You know you're a plugger couple when the
movie on the classic channel is one you saw
at the theater on its first showing.
Girlfriend is eager to be a wife but not stepmother
DEAR ABBY: I’m to “Kurt offered her lessons or a transfer to
in August. He has a 3-year-old
daughter, “Krystal,” from his first
marriage. We didn’t meet until a
month after his wife, “June,” left
him, so I’m not a home wrecker.
I moved in with Kurt several
weeks after we began dating and
have been cleaning his house, taking
care of Krystal when she’s here,
doing his laundry, cooking for him
— like a wife would do.
Abby, June doesn’t want Krystal. She
remarried six weeks ago and has asked us to
take her. June’s husband is loud, mean and
abusive, so I don’t think it would be safe for
Krystal to stay there.
My problem is I can’t stand Krystal. She’s
a spoiled brat. I don’t want to be a full-time
mother, although at some point I’d like to
have a child of my own.
I haven’t told Kurt how I feel because I’m
afraid he’d kick me out. Now I’m wondering
if I should tell him I’m leaving before he
sends me on my way. I don’t think we can
work this out because he loves Krystal, and I
don’t think he’d understand why I don’t want
to be her stepmother. What should I do?
— UNWILLING IN NEW MEXICO
DEAR UNWILLING: Level with Kurt, the
sooner the better. Unless you can accept that
he and Krystal are a package deal and learn to
love her, to marry him would be a mistake
and a disservice to all of you. That little girl
has already struck out once in the mother
department. Kurt needs a wife who is ready to
embrace not only him, but also the child who
will always be a high priority in his life.
DEAR ABBY: Our 20-year-old daughter was
suspended from a small private university. We

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(May 7). You attract good for¬
tune like crazy this year. It all
starts with one generous move
in the next two weeks. The
ball keeps rolling, and in July,
you’ll have a windfall! In
June, key relationships reflect
your values better than before.
An irresistible job offer is fea¬
tured in July, and you may
have to relocate to take advan¬
tage of it. Love signs are
Aquarius and Virgo. Your
lucky numbers are: 16, 2, 11,
6 and 9.
ARIES (March 21-ApriI 19).
You may find yourself in a
shy mood that’s very unchar¬
acteristic of you. If you stay
quiet to keep from being
judged, it’s a good indicator
that you are judging others.
Give that up, and your usual
sparkle comes right back.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Although study and travel can
provide benefits, you might
feel like staying home.
Political players need you on
their side and will woo you
with promises. A love from
the past tries to win you back.

Jeanne Phillips
She says she’s finally finding her back¬
bone and becoming independent. We told her
that being independent means assuming
financial responsibility for oneself, and that
we will no longer provide anything beyond
medical and dental coverage for her. She
thinks we’re cutting the purse strings on her
new “college lifestyle” because we don’t like
her boyfriend, which is true.
Are we being unreasonable? Also, any
advice on the fastest way to get that oaf out of
the picture would be appreciated.
— MAD MOM IN VIRGINIA
DEAR MOM: Refusing to subsidize her
live-in” lifestyle is not being unreasonable.
It’s your money, and you can spend it — or
not — as you see fit.
Let her know that as an adult, her choices
are her own. If she chooses to get a job and
work her way through school in order to be
close to her boyfriend, that is her choice. It
would be nice if she had a self-supporting,
upwardly mobile love interest but since
she doesn't, and she’s determined to live with
him, she must pay the price. As to the fastest
way to get "the oaf’ out of the picture, here’s
what not to do: Do not bad-mouth him. It will
only make her defensive and drive them clos¬
er together.
Under the stars ’ gaze
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Cast your line, and see what
bites today. Some of the most
far-out ideas can be gold
mines. Don’t over think it —
just see what happens. You’ll
get the call back that you need
to attract some special atten¬
tion around work.
CANCER (June 22-JuIy 22).
You’re very quick now, practi¬
cally learning by osmosis.
Unpleasant people and diffi¬
cult business associates come
into the picture — an opportu¬
nity to show your class! You
can actually turn a bad situa¬
tion totally around!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). With
a strong agenda, you can
accomplish quite a lot.
Without one, you’re flounder¬
ing today. Don’t spend major
time on minor things! That’s a
recipe for mediocrity! A new
organizational system will
help you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You’re ahead of your time!
People in your position must
be ready to explain over and
over again until the others
catch on. Your quiet confi¬
dence and patience are valu¬
able assets that others do
appreciate.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A
family obligation is clarified
with a conversation. (You’ll
probably be asked to lend
something, and it would be
wise to say “no.") Take a
chance on the social scene.
New friendships are the way
to new romances.
PAGE 5A
number of other schools around
the country to help her find the
right field of study. She refused.
She can do the work; she was just
not motivated.
She now wants to attend a
large university in another state to
be near her boyfriend. We suspect
that they want to live together. He
smokes dope and lives on welfare,
and this is to us.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov,
21). You keep imagining your
day if you didn’t have to do
that one thing! You don’t
believe it now, but it is possi¬
ble to do the one thing seven
times faster. Figure out how.
Hint: There are people out
there already doing it! Ask
them!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22
Dec. 21). You could have a
rude awakening this morning
— write down those dreams!
There’s key information in
your subconscious. To get
yourself into a lucky frame of
mind, be a fabulous tipper.
Money comes back to you!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) . You’ll help a friend, and a
friend will help you. It’s better
if no money exchanges hands
between pals, though. There’s
sexy energy on the social
front, and dangerous liaisons
could be sparked. A Cancer
figures prominently.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You’ve got charisma —
use it wisely. Share your
vision with your “soldiers,”
and come up with a battle
plan. Financial prospects need
more research. Bear in mind
that popular decisions may not
make you happy.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20) . What is best for you is
laid out by the most unlikely
person. Keep your eyes open.
A close platonic friendship is
verging on romance .—
today, it could make the turn.
Artists find pay for creative
work — finally.
