View online obituary at cozeanfuneralhome.com. Mabel May Radford DESLOGE Mabel Radford, 88, of Imperial, passed away March 19, 2017, at de Greeff Hospice House in St. Louis. She was born January 4, about it, and he's angry. He knows it's time to change his life around and get serious.

Should I keep the date and keep my fingers crossed he'll find a job by then, or postpone our wedding, which has a venue but nothing else planned? I don't need to get married anytime soon, and I'd prefer to wait until he can support himself and we are in a better place financially. Then I feel like we could move forward. Am I making the right decision? CAUTIOUS IN NEW JERSEY DEAR CAUTIOUS: Yes, you are. You are thinking with your head instead of being swept away by your emotions, and I applaud you for it. I have said for many years that before a woman marries she should be able to support herself, in case future circumstances require it.

Well, the same is true for a DEAR ABBY: My fiance and I have been engaged for two years. Our wedding is set for a year from now. I'm thinking about calling off our wedding, not because I don't love him, or because I don't want to spend the rest of my life with him. I know DEAR ABBY 1 want that. It's because I'm the only one with a decent job.

He has a job, but doesn't earn enough to support us. I can't be the only one earning an income. How are we supposed to move out of our parents' houses and start a life together if I'm the one doing everything? What will happen when things need to start getting paid for, and there's no guarantee he'll find something?

James Gordon Wells JEFFERSON CITY James Gordon Wells, 96, of Jefferson City passed away Wednesday, March 15, 2017, at Columbia Manor 3jf surrounded by his aaugnters. Jim was born July 25, 1920, the son of the late John and Evelyn (Marshall) Wells in Flat River, Missouri. He was a graduate of Farmington High School, and later graduated from never forgive myself if something happened to her. How many more chances should I give her with this credit card? First Strike, Towson, Maryland DEAR FIRST STRIKE: Your daughter needs to learn how to be responsible with the card. Rather than taking it away from her, let her know that she must pay the bill.

This means she may need to get a part-time job while she's at school. This is very common for college students. Suggest that she speak to the administration office to learn of work-study jobs that might be available. She may want to talk to a professor in her major to report having some form of tinnitus on a regular basis. Like you, the vast majority of them have subjective tinnitus, which is sound that only the patient can hear.

In objective tinnitus, which affects just 1 percent of the population, the sounds a patient hears are audible to others as well. The causes of objective tinnitus are most often internal conditions related to blood flow in vessels near the ear. Men are more prone to tinnitus than women, and it becomes increasingly common as we age. Individuals who work in loud environments, such as factories and construction sites, are at increased risk. Recent studies suggest that earbuds, which sit so close to the delicate structures of the inner ear, may also put users at higher risk.

At this time, there is no single treatment for tinnitus. An examination by an ear specialist, known as an otolaryngologist, can pinpoint whether tinnitus is due to earwax buildup, medication or, more rarely, a blood vessel condition. These are often treatable. If not, your doctor can help you explore noise suppression techniques such as using a white noise machine, or masking devices that are worn in the ears. Meanwhile, you can take steps to lessen the impact of tinnitus.

Make sure your blood pressure is under control, avoid loud noises, which can set off a tinnitus episode, and this will improve your overall quality of life be sure to get enough rest.

DEAR DOCTOR: Sometimes I get a sudden hiss -ing sound in my right ear that lasts for a few minutes and then slowly goes away. What is it, and is there anything I can do to make it stop? DEAR READER: What you're experiencing is known as tinnitus, which is the medical term for a perceived sound that doesn't have an external source. Tinnitus Ct- is not a condition i in and of itself i DUt js instead ROBERT a symptom of ASHLEY some other un- derlying problem. Exposure to noise is a major cause of tinnitus, as is hearing loss. Both can result in damage to the sensitive hair cells that line the cochlea.

This is the portion of the inner ear that translates vibrations into nerve impulses, which are then sent to the brain to be interpreted as sound. Blockage due to earwax buildup, as well as changes to the ear bones as we age, can contribute to tinnitus. Some medications, including certain antibiotics, cancer drugs, antidepressants and high doses of aspirin, are known to play a role in tinnitus. Although the most common form of tinnitus involves a ringing in the ears, people with this condition may also hear the hissing you describe, as well as buzzing, clicking, humming, whistling or a roaring sound, like wind. In rare cases, patients with tinnitus have even reported hearing music.

Tinnitus can affect one or both ears. It ranges in volume from a low, background noise that is bearable and even forgettable, to sounds so loud and persistent that they interfere with daily life. In many cases, tinnitus is temporary. In severe cases, the phantom sounds never go away.

Genevieve mowing season DEAR HARRIETTE: I just found out that my daughter has been using her emergency credit card, which I gave her when she went away to school, for frivolous purchases. I gave her this card with the confidence that she would use it in case she were ever stranded and needed it for HARRIETTE COLE safety. I know she is using this to buy herself expensive sushi dinners, but I can't bring myself to take it away. I would see if she can work a few hours a week with him or her. Don't do the legwork for her.

Give your daughter a certain amount of time to repay you for the extraneous charges she made. Remind her that the card is exclusively for emergencies. Give her a list of what you consider emergencies to be, and have her agree out loud so that there's no question about usage. If she complies, let her keep the card. If she does not, take back the card and let her know that she will have to call you in case of emergency.

She has to experience the consequences of her actions, or she will not learn.
