Lifer wants to
donate kidney
By Abigail Van Buren
© i»n by Ct»c*oo Tribune-N V Newt Synd Inc
DEAR ABBY: I am a 36-year-old man who is in Rutland,
Vt., doing 30 years to life for second degree murder. I killed
a 15 year old girl. No reason. I just went*off my rocker.
Now the problem: I read in your column that a lot of peo
pie need kidneys. I know that kidneys have been trans
planted successfully, and I want you to put me in touch with
someone who needs one so I can donate one of mine. I don’t
mean after I’m dead. I mean right now. I know a person can
live with only one kidney so if I could give one of mine now
maybe I could sleep better.
I realize I can’t bring back that poor little girl whose life
I took, but I could give some other person life. It won’t bal
ance the scales, but it would give some meaning to my life,
which is practically useless now.
This letter was not written in haste. I’ve thought about it
for a long time.
I'm not very religious, but God knows this is a sincere re
quest. Can you help me get it granted, Abby?
GEORGE H.
DEAR GEORGE: I don’t know the laws covering such a
donation, but if you're sincere (and I believe you are) tell
the chaplain of the correctional institution what you’ve told
me, and he will advise you. God bless.
DEAR ABBY: A friend has asked me to play “Dear
Abby" and mediate a fuss between her and her husband,
and I honestly don’t know what to tell her.
It seems that her husband is bugged because she is al
ways doing knitting, needlepoint or some kind of handiwork
when they’re watching TV or just visiting.
He says she has all day to do whatever she wants, and
when he comes home, she should give him her undivided at
tention. He wants her to look at him while they're convers
ing.
She says she can hear every word he says, and she DOES
look at him almost constantly, so he has no legitimate beef.
I can see his point, Abby, but I can also see hers. Do you
think he has the right to ask her to quit doing needlework
in his face? And should she—just toplease him?
IN THE MIDDLE
DEAR IN: He hasn’t the right to ask her to quit. Handi
work for many (men as well as women) is therapeutic. It’s
relaxing and relieves tension. Tell her I said she should
stick to her needlework—but look up a little more.
DEAR ABBY: I have a small but annoying problem I
need help with. It seems that whenever I telephone a friend
I haven’t spoken to for some time, his or her first words are
something like, “Well, I don't believe I am actually hearing
from you,” or, "My goodness, I thought you'd dropped off
the edge of the earth, etc...” (I’m sure you get the idea,
Abby.)
It irks me to be put down with such a negative reception,
when I have finally taken the initiative and called someone,
as though it were MY obligation to do so.
It’s the same kind of guilt some elderly folks or shut-ins
lay on those who haven’t been around to see them for a
while. In other words, how does one cope with people who
make you feel guilty?
IRKED
DEAR IRKED: No one can make you feel “guilty” unless
you’ve earned the guilt. (Irritated, put down and even out
raged perhaps, but not guilty.) There's no way to prevent
others from needling you. Develop a tougher hide.
For Abby’s booklet, “How to Have a Lovely Wedding,”
send SI to Abigail Van Buren, 132 Lasky Dr., Beverly Hills,
Calif. 90212. Please enclose a long, self-addressed, stamped
(240 envelope.
