59 UnenviableLA TIMES CROSSWORD By Jonathan PotterTHURSDAY’S LA TIMES SOLUTION
© 2020 Tribune Content Agency, LLC. 12/11/20can do the same thing with a
more gradual unroll: If your
mother-in-law regularly says
rude things at church, then
choose to sit somewhere else
starting... w henever you can
start going to church again
safely. If she asks why, own it:
“When you [whatever], I feel
mortified.” This is for when the
“whatever” is egregious and you
can cite it specifically — such as,
“When you mocked the acolyte’s
acne.” For less-than-hateful
remarks, where no moral stand
is indicated, try, “I’m less
distracted when I sit alone.” Not
untrue, just incomplete.
If she’s merely loud in church,
and her remarks are generally
benign, then, beyond just not
encouraging her, your burden
sounds more perceived than
real. She embarrasses only
herself.
That doesn’t make it any more
fun to be around her, of course.
But it does make her behavior
suitable for reframing. Repeat to
yourself silently, “I’m not being
judged for this, she is — but I do
get to play What-Will-She-
Bellow-Next Bingo” (ages 12 to
adult).Write to Carolyn Hax at

Fr idays at live.washingtonpost.comin church, at a sporting event —
pre-covid — or generally out in
public, she doesn’t seem to
notice how loudly she speaks.
It’s embarrassing.
Don’t suggest hearing loss due
to old age. She has been this way
for the decades I’ve been
married to her son. Plus if you
say something quietly across the
room that interests her, believe
me, she will hear it.
The worst part is she has no
filter, either. At a high school
basketball game, for example,
she will VERY loudly criticize a
player, to the mortification of
those sitting next to her. Please
tell me how to handle this!
— ChagrinedChagrined: When someone next
to you in the stands VERY loudly
criticizes a player at a youth
sporting event — as in, acts like
a complete, under-socialized,
overweening jerk — stand up
without saying a word and move
to another seat.
Live your message. Feel your
blood pressure un-spike. And let
both the community around you
and your mother-in-law see that
you refuse to be a party to this
kind of behavior.
I wonder whether answering
this means I can deduct the cost
of 11 years of youth hockey as a
business expense.
Kidding, kidding, don’t @ me.
Church pews aren’t as
forgiving as bleachers, but youDear Carolyn: I
have a decades-
long friendship
with a guy from
college. Our
families are very
close and
vacation together
each summer
near his home. He
is a fun person but also an ill-
informed, foolish, Archie Bunker
type sometimes. My college-age
son no longer wants to see him
and his kids based on their
politics. My son said he cannot
be friends with people who
support racism, etc.
I completely get it and am
sympathetic to my son’s
position. I know my friend takes
his stand and influences his kids
to do the same because there is a
part of him that embraces an
inner 1950s male self. That said,
he is still a great guy and we
have a long history of
friendship. What do you
suggest?
— Dump My Dear Friend?Dump My Dear Friend?:
Respond to their bigotry as if the
people they demean are
witnessing your response.
Your friendship will either
survive that or it won’t. Natural
consequences.Dear Carolyn: My mother-in-
law apparently didn’t come with
a volume button. When we areHe’s a great guy, except for the bigotry
