I am known as a friendly, outgoing guy who gets along with girls. My problem is, I used to be one of the biggest jerks who ever was. I was involved in fighting and other things I won't go into. But I turned my life around. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/dearabby/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucda/20091106/lf_ucda/womanobjectstogivingcellphonenumbertoherboss ucda/20091106/womanobjectstogivingcellphonenumbertoherboss Dear Abby entertainment Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:16:26 GMT Dear Abby - DEAR ABBY: My boss wants my cell phone number for "work purposes." He has trouble with limits, and I am reluctant to give it to him. I don't want to receive text messages, unsolicited calls or contact outside of work. My private life is just that -- private. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/dearabby/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucda/20091105/lf_ucda/friendinneedisrepaidwithbitterdisappointment ucda/20091105/friendinneedisrepaidwithbitterdisappointment Dear Abby entertainment Thu, 05 Nov 2009 07:16:28 GMT Dear Abby - DEAR ABBY: Please print this for me on behalf of myself and all the other well-intentioned folks out there who have lent money to others. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/dearabby/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucda/20091104/lf_ucda/manwrappedupingirlfriendignoreshisvisitinggrandpa ucda/20091104/manwrappedupingirlfriendignoreshisvisitinggrandpa Dear Abby entertainment Wed, 04 Nov 2009 07:16:31 GMT Dear Abby - DEAR ABBY: My wife and I were visiting our children and grandson, "Rhett," age 24. Rhett is a college student who lives at home. He had his girlfriend, "Peggy," who lives in another town, at the house for the weekend. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/dearabby/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucda/20091103/lf_ucda/displaysofaffectionbetweenparentschildrenwinpraise ucda/20091103/displaysofaffectionbetweenparentschildrenwinpraise Dear Abby entertainment Tue, 03 Nov 2009 07:16:18 GMT Dear Abby - DEAR ABBY: Thank you for your response to "Alarmed in Apple Valley" (Aug. 28), who was concerned because her teenage nephew shows so much affection toward his mother. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/dearabby/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucda/20091102/lf_ucda/momlongstohaveemptynestalltoherselfagain ucda/20091102/momlongstohaveemptynestalltoherselfagain Dear Abby entertainment Mon, 02 Nov 2009 07:16:17 GMT Dear Abby - DEAR ABBY: I have a 19-year-old daughter, "Caitlin," whom I love very much.

I use it only when I truly mean it. My husband's family, however, bandies it about as a common word. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/dearabby/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucda/20091031/lf_ucda/dontforgetthosebatterieswhenfallingbacktomorrow ucda/20091031/dontforgetthosebatterieswhenfallingbacktomorrow Dear Abby entertainment Sat, 31 Oct 2009 06:16:29 GMT Dear Abby - DEAR ABBY: As a fire officer, I have seen far too many families fall victim to accidental home fires. It is devastating to find out that a life could have been saved if someone had only taken that simple step of replacing a dead battery in a smoke alarm. Nearly 96 percent of American homes have at least one smoke alarm. But did you know that 19 percent of American homes lack a working smoke alarm because the batteries are missing or dead? http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/dearabby/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucda/20091030/lf_ucda/multitaskingdaughterisdrivingtowarddisaster ucda/20091030/multitaskingdaughterisdrivingtowarddisaster Dear Abby entertainment Fri, 30 Oct 2009 06:16:28 GMT Dear Abby - DEAR ABBY: My daughter insists that she's a "multitasker" -- too busy to telephone or text except when she's driving. It scares me to be in the passenger seat while she's talking on the phone or picking up toys the baby has dropped from his car seat. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/dearabby/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucda/20091029/lf_ucda/specialneedschildrenrequirespecialparents ucda/20091029/specialneedschildrenrequirespecialparents Dear Abby entertainment Thu, 29 Oct 2009 06:16:26 GMT Dear Abby - DEAR ABBY: On Aug. 10 you printed a letter from an aunt who was upset because her sister, the mother of a child with autism, doesn't have time to join in fundraising with her and the rest of the family. While I commend the writer and her family for raising money for autism research, that woman needs to cut her sister some slack. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/dearabby/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucda/20091028/lf_ucda/womanspredatorybossiseagertoscoreagain ucda/20091028/womanspredatorybossiseagertoscoreagain Dear Abby entertainment Wed, 28 Oct 2009 06:16:32 GMT Dear Abby - DEAR ABBY: I attended a business-related function with my boss and some co-workers. I had way too much to drink and ended up having sex with my boss. (He offered me a ride to my car and took advantage of me.) If I had been sober, it would never have happened. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/dearabby/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucda/20091027/lf_ucda/manofherdreamsneedswakeupcallonmanners ucda/20091027/manofherdreamsneedswakeupcallonmanners Dear Abby entertainment Tue, 27 Oct 2009 06:16:17 GMT Dear Abby - DEAR ABBY: I'm engaged to the man of my dreams.

When our son, "Adam," misbehaves, my husband blames me.

Those rules were never bent regardless of what the game was or who we played with. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/dearabby/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucda/20091023/lf_ucda/wifewhoslimmeddownispumpinguphersociallife ucda/20091023/wifewhoslimmeddownispumpinguphersociallife Dear Abby entertainment Fri, 23 Oct 2009 06:16:26 GMT Dear Abby - DEAR ABBY: My wife, "Laura," and I have been married 15 years.

I'm a 21-year-old college student who has also struggled with choosing to be sober amidst the majority of my drunken peers. Most people my age drink only to get drunk and appear to be unable to have fun without the aid of alcohol. Every activity must be performed under the influence. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/dearabby/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucda/20091019/lf_ucda/familysrecordedhistoryisnowamatterofmemory ucda/20091019/familysrecordedhistoryisnowamatterofmemory Dear Abby entertainment Mon, 19 Oct 2009 06:16:22 GMT Dear Abby - DEAR ABBY: When our first grandchild was born, my son, "Vic," and his wife bought the first video camera in the family. I often asked them to bring it to family get-togethers, and to help out, I purchased dozens of long-running, high-quality tapes.
