Satuiday, October 5, 1991 Messages on Phone Machine @ROSSWORD Have Man Tearing His Hair ACROSS 1 Hot DEAR ABBY: I have a answering machine. Itis very handy, but sometimes it's a source of great frustration when someone dials a wrong number and leaves a mes- sage. For example, the following mes- sage was left on my machine: “Your daughter, Judy, was ina minor auto- mobile accident. Please pick her up at the suburban police station.” Well, I do not have a daughter named Judy, so I called the subur- ban police station and suggested that they call Judy's parents and dial carefully next time. Last week, an elderly woman left the; following message: “Doctor, I'm sorty I have to cancel my appoint- ment ...” Then she went on and on, describing all her symptoms and medications until my entire tape ran out I also got this message from a young man ina hurry: “Hi, Joe, dis is Pete. We're gonna have football practice at Baldwin Park. Call da udder guys and tell em!” Last night I received the follow- ing message: “Hi, Gloria! We're leaving right now. Please be ready for a change, OK?" Bang! (I hope Gloria was ready for a change.) Abby, inform your readers that before they leave a message on an answering machine, they should be sure they.dialed the right number. WRONG GUY IN CLEVELAND DEAR WRONG GUY: Thanks for reminding all the folks out there to dial very carefully. DEAR ABBY: Some time ago, you had an article in your column titled “Only in America.” It poked fun at Americans who buy everything they wear and use from some foreign country. I think Americans need to be reminded to-buy American Thanks. PATRIOTIC IN MAINE DEAR PATRIOTIC: Once my readers have seen the following, I'msure many of them will agree with you.

At what point do you sell the property, house and car of an elderly relative who is in a nursing home and will probably never get out? My father-in-law had a stroke a year ago and has been in a nursing home ever since. Meanwhile. his house sits vacant and his car si idle. None of his children live close enough to maintain the house and care for his car and they think both should be sold. My husband, acting as power of attorney, has been paying all the bills and says his father's small life savings is being depleted. When his father was asked if his property. house and car should be sold. the answer was an emphatic. “No, let them sit!” My husband does not want his father to give up all hope for recovery and feels that if the assets are sold, his father will give up. We need an outside opinion Please rush your answer.
