Dear Abby
Supposedly true letters to Dear Abby:
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 or leave their apartment. Do you think they could be Lebanese?
Dear Abby,
What can I do about all the Sex, Nudity, Fowl Language and Violence on my VCR?
Dear Abby,
I have a man I can’t trust. He cheats so much, I’m not even sure the baby I’m carrying is his.
Dear Abby,
I am a twenty-three year old liberated woman who has been on the pill for two years. It’s getting expensive a! nd I thi nk my boyfriend should share half the cost, but I don’t know him well enough to discuss money with him.
Dear Abby,
I’ve suspected that my husband has been fooling around, and when confronted with the evidence, he denied everything and said it would never happen again.
Dear Abby,
Our son writes that he is taking Judo. Why would a boy who was raised in a good Christian home turn against his own?
Dear Abby,
I joined the Navy to see the world. I’ve seen it. Now how do I get out?
Dear Abby,
My forty year old son has been paying a psychiatrist $50.00 an hour every week for two and a half y! ears. &n bsp;He must be crazy.
Dear Abby,
I was married to Bill for three months and I didn’t know he drank until one night he came home sober.
Dear Abby,
My mother is mean and short tempered I think she is going through mental pause.
Dear Abby,
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 and he is a doctor. Now what do I do?
Thanks Gene
The next generation will be called the ‘One-ders’
A leading Australian website has tried to solve the problem of what to call the next decade – by holding a competition to name it.
The winning choice of the One-ders earned Adam Vujic a prize of 2,010 Australian dollars ($1,866; £1,122).
More obvious choices such as Tennies, Tenties or Teenies were rejected because “they were so popular they had to be discounted”.
The website said the winning name expressed “bright-eyed optimism”.
“We needed something that communicated a feeling, not just denoted a number,” said the website.
But one unimpressed contributor, who gave his name as Kevin Longfellow, asked: “Is this decision binding on the whole world?”
Observers say the debate over what to call the 2010s mirrors problems with the current decade, which has never had a universally accepted name.
Thanks Janet
