SALARY AND BENEFITS ARE PRIME TOPICS FOR INTERVIEW

DEAR ABBY: My co-workers and I would like your opinion on
the following question: Is it appropriate to ask about the
salary during a job interview? Half of us say, "Yes. When
better to ask what the pay will be?" Others say, "No, it's
in poor taste." What do you think?
-- ALL BETS ARE IN

DEAR ALL: Of course the subject of salary should be dis-
cussed during a job interview. Usually, when an interview
is nearing its end, the interviewer will ask, "Do you have
any questions?" If the topics of salary and benefits haven't
come up before then, it's perfectly acceptable to inquire
about them.


DEAR ABBY: My husband of more than 20 years decided that the
grass was greener on the other side, and now I find myself
on the dating scene again. I had breast reduction surgery,
thinking I would be with my husband for the rest of my life.
Now I don't know how to bring up the subject if I find a man
with whom I want to be intimate.

I know a man should love me for who I am on the inside, but
I can't help but feel that the scars I carry on the outside
will make him turn and walk away. Not a day goes by that I
don't regret having had the surgery, but there is nothing I
can do about that now.

When do I tell the guy about my scars? I don't want this to
get in the way of sharing my life with someone.
-- SCARRED IN ARIZONA

DEAR SCARRED: Many women have had breast reductions -- some
for aesthetic reasons, but others because nature blessed
them with such an overabundance of tissue that it was
creating painful back and shoulder problems. The surgery is
neither shocking nor particularly unusual.

The time to discuss it is when you have gotten to know some-
one well enough that you can talk frankly with him and
explain that you feel self-conscious. No gentleman who cares
about you will ever walk away. And any man who does, you are
well rid of before investing your heart -- or anything else
-- in him.

DEAR ABBY: My husband, "Rick," and I have been married 20
years. He's a veteran who is completely disabled. We live in
a very secluded area. The nearest town is 60 miles away, and
I can't be gone long because of Rick's needs.

Abby, I'm lonely. My family lives in another state. Rick
said years ago that we would move to where my family members
are. But now he refuses because he doesn't want to leave his
comfort zone.

Some days I am more down than others. Our home is on the
market, but we won't be going far -- just a bit closer to
the town where Rick's family is. When I bring up the subject
of missing my relatives, Rick gets angry so I don't say
anything anymore. I long for my family -- and for many other
things as well. Could you share your feelings on this,
please?
-- NOWHERE IN MONTANA

DEAR NOWHERE: Gladly. Because your husband refuses to move
to where your family members are, keep your fingers crossed
that it won't be too long before you find a buyer for your
current home. Do move closer to his family. At least then
you won't be so isolated. And once you're closer to his
family, THEY can look out for him while you schedule some
visits to your family. If you go a couple of times a year,
it could make a big difference in your outlook.
