DEAR ANNIE: My husband “Jack” has become so angry with me lately, and I don’t understand why. We have been married for 10 years, have two beautiful girls, ages 6 and 4, and he’s a great dad. However, with me, he is short-tempered and does not want to spend any “alone” time with me when I suggest we have date nights.

I am a stay-at-home mom and consider myself a good wife and mother, and don’t deserve to be made to feel badly about myself with his outbursts of anger, ...
DEAR HELOISE: We have a comment regarding the person that only uses the store wipes when leaving the store. My husband and I are both military veterans and shop at our local base commissary (grocery store). Whenever we shop there (or other stores), we insist that we use the wipes.

We’ve never seen a clear uvula hanging down at the back, but there it was. I rushed him to our local urgent care. We’re glad that we did as ...
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have horrible neck, shoulder, back and hip pain, which are all from different traumas. I’ve been seeing a pain doctor for the past 14 years. I started out taking 5 mg of Vicodin and 4 mg of trazodone. Over the years, my prescriptions have been raised to 7.5 mg of oxycodone four times a day and 800 mg of ibuprofen three times a day. I see my doctor every two weeks, and during these visits, I normally get shots (different ones in different places). My problem is that my pain medicine isn’t working anymore. Will I have to keep raising the dosage? I can’t take it ...
