DgSI" Abby: Woman with pair of suitors wants best of both worlds

DEAR ABBY: I wrote to you a few years ago when my marriage was breaking up. The advice you gave me was better than that of all the psychotherapists I paid a fortune for. Now I have another dilemma. Recently, I met two great men within the same week. One is an absolutely gorgeous, 6-foot-2, 35-year-old lawyer divorced. He has class, intelligence and money. He says he loves me and treats me like a queen. He lives an hour from me. The other one is 30 (I’m 29) and lives right around the corner from me. We spend every minute we can together watching sports on TV, cooking, etc. We get along famously.

Abigail Van Buren

He’s a blue-collar worker, has money, but he’s only average looking. He says he loves me. He’s

great company, yet when the lawyer calls, I try to get my neighbor out of the way so I can see the lawyer. I am in love with both these men in different ways. I’m a professional, no children, attractive and addicted to love. I want both of them. Help! DILEMMA IN N.Y. DEAR DILEMMA: Every young woman should have your problem. You say you “want” both of them. Well, you have both of them. You don’t say whether you’re being pressured by either one for an exclusive commitment. (Are you?) If you reach that point, don’t settle for

either one while you’re still seesawing. When you’re ready to make an intelligent choice, you won’t ask for advice. * * * DEAR ABBY: You recently stated that a full colonel has a “chicken” on his shoulder. No, no, Abby! A full colonel has an eagle on his shoulder. You may recall the old military song: “Would you rather be a colonel with an eagle on your shoulder or a private with a chicken on your knee?” Please apologize, and sign me “Old Railroad Tracks.” CAPT. CORTEZ,

DEAR CAPT. CORTEZ: Error acknowledged and apology rendered for a fowl mistake. However, there is more to apologize for (same letter): I identified the silver leaf worn on the shoulder of the lieutenant colonel as a maple leaf. Wrong again. It’s an oak leaf. * * * DEAR ABBY: Every once in a while, you let a reader air his pet peeve in your column. Here’s mine: It’s people who always finish other people’s sentences. Don’t they realize it’s rude? FRUSTRATED IN GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COLO.

December 16,1987 THE BANNERGRAPHIC

DEAR FRUSTRATED: Sentence finishers are usually quick-thinking, impatient, verbal types who finish other people’s sentences impulsively. The “rudeness” is unintentional. Call it a lapse of good manners. * * * Don’t put off writing thank-you notes, letters of sympathy, etc. because you don’t know what to say.
