Jumbles: GRUNT BASIS EFFECT DAINTY
Answer: The home run didn’t surprise the hitter one
bit. He did it without — BATTING AN EYE
Yesterday’s
By Jim Davis PICKLES
By Brian Crane
Dear Abby I By Jeanne Phillips
Dear Abby: I’m a happily married woman
in my 30s. Although we don’t have children
yet, many of our friends do. Some of them
have boys who are approaching or are already
in their early teens.
I’m embarrassed to even ask, but what are
the best ways to avoid or immediately stop un-
wanted just-reaching-puberty attention from
young boys?
I am modest in my attire, I don’t interact
more than I need to with them and I would nev-
er want to harm a child.
Dear Abby: My sister-in-law visits from
out of state each year and stays with us for
about a week.
When she’s here she invites her friends to
our house and entertains them without asking
us if we mind.
I feel it’s extremely rude, but my husband
says we need to “put up and shut up” because
she’s family. I feel she could easily go to their
homes to visit instead of inviting everyone
here.
Dear Abby: I’m 22 and I’m sick and tired of
letting myself get caught up with men who are
already in a relationship, “halfway” single, or
claim to just occupy the same house as their
ex.
I know some people may say I don’t know
what a real relationship is, or I should be enjoy-
ing my 20s instead of worrying about a serious
relationship, but I have an old soul. I know I’m
different from most people my age.
Could I be attracting the wrong men, or
could it be my preferences in men? How can I
go about attracting the right young man who
wants the same things I do and isn’t already
tied to someone?
Is my husband correct? Am I wrong think-
ing she’s being inappropriate as a houseguest?
Confused Host in the East
Dear Confused: As your houseguest,
your sister-in-law should have been asking you
and your husband whether you minded having
her friends over during her visit.
She should also have bought food and bev-
erages to accommodate them, and a house
gift for the two of you.
However, because she has been getting
away with it for years, do not expect her to
change.
The time to have spoken up was the first
time she did it.
But the looks and actions I get from some
of them have my stomach churning. I need to
know how to appropriately shut it down.
My husband just chuckles and shrugs his
shoulders, saying, “They just want to talk to
girls.” I feel sick. Please help.
Wants My Own Man
Dear Wants Your Own Man: Where are
you meeting the men you mentioned in your
letter?
Unwanted Attention
Dear Unwanted Attention: Unless you
have left something out of your letter, what
the boys are doing is normal adolescent boy
behavior.
However, because you feel some of them
have crossed the line, you should tell their par-
ents.
If it’s happening in bars and clubs, it’s time
to change venues. As my dear departed grand-
father used to say, “You won’t catch trout in a
herring barrel.”
