Couple hides when mom bangs on door
DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend, “Larry,” and I
have been together four years. Two
years ago, his mother moved into the
same apartment complex.
Every weekend, Larry’s mother
walks over to our apartment and
bangs on the door. If we don’t
answer, she peeks in the windows. If
she spots a light on in our apartment,
she goes back to hers and starts call
ing nonstop.
We are trapped! Weekends are our >———
quiet time, and Larry has asked his mother to
call before coming over. She ignores his
request.
I like to sleep late on Saturday and
Sunday. I’m tempted to say something to her
the next time she pounds on our door uninvit
ed and wakes us, but I need to be sure she
will listen and know I am serious. Any sug
gestions?
TRAPPED IN MELBOURNE, FLA.
DEAR TRAPPED: Your boyfriend’s mother
has the hide of a rhino. She sees her son as an
extension of herself, so according to her
logic, why should she be shut out?
Your best bet would be to move to a secu
rity building where this woman will not have
the kind of access to you that she does now.
Make it “Larry’s idea,” because if his mother
gets the impression that you’re standing
between her and her “cub,” she’ll try to
devour you.
DEAR ABBY: I would like to take this
opportunity to thank the unnamed heroes who
provide hospice care. They are well aware
that, in spite of the many gestures of compas
sion and the kindness they bestow, the patient
to whom they have become attached is even
tually going to die. Yet that never stops hos-

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(January 23). Beginner's
luck is yours this year! Even
if you’ve got no experience in
an area, just go for it! You
could be a highly paid pro in
a matter of months. Focus on
aesthetics, sensuality and
spirituality. You know how to
put that creative touch into
everything you do. In March,
your love life takes on new
definition and great momen
tum. Some marry in June.
Your lucky numbers are: 4,
29,41,5 and 38.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) Enjoy your success
before moving on to the next
conquest. A spontaneous get
away with your partner has a
positive effect on your rela
tionship. A phone call brings
the chance to put an issue to
rest.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) No matter what rung of
the success ladder you find
yourself on, remember you
are the CEO of your own life.
Write a personal mission
statement, and refer to it
when you feel like you are
drifting off course.

My own family was blessed with three won

the end for my grandmother. I will always be
grateful for their emotional and spiritual sup
port.
I hope my letter will encourage other fami
lies facing the terminal illness of a loved one
to grant him or her quality of life by allowing
that person to die with the dignity that hos
pice care provides. Sign me ...
GRATEFUL IN OKLAHOMA
DEAR GRATEFUL: Please accept my deep
est sympathy for the loss of your beloved
grandmother.
I have long been a supporter of hospice
care. It provides physician services, nurses,
home health aides, social workers, clergy,
specially trained volunteers and bereavement
counselors. As long as a patient is eligible,
hospice is covered by Medicare, most private
insurers and, in most states, Medicaid.
For more information about hospice care,
contact one of your local hospice programs.
You physician can refer you. In addition, call
the National Hospice and Palliative Care
Organization (NHPCO) toll-free: (800) 658-
8898, or visit the Web site, www.nhpco.org,
for information about and referrals to local
hospice programs.

GEMINI (May 21-June
21) Be careful not to pro
crastinate or ignore impor
tant issues. This applies to
your love life, too. The stick
ing points won’t change if
you keep putting off what
needs to be done. A
Sagittarius has a crush on
you.
CANCER (June 22-July
22) Is there a roadblock
keeping you from continuing
on your chosen journey? All
is not lost! Think of it mere
ly as a detour in the path to
your greatest achievement.
Not every goal is a straight
shot.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
When you reward yourself
(maybe a special dinner and
brand new CD to listen to
while you dine), you send a
message to your mate: “I
deserve the VIP treatment.”
More adoration is sure to
follow.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You haven’t been left
behind, tossed aside or for
gotten. If you remember cor
rectly, it was your idea to lie
low for a while. You still
have friends, and they still
love you for who you are.
Deliver a gift in person.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Hold your cards closer to
your chest today. There may
be someone who intends to
take credit for your original
idea. Be an example. It’s
more profitable than
revenge. And it takes a lot
less work to pull off.
patients and their patients’ fami
lies.
Hospice workers make sure the
patient doesn’t experience pain, is
emotionally supported, and that
the caregivers have time to run
errands and take much-needed
breaks.
When the patient passes away,
it’s the hospice workers who com-
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). You can’t help but stand
out. Do not apologize, and
be proud of who you are.
You can’t please everyone
all of the time, so please
yourself instead. Stop, and
think about whose opinion
really matters to you and
why.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19). Make an effort to
learn something new. Doing
one spontaneous thing
having an expensive lunch
or taking a walk along the
water can break the cycle
and clear the mental clouds.
Results will follow quickly.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Increase your circle of
friends by accepting an invi
tation to a social gathering
tonight. Make a point to
introduce yourself to every
single person. A not-so-sur
prising romantic connection
arises.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Your reputation as
the person who can get
things done entitles you to
some new admirers. A wind
fall comes from being in the
right place at the right time.
Your personal achievement:
an anonymous gift to a char
ity.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). You can’t help everyone
all the time. Set some bound
aries, and be strong. It may
be difficult at first to say no
to a close friend, but your
relationship will be more
balanced for it in the end.
