DEAR READERS: Sun Spots does not publish letters that simply point out how angry the writer is at a product, person or business. However, sometimes these letters contain information worth sharing. Mac in Lewiston wrote to say that he had ordered a set of compression socks from an out-of-state advertisement. The socks fell apart and after returning them for a larger pair of socks, he never received the larger socks.
 
The point of his letter reminds Sun Spots that it is best to buy local. At most pharmacies you can go in and talk to a pharmacist about the products carried in the store and ask questions that he/she can answer. Pharmacists are there to help you find the product you need and they will want to know if their products fall apart upon first use. There are many pharmacies in the Lewiston-Auburn area including Bedard Pharmacy 207-786-0138 and Medicine Shoppe 207-783-3539. Many of the chain stories have pharmacies. There should be a pharmacy near you so that you don’t have to order health products sight unseen.
 
DEAR SUN SPOTS: Looking for the person or persons who requested yarn that they will use to knit blankets for the animals at the shelter. I have some to give away. Thanks. — Brenda at beret007@yahoo.com or 207-440-4499.
 
ANSWER: The phone number published two years ago is not in service. You can call the shelter directly and ask them for contact information of their knitters at Greater Androscoggin Humane Society, 207-783-2311.
