Moodier wears out welcome by criticizing handouts
DEAR ABBY: My husband's friend. “Kevin,”
has been coming to our house once a
week for the past eight years. He is
always broke and looking for a hand
out, even though he has a full-time
job.
In the beginning, I tried to help him
by inviting him to stay for dinner once
in a while. Now he has started to com
plain:
The steak isn't cooked the way he
likes it, or I don't toss the salad the
way his mom does. (By the way, Kevin is 35
and still lives at home.) The reason he always
needs money is that he spends every paycheck
on drugs.
I recently gave birth to my first child and 1
don't want him to be around someone like
Kevin, but my husband refuses to stop his
friend from coming to our house. How can I
politely get this moocher out of my home
without causing trouble between my husband
and myself?
NEW MOM
DEAR NEW MOM: That's easy. Stop feeding
that moocher steak, go vegetarian, and toss the
salads your way. I predict he'll be out of your
hair as soon as the gravy train stops rolling.
P.S. You don't mention what kind of drugs
this man is addicted to, but he should not be
around your baby while he is under the influ
ence. If your husband continues to object,
explain to him that it could be considered child
endangerment.
DEAR ABBY: My 13 -year-old daughter was
molested by her half-brother for almost a year
before she found the courage to tell us.
When we found out. we did everything we
could to help her overcome this. We even
moved out of state to give her a fresh start.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(March 19). Your place in
the world feels more defined.
Career wins could have
something to do with it.
You'll experience a change in
the nature of your friendships
in the next seven weeks. You
need different things and
expect more, so the kind of
person you're interested in,
whether for kinship or
romance, has to be able to
deliver. Your lucky numbers
are: 24. 15.38. 29 and 8.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) Financially, there are
more resources in your
immediate reach than you are
presently utilizing. Deadlines
only serve to improve you.
Romance at work is a possi
bility for singles. Keep it
under wraps for now.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) Recognize who your
true friends are. and treat
them like gold. You feel
addicted to love and enjoy
this part of the romantic
cycle it happens rarely.
However, don't be blind to
other important parts of your
life.

STRONGLY AGAINST VISIT
DEAR STRONGLY: No, you are not wrong.
You are a concerned and protective mother, and
your first obligation is to protect your daughter
from her predator. Tell the “family members”
that your husband can visit his son, but not vice
versa. And make no apologies.
DEAR ABBY: My husband and 1 are anticipat
ing the arrival of our first child in two months.
We have registered at a local store for the items
we will need.
A close friend has graciously offered to give
me a baby show er, but she refuses to add w here
we are registered to the invitation. She says it's
poor etiquette.
Isn't the whole point of a baby shower to
receive gifts'? Is pointing people in the right
direction so wrong?
The invitations go out in less than a week.
Help. ASAP!
BAFFLED IN ORANGE, CA.
DEAR BAFFLED: Sorry, but I agree with
your friend. While it is understood that showers
are all about getting gifts, a more refined way
to get the message across is for the hostess to
verbally communicate where the guest of honor
is registered at the time the invitees RSVP.
Under the stars ’ gaze
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Approach work with caution.
You've done the right thing
thus far. but it's easy to make
a move that will cause a set
back. Recognize w hen a job
is finished, and then. stop.
This is especially true in
sales.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). The landscape of your
life is an ever-evolving scene.
Pay attention to changes this
afternoon. Socially, you're
asked to stretch yourself
tonight. When you put your
self out there, you have more
fun. regardless of the out
come.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It's
funny how one good turn can
keep you juiced about life for
weeks to come. Such events
happen early on make
arrangements to celebrate
your luck! You’ll feel gener
ous tonight. Sagittarius and
Capricorn are especially
receptive.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You'll lose yourself if you
mold your actions to some
one's expectation of you.
Decide first what it is you
have to offer, and deliver that.
Business is more complicated
than usual. Be sure you
understand your end com
pletely.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct 23).
Investigate the latest technol
ogy. Being able to use a new
tool can put you in the posi
tion to make more money.
You are defined by your
choices.
ed my husband again. He wants to
visit us. I do not want him in this
house and my daughter feels the
same way. Some family members
say I am denying my husband a
relationship with his son. I'm not
trying to keep them apart; I'm try
ing to protect my daughter. I have
reached the point that I will leave
and take my kids with me before
I'll expose them to this again. Am I
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). You'll get mixed signals
from someone you admire,
but assume the best. Taking
the high road brings everyone
up and the other route
reduces every one to a child
ish level. Socialize with a
Gemini and a Taurus for luck.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Cherish what you
have, and the doors to abun
dance swing open wide.
Charisma is so high, new
people get flustered when
dealing with you. Tonight's
creative work may well be
the finest you've ever done.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) Give precise instructions
to anyone who works for you.
and invite others to talk about
how the job could be done
better, quicker or cheaper. In
relationships, communication
equals sanity. Your words are
persuasive tonight.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Consider why an ex still
seems to have such pull over
your psyche. Love is still at
the core. You recoup invest
ment losses but must make
the conscious decision to
stop putting yourself in a
financially vulnerable posi
tion.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20) Your mental engines are
racing you may awaken
early with an idea or a worry.
This fuels your creativity.
Try to think of it as “all
good." Singles take classes
and meet new prospects. Ro
mance progresses.
