  1. Dear Abby: I overheard my adult child speak to his significant other in a way I have heard only one other time. My child was not raised that way. My spouse and our children lived in what I thought was a traditional upbringing. I was shocked the first time and calmly expressed that speaking to another person with those words was disrespectful. I chalked it up to being young and not being mindful of other people’s feelings. Once again, although I was not attempting to eavesdrop, I heard the same language. I expressed that I was disappointed, embarrassed and ashamed of that language directed at another person. I suggested therapy to deal with this, but it scares me to think I don’t know my own child and they are capable of such behavior. Is it possible I raised a Jekyll and Hyde or a young adult with no sense of pride or manners? — Not My Child Dear Not My Child: It is possible that you raised an adult child who has trouble controlling their temper and forgets that vulgarity and disrespect lessen the target’s respect for the invective-thrower. Therapy might help if your child is open to it, but having suggested it, the time has come for you to step out of this unfortunate scenario. (The exception would be if you are afraid the verbal abuse could escalate.) WHAT THE @%! IS YOUR PROBLEM, YOU *@%!ING EAVESDROPPING &#$!%? YOU’RE THE ONE WHO NEEDS MOTHER@%!ING THERAPY.
  2. Yes, I know. They were at Adam's final appearance, and you have his upcoming album on pre-order. You're a Cardinals fan. We know.
  3. Co-creator of ‘H.R. Pufnstuf’ and ‘Land of the Lost,' dead at 86
  4. Oh, yeah... I always forget Kevin Love's uncle was in a band. Didn't the guy Tony Danza help to cuckold occasionally jam with them onstage?
  5. I liked it better when The Osmond Brothers did the same thing.
  6. Disgraced NY1 weatherman with released nudes is suffering 'mentally,' 'financially'
  7. You are BOTH right. Bravo is the place for mediocre athletes who compete as women. Followed by a reunion hosted by Andy Cohen.
  8. At the risk of sounding like your Mother... you never call, you never write, you never send wildly extravagant gifts...
  9. Now what fun would that be?
  10. Uh-oh! Is Bradley in trouble? Robbery suspect’s colorful underwear helps police arrest him NEW YORK (AP) — A pair of multicolored briefs peeking out above a robbery suspect’s low-slung trousers helped police arrest him more than a year later. The robbery happened at a tobacco shop in Queens on Sept. 14, 2022. Three masked men got out of a Mazda and entered the store. Two of the men pointed guns at employees and customers while the third emptied the cash register and grabbed merchandise and employees’ cellphones. The robbers fled in the Mazda Surveillance videos that were disseminated through the media (artifical dissemination?) showed the third robber wearing brightly colored briefs with a large letter R in white and the year 1990 in yellow. An anonymous tipster passed along the Instagram handle of the suspect with the colorful underwear, the complaint said. The caller also told police that the robbers had tried to sell their stolen merchandise at another Queens location. Detectives reviewed video footage from the sale location and spotted the man with the colorful underwear, now easily identifiable because he was no longer wearing a mask showing a massive bulge. Police identified the suspect based on his Instagram account, the video from the merchandise sale spot and photos from prior arrests, according to the complaint. The 30-year-old suspect was arrested Wednesday morning at his home in Queens by members of a New York Police Department-Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms joint task force. He was awaiting arraignment in federal court in Brooklyn, a spokesperson for the U.S. attorney’s office said. An email seeking comment was sent to the suspect’s attorney with the federal public defender’s office. The other two robbery suspects are still at hung large, authorities said.
