But when we go to the mall or stop for lunch and she hears a song she likes, she'll start singing to it. And if we're standing up, she even dances to it a little. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/dearabby/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucda/20091120/lf_ucda/womanssizeisnodeterrentinhersearchforlastinglove ucda/20091120/womanssizeisnodeterrentinhersearchforlastinglove Dear Abby entertainment Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:16:27 GMT Dear Abby - DEAR ABBY: I'm 32 and a "large girl." I am also intelligent, witty and fun to be around. I make friends wherever I go. The problem is my mother -- who is also big -- keeps telling me that heavy women are not desirable and we must "settle" when it comes to choosing a mate. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/dearabby/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucda/20091119/lf_ucda/guiltmarscomfortcouplefindsineachothersarms ucda/20091119/guiltmarscomfortcouplefindsineachothersarms Dear Abby entertainment Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:16:16 GMT Dear Abby - DEAR ABBY: Is there anything wrong with having a lover solely for the purpose of sex? He is grieving for his late wife (my best friend), and I am separated from my husband. We're both lonely and have supported each other through our pain. A few weeks ago we decided to become lovers. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/dearabby/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucda/20091118/lf_ucda/artofletterwritingsuffersneglectinageoftheinternet ucda/20091118/artofletterwritingsuffersneglectinageoftheinternet Dear Abby entertainment Wed, 18 Nov 2009 07:16:15 GMT Dear Abby - DEAR ABBY: Please don't think I'm stupid for asking this, but I need some help. The practice of letter-writing appears to be a dying form because of e-mail and texting -- which I'm good at.

I pulled off the interstate at a neighborhood exit and asked a man parked at the curb for directions. He was Hispanic, and there was a bit of a language barrier, but he and his sister offered to lead me there. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/dearabby/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucda/20091114/lf_ucda/teenlooksforammunitioninbattlewithpeerpressure ucda/20091114/teenlooksforammunitioninbattlewithpeerpressure Dear Abby entertainment Sat, 14 Nov 2009 07:16:27 GMT Dear Abby - DEAR ABBY: I'm a 14-year-old boy.
