DEAR ABBY: A year ago, my brother “Leon” had a nervous breakdown at work due to a co-worker constantly harassing him. He’s currently under the care of a therapist through his workplace and has not worked for a year.
Dear Doctor: Is it really that important to walk around during a long flight? I always take a window seat when I fly, and I pretty much stay put because it’s so hard to move around in a plane these days.
DEAR ABBY: I have never been in love before, and I have just learned the man I’m seeing is a former felon. It was nothing having to do with sexual violence or killing anyone. I’m afraid if my family finds out, they will judge him. He works seven days a week and lives in a shelter because most places don’t want to rent to felons. He treats me good and takes me out for dinners.
Dear Doctor: I was helping with Thanksgiving dinner when the paring knife slipped and sliced my finger. My aunt said to clean the cut with rubbing alcohol, which we didn’t have. I’ve always heard you’re supposed hold it under running water. How do you fix a cut?
DEAR HARRIETTE: My twin teenage daughters won’t go to school without wearing a full face of makeup.

I was never this concerned with my image in high school. Is it too late to try to take back the reins? Smokey eyes have no place in the a.m. — Makeup Free, Dallas

“ Who do you think will win?" I asked Stan as he replaced the starter on my old beater. Stan watches all those cable TV shows about politics all day long at his garage, so I knew he'd have an informed opinion. It's a well known fact that the more TV you watch, the smarter you become.
The email was signed "Worried Wife," and contained a blunt version of a question Bronwyn Lea has heard many times while working with women in and around churches.
DEAR HARRIETTE: I have been looking for work for about a year. Throughout this period, I have been talking to a few close friends about my search, as they are also looking for work. Recently, one friend told me about a job she is interviewing for that seems perfect for me.
