GOTT: means For a while, I couldn't pick up a newspaper or watch television without the topic of bedbugs heading the news. Now I'm not seeing or hearing as much. Does that mean they are all gone? I'm frankly not sure I understand how they became such a problem in the first DEAR READER: While we are not reading about them in the daily headlines or hearing about them on the evening news, bedbugs remain a major concern. They were a major health concern until the 1950s, but with the discovery of DDT, infestations declined. Unfortunately, the pesticide has since been banned because of its toxicity to our environment.

This has led to resurgence. People are engaging more in international travel; others are purchasing recycled bedding and couches from secondhand shops or are removing them from drop-off areas on city streets; homeless shelters are filled to capacity owing to our failing economy; and contaminated linens are manufactured cheaper in other countries and shipped to the United States. This isn't to imply you shouldn't purchase or obtain secondhand furniture; it simply BABIES Kolton Usher Clista and Timothy Usher of Park Hills are the parents of a son. born January 12, 2011 at Parkland Health Center in Farmington.

They can, however, live for months without eating and prefer crowded surroundings such as hotels with heavy traffic, apartment buildings and military barracks, remaining rather dormant during the day and becoming active at night. We unfairly and incorrectly relate bedbugs with dirty living conditions. This is a misnomer. They don't care whether a home is dirty or clean. Their only purpose is to be fed through human blood, although some prefer a meal from bats or birds.

They hide out in cracks and crevices of upholstered furniture, under wallpaper and carpeting, behind electrical outlets, in box springs and mattresses. Telltale signs of bugs include brown to black specks of feces or waste material, tiny blood smears on bedding from JAC In Loving Memory of Zac McDowell August 19, 1982 February 26, 2009 Zac you were the best.

I can't process the thought of having such great friends and mentors and losing them. I'm afraid for the future and how I will miss everything I've experienced at my school. Do you have any suggestions on how to deal with all this? I can barely sleep because I feel like it's only going to get worse. LEAVING IT ALL BEHIND IN Abby LOUISIANA DEAR LEAVING IT ALL BEHIND: You have the rest of your junior year and senior year of high school to enjoy. Please don't cloud them by worrying that you will lose touch with your friends and mentors.

Once you graduate, you will have the Internet and social networking sites to keep you in touch, and you can see each other during vacations. You have great adventures ahead of you and so do they. True friendships don't have to end because of distance. While some of them may, others last a lifetime. And those are the ones that count.

DEAR ABBY: I have no contact with my mother for many reasons. It was difficult to sever the relationship, but after my son was born for his safety and well being I felt I had no choice. My mother has seen my son once, when he was 6 months old. She had just been released from jail and arrived at my home stoned and out of it. I made sure she found a safe way home and haven't spoken to her since.

My son will be 3 soon. Yesterday we were talking about families and he asked, "You don't have a mommy?" I replied, "Yes, I do. Her name is Cindy." Thankfully, he left it at that. But it started me thinking about what I should say when he asks me questions about his grandmother. I had planned on talking to him when I he was older because addictions can run in families, and I want him to be aware of it when making choices in his teen and later years.

What do you tell a 3-year-old who wonders who his grandma is? OUT OF ANSWERS IN WISCONSIN DEAR OUT OF ANSWERS: You have already started the dialogue. When your son wants to know why Grandma Cindy doesn't visit, that will be the time you tell him she can't be around because she's sick and isn't able to be. As your son grows older, continue to answer his questions honestly and in an age- appropriate way. DEAR ABBY: When we are in a restaurant eating a meal and someone we know comes by our table, he or she always reaches out to shake hands with me to be friendly. I am from the country and sometimes I pick up chicken strips, French fries, fish or hush puppies to eat them naturally my fingers get grease on them.

Also, I don't know whether that person has washed his or her hands or not. So, what's a polite way to refuse to shake with someone? I don't want to be rude. I try not to bother people when they're eating because I believe that is a private time. ARKANSAS DINER DEAR DINER: All you have to say is, "I'd love to shake hands, but mine are greasy." That's not rude; it's considerate and the person will probably thank you. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

There are tax considerations and other factors that determine whether converting to a Roth IRA is right for you. Edward Jones, its employees and financial advisors cannot provide tax or legal advice. Please consult your attorney or qualified tax advisor regarding your situation. Call today to schedule an appointment to learn more. We'll discuss your retirement goals to help determine if a Roth IRA makes sense for you.
