Thursday, June 23, 2011 – Daily News 3B Illicit intimacy irks immoral inveigler Dear Annie: I am having an affair with a married woman. We used to live together and then separated under conditions that were totally my fault. After- ward, I begged her forgiveness and proposed marriage. She declined, but we continued our physical relationship. She then abruptly ended this relationship and married someone else. I was devastated. She told me she wanted to be friends, and I told her I never wanted to see her again. Within months of her mar- riage, she called to say she missed me and wanted to be with me again. Our affair is now in its second year. She says she loves me. I have asked her to leave her husband, but she won’t, either out of fear, embarrassment or an unwillingness to leave the comfortable lifestyle he pro- vides her. I have told her if she won’t tell him about me, I will do it myself, even though it might mean losing her. But I’m hardly a part of her life now anyway. Do I have a right to do this? — Right or Wrong Dear Wrong: You shouldn’t interfere in someone else’s marriage, either by having an affair with his wife or by con- fronting him with the information. Your choice is to continue seeing this woman or break it off. We will tell you this: She is not going to leave her husband for you. She will keep you dangling on a string as long as you permit it. Please let her go, and find someone who is willing to return your love and devotion. Dear Annie: My husband and I Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar received a printed invitation from a friend to attend her husband’s surprise birthday party. Before I had a chance to RSVP, she e- mailed, saying she hoped we could come and, if so, asked that I bring an appetizer. I was taken aback and didn’t realize I was co- hosting this party. Should I respond that we’ll: 1. Attend with the appetizer and birth- day gift? 2. Attend, decline on the appetizer, but promise to send money to offset the cost of food and inquire if there will be a cash bar? 3. Send regrets? I guess I’m having a problem with asking guests to provide the food. I could understand bringing something if a bunch of friends decided as a group to have a potluck or if I had volunteered to cook. What am I to do? — Unwilling Co- Host Dear Unwilling: It is OK to tell your friend you would love to attend the party but prefer not to be responsible for feed- ing her guests. However, if this is a very close friend, it would be gracious of you to agree to her request, even though it was totally inappropriate of her to put you on the spot. Maintaining friendships sometimes requires overlooking such impositions. Dear Annie: ‘‘Want To Make Things Right’’ said her friend claimed neigh- bors were bombarding his house with ‘‘rays,’’ the shower made his skin burn and his dogs refused to drink the tap water. I liked your suggestion to contact the Environmental Protection Agency. Too many people have been labeled delu- sional when there is a real cause. There is something wrong with the water if the dogs won’t drink it. The latest method of extracting gas (fracking) involves forcing chemicals into the rocks, causing them to fracture and release the trapped gas. Unfortu- nately, the process can poison the groundwater supply. Many incidents of poisoned animals, sickened people and tap water bursting into flames by a lighted match have been reported, but not much is being done. I thought perhaps you could spread the word. — Not Delusional in Missouri Dear Missouri: This is a highly con- troversial issue, with adherents on both sides. So far, Congress has been unsuc- cessful in passing legislation to require energy companies to disclose the chemi- cals used in fracking and to comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act. All cholesterol lowering drugs are not statins DEAR DR. GOTT: I read your column every day and thank you for your advice. I would like to know if Welchol is a statin drug. Some doctors say yes, some say no. I would also like to know the warnings and more about this product. DEAR READER: Welchol is not a statin drug. It was approved by the Food and Drug Administra- tion several years ago as a new drug for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes and it was found to lower LDL (low- density lipoprotein) choles- terol as an adjunct to diet and exercise. It is not appropriate for Type 1 diabetics. Side effects can include weakness, constipation, dys- pepsia, muscle aches and pains, nausea, stomach pain, headache and indigestion. Your letter failed to indi- cate whether you have per- sonally been prescribed the product, if you know some- one who has been, or if either party suffers from high cho- lesterol levels and/or Type 2 diabetes. Your physician may have Dr. Peter Gott tions. Why is your physician ordering this? What are the side effects? How long will I be on it? How long before I should notice improvement? Do I take it on an empty stomach or with food? In the morning or in the evening? Will it interfere with any herbal supplements I may be on? Never take a drug without being well-informed. That’s part of an office visit — and may be the most important part of the visit. DEAR DR. GOTT: I had open-heart surgery five years ago and have been gasping for air ever since. I have talked to other people who fires and their potential to destroy life and property, the Tehama-Glenn Unit of the Cali- fornia Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire) and the Tehama County Fire Department (TCFD) will sus- pend debris burning for the east side of Tehama County on July 1. Areas included are the com- munities of Mineral, Childs Meadows, Deer Creek, and Mill Creek. The ban will be in effect until the end of summer pre- paredness staffing levels (Fire Season). The burn ban went into found a multipur- pose drug that works on two problems at the same time, but by writing to ask for additional informa- tion, you bring up a good point. When any medication, even an over-the-counter one, has been pre- scribed, ask ques- had the procedure, and they are the same way. I’d like to know if there is a medicine I can take to eliminate this. DEAR READER: I would be more comfortable if you indicated your surgery was performed recently, as five years is much too long for symptoms to continue and for your quality of life to be affected. There are a number of pos- sibilities for shortness of breath (SOB), including scar tissue; stent, bypass grafting or valve failure; a side effect of a prescribed medication; reflux; hypothyroidism; con- gestive heart failure; and lung disease. Perhaps you are not taking your anti-coagulant correctly, or you are on a medication with SOB listed as a side effect. If this were the case, a simple medication change might be all that is necessary. However, at this stage your symptoms will likely contin- ue unless you take the neces- sary steps. There is no cause for alarm, but I recommend you make an appointment with your primary care physician effect for the rest of Tehama County and State Responsibili- ty Areas (SRA) of Glenn Coun- ty on June 1. Agricultural, forest manage- ment, and other industrial type burning may proceed if an authorized fire official inspects the area and issues a special permit. Always check with the Air Pollution Control District to verify if it is a legal burn day prior to starting any burn. Campfires will be allowed in designated campgrounds with permission of the jurisdictional authority and a valid campfire and/or cardiologist to deter- mine the basis for your com- plaint. Perhaps additional lab or X-ray testing is appropri- ate. If you fail to obtain a sat- isfactory explanation, request a referral to another physi- cian or specialist who can put the pieces together.

ROGERS, Assistant District Attorney Publish: June 9, 16 & 23, 2011 Burn ban suspension placed for higher elevations of Tehama County Due to the menace of wild- permit. Experience has shown that suspending burning is an effec- tive way of preventing wildfire escapes, especially as Tehama and Glenn Counties enter a period of hotter and drier weather. Although all fires cannot be prevented through a burning suspension, the number of fires can be significantly reduced. CalFire reminds homeown- ers that this is the time they can help protect their homes and families, as well as firefighters, by providing 100 feet of defen- sible space around all struc- tures.
