Widow realizes the is others
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I were mar¬
years,
Christmas was our favorite time of
year. As I sit here this morning, I
remember all the time we wasted wor¬
rying about getting the “perfect” gift
for everyone, when in reality the most
perfect gift you can give is yourself
and your love.
We had seven beautiful kids, 23
beautiful grandchildren and five
adorable so it
took a lot of time to shop for everyone. I realize
that the most perfect gift would be to have my
darling husband here with us. He passed away
Oct. 10,2003.
I now understand that the perfect gifts were
the love and closeness we shared together, and
you can’t buy that in any department store.
So, Abby, please suggest to your readers
that when they’re agonizing about finding the
perfect gift, they should look right under their
own noses. They may find they already have it.
— MISSING HIM IN OHIO
DEAR MISSING HIM: Thank you for the
poignant reminder that too often we take for
granted those intangibles that are the most pre¬
cious. You and your darling husband shared a
life together filled with an abundance of riches.
I hope that knowledge will bring you comfort
during this time and for the rest of your holiday
seasons to come.
DEAR ABBY: Please warn your readers that
their Web pages and blogs could stand in the
way of securing a job! Just as employers have
learned to read e-mail and blogs, they have
learned to screen candidates through their sites.
Many people in their 20s and 30s wrongly
believe their creations are entertaining and
informative. Employers are not seeking politi¬
cal activists, evangelizers, whiners or tattletales.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(December 4). This year,
your friendships with world¬
ly individuals are the impetus
for excitement, travel and
wild escapades. Sharing
dreams and schemes with
potential collaborators in the
next six weeks is the first
step to realizing them. A
major purchase is finally
made in March. Aries and
Leo are on your side and will
jump to your aid on a
moment’s notice. Your lucky
numbers are: 10, 8, 24, 52
and 50.
ARIES (March 21-ApriI
19) . Strange coincidences
give you a slightly paranoid
feeling — is there a conspira¬
cy going on? No. But there is
a grand plan coming togeth¬
er. Log in your requests now
while the powers that be are
still open to suggestions.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) . No one can take advan¬
tage of people who don’t
have weaknesses, but it’s
hard to love them as well.
Stop showing that stoic,
strong part of yourself, and
flash a little (loveable) vul¬
nerability.

Jeanne Phillips
opened up a line of thought I’ll bet a lot of job
applicants — and future job applicants have
never considered. Googling a name isn’t diffi¬
cult, and it could lead to an applicant’s blog.
Most bloggers write to be read, and invite peo¬
ple to comment. Thank you for the reminder
that those who blog should remember that they
are open to public scrutiny, and that if they
apply for a job, everything about them will be
considered — including their blog. Prospective
employers are certainly within their rights to
make decisions based upon what they read.
DEAR ABBY: Last week, my family suffered
the loss of my grandfather. He was Catholic,
the only Catholic in our immediate family, and
his funeral was held in a Catholic church as he
wished.
When it came time to receive communion, a
family friend encouraged my grandmother and
the rest of the non-Catholic family members to
receive communion. Should we have received
communion out of respect for our grandfather,
or was it right to stand by our own beliefs?
— GRIEVING IN VIRGINIA
DEAR GRIEVING: You showed respect for
your grandfather by attending his funeral.
Communion is a sacred rite in which only prac¬
ticing Catholics participate. You were correct to
refrain from doing so.
Horoscopes by Holiday
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You are the most courageous
of your group. You find it easy
to let go of the familiar.
Others follow you. Lead them
somewhere safe, where talents
are nurtured and individuality
is tolerated.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
What you are considering
might not be a good idea, but
you’ll never know unless you
move forward at least a
few steps. Don’t let the fear of
being wrong keep you from
knowing that you’re right.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The
planets favor the end of a tug
of war. If you know you can’t
win, you might decide to let
go of the rope. There is some
satisfaction from seeing the
other side tumble backward.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept 22).
Idleness gets a bad wrap these
days, but it’s not without
merit. Taking the time to play
around, chitchat or do nothing
at all will prove to be a most
brilliant move.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-()ct. 23).
Creativity hums through your
cells. Continue to follow
through on your ideas, regard¬
less of whether or not they are
turning out the way you envi¬
sioned. Others find your work
quite beautiful.
SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov.
21). You’re feeling shy, but to
that interesting person walk
ing out of your life without so
much as a conversation would
be a mistake. Speak up. What
you say might be exquisite
nonsense, and yet, a connec-

newspaper because a client, patient
or parent of a student discovered a
comment written by an employee.
The job market is tight, and job
seekers must remember their com¬
puter skills can either help them
land a position or destroy a job
prospect.
— CHICAGO EMPLOYER
DEAR EMPLOYER: You have
tion is forged.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22
Dec. 21). The planets set your
social life abuzz you flick :
er and flit from person to per¬
son sharing your effervescent
affection. You live for the
moment, but when the party is
over, speculate on its signifi¬
cance.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). You have the juiciest
secret, and you’re so tempted
to tell. Resist! The short-term
ego gains will never outweigh
your guilt over the betrayal.
What’s worse is that the leak
will be traced back to you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Your interests are widely
varied. Some are kooky
(aliens, trans-dimensional trav¬
el, etc.) and some are as nor¬
mal as can be (sports). The
stars smile when you approach
your more ordinary interest
with extraordinary passion.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Your first attempt on a project
is just that — a first attempt.
No one requires you to be an
expert right out of the gate
(except you). Have the confi¬
dence to listen to criticism and
then apply it to your project.
