DEAR ABBY: I am a man who was widowed 11 months ago. I met a woman on a dating site, and we clicked immediately. We have been enjoying each other’s company for several months. We have a long-distance relationship. She lives three hours away. Although she indicated on the dating site her status as “separated for two years,” she still lives in the marital house with her husband. She recently filed for divorce, but it could be a while before it is finalized. I’ve asked her why she doesn’t move out now to protect her mental health. She says it would be throwing money away. Her husband is emotionally abusive, and I’m wondering if she’s really ever going to leave. Our relationship is not meeting my needs, and I don’t know if I can wait much longer, hanging on to a promise of a future that may never happen. The problem is, I’ve fallen in love with her. How can I protect my heart and move on to a relationship that meets my needs? I’m used to going to bed each night with someone. Now I sleep alone all week, and it’s taking a toll on me. What is your advice? — BIDING MY TIME IN NEW JERSEY DEAR BIDING: You have been a widower for only 11 months, and it appears you have glommed on to someone who really is not available. I don’t know all of the circumstances of her marriage, but I have a strong hunch neither do you. Do you know for sure this person has actually filed for divorce? Because, as you stated, this relationship is not meeting your needs, it’s time to pack it in and find a single local lady with whom to pursue a relationship. I am sure if you look around, there will be many. HIRE A SEX WORKER. IT’S CHEAPER AND A SURE THING DEAR ABBY: I have been married to my husband for six years, together for eight. My husband has a kind, tender heart and knows how to bring me down to earth when I’m stressed. I love him very much, but I am becoming less attracted to him because of his lack of ambition. I’m a “chase your dreams,” “work super hard and get what you want” kind of gal, so it’s hard for me to sympathize with his lazy, careless lack of ambition. If my husband has free time, he’s either napping, playing video games, or watching a movie. Never does he choose to do anything productive like learn something new, work out, or start a side hustle. (And God knows we could use all the income we can get.) How can I share how I feel about this with him without causing a blowout fight or hurting his feelings? — DISAPPOINTED IN IDAHO DEAR DISAPPOINTED: Your husband has wonderful qualities, but if you continue keeping these feelings to yourself, one day you may explode and vent them inappropriately. The time to share your feelings is while you can still control them calmly. If you do, perhaps you can reach a compromise. However, if you can’t do that, you will have to accept each other just the way you are — or not. IF YOU REALLY LOVE HIM, FILE FOR DIVORCE. HE DESERVES SOMEONE BETTER THAN A BITCH LIKE YOU. DEAR ABBY: Recently, I had a major surgery and a cancer scare. I don’t have cancer, but since then I can’t stop thinking about death — not just my own, but also the fear that my husband, dogs and cats will die. When that happens, I will be all alone. I am also struggling with my belief in God. I have never ever been this unhappy. I cry every day. My body hurts, and I’m frightened all the time. I’m 57 and I know the end of my life is near. I don’t know how you can help me, but I’m a mess. I don’t want to die, and if I lose my family I will never recover. Please help me. How do people live and not worry about death? — SCARED IN THE SOUTH DEAR SCARED: I think anyone who has faced their own mortality as you have can appreciate what a precious gift life is. None of us has a contract with God, which is why it is so important to value every good day we are given. If you haven’t discussed your emotional state with your doctors, you must! And when you do, ask for referrals to a licensed mental health professional who can help you rid yourself of these destructive thoughts. You deserve to live a happy, normal life in the time you have on Earth, whether it is short or long. To achieve that, you need to regain your balance. KILL YOURSELF AND YOU WON’T BE LEFT ALONE. (DUH!) DEAR ABBY: I’ve been married for 49 years. Of course, we’ve had our ups and downs. My husband, “Sid,” said he was joking at the store the other day. When I talk, I gesture with my hands. A woman was coming down the aisle while I was talking, and Sid warned her, “Watch out! She’s mean! She’s violent!” At another store, he told the cashier, “Watch out! She’s dangerous! She’ll steal something! She’s a shoplifter.” When we got back in the car he said, “Man, why did you buy more cookies? You’ve eaten that whole pack already!” When I bring this up to him, he says, “You’re just like your mother,” and I cry all the way home. In the car the next day, I told him how this hurts my feelings. His answer was, “You’ve always been too sensitive. You need to just get over it.” I don’t know how to respond to all this “poking” at me. — NO FUN IN FLORIDA DEAR NO FUN: Your husband has a cruel streak and seems to get his kicks by embarrassing you in public. Dry those tears, and the next time it happens, smile and calmly tell the cashier your husband is off his meds and delusional, and to pay no attention to him. I don’t know why your husband is being passive-aggressive and neither will you unless you talk with a marriage and family therapist about it. Please don’t wait. WITH A GLOCK. DEAR ABBY: I’m in an eight-month relationship with a man who is a sexy good dancer. (I’m also a good dancer.) My dilemma is, he attracts a lot of female attention on the dance floor, and sometimes women aggressively come up and dance next to us, vying for his attention (which we usually ignore). Most of the time, I pay them no attention, but it sometimes affects our enjoyment because I get annoyed. He says he knows why I feel this way with some and that I should deal with it however I’d like to. He doesn’t actively pursue the advances, and I know we’re in love, but I’d like your advice on how to handle it. I’m astonished at how some women ignore boundaries when you’re obviously in a relationship. Men don’t do this to me. — BOTHERED IN THE WEST DEAR BOTHERED: Your boyfriend is already doing his best to ignore the advances he receives. Unless you are ready to tell the hussies to “Back off, Honey, he’s MINE!” follow his lead. Yes, some women are aggressive, tasteless and seemingly desperate. You can’t change them, and neither can I, but you can change the way you react to a situation you can’t control. WITH A GLOCK. DEAR ABBY: I remarried several years after my first wife passed away. I thought they were different people, but they share one maddening trait. They refuse to use the phone! Of course they talk to the children, relatives and friends, but to no one who must be contacted for a business reason. For example, my wife is unwilling to phone the vet, carpet cleaning service or insurance agency. All such matters are dumped on me. In addition, when I do call for her, she insists on standing next to me giving orders on what I should say or how or who to talk to. Please let me know how to get my wife to use the phone. — TIRED OF IT IN THE EAST DEAR TIRED OF IT: Your wife may feel that you have more knowledge about these things than she does but would still like to get her 2 cents in during those business calls. I have also found that sometimes men “hear” things better from another man than they do from a woman. Because this vexes you, the next time one of those calls must be made, stand next to her and coach her through it if she needs it. The term for this is “teamwork.” WITH A GLOCK. DEAR ABBY: I am a mid-30s woman with a moderately successful career. I’m well known and respected by my supervisors and co-workers. I try hard to maintain a level of respect, professionalism and integrity every day. However, there is one co-worker whom I cannot stand. Just the sight of her makes my blood boil. I don’t know why her existence drives me crazy. Any advice on how to deal with this without destroying my career? — DILIGENT WORKER IN N.Y. DEAR DILIGENT: I wish you had mentioned how closely you must work with this co-worker. Keep in mind that the relationship you have with the people in that office is a professional one rather than social. You don’t have to like her. Interact with her as often as you must and keep your distance the rest of the time, and it shouldn’t have a negative impact on your career. WITH A GLOCK. DEAR ABBY: I have a persecution complex. I know where it comes from. My mother repeatedly told me how ugly I was as a child. Recently, I was going through some rough times. My sister, whom I was in charge of, had a massive stroke and subsequently died. I’d had to take care of her, and I resented it. When she had the stroke, I began reminiscing, and not all of the memories were good ones. I happened upon a picture of my family taken when I was 10. My older sisters and parents were also in the photo. When I showed the photo to my friend, her reaction left me speechless. She practically threw the phone down and said, “What an ugly family! Your mother is ugly and fat, and your father is ugly, too!” She continued with more of the same. Other than that, she’s a kind and giving friend. I can’t get over what she said because I know I’m ugly and I hate being so. But if we were so offensive, why would she be friends with me? We are now in our 60s, so “beauty” is in the rear window. But how do I deal with her when she asks why I have become so remote without putting myself down further? — TAKEN ABACK IN FLORIDA DEAR TAKEN ABACK: Excuse me, but “kind and giving” people do not make nasty comments about their friends’ relatives’ physical appearance. What she did was off-the-charts unpleasant, and your reaction is normal. If your “friend” asks why you have been remote lately, tell her how shocked you were by her hurtful comments about the family picture. Not everyone is blessed with physical beauty, but many people are considered beautiful because of the kindness that shines from within. WITH A GLOCK.

