Dear Bubbi,

Are you really as old as your cartoon picture insinuates? I heard this column was being written by a much younger person.

~Curious Reader

Dear Curious Reader,

When I was born, Harry Truman was President, and the price of a first class stamp was three cents. A double dip ice cream cone at the A&P was a nickel and for fifty-two cents, I could get 3 mini burgers and a birch beer at Royal Castle. Hope that answers your question!

Dear Bubbi,

My sister fixed me up with her husband's favorite cousin. He's a nice guy but no sparks were flying from my end. He wants to see me again, but I'm really not interested. Any advice on how to get out of this gracefully? P.S. My brother-in-law is going to get really insulted!

~Caught In the Middle

Dear Caught In the Middle,

If the nice guy calls, tell him that you enjoyed meeting him, but you're going to pass on the second date. (You don't have to go into a big explanation) Send your brother-in-law a note thanking him for the introduction. Let him know that his cousin is a very nice guy but just not for you! You can't go wrong by being honest as long as you are polite!
