I had thought Audrey Chinn was Aubrey until I saw his name in
last week's issue.  He was Jo Ann Davis's dad, and he was notor-
ious for kicking his old tractor out of gear and coasting down the
hills in Sunfish and Roundhill for extra speed. His grandson Don-
nie "Donk" Davis told me that he did that one time with two wag-
onloads of  square  bales  of  hay  hooked behind the tractor.  The
wagons were swapping and slapping the roadsides.  Donk was the
last to jump off; and just as he did, the last wagon came unhooked
and turned over in the woods.   Just a little Sunfish/Roundhill lore
for you.


Unisex name of the week:  Elisha.


Dumb news from Indiana:
Silver Creek schools voted to secede from the West Clark
County School District (leaving  Henryville  and  Borden).
But if you live elsewhere in the county, you can still go to
school in Clarksville (separate district), or in Charlestown
or Jeffersonville (county seat) in the greater Clark County
School District.

The director of a "no kill" animal shelter in Richmond  was

                                            "I celebrated Thanksgiving in the traditional way.    I invited ev-
                                              eryone in my neighborhood to my house for an enormous feast.
                                              Then I killed them and took their land."

The sports:
The Cleveland Browns almost won a game last Sunday in the
National Football League (the Jacksonville Jaguars beat them
19-7 with a surge in the 4th quarter, leaving the Browns at 0-
10 for the season);  but they played the whole  game  without
being called for a penalty,  for the first time since 1962.

Dear Eleanor:
Recent revelations regarding sexual harassment have promp-
ted me to examine some of my own behavior.  I  have  never
raped or knowingly sexually harassed any woman. I have al-
ways held women in high regard and tried to treat them with
respect and decency. But I have said things and acted in ways
that might be questionable.  I would like your comment.

I have often told women at work that they look attractive, usu-
ally citing their outfits.   On occasion I've done that with wom-
en  I  don' t  know;  but I've always prefaced it with a qualifier,
such as "I hope you won't take this the wrong way,"  and  then
added,  "but I would like to say how lovely you look."

When I have discerned that they are not offended, I have added
in a clearly humorous voice,  "Are you married?"  If the answer
is "no," I might say, "If you are not busy this weekend,  can  we
elope?"  If the answer is yes I might ask, "Do you fool around?"
That usually gets a laugh or a smile.

But with the emergence of "Me, too" and all the awakening con-
sciousness of women  – which I wholeheartedly support –  I am
wondering whether my remarks might have be interpreted as un-
wanted sexual advances.

I want to do right.  I'd appreciate your thoughts.
                                                                                Woman Lover
Dear Lover Boy:
                                If you're opening with "Please don't take this the
                                wrong way," you're sort of asking for it to be ta-
                                ken that way.  You need to read the  "Quotations
                                of the Wheat"  in  this  publication  every  week.
                                There's  your  guidance.  He begins every hit on
                                a woman with "Excuse me, Miss, but . . . ."
And
                                then he adds "are those your  legs?" or "
you may
                                be the second prettiest girl in town!" or
somesuch.
                                It works  every  time.  They get too amused to be
                                offended – especially if their boy friends are with
                                them.  He often scores with them,  and he has not
                                been arrested yet  (for sexual harassment).

Dear Eleanor:
I am a lesbian.   My girl friend and I have been dating for six
months. We have an awesome relationship, and are very hap-
py and open with each other.

I know she has dated guys in the past  –  so have I  –  so I am
not worried about that nonsense at all.    But I recently found
something of hers that surprised me.   It was a
pregnancy test
container, and one was missing with a "Plan B" pill alongside
it.

I  know  "stuff  happens,"  but I would rather it not happen in
our  apartment.  I'm tempted to bring it up,  but I'd rather not.
Would it be weird if I just threw the stuff out  without  telling
her, or should I say something? What if she wants to keep it?
I don’t think that would be the case, but it would start a fight
because, as a female couple, we should not need a pregnancy
test.

