Letters on scrap paper may
need reading between lines
DEAR ABBY: Why in the world does
“Sick of Scraps” care what kind of paper
her friend uses to correspond with her?
Does she share her mail and is somehow
embarrassed? I don’t get it. In this age of
faxes, cell phones and e-mail, “Sick of
Scraps” should be tickled pink she’s receiv
ing letters.
Perhaps her friend’s finances have not
kept pace with inflation.
Does “I love you” mean any less if it is
written on the back of an old memo or
newsletter? On a more pragmatic level,
using scraps of paper helps the planet by
recycling paper. The amount of usable
paper we throw out every day borders on
obscene.
PAULINE H.G. GETZ,
ATTORNEY, SAN DIEGO
DEAR PAULINE: It occurred to me that
the friend might have been using “memo
pads, odd pieces of paper or whatever
appeared to be available” for economic rea
sons. That’s why I suggested that “Sick of
Scraps” send her friend a box of stationery.
Read on:
DEAR ABBY: “Sick of Scraps” seems to
be more interested in pretty paper than she
is in her “cherished friendship.” Personally,
if my friend wrote letters to me on scraps,
I’d be more concerned for her financial
needs. After all, they’re both in their 70s
and are most likely retired. Has it even
occurred to “Sick of Scraps” that her friend
might not wish to burden her with such
information?
Your response to send a box of stationery
didn’t even address that woman’s rudeness
to her friend. Your suggestion bothered me
because there have been times when I
couldn’t afford even cheap stationery, but I
still wanted to be in touch with my dear

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(March 25): The future looks
brighter than you thought possi
ble. Your career is the strongest
focus through the spring and
travel for business increases prof
its and prestige. Open savings and
pursue safe investments in May.
Your love life is complex, and
many decisions must be made in
the summer. Love with a Libra or
Virgo is passionate and sexy. A
promotion is granted before your
next birthday.
ARIES (March 21-April 19):
You’ve practically become a
celebrity overnight. Let your
ambition guide you. New develop
ments in buying and selling look
promising. Shop around carefully
before committing. A Gemini pre
sents a host of opportunities.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
When someone spends quality
time with you, honor the gesture
as if it were an expensive gift.
News about an ex could rock your
world, so plan a fun-filled and
somewhat selfish weekend.
Tarnished reputations can be
repaired.
friends. True
friends don’t
judge the
book by its
cover (or the letter by its paper). Didn’t
you notice how petty her complaint was?
I’m only 43, but I’m thankful for my
cherished friends and whatever way they
choose to stay in touch.
JONI KELLY,
NOLANVILLE, TEXAS
DEAR JONI: The woman wasn’t rude to
her friend. She addressed her concerns to
me. And as to whether I noticed that her
values might be skewed in the wrong direc
tion, I advised her that a 36-year friendship
should be more important to her than the
kind of paper (stationery) that sustained it
across the distance.
I agree, true friends don’t judge a book by
its cover or the letter by the paper on
which it is written. Read on:
DEAR ABBY: The letter from “Sick of
Scraps” reminded me of how the corre
spondence between my mother and her sis
ter deteriorated as they both sank deep into
dementia.
Relatives of the elderly would do well to
read “The 36-Hour Day” (Johns Hopkins
University Press). It’s an excellent treatise
on dementia.
KIRBY A. WILLIAMS,
MARTINEZ, CALIF.
DEAR KIRBY: Thank you for your suc
cinct and thought-provoking note. It hadn’t
occurred to me that either of the women
might be suffering from mental impair
ment. Now that you have pointed it out, I
agree it’s worth considering since the
woman’s behavior changed abruptly four
years ago.
Under the star’s gaze
GEMINI (May 21-June 21):
Remain firm in a romantic deci
sion. Seek out opinions from those
who know you well. Make contact
with an insecure mate, and let him
or her know you care. Be honest
and direct when discussing your
feelings.
CANCER (June 22-July 22):
Busy, popular people surround
you and you may lead the
bunch to a group accomplishment.
Get errands and short trips out of
the way; you find a new possibili
ty for your heart. Prepare for sur
prise business to come through.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You
are growing more effective and
could experience some pangs due
to this positive change. Children’s
needs are emphasized. Let intu
ition guide you, especially when it
comes to financial matters.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If
you exceed a budget, try not to
punish yourself, but realize that it
could have been avoided. Stop
feeling like a financial victim! Pay
close attention to signals from a
supervisor. Try to articulate those
vague but brilliant ideas.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23):
Others may paint a sad picture,
but your job is not to be the savior
contribute only what you don’t
need. Passion fires continue to
grow hotter. A lingering financial
issue demands more than lip ser
vice.
Abigdil
Van Buren JXofcJ
SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov. 21):
Take better care of what you own
invest that bonus. Creativity is
very strong; express yourself in
writing or through art. Though a
family member tries to hold you
back, you’re determined to be free.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21): Take the lead, as you contin
ue to know what’s in the best
interest of all. There is no room
for self-doubt. Romance in the
workplace isn’t ideal, though
strong impulses make you believe
otherwise.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): You’ll get rave reviews for
detailed work money follows.
New alliances will make it impos
sible for you to lose out in impor
tant assignments or events. Ask
for more than you what you think
you’ll get.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Fetx 18):
Show that you can hold your own;
prove that you’re motivated.
Spiritual insights make life a bit
easier. Family obligations bring
joy. You receive positive attention
when you least expect it. A
Gemini understands you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-Mareh 20):
There’s new friendship with one
you don’t immediately under
stand; it’s unusual when insight
fails you, but you’re mystified
now. You may overhear insider
investment information. The
evening brings a plan for profit.
