I’ve been friends with this girl for years but now we hardly talk. When her husband drinks he hits on other girls. I’ve seen him. Should I tell his wife? Perplexed Dear Perplexed, I’m sorry your friendship is no longer flourishing. This is very common when people’s circumstances change in life. Your friend now has a new life with the guy she chose. His weasel style behavior is unfortunate but you aren’t the casual observer either. I suggest you wish her well and move on with your life. The right guy will come along for you too some day. You also have the option to stay in touch by writing to one another. Try it out but I suspect that hubby isn’t too keen on you because he knows you aren’t too keen on him. Did he reject you once? Even if not he will protect his turf at all costs. Things change in life. Get used to it. Move on. Al Dear Boomer Al, I met a great girl on vacation but we live six hours apart. She wants to try and make it work. I told her that I’ve been down that road before and it doesn’t work. Any advice? Torn Dear Torn, The only thing torn here is the old hotel receipt. You have no intention of continuing the vacation fling so you want me to tell you how to tell her you weenie. Try this. Dear pudding pop. You made for a swell time at the vacation fling but all those things I said were to see what I could get. I thought you understood that? I have no intention of driving six hours to sit in your living room watching TV or meeting your folks. You have to be kidding. What are you from Cleveland or something? You could also try a note and appropriate gift thanking her for the swell time and try writing a bit. Somehow I think the first answer is up your alley. I could be wrong. I would have climbed the Himalayas to be near the one I loved at your age. She’s obviously not the one. Al PS; Maddie has a cool perspective on things! Coffee With Maddie Extra cash and gasoline discounts too. Very easy. Check it out. Keep Out! Weenie Danger Zone! _.·´¯)What's up with this?(¯`·._ Do you see where Gore is actually acting like a candidate for President again? I think he's mistaken if he thinks he has any shot at the nomination this time around. The state of health insurance is at crisis proportions here in Florida. Blue Cross is dropping hospitals as hospitals are dropping HMO's. If there was ever a case for some type of national intervention I think it's upon us. I read this week that companies are dropping retired folks' insurance coverage and that the VA is dropping coverage for many veterans because they don't have the funds. Know why? The democrats would rather balance the budget. Can't fight the war on terror and take care of vets too. Our history of caring for our veterans has nowhere the record that our fighting men have earned. It's a national disgrace. We can afford to do better. Say something! Just my opinion. Don't like it? So tell me off at ... The Forum at Boomer Journals _.·´¯) Boomer Ha Ha! (¯`·._ The average man's life consists of twenty years of his mother asking him where he was going; forty years of his wife asking where he was going; and at the end all the mourners are wondering too. _.·´¯)Attitude Counts! (¯`·._ The days of my life continue to pass me by oh so quickly. One cannot help but reflect when you see the state of people's attitudes in this day and age. I'm one of the naive types by choice. My assumption is routinely that all people are basically OK if they are given a chance. I'm happy by choice. Not because my life is so hot. I met two women this week in the course of my endevors. They were not the kind of people I would have chosen to spend an evening with conversing about the state of life. They were very bitter negative types who can improve a room by their departure. I really tried but they didn't care. It still amazes me that, despite the fact that we can choose our attitude at all times in all situations, so many people choose to be miserable and confrontational. One lady said to me that she trusts noone. That means she can't be trusted either. She doesn't get it and probably never will. You are as you think. Being a loser is self induced.
