimes even 30, miles per
hour. Also, please remember
that some people do not drive
pickup trucks or SUVs. When
you see me slowly backing
my Toyota Corolla out from
between vehicles, remember
that until half of my car is past
those vehicles, I can’t see you.
So please stop and let me pull
out (and perhaps get yourself a
good space). Just keep in mind
that if you still feel the need to
speed and hit my car, you will
be spending an extra hour or
so in the parking lot dealing
with police and an accident
report. You’ve got better things
to do, and so do I. - Take It
Easy
Dear Take It Easy: Your
car is not the only thing that
these speed demons could hit.
Pedestrians are especially
at risk this time of year.
The National Safety Council
reports that “tens of thousands
of crashes occur in parking
lots and garage structures
annually, resulting in hundreds
of deaths and thousands of
injuries,” and “around the
holidays, parking lots become
even more dangerous.”
A scraped-up car is
inconvenient, but a lost life is
irreversible. So let’s all please
slow down this holiday season.
Nothing is so urgent that it’s
worth sacrificing others’ safety
for.
Dear Annie: I was a nurse
Personal change will do you
good. Consider your choices and
what actually works best for you.
If you trust someone else to do
things for you, you will fall short.
Take the lead, stand tall and
surround yourself with people
who bring out the best, not the
worst, in you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) --You'll have a change of
heart when it comes to personal
matters. Look at the past, learn
from your mistakes and do what's
required to turn a negative into a
positive.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19)
- Get everyone at home involved
in the preparations and changes
you want to make. Purging and
donating things you no longer
need is favored.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Say what's on your mind and
clear the air. You cannot move
forward unless you take care of
unfinished business. Changes at
home will give you something to
look forward to.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Choose your battles wisely.
Walk away from impossible
situations. You will feel better
and accomplish more if you
concentrate on your personal
finances, contracts or on handling
someone else's affairs.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- Push for what you want. Don't
stop until you are satisfied with
your effort and the results you
get. A gift, bonus or unexpected
reward is heading your way.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- Sign up for something you
want to learn. Talk to an expert
about the possibility of picking
his or her brain or apprenticing.
Opportunity is within reach.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
Emotions will fester if someone
is not being up-front with you.
Check the facts before you agree
to something that could end
up being more trouble than it's
worth.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- If you share your unique ideas,
you'll be surprised at the interest
someone shows. A makeover will
give you the pick-me-up you need
to help build your confidence and
attract attention.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Have
fun with children or volunteer to
help out in your community. What
you contribute will raise your
profile and make you and your
loved ones proud.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Don't give in to someone
pestering you for something
you can't afford or don't want to
do. Make moderate choices and
stick to them, regardless of what
others do.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -A
change will do you good and help
you adjust to an offer that you
find tempting. Don't let anyone
make you feel bad or guilty for
the choices you make.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Love is on the rise, and plans to
romance someone special should
be put into play. Sharing a quality
moment will help cement an
important relationship.

DIFFICULTY RATING:

© 2018 UFS, Dist. by Andrews McMeel Syndication for UFS
for 43 years in many capacities.
I saw love, happiness, despair
and sorrow. I found that I loved
all my patients, whether young
or old, happy or angry, hopeful
or just giving up.
I read the letter from
“Grieving Mom,” who was
upset that the recipient of her
son’s heart wrote to thank her
for making it possible for her
(the recipient) to see her son
get married. “Grieving Mom”
felt that the recipient forgot
the fact that her son died so
she could live.
Often when we had patients
who could not be saved, we
asked the family members
whether they wanted to donate
their loved ones’ organs, and
we passed no judgment when
they refused. Members of one
family I spoke to willingly
offered to donate their son’s
organs. “If we refuse, our son
will be buried and his useful
organs will be buried, as well,”
they said. “If we donate them,
our son will still die, but he will
live on in others, whether it’s
his heart, kidney, eyes or any
other useful organs.” These
family members wished they
could meet the recipients of
their son’s organs, because in
them, a part of their son would
live on.
The woman who wrote
a note to “Grieving Mom”
sincerely wanted to thank that
mother for saving her life. She
may have thought it would
give her joy. Her son’s heart
was still beating; part of him
was alive, and that part gave
someone else a chance to live.
What a beautiful gift he gave
in death. People who donate
their organs do so because it is
an act of love. - Patricia in The
Villages, Fla.
Dear Patricia: Thank you
for your beautiful letter and for
your years of helping others as
a nurse.
