          IJMC - Maybe Dear Abby Isn't As Boring As I Thought

Well, my system is crashing again so I'm going to leave this at what I've 
typed already so that I can get today's post out.                   -dave






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

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 us. And when my husband said "I Will" he 
knew very 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.
