WIFE CAN'T CONVINCE HUSBAND TO TIGHTEN HIS LOOSE LIPS
DEAR ABBY: Our family has had a difficult year. We have gone
from one drama or trauma to another, but have always managed.
There's one issue, however, that I can't fix. My husband,
"Arthur," can't keep our problems private. He seems compelled
to tell EVERYONE he meets about what's going on in our family.
I have told Arthur repeatedly, "What happens at home should
stay at home," and begged him not to take our problems to the
neighbors, who have enough of their own. It's embarrassing
when our friends, neighbors and extended family are informed
about the dramas going on in our home. But Arthur becomes
defensive when I tell him I don't like it and says he won't
stop -- that I'm being "too sensitive."
Abby, I feel my husband's blabbing is disloyal. I'm worried
that he is ruining our reputation because he can't keep his
mouth shut. Please help.
-- TOWN CRIER'S WIFE
DEAR WIFE: Your husband may be looking for attention or sym-
pathy. He also appears to lack good judgment and impulse
control, and does not understand what consequences his
"blabbing" might bring.
However, I can't muzzle him and neither can you. It may bring
small comfort to remember that these days people are so pre-
occupied with their own problems they are likely to be less
judgmental about your drama and trauma.

The Tastes and Colors of Provence Cookbook
Good Cooking... Good Travels... Good People...
List Price: $12.99
DEAL PRICE: $2.99
This is one of the most unique cookbooks you'll ever own.
It's not just filled with recipes it is a guided tour of
the Provence of France.
People spend thousands of dollars to attend a full week at
Sylvie Lallemand's Provencal Cooking School. This book allows
you to experience a typical week at the cooking school AND the
actual recipes they cook.
You'll also enjoy 12 full-color water color prints by Sylvie...
and she's quite the artist too!
You'll even get some recipes from some of her favorite regional
restaurants.
This little book is packed with so much... after reading it
and of course trying out some of the recipes you'll feel like
you've been been on a journey to France.

DEAR ABBY: I am a single mother finishing my undergraduate
degree in English. I have a 6-year-old son. His father,
"Gil," and I are on great terms. We kept everything out of
the courts, and he pays me monthly child support. Gil sees
our son whenever he likes, which is often.
I have an opportunity to go to law school 200 miles away,
and I'm considering leaving my son with his dad to do so.
I have no problem taking him with me, but as parents we
thought that uprooting our son for three years was not a
good idea.
I am doing this for my son. I come from a poor family, and
I am the first to graduate from college. A liberal arts
degree won't afford me much in the future. Gil's income is
"fair," but neither of us has any real security.
I trust Gil when he gives me his word on an agreement. Many
of my friends are supportive, but some of the stay-at-home
moms are making me feel like a terrible person and mother.
Would I be selfish to do this or should I continue with my
plans for a better income and career?
-- GNAWING UNCERTAINTY IN WASHINGTON STATE
DEAR UNCERTAIN: Stop listening to the criticism and proceed
with ensuring a bright future for you and your boy. As long
as you can spend time with your son during school breaks and
during the summer months, I see no reason why you should not
get your law degree. But there should be a clear written
agreement between you and Gil that the arrangement is only
temporary, and it's important your son understand that your
absence is not because he has done anything to cause it.
And now, Dear Readers, I am pleased to continue the tradition
of offering the Thanksgiving Prayer that was penned by my
dear mother, Pauline Phillips. No Thanksgiving would be com-
plete for me without it.
Oh, Heavenly Father,
We thank thee for food and remember the hungry.
We thank thee for health and remember the sick.
We thank thee for freedom and remember the enslaved.
May these remembrances stir us to service,
That thy gifts to us may be used for others. Amen.
Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving, everyone! -- Love, ABBY
