Only a plugger can rebuild what Hollywood
destroys.
Clutter may disguise problems that run deeper
DEAR ABBY: My husband has been working
out of the country for almost a year.
Since he’s been gone, I have turned
into a housekeeping slob. I have a
demanding job where I pick up the
slack for missing personnel. I am one
of a few musicians at church on
Sundays. In addition, I’m struggling
with a chronic back problem. I’m
overwhelmed.
Cleaning the house has taken a
back seat to all the other things I do,
and now it is full of clutter. It’s out of control.
Most of the time I feel like I don’t care.
How can I get out of this slump? I feel guilty
when I watch my neighbors taking care of their
homes. Please help me get going.
NOT MOTIVATED IN ORANGE,
CALIF.
DEAR NOT: Has it occurred to you that you
might be depressed by your husband’s long
absence? The first thing to do is schedule an
appointment with your physician for a com
plete check-up and a frank talk. Once that’s
done, ask a friend or two if they’ll help you
with the house over a weekend. Treat them to
dinner and a movie afterward. Os course, for
the same amount of money, you could proba
bly hire someone to help you. but enlisting the
help of friends would be more fun. And from
my perspective, contact with, friends is what
you need right now. Good luck.
DEAR ABBY: There is a husband and wife in
our church who drive everyone crazy. We live
in a small rural area and most of our congrega
tion are simple, modest folk.
These people live in a neighboring town in
a very pretentious, affluent neighborhood.
They drive an expensive SUV and are extrava
gant in everything they do. Their children mis-

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(January 30). Creative suc
cess is yours this year what
a fabulous feeling! Be bold,
and make yourself known to
the business world at large
the telephone is your tool to
wealth! March helps you get
set on personal priorities.
When those are in order,
you’ve got peace of mind that
carries you through. Love is a
powerful force through the
summer. Your lucky numbers
are: 9, 26,41,53 and 30.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Maybe it's the kind of hobby
that can never be fully real
ized, but still, you have fun
trying to be perfect. Activities
in several different areas of
life will make you well round
ed and, actually, happy. Don’t
let your vision get too narrow.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Your workload is heavy, but
keep a cheerful attitude, and
everything is accomplished
when it’s supposed to be.
Trying to do it all alone is no
fun. Make plans with friends
to inspire you toward goals
that are good for your busi
ness.

MISERABLE METHODIST IN NEW
YORK
DEAR MISERABLE METHODIST: God
can see you, too. And he has asked me to relay
this message: “Happy are they who tend to
their own gardens and waste not their time
complaining about their neighbors’ shortcom
ings.”
DEAR ABBY: For three years in high school,
I was sexually harassed by a boy I’ll call
“Tim.” When he graduated, I thought my trou
bles were over. They're not. Due to a disability,
I will not be going away to college. Tim is not
going away for the same reason. We will both
be attending the same community college. I
have contacted the head of security at the col
lege and will be speaking to him soon. How do
I keep Tim from destroying my dignity like he
did in high school? I am terrified of him.
FEARFUL IN OHIO
DEAR FEARFUL: First of all, let’s hope this
young man has matured past the point where
he would harass you. Neither of you are chil
dren anymore. You are doing the right thing to
take your concerns to the head of security. If
that fails to resolve the problem, document any
and all incidents and promptly report the
harassment to the police department.
Under the stars y gaze
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Usually, you are amenable and
will try to accommodate others
in business. But it’s simply
more important now to main
tain your position. If you don’t
compromise, you’ll get your
way, which is better for every
one.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You can get almost anything
you want by talking positively
about it to the right people.
Note: I said “anything,” not
“everything.” Focus. The
social scene holds gems for
you. At the very least, you’ll
find new people entertaining.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Progress that has been ham
pered (by that person who’s
basically a pain) will now start
flowing the way it’s supposed
to. Give your difficult person
what he or she wants. It’s not
hard, but you might have to
swallow your pride first.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Your mission: to get Mr. or
Ms. Wonderful to spend some
time with you. Os course, an
upbeat, happy attitude is
essential, but anyone can
muster up a smile. Bring along
your razor wit, too, and don’t
be afraid to take risks with it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-OcL 23).
You’re being watched at work,
which bodes well for promo
tion. Higher-ups want to see
that you’re not swayed by
every little distraction and
mishap. Plan your workday
before you even clock in.
Sagittarius is especially
impressed.
they’re better than everyone else.
They are all spoiled, lacldng in dis
cipline, and seem to have behavior
or emotional problems. Despite
their bravado, they don’t realize
that everybody can see through
them. Maybe if you remind these
individuals that God can see them,
whether they are in church or not,
they’ll know they aren’t fooling
anyone.
SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov.
21). This is no time to play the
nice guy. Letting someone be
disrespectful of your feelings
is a sure way to kill the possi
bility that he or she will regard
you highly in the future. Put
an end to bad behavior by
speaking up.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Forge ahead with
implementing your part of an
agreement without worrying
about what the other person is
doing. Others get into gear
when they know you’re
already in action. Enjoy a few
good laughs at work.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Thankfulness attracts
abundance. A pb' ne call is the
best way to express gratitude;
the personal touch makes the
difference for a hard-to-please
someone. With elders, show
modesty and willingness to
learn.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). The lengths you’ll go to
have fun! Doing what you
thought you never would do is
exciting, so take a walk on the
wild side! The evening is
friendly and flirty, with num
bers exchanged and promises
made to get together soon.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Authority figures are
impressed with you, too, but
this is only the beginning of
what you can do. Push your
self. Being a little uncomfort
able is only proof that you are
growing. Relationships teach
you what you are made of
tonight.
