She’s a great travel companion, so I asked if she’d like to go to Nashville with me for a couple of days. It instantly changed to a week, and she invited other people to join us without dis- cussing it with me. Within 90 minutes of bringing up the trip to her, it no longer includes Nashville! It’s like she waited for me to invite her to do something just so she could change it to something she wanted to do. It really hurts that she over- steps my invitations. If I con- tinue to plan the trip, including everything she wants to do, we will be gone for weeks. What can I say or do to make her see I Dear Abby: A few years ago, I asked a friend to accom- pany me to a concert for which I oﬀ ered her a free ticket. (I paid $150 for each one.) The orig- inal plan was to travel from New York state to Ohio, which would have been a three-day weekend. She responded with a grateful yes, then instantly changed the location to head in the opposite direction, planned out the entire trip, including the driving, and turned it into a ﬁ ve-day trip. also lives under the same roof. She refuses to get a job or help around the house, and often cre- ates extreme drama. Benign events seem to set her oﬀ . I have told my parents on numerous occasions that I can’t deal with the madness, and either she goes or we do. But I end up feeling such immense guilt at the thought of my par- ents struggling with bills and daily rituals that I end up pushing those feelings of anger and resentment aside. I don’t know what I should do. Should I free myself from my sister’s unhinged behavior and move out, or should I stick it out and suck it up in order to really wanted to go to Nashville? — Derailed in New York Dear Derailed: Here’s what to say to this presumptuous person: “The itinerary you have planned isn’t what I had in mind at all, so carry on by your- self. I am going to Nashville.” And then follow through. Bon voyage! Dear Abby: I currently live in my parents’ house with my 1-year-old son and husband. We live here not because of unfor- tunate circumstances or events, but because we help my elderly and disabled parents with things such as bills, rent, groceries, etc. Unfortunately, my lazy sister be a good daughter and help my parents? — Rock And A Hard Place Dear Rock: The problem with issuing an ultimatum is that for it to be eﬀ ective, one has to be prepared to follow through. You haven’t done that, so your protestations aren’t taken seri- ously. You and your husband need to have one more talk with your parents and make clear that the current living situation isn’t working for you because it is too stressful. Tell them if the situ- ation isn’t changed — and your sister at the very least ﬁ nds a job and contributes — you and your husband will be moving. Then follow through. NEWS OF THE WEIRD Eye-popping 6,000 false lashes seized at New Orleans airport Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate. “There’s no telling what’s on these eyelashes,” he said. False eyelashes can be made of synthetics and are attached using adhesive, and unregulated or dan- gerous materials could lead to allergic reactions, eye irritation or worse, Dyman said. No business or indi- vidual has been cited, the newspaper reported. Unlabeled, non-FDA-ap- proved false lashes are often seized in New Orleans but oﬃ cials said this shipment was “particularly large,” WVUE-TV reported. The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS — Three thousand pairs of false eyelashes have been seized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents after oﬃ cials deter- mined they were illegally imported from China to New Orleans. The four boxes of long lashes seized Tuesday, July 6, at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Air- port were destined for a local beauty supply store, agency spokesperson Mat- thew Dyman said in a statement. They hadn’t been approved by the federal Food and Drug Adminis- tration and weren’t labeled with the distributor’s name or the manufacturer’s name, he said. That means there’s no way to tell whether the eye- lashes had been exposed to disease during manufac- turing or whether they were stored properly and kept away from insect-infested areas, Dyman told The lich. The man expelled a bag of marijuana and apolo- gized to the oﬃ cer. After the man recovered, Hoskins asked, “Do you want to die over a minor misdemeanor?” The man received cita- tions for speeding and failing to wear a seatbelt, according to Santiago. The man also received a sum- mons for marijuana and was released at the scene.

Olson believes there are even more buried under his Norton Shores home. He contacted the maker of the balls, Brunswick Bowling Products, which had a plant in the area and said they were made in the 1950s. He said former employees contacted him and told him the workers used to take scrapped bowling balls to use as an alternative to gravel or sand. Brunswick shut down the Muskegon plant in 2006. Olson said many of the balls aren’t in good shape; they don’t have ﬁ nger holes and aren’t pol- ished, according to MLive. com. He has donated some and plans to give some to the Muskegon Heritage Museum. He’ll use the rest for landscaping or to make sculptures, according to WZZM-TV. WED. THU.
