Dear Abby
DEAR ABBY: My aunt frequently cuts people out of her life for perceived slights – small, large and imagined. A few years ago, she got into a fight with my dad (her brother). Somehow, the rest of my family got cut out, too. Guilt by association, I guess.
Dear Abby
DEAR ABBY: During my entire 40-year marriage, I have wondered if my husband is bisexual. He met his friend “Ernie” around the same time he met me. My husband has always had female friends as well as Ernie. When he came home late, I’d accuse him of having affairs with his female coworkers.
I’ve lived in San Marcos for 44 years and have always put trash and recycling containers out at curbside between 5 and 7 o’clock p.m. Now I’ve learned that there’s a city ordinance that says if I put my containers out before 9 p.m. I’ll be subjected to a $175.00 fine! I’m 83 years old and like many other elderly men and women residents of the city, we don’t need to be stumbling around after dark trying to roll our containers out to the curb. Most of us no longer get up at the crack of dawn in order to beat the trash trucks. This city ordinance needs to be changed to a more reasonable time and I would hope that your readers would call City Hall and complain about this ordinance.
