Re-learning, help! Yes, I am busy releaming how to use an older Computer. My other computer simply died, leaving me to a great deal of old and new learn- ing. So far most of my morning has been captured by the unknown. Per- haps it is because it is Halloween Day! I certainly hope not but this task has become somewhat haunt- ing and difficult to accomplish. I have not been very successful in either re-learning or new-learn- ing. After many, many weeks of submitting a variety of publishable columns comments, this and that Computers of the past have appar- ently slowed down in comparison to the new I-pads, Computer 8,s and who knows what else. Having many people try to fix my apparently broken machines, I pulled out my "StarWriter" machine. I thought I would print my column out from the machine and hand deliver it to the R.B. Daily News. Trying to releam the Star- Writer was a surprise and it appears I had forgotten much of its qualities I had used many years ago. I have a feeling that I will have to deliver this current group of words and hope that they are somewhat helpful. Currently I am typing on my old DELL computer which is somewhat cooperative except that it has somehow cleared all my e-mail addresses from the computer. I am going to continue to check to see if this diatribe will print from my printer as that too has not been exceptionally cooperative. Alright, it did print about 200 words, yes frustrated words. down and see if it will continue to prepare for sending this diatribe to the Daily news. I am beginning to calm down and hope that I will somehow get out of this turmoil of not getting all the mechanical machines to work as I want them to do. So perhaps I can calm must tackle the re-organization of this cluttered up office. I have a feeling that some mem- bers of my family are shaking their heads and wondering if I will ever give up stacks of papers and ornaments and pictures that I truly do not have to keep. In reality I think the message that is coming across to me is that I really do need to get my home office room straightened up. The fact is that it looks awful and really does need to have major re-arrangement. My mother was one of those people who could keep everything in order and for a number of years I strove to be just like her. Unfortunately, I began to get very interested in writ- ing and teaching, which require a lot of concentration which does not allow much time for re-organizing desks, cupboards, chairs, floors and boxes of so called important items. My mind was diligent in encour- aging me to keep many, many items, as I told myself that I would need every scrap and item another time.

S. army district engineer, with a view of investigation the feasibility of deepen- ing the Sacramento river channel between Chico Landing and this city has had the effect of renewing interest that has been dormant for some time in inland navigation. The subject is being widely discussed and all who have expressed themselves declare they are in favor of resuming the boat service if it can possibly be done. — Nov. 3, 1922 eventually moved to the same state. The problem was Joe's wife. She did everything possible to interfere with my relationship with Bobby, including intercepting phone mes- sages and opening his mail, not giv- ing my name to the school as an emergency contact, giving me false information about Bobby's sched- ule, and blatantly lying to Joe about everything she and I discussed. Worse, she told Bobby I didn't care about him. voice was a message he left on Mother's Day five years ago. The last time I saw him was at his high school graduation, after which he and his father and stepmother moved to another state where Bobby started college. I have tried to contact him multiple times, to no The last time I heard Bobby's avail. I believe he has since discovered the truth, but has not yet called me. At this point, I think he's just embarrassed. But I need him to know something: There is nothing he could do or say that would make me love him less. He is my son. I love him and I miss him. There will be no blame. All he has to do is walk through the front door and say, ''Mom, what's for dinner?'' — Waiting Patiently Dear Waiting: We hope he sees this and will do just that. Mean- while, please call Joe directly and ask him to tell Bobby that you love him and miss him.

The best line I've ever heard to get guests to leave is: ''Come on, Mother, let's go to bed so these nice folks can go home'' — Sarasota, Fla. Dear Annie: ''Tired in Toutle'' more: From Florida: Years ago, we had a party, and a few guests were still hanging around at 4 a.m. My husband and I kept looking at each other wondering how to get them to leave. He disappeared and came out brushing his teeth. Hint taken and they left. We laughed about it for a long time. Boston: Perhaps instead of two hours of conversation before dinner, she should try a half-hour of pre- dinner talk, allowing time for a relaxed and enjoyable conversation afterward. Most people are not inclined to ''eat and run.'' In fact, the guests may want to leave as badly as the hostess seems to want them to, but leaving immediately after dinner seems rude. New York: We have a friend who, when it's time to leave, takes off her earrings. This has always been a joke among her friends, but it's effective. Texas: She should do like my late grandfather. If someone stayed past Grandpa's bedtime, he would take off his shoes and tell my grand- mother, ''If they're gonna be here all night, better make up a pallet for them on the floor.'' That usually made the guests leave within a few minutes. Dear Sarasota: That line was the one the vast majority of our readers suggested. We like it.
