The 543rd reason I love (the new) Dear Abby

This morning's final letter to Jeanne:

DEAR ABBY: I am 19, going on 20. My boyfriend, "Alex," is 28. We have been together for about two years and are completely happy together.

The only problem is Alex says he never wants to get married or have kids -- ever. I have never pushed the issue, and I don't plan on marriage or kids for a long time. But am I wasting my time going with someone who doesn't want the same things as I do in the end? -- CONFUSED IN OHIO

DEAR CONFUSED: Yes

One of the earlier answers to a teenager whose friends are pressuring him to smoke up before school is extremely well put- it doesn't say that pot is a gateway drug or that it'll kill him, but that if he goes to school stoned, he'll be jeopardizing his chances of graduating. Yep. I do appreciate the lady.

That time of year: heart shaped tins

Last year I totally failed to find a single heart-shaped tin around Valentine's Day.
I request that if anyone sees any, let me know. I'm determined to get one. Even if I have to buy it and thow away eat the contents. Well, not so determined if they're very expensive, but a few bucks? Why not.
