I was just reading around the net and clicking links to other pages and the so on and so on, and ended up on a few pages I've never been too before. It actually was some Dear Abbey stuff, and then stuff from similar folks, all kinds of questions people ask, from the absurd, to the funny, to the difficult.
Funny few like a guy concerned that his new wife of a few months does most things while naked. (why he's concerned is so beyond me!). Her advice in return was to put on an apron while making the bacon! Another one wrote in about the boys will be boys phrase. And said that "her boy" is still chasing girls at 73 years old, and asks for suggestions. Abbey tell her not to worry, as she has a dog that has been chasing cars for years! And that even if he caught one he wouldn't have a clue what to do with it.
One was looking for advice on how to get a full history of tracing of his family. They couldn't afford it though and asked if she knew how to help. She told him to run for public office! One guy wrote in and said he is in the Navy and that he joined in order to see the world. He said he saw it all now and wonders how he can get out? She told him to go to a superior officer and say "I'm gay"
Some of these were funny from over the years and I see people write in and ask some seriously weird or personal questions and expect a total stranger to have all the answers. :) A lot of people oddly enough wrote in asking all kinds of questions about gay folks, and how to handle their friends or family or children. It got me wondering about it...
What would YOU do if your child came home one day and said they were gay? Or said they were bisexual? Or came out as transgender? And the same scenario, whether a child, or a family member, what would you do in such a case? How would you handle it?
Btw, reading so many things from her over the years, I can say that Abbey rocks! Our Abbey too! :)
