Speed Bump by Dave Coverly
You're a plugger if you wove a turtleneck in
the ’<oOs and 70s, but can’t stand it if your
T-shirt is on backwards in your 60s and 70s.

Stranger s abrupt revelation
about Dad rocks womans world
DEAR ABBY: I had pret
ty much an ideal childhood.
My parents have never had
issues that I ever saw. We
went to church every Sunday,
gathered with family often,
etc. I’m now grown, and my
parents are in their mid-80s.
Out of the blue, I got a
message on social media
from a woman who says
she’s my father’s daughter
from when he was 17 years
old, before he met my mom.
She found out through DNA
testing. She is very nice
about whether I tell my par
ents about her. Their health is
beginning to deteriorate, and
I don’t want to stress them
more than they can handle.
At the same time, I don’t
know if it is right for me to
withhold this information
from my dad. I feel so alone
in making this choice, so
please give me any advice.
-SECRET-HOLDER IN
GEORGIA
DEAR SECRET-
HOLDER: Your father may
be unaware that he fathered a
child at 17. (Back then, an
out-of-wedlock pregnancy
was sometimes kept secret
and the baby placed for
adoption.) He should be
given the information pri
vately so he can decide if he
would like to meet his
daughter and whether, at this
late date, your mother needs
to know.
DEAR ABBY: My fian
cee and I began dating 2 1/2
years ago. We are in our late
50s. We moved in together
four months ago and took out
an equity loan for improve
ments on the house. Until we
moved in, we were planning
our iuture together, traveling
and having fun. Once we
moved in, however, every
thing changed.
Two months later, she
came to me saying “some
thing is not right.” She says
she loves me, she’s attracted
to me and doesn’t want me to
leave. She says I treat her like
she’s never been treated
before, and I’m so good to
her (her words). But I feel
like I have been put into the
friend zone. This usually
happens after a couple of

dates, not years. It’s tearing
her up because she doesn’t
want to feel this way, and it
has me stumped about how
to handle it. Is it cold feet? —
BAD CHANGE IN NEW
YORK
DEAR BAD CHANGE: I
don’t know, you don’t know
and it is possible that SHE
can’t identify what’s
“wrong” either. Do not pro
crastinate. Get a referral to a
licensed marriage and family
therapist for pre-marital
counseling. If the two of you
do this, whatever is bothering
her will be revealed. If she
refuses to go, seek counsel
ing without her. (I hope there
is no prepayment penalty on
that loan.)
DEAR ABBY: I am a
friendly person who can get
along with most everyone. I
am petite in height — 4-foot-
8, to be exact. Recently,
while my husband and I
were at a social gathering,
one of the male guests
approached me and com
mented, “Who let a child in
here?” I was not only hurt,
but also offended at his rude
ness. My husband is much
taller than I am, and he has
never mistaken me for a
child. I’m tired of being
judged for my height. Any
thoughts? — TESTY BUT A
TRUE ADULT
DEAR TINY: Was the
guest who said it drunk? I
can’t otherwise account for
his egregious breach of eti
quette in making a comment
about the appearance of
another guest at the gather
ing. I hope you ignore his
tasteless comment. (What a
nitwit.)
