Dear Abby: Don’t let preteen girl get spray-tanned

According to Dr. Darrell Rigel, professor of dermatology at New York University, any absorption of DHA — the main ingredient in spray tans — can pose a potential risk of genetic mutations, especially in repeated users of the product and those in higher-risk groups such as pregnant women and young children.

Recently there was a campuswide fundraising campaign during which one of the teachers sold brownies.

A student bought all of them for $1 each, then resold them at lunch for $2 apiece for his own profit.

Having purchased the brownies, the student could dispose of them as he wished.

If other students were willing to spend $2 for $1 brownies, well — that’s capitalism.

Perhaps next year the teacher who sold the brownies should raise her rates.

Why do friends ignore a woman after being friends for many years because she is now widowed? I am not the only one who says this.

[...] I am no longer invited to lunch or dinner gatherings.

Unfortunately, there’s not much you can do to change the behavior of the people you thought were your friends.