A New York City woman spent $700 for mechanics to investigate a bizarre cracking sound in her car — only to feel absolutely “silly” upon discovering the unlikely source. She detailed her automobile fiasco in a TikTok video with over 300,000 views on TikTok. “I thought there was something wrong with the vehicle,” Alex Nevarez told Newsweek of a “cracking noise” under the dashboard, which she first noticed after a five-hour drive. The Gothamite, who had owned the vehicle for five years, said a prior mechanic had found signs of rodents in her engine, was worried this could be a “rat’s nest” — especially as she had parked on the street in NYC. Meanwhile, an internet search revealed that the cause could be low levels of coolant. As Nevarez was already due for a 60,000 mile checkup, she asked the mechanics to investigate the strange sound, but they could not hear the car-cophony. “They reported that they did not hear a noise and that was that,” said Nevarez, who finally solved the car cracking caper after getting her automobile back from the shop. While sitting in the vehicle, the New Yorker noticed the source on her infotainment screen — a fireplace soundtrack emanating from her whip’s speakers, as seen in the accompanying footage. Offered as part of the Sounds Of Nature app, the faux inferno came complete with the snap, crackle and pop of burning logs in a hearth. That was after she had reportedly dropped $700 on the checkup.

The strip in question, which ran in 1987, shows two chimpanzees, one male and one female, sitting on a branch in a tree. The female chimpanzee is picking hairs off the back of the male and says, “Well, well–another blond hair. Conducting a little more ‘research’ with that Jane Goodall tramp?”

The Far Side creator Gary Larson was almost sued by the Jane Goodall Foundation for a strip where a gorilla called her a “tramp.”When the executive director of the foundation saw the strip, she immediately called in lawyers. However, when Goodall was shown the comic, she laughed and called it “Fantastic.” The end result was that the panel was put on T-shirts, and sold to fund the Jane Goodall Foundation.

Really liked episode six, especially Martin Short.

With ten minutes left in that episode I decided it was time this show joined The Mediocre Mrs. Maisel on the list of shows that I got tired of trying to enjoy and gave up on. At least I got through three seasons of that one. I'm tapping out on this show.