  11. Dear Abby: I’m 20, and I recently moved into an apartment with my 19-year-old sister. I thought it would be a great idea because we’d get to see each other more often and we’d be more comfortable living together than with strangers. Recently, however, she has gotten a new boyfriend she brings over all the time. I don’t like people. WHO DOES? IN YOUR CASE, I’M SURE THE FEELING’S MUTUAL Having him in my home makes me feel threatened for some reason I can’t figure out, especially since he hasn’t done anything. MAYBE YOU’RE SEVERELY DISTURBED I acknowledge that fact, and I try not to be nasty to him because of it. The problem is, he comes over during the day, and my sister also has him sneak out of his parents’ house at 2 a.m. so he can sleep here with her. This happens almost every night, and I’m usually awake and hear them. I have told my sister I don’t like it and asked her not to do those things when I’m home, but she won’t listen. She gets upset and defensive and tries to take the blame off of herself by saying there’s nothing else they can do since I am always home. I go to work and school most days, but at night there’s nowhere for me to be but in my bed. I’m not sure what to do. I don’t want to put up with this anymore, but I can’t decide if I’m making it worse like she says. I’m thinking about moving out and finding her a new roommate, but I don’t want to offend her because I like being able to see her. What should I do? — Troubled Sister in Idaho Dear Sister: Face it: Your idea of living with your sister was a dud. Your sister is immature and unwilling to compromise A SLUT. If she wants a future with this boyfriend, encouraging him to sneak out of his parents’ home to sleep with her won’t endear her to them when they catch on, which they will eventually SHE SHOULD JUST GET PREGNANT. It should not offend her if you explain calmly that your lifestyles are polar opposites SHE IS A SLUT, so you will be finding another place to live. Offering to help her find another roommate would be generous and should not offend her, but that responsibility should be hers. Dear Abby: My husband never wears his wedding ring. In fact, he wears jewelry only when going out. I’ve brought this to his attention many times over the years. Most recently, I noticed he donned all his “going-out jewelry” with another ring on his right ring finger. It’s as if he consciously chose to wear all the jewelry except the wedding ring. I have noticed this many times and have questioned it. His answer is always, “I can’t wear it with what I do for a living.” Abby, he works in an office by day and drives a boat in his spare time. Please help me clarify this. — Incomprehensible in New Jersey Dear Incomprehensible: I’ll try. If I had to guess, this is happening because your husband doesn’t want to be easily recognized as married REMINDED HE IS MARRIED TO AN INSECURE NAG.
  12. I remember a time when I enjoyed watching a great female athlete compete as a man...
  13. just to be clear-- I said no change in that regard. I still have occasional issues; it just hasn't worsened and can be kept in check with fiber & prudent food choices (and maybe a laxative once a month). At least for me.
  14. It was from 2017 and got his company a fair amount of attention and not just locally. Those are women's size 11 shorts he got at Walmart because he wanted the stars motif. Zach Blenkinsopp Buff & Business Attire THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE: https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/C100/DOD_HC1005686/DOD_HC1005686.mp4
  15. I saw Warren Beatty's big sister at the Palace Theater. I saw Harry Chapin's brother open for Rick Springfield at the Syracuse War Memorial. I saw Waylon & Madame at Westbury Music Fair, opening for Paul Lynde. I think it was the "Rabidly Macho Men Across America" tour. Try not to be too jealous.
  16. Not to you maybe, but had you tried to pick up a young lovely to have a three-way with, it may well have to him.
  17. You were in the paper the other day: DEAR ABBY: I am a fairly laid-back mom of a wonderful 13-year-old daughter. Her friends are nice kids, but some of them dress pretty provocatively. I have seen them wear super-short shorts that are very “cheeky” and tops that really expose their assets. We have been invited to a party at a friend’s home, and my daughter is allowed to bring a friend. The friend she has chosen to invite regularly dresses in very provocative attire, and I would feel more comfortable if I knew she was going to dress “appropriately” by my standards. I don’t know what to do. Should I talk to the parents? (Cringe!) Ask my daughter to tell her friend what the dress code is and to convey “Wear something that doesn’t show your butt cheeks”? Or must I ignore it and hope for the best? — OVEREXPOSED IN WASHINGTON, D.C. DEAR OVEREXPOSED: Many teenage girls let it all hang out in an effort to attract attention. I do not think you should talk to the girl’s mother because I don’t think your comments would be warmly welcomed. Instead, ask your daughter to talk to her friend and suggest that for THIS occasion, it would be better to cover up more than she usually does because the hosts are old-fashioned and can be judgmental — just like you.
  18. Regardless of whichever one you meant, I personally don't think any internal organ is beautiful.