Maybe I'm overthinking this, but I would appreciate some ad-
vice.
            
                                                        Surprised About It
Dear Surpy:
                        So, what nonsense are you worried about?

                        You may have a problem, girl – like, maybe, a MAN-
                        age a trois.   Just  ask  your  sweetie,  "How long has
                        this been going on?"

Unisex name of the week: 
René, Renée,  in French, English, Spanish, Dutch, Danish, Ger-

    man, Czech and Slovak.  The extra e is for women.  Its root is the Latin Renatus, and it's
    Renat in Hungarian, Polish and Slovak also, and Renato in Italian, Portuguese
and Span-
    ish
also;  feminine,  Renata.  Your editor once worked for
a boss named René at the San
    Francisco Examiner,  but he pronounced it "Rennie."   Here in the County there  are  al-
    most as many ways to spell the feminine version as there are to spell Brittany (etc.) and
    Katelyn (etc.), including Renee, Renée (yes, some actually do use the accent aigu ), Re-
    nae, Ranae and Rena.  Hang on, atheists!  It means "born again" however you spell it or
    say it. . . .

Dear Eleanor:
My former boy friend once told me I was "OK,  not great"
in  bed.  It made me  feel  unattractive;  and now that I am
dating someone new,  I can’t stop thinking about it.  Am I
bad in bed?  Am I enthusiastic enough?  Too enthusiastic?
This is messing with my self-confidence.   How can I feel
like I’m a good lover?  How do I get my ex’s voice out of
my head?
                                                                          Wobbly Bed
Dear Weeble:
                           There are numerous web sites with videos that
                           show you how to "do it."  Here's one.  If these
                           don't help,  and your man doesn't rave,  maybe
                           you  are  unattractive  (send me a photo  and a
                           scent sample  if you write again).

HOW TO UNSUBSCRIBE:

  Remember,  if you don't want to receive any more of this  inane  crap,
just hit your "Reply" button and type in the subject line, "GET THESE
TABLOID HEADLINES OUT OF MY LIFE AND FUCK OFF!"

 
But remember also, you have to spell and punctuate the message
exactly as it appears above,
without quotation marks, and without
that redundant "Re:" that appears in so many subject lines
or you
will keep getting this shit! ("Cut and paste" won't work, either. We
have a special filter to detect that.)

Dear Eleanor:
I'm dating a guy who works out of town and is home every
four weeks.  "Jake" calls and texts me often  to say he mis-
ses me all the time.  And he always asks me how  I  feel  a-
bout him.  He asks, "Do you even like me?"  I think it's be-
cause I don't drop everything when he calls like other wom-
en he's known.

I recently found out on Facebook that Jake went on a cruise
with a woman he used to live with.   She's been posting pic-
tures of the cruise and saying how much she loves Jake. But
there's nothing about the cruise posted on Jake's page. I told
him I read her comments.   He said he didn't know anything
about it and that she obviously was just thanking all the peo-
ple on the cruise for their love and support.    But  he  added
that she's a wonderful woman and that they'd be in a relation-
ship if she lived closer.

I said he is being unfair to both of us, but he responds that he
is not married  and  will continue to call me until I tell him to
stop.  Since then he's phoned a couple of times, and I've refu-
sed to take his calls.  Is this a case of  wanting  to  have  your
cake and eat it, too?
                 
                                                                Daisy Mae
Dear Doozy:
                         Nah, it sounds to me more like a case of dum-de-dum
                         dumb.  Get a clue,  Ditzy Mae!  The guy is unmarried
                         and can and will do what he wants.    If you can't han-
                         dle it, leave the receiver on the hook;  if you can't han-
                         dle Clutterbook,  don't look.

many NPR correspondents.  And she is  not pretty,  and does not
pretend to be. 
But, unlike many of her colleagues at NPR,  she is
intelligent
