---------------------------

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.
