A mother of a gay child thanks Ann Landers for bringing the topic into the open and helping her confront guilt and blame. She says the struggle involved torture and self blame, but credits the advice with revealing that blame solves no problems.
A parent describes discovering their son’s homosexuality at 17 after a letter to Ann Landers. Counseling didn’t change him but brought peace, college life offered acceptance, and the family expresses gratitude for support. The writer asks print to help other parents facing similar burdens while noting a misquote about the term chiropodist versus podiatrist.
A reader from AshlandWis argues over chiropodist and podiatrist etymology. The letter cites Webster and Oxford dictionaries, defends chiropodist as the preferred oneword form, and ends with a note of reassurance and Murphy’s law.
Dear Heloise offers a home repair hint using patch plaster powder mixed with coffee for a matched fill to cover numerous holes in a bed headboard. The method smooths with cardboard and disguises holes effectively, suggesting food coloring as another possible match.
