Dear Abby: Bye Bye

Dear Abby:  I heard that you died last week, is this true?      -P.D. in Dallas, Texas

Dear P.D.: __________________ .

Dear Abby: Our son married a girl when he was in the service. They were married in February and she had an 8 1/2-pound baby girl in August. She said the baby was premature. Can an 8 1/2-pound baby be this premature? — Wanting to Know

Dear Wanting: The baby was on time. The wedding was late. Forget it.




Dear Abby: I have always wanted to have my family history traced, but I can’t afford to spend a lot of money to do it. Have you any suggestions? — M. J. B. in Oakland, Calif.

Dear M. J. B.: Yes. Run for a public office.

I highly recommend this compilation of her work; she even has a chapter devoted to the complaints she received about snoring spouses (which apparently amounted to many thousands of letters).
