ODOR FREE & FRESH REFRIGERATOR BALLS
Easier and Less Expensive than GreenBags...
Retail Price: $9.99
Steal Price: $5.99
SAVE EVEN MORE: Get 2 Packages for $9.98
Keep your produce fresher, longer. Quit tossing away the
produce you just bought and toss one of these reveloutionary
Refrigerator Balls into your refrigerators crisper.
WHY... As fruits and vegetables age they create gasses that
cause them to spoil prematurely. Supermarkets and grocers know
this so they use potassium minerals to absorb these gasses in
order to prolong the life of their produce and now you can too.
These Refrigerator Balls contains a packet of potassium minerals
that absorb these produce-rotting gasses, so you can keep your
fruits and vegetables fresher, longer right at home.
They're Easier and Less Expensive than GreenBags! Package
contains 3 Fridge Balls. To order or get more info, visit:

FEEDING PATE TO CATS PUTS PARTNER IN THE DOGHOUSE
ABBY: My domestic partner and I have been together 12 years.
I love him dearly. He is sweet, funny, witty, kind, and most
important, willing to live with me. I can't imagine life
without him.
The problem is, he has no common sense. He doesn't "get" that
dishes we cook and eat with should not be used for feeding
the cats. If the toilet runs over (we have old plumbing), my
best bath towels should not be used to clean up the mess
when there's a mop in the closet. If we're out of cat food,
he should go to the supermarket and buy some, not open the
can of goose liver pate we brought back from Paris. That
sort of thing.
The immediate cause of my annoyance is if you have two credit
cards, one with a 7 percent interest rate, the other with a
21 percent interest rate, you don't put a $2,000 purchase on
the card with the higher interest rate.
My partner is 42, but sometimes I feel like I'm the parent
of a 4-year-old. If I say anything, he accuses me of being a
"control freak." I don't consider myself one, but I just don't
want my favorite punch bowl used as a bucket. Any ideas before
I shoot the both of us?
-- READY TO SCREAM, GROVELAND, FLA.
READY TO SCREAM: Until they start cloning couples, there
will always be one more responsible person in a relationship.
Because your partnership has lasted as long as it has, I'm
sure he has his strengths, too, that are different from yours.
Because you already know the state of your plumbing, stash a
supply of rags or old, faded towels in your linen closet and
show them to him, so that when another emergency occurs, he
will be able to locate them quickly. Transfer your fine china
and crystal to a cabinet that's less convenient to reach --
perhaps even one with a lock -- so it won't be so available
when the livestock gets hungry.
And warn your partner in advance that certain items -- like
pate -- are only for special occasions. Also, consider
transferring your balance from the high-interest credit card,
or keeping it in a safety deposit box.
If all that fails, remind yourself what it was like back on
the dating circuit. If that doesn't make you count his
virtues, nothing will.

ABBY: I have a friend, "Bob," who has a strange sense of
humor. A lot of people don't find him funny, and this time
I'm afraid he's gone too far.
His most recent prank was to fake his own death. Bob even
went so far as to submit a fake obituary. The problem is we
have mutual friends in other states who are convinced he is
dead and are pretty shaken up about it.
I want to tell everyone the truth, but I know Bob will see
it as a betrayal. I don't want to hurt our relationship, but
I hate to see our friends in pain. What should I do?
-- DILEMMA IN DALLAS
DILEMMA: Your "friend" has a cruel and twisted sense of
humor, and if you are wise, you'll distance yourself from
him. Not only has he hurt people who care about him, but if
he has done this to avoid paying taxes or other financial
obligations, it is fraud.
Since you asked, you should inform anyone who inquires that
Bob is still very much among them -- and advise them to give
him a call when you know he'll be picking up.
P.S. If someone did that to me, I'd pretend he WAS dead.
