Dear Abby: Twice his age, she'll be sad about the boy one day

DEAR ABBY: I am a widow with eight children. The oldest is 21 and the youngest is 10. My husband was killed a year ago and it hit me awfully hard. Here is my problem. I’m in love. I am 40 and the kid I’m in love with is 21. (He’s a friend of one of my children.) We didn’t intend to get serious —it just happened, and now we have this love affair going. He moved into my house about a month ago. I loved my husband very much, but he is gone and I need someone to love. Do you think there is any future in this love affair? IN LOVE IN NEW MEXICO DEAR IN: 1 could be wrong, but 1 can’t see much of a future for you and your young lover. Not so much because of the vast age difference, but because of the emotional state you were in when the affair took root. Of course you need someone to love —we all do. But for your sake and his, 1 think the kid should move out of your house and you should move toward men your own age. DEAR ABBY: A woman in our office is freaking us out with her humming. When she concentrates she hums one low monotonous note. This can go on continuously for as long as two hours or more without a break. When I call her attention to the maddening distraction, she quits for a while, then resumes humming again until I could scream. Others have told her, too. Nothing helps. Her humming

has got me so crazy I sometimes can hear it when it’s not there. She’s a nice person otherwise, and she’s old enough to be my mother, so I don’t want to be rude or rough. Please help me and my co-workers. GOING BANANAS DEAR GOING: She has undoubtedly developed the humming habit over the years and now hums unconsciously. But habits are learned and can be unlearned, so the moment the hummingbird starts her song, remind her that she’s distracting you. And keep reminding her. DEAR ABBY: I’ve been thinking about the letter from L. IN DENTON, TEXAS who couldn’t figure out how come his wife knew how to make love so well if she was a virgin when she was married. Well, I, too, was a virgin when I married but my husband wasn’t, and with all his previous experience, he didn’t know peanuts compared to what I taught him! I didn’t learn it anywhere. I just followed my natural in stincts and did whatever I felt was right. It seemed to come naturally. I was blessed with parents who always showed affection for each other and never hid the fact that making love was a normal, healthy part of married life, so when I married it never occurred to me to hold back my sexual feelings. I just expressed them. NEVER HAD A LESSON IN MY LIFE

, CONFIDENTIAL TO “T.B. IN WASH., D.C.”: A very wise Frenchman said: “Beauty is a gift. Charm must be cultivated. A beautiful woman is one / notice. A charming woman is one who notices me.” We can learn a lot from the French. DEAR ABBY: Among my acquaintances is a 66-year-old widow who has suddenly announced that a “distant cousin" has come from Canada to live with her. She claims he is her age (he looks much younger) and recently lost his wife. This friend says she feels much more secure with a man in the house. She owns her own home, they drive her car, and all he seems to do is drive her around and help with the household chores. She claims they share expenses, but I heard from a reliable source that her bills are still paid by HER personal check. Her home has only two bedrooms. One she had converted into a sewing room. After her “cousin" moved in, I noticed hat the sewing room is still a sewing room, which means hey both share her bedroom. When people ask if they have plans for marriage, she laughs and says, "We are cousins!” What do you make of this setup? FRIENDLY NEIGHBOR DEAR NEIGHBOR: I think every 66-year-old widow should be so lucky. Now, what’s YOUR problem?
