Twin Beam Laser Light
BOTH and LED & Laser Pointer...

List Price: $9.99
DEAL PRICE: $2.99

This little light does so much that it is impossible not to
love it! First it's a powerful LED light that will last for
up to 100,000 hours.

This LED is on a gooseneck attach-ment that allows you to
move it in ANY directions. It's great as a book light or even
auto repairs.

Need to do a presentation? No worries.. this little item (base
is just 2 1/2", Fully extended it is 6 1/2") has a red laser
pointer that can reach up to 500 feet!

It has a clip that makes it easy to clip to your shirt pocket
a book or even a compartment in a purse.

But what is REALLY, REALLY cool about this item is the bottom
of the base is magnetized. So you can stick it on a magnetic
surface and position the light any way you need it.... giving
you hands-free operation!

Grab one or two, but there is a limit of six (6) per order.

FRIEND GIVES TARDY CO-ED FAILING GRADE FOR PUNCTUALITY

DEAR ABBY: "Hayley" is one of the few good friends I have at
college. We take a class together. It's in a building across
campus, so I drive. I always contact Hayley to see if she
wants me to take her. (She typically does.) Because the class
requires physical activity, we dress in appropriate clothing.

When I pick Hayley up, I am already dressed and ready to go.
The problem is, she isn't. She is either eating or on her
computer when I arrive. Once I come in, she begins to get
ready. This has made us late for class several times. It has
reached the point that I have to arrive earlier and earlier
to get her to be on time.

I understand that I am more organized than she is, but it
grates on my nerves. I am the one giving her a ride, and
she causes us both to be late. I think she should be ready
to leave when I get there. I know she has a busy schedule,
but this is driving me crazy. I care about Hayley dearly,
and I don't want to hurt her feelings. Should I say some-
thing to her?
-- CAMPUS CLOCK-WATCHER

DEAR CLOCK-WATCHER: Yes, absolutely, because Hayley isn't
a mind reader and if you haven't spoken up, she may be
under the impression that you don't mind. Tell your friend
you are no longer willing to be late to class, you expect
her to be ready to leave at the time you get there, and if
she isn't, you will leave without her. THEN FOLLOW THROUGH.
I predict Hayley won't be late after that.

------------------------------------------------------------

DEAR ABBY: I am a single man living in Florida. Without
being invited, my sister called to inform me that she and
her husband would be coming to visit me over the Christmas/
New Year holiday. She said they planned to stay "a month or
so" to escape the harsh northern winter. Caught off guard,
I said I'd love to have them come for a week or 10 days,
but I didn't want them to move in with me. At that point,
she became miffed and said not to worry about it -- she and
my brother-in-law would visit her son in Las Vegas instead.

Now I'm wondering if I was rude. I don't want them planting
themselves in my home for months on end, but I don't want to
destroy our relationship either. I love them both, but I have
a life of my own. Did I make a mistake, or is it normal for
relatives to visit for months?
-- CONFOUNDED IN FLORIDA

DEAR CONFOUNDED: You did not make a mistake, and it is not
"normal" for people to invite themselves to be houseguests
as your sister did. Her attitude was presumptuous. Your
reaction was honest. What she proposed was an imposition.
If defending your privacy "destroys" your relationship,
your sibling bond wasn't strong to begin with. Frankly, I
think your sister had a lot of nerve, and her son has my
sympathy because it's going to be a long winter in Las Vegas.


DEAR ABBY: I am in my 70s, and I honestly do not know how to
respond when people ask me, "How are you?" I have had many
health problems in the last few years, and I don't think any-
one really wants to hear about them.
-- I'M JUST SAYIN'

DEAR JUST SAYIN': If you have any reason to think that the
person asking the question really doesn't care how you are,
then spare him or her an organ recital. Convey the expected
response, which is, "I'm fine -- how are you?"
