I spend a fair amount of time in the car browsing through the gauges, resetting the clock, dusting the radio buttons and playing with the side mirrors. Sometimes if I'm spotted from the house, I even start the car and leave the driveway. Even that is risky.

I was tooling down the boulevard singing with Melissa Manchester the other morning. As we got to the long note, my mouth was wide open and my face was flushed when I stopped for a light. I glanced at the man in the car next to me who was staring in horror. I had the feeling he was ready to dial 911 on his cellular phone, so I feigned a yawn. He seemed satisfied and drove off.

Systemic scleroderma, however, usually shows up in late middle age and does not improve. Symptoms of scleroderma include hardened patches of skin that may be paler or darker than surrounding skin. These patches or plaques may form stripes or blotches. Blotches of reddened skin also may be present. Often, a first symptom is Reynaud's syndrome, where circulation to the hands is cut off periodically.

Do you have any idea how ridiculous you feel when you think you have the house to yourself and you turn up a recording of Liza Minnelli to 97 decibels? You have already lip-synced the first two choruses of "New York, New York" and now you're down to the big finish. You are strutting now, kicking your legs higher than the coffee table and warbling, "If I can make it there I'll make it anywhere," when one of the kids is framed in the doorway and says, "If you're going to do an encore, I can come back." So much for fantasies. The bathroom used to be as close to privacy as anyone can get in a home since it's the only room in the house that has a door that locks. Still, one night I was in front of the mirror rehearsing my ad-libs for a meeting of the Four Seasons Garden Club. "And now," I said, "I'd like to introduce you to a woman who needs shiny, waxy appearance.

The thickened skin may impede joint movement and cause fingers and limbs to stiffen and contract. The gastrointestinal and respiratory systems may deteriorate. Patients may have difficulty in swallowing and suffer symptoms of heartburn because the esophagus has narrowed. They frequently experience increasing shortness of breath. Kidney function also may deteriorate in some scleroderma sufferers, which brings on high blood pressure.

There is no cure for scleroderma, but treatments can minimize the symptoms and their progression. Scleroderma appears to respond best when early therapy is initiated. Medications such as blood vessel dilators, anti-inflammatory agents and, in some cases, immune-suppression drugs can help in the Ann Landers things until I got them. When I went to my gynecologist he told me they are quite common, especially on college campuses. Please print something about genital warts in your column, Ann.

I've never read one thing about this problem and I'm a fairly sophisticated woman. P.S. The last evening my husband and 1 spent together I heard him telling our teenage son that he should always take responsibility for his sexual partner. I felt like screaming, "Too bad you don't practice what you preach!" I'd appreciate it if you gave no clue as to where this letter is from. I have enough trouble right now.

Anonymous Please Dear Anonymous: All warts are caused by a virus, but genital warts are completely different from the warts that people see on hands and faces.

Before the wedding, his family and mine got together and decided to go half and half on all the wedding expenses. Joe's parents put down $1,000 for the reception and agreed to reimburse my parents for 50 percent of whatever else was spent.

Weeks went by and my folks never mentioned anything about being reimbursed, which 1 thought was odd. So yesterday I asked Mom if Joe's folks ever paid their share of the wedding expenses. She hemmed and hawed and finally I dragged it out of her. They were sent the bill in September but never did anything about it. I asked Mom how much they owed.

She said, "$1,600." Both Joe's folks and mine are working-class people, but mine live conservatively while his spend every dime and then some. I don't think this is fair but I am up a tree as to what to do. Joe and I have some money in a joint savings account and I could repay my folks (which I think I should), but Joe would notice the withdrawal and I would have to explain. Texas Headache Dear Texas: Better a headache than a heartache. Headaches don't last as long.
