DEAR ABBY: Our dining area is near a sliding glass
door that opens onto the patio. We eat all our meals there.
My husband continually opens and closes the door while
we're eating to feed the dogs from the table and tend to
their needs. He's up and down constantly. It drives me
crazy!
I have told him and told him how annoying it is to have
him feed the dogs from the table, but he pays no attention
to me Every mealtime is a nightmare, and it's very hard
on my digestive system to eat while I'm aggravated.
What's the matter with this man? And what should I do
about it?

another room where you can enjoy a calm and
peaceful meal. Tell him he's in the doghouse, and let
him eat w ith the dogs!

DEAR FED UP: If his inconsiderate behavior is

DEAR ABBY What can a mother do when she knows

22 and up to his neck in debt — he owes me money and
also owes the bank He knows he can’t afford to get mar
ried now, but this girl is constantly trying to get him to
change his mind I tried to talk to the girl, but you can't
tell her anything They would like me to help them What

DEAR HAS HERPES: Recent studies show that
the Herpes Virus II (affecting the genitals) can sur-
vive on a toilet seat, hands, clothing and elsewhere
for hours, and theoretically can be transmitted to
an innocent party, so your husband could be telling
the truth.
About your “wonderful married man,” tell him!
He should be examined immediately by a physician.
It is imperative that he use protection during any
future sexual encounters with you.

How to dry wood
By Polly Fisher
DEAR POLLY — How long should I allow freshly cut
wood to cure before burning it in my woodstove'’ - PAUL
R.
DEAR PAUL R. — According to the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, wood should dry out for at least nine months for
the most satisfactory use as a heating fuel. Green wood is
harder to start burning, takes longer to heat up and produces
less heat per pound than dry wood That's because it contains
a great deal more water than dry wood. However, green
(sometimes referred to as "wet") wood produces a longer
lasting fire Some experts recommend burning a combina-
tion of green and dry wood in a stove or fireplace. That way
you get a hot fire that starts easily, but burns longer. For
example, green wood can be useful if you need a fire to burn
throughout a long night If you cannot dry your wood for nine
months before using it, try to obtain dead trees that have
shed their bark.
By the way. I’m glad to bear that you have a stove. Did
you know that fireplaces are the most inefficient wood-burn
ing "furnaces"'’ Glass doors used in connection with some
kind of heat radiator are next in efficiency and airtight
stoves or furnaces are the most efficient way to extract heat
from wood. If you can purchase wood inexpensively or grow
or cut your own, wood heat can represent a real savings on
your energy bill if you use it correctly. For more informa
tion, you can write to the Office of Governmental and Public
Affairs of the United States Department of Agriculture in
Washington and ask for their informational bulletins on
heating with wood. — POLLY

ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Even though you may be pres-

important situation, keep your
hopes and expectations within
