We Hadnot spent that much time together in Many years and i was shocked by How my father had aged. His eyes were glazed and he seemed to be living in a fog much of the time. I was concerned about dads medication and my Mother told me that his doctor had prescribed All the pills a and dad had been going for checkups every three months for the last 10 years and was still taking the pills. After they went Home a letter appeared in your col Jun about Over medication of older people. One Point it made was that since the organs become less efficient at ridding the body of toxins As one Ages a dosage that is appropriate at 70 May be too Strong at 80. I phoned my Mother and read her the letter and urged her to Contact my fathers doctor and discuss it with him. She did a and the doctor Cut the dosage by half and eliminated some pills altogether. My parents just left after spending two weeks with us again this year. Abby my father is a new person he seems years younger and that glazed look is gone from his eyes.

Please write again and let me know How this turns out. C creators Syndicate cats in our Yard because they keep the moles out of our Lawn and other rodents out of the Garden. They Are also very Sweet tempered and a a visit us when we Are outdoors. Our problem is that the four of us share the same Back Yard with a neighbor who hates cats and has threatened to kill them if they come into her Yard. She a repeated this threat three different times and we re starting to believe her. The Cost of a Fence that would Stop a cat is just not possible at this time. Do you or any of your readers know of a Plant that would repel cats that we could Plant along the Edge of our properties i know that marigolds Are supposed to repel mosquitoes and other insects and that there Are plants to repel moles. Perhaps if we made the property Ine a undesirable a the cats would stay in our Yards. Gratefully yours dear gratefully to quote or. Irwin David my veterinary medical expert a there Are plants that repel insects but not cats. Even if you planted a hedge it would have to be very thick and tall to prevent a cat from going through it or Over so your Only solution is to keep the cats under a watchful Eye until you and your neighbors have saved enough to split the Cost of a sturdy Fence. Sorry. Dear Abby i am submitting a Limerick that May be a bit too suggestive for your column. Maybe not. You be the judge.
