school-age children and it

schooly-music lessons, Scouts.
and a doen other plgees.
My neighbor has children
about the same age,and we
try to share the driving when
the youngsters are going to
the same place. Lately, how-
ever, it seeins that every time
it's her turn' to drive she
claims she has starting trou-

Dear DeDe. '
i'771 a -single girl, just out
of college and I've bought my
first car.
Frankly, every time I take
it in for service, I feel 1 ,am
being condescended .to,
.be-
cause 1 am a woman. I have
no 'complaints about the
service, but 1 resent being -
told, in so many words, "Y6U
wouldn't understand'," when
1 ask exactly what was done
to my car.
Where can a girl learn'the
basics of auto mechanics?
