DEAL PRICE: $5.99 for two -- Get Two Sets (4 files) $9.98
Crystal Glass nail files are the perfect solution for shaping
both natural and artificial nails. The files are very gentle
on the natural nail and with regular use can help prevent
splitting and peeling and they give a lovely smooth finish.
Extremely hygienic... unlike other nail files, the Crystal
Glass nail file is not porous and cannot absorb water and
create an environment for disease (bacterial or fungal). Plus
they can be disinfected, boiled or sterilized by any known means
or simply washed under hot running water.
Mostly you're going to love how they provide a smoother filing
process. NO MORE JAGGED EDGES...
Great for acrylic nails and in the place of a pumice stone. These
files feature two levels of abrasion.

FREE KIDNEY SCREENING HELPS PUT WOMAN BACK IN THE PINK
DEAR ABBY: In March of last year, I saw your column about
the upcoming World Kidney Day when the National Kidney
Foundation would offer free screenings around the country
through their Kidney Early Evaluation Program (KEEP). You
encouraged your readers to find the location of their local
KEEP screenings, so I did -- figuring I had nothing to lose.
Well, my lab tests from the KEEP screening showed that my
kidneys had not been properly filtering toxins from my body.
Armed with those test results I made an appointment with my
doctor. She had never checked my kidney function before.
Once she saw the results of my kidney function tests were
low, she suggested major diet and exercise changes and took
me off two medications she suspected were too much for my
kidneys to handle.
Today, I feel great. My blood pressure is normal, my weight
is 30 pounds lighter and my kidney function is continually
improving. What a blessing that I read your column that day,
Abby, and went to the KEEP screening before it was too late.
If I hadn't, I could be on dialysis, waiting for a kidney
transplant or, worse, not here at all.
-- CAROL ANN JOHNSON, INDEPENDENCE, MO.
DEAR CAROL ANN: I am pleased that an item you saw in my
column was so helpful. I hope your experience encourages
other readers to look for the KEEP screenings in their local
areas this year.
Readers, this year World Kidney Day is being held on Thurs-
day, March 11. On that day the National Kidney Foundation
will once again hold screenings all over the U.S. for those
at risk. This includes anyone who has high blood pressure,
diabetes or a family history of those conditions or kidney
disease.
Those of you who would like more information regarding
kidney disease and free screenings should log onto
www.kidney.org.

DEAR ABBY: I don't think I have a recessive personality, yet
I constantly find myself in conversations with people who
appear to have no interest in what I have to say. Regardless
of the subject, I am never able to finish what I want to say
before the other person interrupts with his/her own "more
important" story.
An example: I said, "My mother-in-law came to visit last
night ... " Before I could get the next word out, someone
started talking about an incident she suffered through with
her M-I-L. She continued on for more than five minutes.
Another time, during an hour-long lunch with a girlfriend,
she spent 45 minutes (I timed her) talking about herself.
And then there's my co-worker who spent seven minutes of a
conference we had for a project we shared discussing the
project, and the rest talking about herself.
Am I expecting too much to be heard, respected, empathized
with and supported by people I consider close friends and
associates? What can I do to remedy this?
-- LET ME FINI ...
DEAR LET ME: Your problem is that you are not assertive
enough. A way to remedy the situation would be to interrupt
the interrupter by saying immediately, "Excuse me -- I am
still talking," and finish your story. And as to a colleague
blathering on about herself during the discussion that was
supposed to be about your project -- you should have said,
"Oh, I'd love to chat. But right now I have too much work to
do. Bye!"
