MAN WRAPPED UP IN GIRLFRIEND IGNORES HIS VISITING GRANDPA
DEAR ABBY: My wife and I were visiting our children and
grandson, "Rhett," age 24. Rhett is a college student who
lives at home. He had his girlfriend, "Peggy," who lives in
another town, at the house for the weekend.
Rhett and Peggy retired to his room early in the evening.
When we saw them at breakfast, they were, basically, uncom-
municative. Shortly after, they went to the backyard and
immediately climbed into the hammock, where they lay like
tightly wound dishrags for the next two hours until it was
time for us to leave. Our son and his wife did not awaken
them to say goodbye, so we concluded that they had been ex-
hausted by the previous night's activities.
Is this normal behavior in today's world? We realize that we
may be "old fogeys" by current standards, but isn't there any
line drawn anymore? My son and his wife acted like this was
all perfectly fine.
-- INVISIBLE GRANDPA IN ARKANSAS
DEAR GRANDPA: Whether Rhett's behavior -- and his parents'
tolerance of it -- is "fine" in today's world depends upon
the standards in that household. However, there are "family
manners" and "company manners." From your description of the
goings-on during your visit, and that no effort was made to
spend any quality time with you, I'd say your grandson's be-
havior was just plain rude.
That said, Rhett was not entirely to blame. Some fault lies
with your son and his wife for tolerating your being ignored
and not insisting that you be treated with more courtesy and
respect.

WAYFARER STYLE SUNGLASSES
Retail Price: $39.99
DEAL PRICE: $3.99
These classic and always popular Wayfarer style sunglasses have
never been more affordable. At $3.99 you'll want to stock up.
They are perfect for the beach or any activity. It's the Wayfarer
Style... your probably more familiar with it if I say Tom Cruise
in Risky Business, The Blues Brothers, Will Smith, etc...
Sunglass styles come and go but this style remains popular
and stylish. Two reasons for this:
1. Rugged and built to last. You won't have to worry about
anything flimsy or breaking off on these.
2. The lens color is very dark. It's so hard to find a real
dark pair of glasses anymore.
Drop them, toss them... they can take it! These will last you a
long, long time. To grab a pair or two, visit:

DEAR ABBY: My brother, "Jeff," has not communicated with any
of the family -- parents or siblings -- for two years. Nobody
knows why. We grew up a close-knit family with lots of love
and affection.
About six years ago, Jeff moved with his wife and children
to a different state. During the first few years, he stayed
in touch via phone calls and e-mails, but suddenly all com-
munication ceased. We know where he lives and have tried
contacting him through letters, phone calls and e-mails, but
he will not respond. Our parents are devastated and none of
us knows what to do.
We have so many questions: Is Jeff hiding something? Is he
ill? How are the children? What do we do, Abby? Please help.
-- FAMILY IN PAIN
DEAR IN PAIN: Because you have tried everything else, only
one thing is left. If at all possible, your parents and the
sibling who was closest to Jeff should schedule a visit to
the city in which he now resides and pay him a call.
DEAR ABBY: I married a man who owns a duplex with his mother.
When the taxes come due there are two sets -- one for each
side. The house is not habitable. It needs a lot of work to
get it ready.
My mother-in-law thinks her son should pay the taxes on both
sides, and also pay to fix up the place. Now that he has a
wife, his mother thinks I should help him pay for the house
and the taxes. But the deed is "survivorship" with him and
his mother. Why should I pay to get it fixed up when his mom
makes it clear that if something happens to her son, the
house is hers and hers alone?
