Dear Abby: Insensitive in-law won't crop rapist out of collage

We have asked her three times, but she refuses to budge.

- Appalled in Illinois

DEAR APPALLED: Was your mother-in-law aware of what this person had done to her granddaughter when the collage was created? If so, her reaction is bizarre and unbelievably insensitive.

Approach her once more and ask if she would agree to agree to take down the collage when your family visits. If the response to that request is also negative, I wouldn't blame you if you went there very rarely, if ever.

DEAR ABBY: My husband of eight years will not resolve his foot odor problem. We live in a small apartment, and it's humiliating when we have company and half the apartment smells like stinky feet.

He refuses to wear socks, and his solution in winter is to open all the windows and turn on the fan as soon as he returns from work. The "airing out" never completely gets rid of the smell - and I freeze! How can I get him to change?

- Fed Up in Manhattan

DEAR FED UP: You obviously can't change your husband, but you don't have to risk getting pneumonia, either. Shoe repair shops sell deodorizing products in the form of sprays and powder, but baking soda works well, too.
