DEAR ABBY: A couple of women moved in across the hall from
me. One is a middle-aged gym teacher and the other is a social worker in
her mid-twenties. These two women go everywhere together and I've never
seen a man go into their apartment or come out. Do you think they could
be Lebanese?
CURIOUS
DEAR ABBY: I've been married for six years and have
five kids. No twins. My husband still wants to have sex every night and
sometimes in the morning too. I told him he should get himself a hobby,
and he says that is his hobby.
....I have a man I never could trust. Why, he cheats so much I'm not
even sure this baby I'm carrying is his.
....I am a twenty-three-year-old liberated woman who has been on the
pill for two years. It's getting expensive and I think my boyfriend
should share half the cost, but I don't know him well enough to discuss
money with him.
....I suspected that my husband had been fooling around, and when I
confronted him with the evidence he denied everything and said it would
never happen again.
....Will you please rush me the name of a reliable illegitimate doctor?
....Our son writes that he is taking Judo. Why would a boy who was
raised in a good Christian home turn against his own?
....I joined the Navy to see the world. I've seen it. Now how do I get
out?
....My forty-year-old son has been paying a psychiatrist $50 an hour
every week for two-and-a-half years. He must be crazy.
....I was married to Bill for three months and I didn't know he drank
until one night he came home sober.
....Do you think it would be all right if I gave my doctor a little
gift? I tried for years to get pregnant and couldn't and he finally did
it.
My mother is mean and short-tempered. I think she is going through her
mental pause.
I met this nice guy who was in the service. He's the chief petting
officer.
.... Then you told some woman whose husband had lost all interest in sex
to send him to a doctor. Well, my husband lost all interest in sex years
ago and he is a doctor.
....This is the second marriage for both of us. And when my husband said
"I Will" he knew damn well he couldn't.
DEAR ABBY: I've been going steady with this man for six
years. We see each other every night. He says he loves me, and I know I
love him, but he never mentions marriage. Do you think he's going out
with me just for what he can get?
GERTIE
DEAR GERTIE:
I don't know. What's he getting?
DEAR ABBY: My husband hates to spend money! I cut my
own hair and make my own clothes, and I have to account for every nickel
I spend. Meanwhile he has a stock of savings bonds put away that would
choke a cow. How do I get some money out of him before we are both
called to our final judgment? He says he's saving for a rainy day.
FORTY YEARS HITCHED
DEAR HITCHED:
Tell him it's raining!
DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend is going to be twenty years old
next month. I'd like to give him something nice for his birthday. What
do you think he'd like?
CAROL
DEAR CAROL:
Never mind what he'd like. Give him a tie.
DEAR ABBY: Are birth control pills deductible?
KAY
DEAR KAY:
Only if they don't work.
DEAR ABBY: Our son was married in January. Five months
later his wife had a ten-pound baby girl. They said the baby was
premature. Tell me, can a baby this big be that early?
WONDERING
DEAR WONDERING:
The baby was on time, the wedding was
late. Forget it.
DEAR ABBY: Do you think about dying much?
CURIOUS
DEAR CURIOUS:
No, it's the last thing I want to do.
DEAR ABBY: Is it possible for a man to be in love with
two women at the same time?
JAKE
DEAR JAKE:
Yes, and also hazardous.
DEAR ABBY: I know boys will be boys, but my 'boy' is
seventy-three and he's still chasing women. Any suggestions?
ANNIE
DEAR ANNIE:
Don't worry. My dog has been chasing cars for
years, but if he ever caught one, he wouldn't know what to do with it.
DEAR ABBY: I have always wanted to have my family
history traced, but I can't afford to spend a lot of money to do it. Any
suggestions?
SAM IN CAL.
DEAR SAM:
Yes. Run for public office.
DEAR ABBY: What inspires you most to write?
TED
DEAR TED:
The Bureau of Internal Revenue.
DEAR ABBY: When you are being introduced, is it all
right to say, "I've heard a lot about you"?
RITA
DEAR RITA:
It depends on what you've heard.
DEAR ABBY: I am forty-four years old and I would like
to meet a man my age with no bad habits.
ROSE
DEAR ROSE:
So would I.
DEAR ABBY: What's the difference between a wife and a
mistress?
BESS
DEAR BESS:
Night and day.
