AGING PARENTS' GO-IT-ALONE ATTITUDE CAN BE DANGEROUS
DEAR ABBY: My parents are both in their 80s, and I try to
stay in touch with them as often as possible. Unfortunately,
one issue I cannot get through to them is when to call 911
for help. Example: If Mom trips and falls, Dad needs to call
911 rather than struggle to help her up. One or both of them
could be injured due to lack of strength or ability.
Also, if a stranger rings their doorbell or calls on the
phone and asks them questions about checking accounts, etc.,
this person should be reported.
How do I impress upon my parents the need to contact the
authorities when something is amiss rather than attempt to
handle it themselves?
-- ART IN EASTON, PA.
DEAR ART: Trying to parent one's parents long distance can
be frustrating and emotionally draining. Part of the problem
may be that when people in their golden years begin to slow
down, they often don't realize that it's happening.
Please impress upon your father that when your mother falls
there may be a reason for it that goes beyond being "clumsy."
She may have suffered a small stroke or have an inner ear
imbalance and need to be seen by a doctor. Also, when older
people fall they can crack a bone, and being lifted by
someone other than a professional can cause further injury.
These days there are more "sharks" swimming around out there
than ever, poised to take advantage of the gullible and the
vulnerable. If you suspect that someone has been asking your
parents for information about their personal finances, the
police should be informed. Also, if you feel they need pro-
tection, then it's time to involve a social worker to help
them. Your local Area Agency on Aging or state department of
health can guide you.

DEAR ABBY: Many years ago I made a conscious and deliberate
decision to leave the dating scene. Whenever I tell a woman
I'm not interested or have made other plans, she becomes
upset and angry with me. I try to be tactful and diplomatic
with women, but it invariably results in acrimonious behavior
toward me. I am exasperated with the situation. What's your
advice?
-- NICE GUY IN NEW JERSEY
DEAR NICE GUY: Of course when a woman hears that you're "not
interested" she will be offended. A compliment it's not! And
a woman who becomes upset and angry if you say you have other
plans isn't someone you would want to be involved with any-
way. Next time try this: "I'm sorry, but I'm NOT AVAILABLE."
It's the truth -- you're not!
DEAR ABBY: This may seem like a silly question, but what is
the proper thing to do if fruit drops on the floor at the
grocery store?
-- WONDERING IN COLUMBUS, GA.
DEAR WONDERING: There is no such thing as a silly question.
I addressed your query to the manager of a major grocery
chain in the Los Angeles area. He said: "Because it is
assumed that people wash their fruit at home before eating
it, the fallen item should simply be placed on its stand.
(Of course, if it has split in two, cracked or been crushed,
you should bring it to the attention of an employee working
the produce department.)"
Now: Speaking as someone who has bought fruit, taken it
home and found it to be bruised when I cut into it, it's my
PERSONAL opinion that instead of replacing the fruit in the
display, a store employee should be informed so the item can
be sold at a discount the next day.
