Dear Reader,
The daily column brings a little slice of life from readers.
From my Chinny-chin-chin Email Bag:
"Suzanne, you must make a close friend pact. I have done this with a very close girlfriend of mine. I believe my family would allow a full beard to grow under my chin and take pictures and make jokes! But my girlfriend and I have sworn on our long friendship that we will show up and take care of the chinny-chin-chin issue. Oh I feel so serious about this issue that I now have a pair of tweezers in my nightstand, in my purse, in the little decorative box near my spot in the family room and yes in the console in my car! (We were once on a long distance car trip when the enemy began to invade and wave boldly.)
My mother did this for my grandmother and I have vowed to do it for her...but I have sons! They have no understanding of the war! Maybe one day I'll have a daughter in law and she will become the tweezers bearer. In the meantime, my girlfriend is my most trusted comrade. Thank you for always making me smile and sometimes laugh."--Toni Worlitz
"Dear Suzanne, thank you for yesterday's column regarding living wills. The past two weeks I have been visiting my dearest friend at the hospital where her husband lies motionless and in varying degrees of consciousness. She is struggling with the hardest decision we face when our spouse or loved one is so ill. They do not have living wills. But even in her sadness she reminded me as she always does that I should not let her facial hairs grow long when she reaches this stage in life. I guess this is one of those universal traits in women. Next visit I will share your story with her. Thanks for sharing it with us."--Barbara K.
"Suzanne, that was an interesting tidbit about hair on the chin. And the sidebar on your son's determination to hang on with a cigarette lighter and riding around in a car was great. To plug or not to plug, such a question, ha!"--Fred L. Black
