DEAR ABBY: I am a single woman who
dates and is not in a serious relationship right
now. I’m enjoying my life, having fun, but
rhave met someone along the way who is
I’m the
same vibes from him.
Before meeting “Mr. New,” I
booked a Caribbean vacation with
someone I have dated off and one for
a few years. Now I’m worried. What
if things progress with Mr. New?
How will I tell him, and how will he
feel about my going on vacation with
“Mr. Standby”? I don’t think lying is
the answer, but I could say I was
going with a girlfriend. But what if we
become something more and he finds out I
lied to him?
The trip is coming up soon and I don’t
know when — or if — I should tell Mr. New.
Who knows? We could be over by then,
although I hope not. Any advice would be
appreciated.
— SINGLE GIRL IN PINE HILL, N.J.
DEAR SINGLE GIRL: I’m surprised
you would still be enthusiastic about “trip¬
ping” with Mr. Standby while you’re falling
for Mr. New. Do not lie. The truth has a way
of coming out, and if you do, it will wreck
your credibility and the romance as well.
I advise you to level with Standby and let
him know you met someone. He needs to find
another travel companion ASAP. There will
probably be a penalty for assigning your pre¬
purchased ticket to someone else. If there is,
offer to pay it. It’s the price of being honor¬
able.
P.S. If Mr. New does not turn out to be Mr.
Right, you can always take another trip with
Mr. Standby next year if he is still willing to
date you. (However, if he reads Dear Abby
and recognizes that you consider him only
Mr. Standby,” he may not be.)

TODAY S BIRTHDAY
(AUGUST 14). You want
everything in your is life to be
quality. So this your year
to make conscious choices,
and you choose the best.
Your talents are showcased in
September. project You're the one fin¬ to
pull a across the
ish line in December and
your rewards for doing so
keep rolling in for years to
come. Aquarius and
Sagittarius adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 8, 25,49,
11 and 16.
ARIES 19) (March 21-April
. You do something cre¬
ative with your negative
emotions. Before you know
it, you've turned something
unsatisfactory in your life
into a helpful enterprise.
Capricorn helps you see
things differently.
a
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) . You may be feeling low
on willpower, so it's useless
to deny of yourself saying anything.
Instead no, decide
what you're saying yes to,
and move toward that. When
inspired, you can move
mountains.
GEMINI (May 21-June

mood again. You're treasure
FORSYTH COUNTY NEWS — Wednesday, August 13,2008
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are
expecting our first child and selected names
some time ago. If it’s a boy, we’ll name him
Ethan; if it’s a girl, we’ll call her Ardith.
My father sent us a e-
; „

our last name.) It wasn’t even our original
family name, but a badly Americanized
name-gone-wrong that was laid on our grand¬
father when he came to this country.
My husband and I found my father’s
remarks extremely hurtful and wrote him to
explain why we chose the name Ardith, but
Dad persists in saying how much he hates our
choice.
We know the name is old-fashioned and
unusual. But considering what some celebri¬
ties name their children these days, Ardith
doesn’t seem weird to us. If she dislikes her
name, we’ll help her change it later, but I
doubt that will happen. Meanwhile, how do
we deal with my father when he keeps bug¬
ging us?
— EXPECTING ANY DAY NOW
IN CALIFORNIA
DEAR EXPECTING: By standing your
ground and refusing to be intimidated. The
privilege of choosing a child’s name belongs
to his or her parents. If Grandpa doesn’t like
it, suggest that he call your daughter
Darling,” or “Honey.” Both are endearments
and would be his “special” name for her.
Horoscopes by Holiday
hunting for the perfect addi¬
tion to your group. Nothing
useless, all very useful, if
only for their perceived value
and for the fact that you love
them so.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). You can guide someone
to greatness. You have the
insight — you know what
they need to do. Present your
ideas in a soft light. Be
seductive. Avoid saying any
thing that would put the other
person on the defensive.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
There’s something forbidden
that you can't seem to stay
away from. The very fact that
it is off-limits keeps you hov¬
ering near. Everyone needs to
be a little bad once in a
while, and this is your time.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
There's a sneaking suspicion
afoot. It's like you are lucky
and you don't even know it.
Tonight, enjoy the wonderful
sensation of having nowhere
to go that's better than where
you are.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You were meant for a special
purpose. It's not so obvious
to you now. In fact, the small
deeds you're doing are point¬
ing in a direction, adding up
to something. know It's not your
job to is what. Just trust
that it so.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). You're willing to be
mildly uncomfortable if it
makes the other person
happy. Unfortunately, asking the
other person may be
you to become very uncom¬
fortable, and you’re just not
into that.

mail telling us he’s praying we
have a boy because he couldn’t
imagine “saddling a child with a
name like Ardith.” This from a
man who named his son

with a last name that is an insult
in two languages. (My brother
and I grew so sick of being
reminded of it that we changed
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22
Dec. 21). Even though you're
dealing with people who
already understand you most
of the time, you still need to
use your best communication
today. wherever Be thorough, and
possible, write it
down.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22
Jan. 19). You're wrapped up
in the immediacy of the day.
But are the needs you are ful¬
filling really urgent? Is it
really necessary to answer it
the cell phone every time
rings? Rethink your avail¬
ability factor.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Your agenda is quite dif¬
ferent from the one your boss
or colleagues have for you.
It's a blessing. Before this,
you didn't even know you
had an agenda. These people
are your teachers.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Carl Jung said that noth¬
ing influences children more
than the unlived lives of their
parents. You'll find yourself
in the throes of an endeavor
that your mother and father
would have loved to have
experienced firsthand.
