    • One of today's letters:

      DEAR ABBY: I'm in my 20s and work as a cashier in a convenience store. One of my regulars recently won the lottery.

      I am newly married and have a 7-month-old. We live with my in-laws, and we're dying to get our own place.

      The lottery winner is somewhat good-looking, but about 20 years older than I am. Abby, he propositioned me -- if you know what I mean. He offered a large sum of money, which would help my family get our own place.

      I'm confused. What do I do? -- DESPERATELY SEEKING MY OWN PLACE IN TEXAS

      DEAR DESPERATELY SEEKING: You're not confused; your customer is. He may have won the lottery, but he's a loser. You are a cashier, not a prostitute. Tell him there are some things money can't buy -- and one of them is YOU.

        She still hasn't redeemed herself yet.

        Oh, and that letter? Has to be fake, no one recently and happily married would even consider screwing that over for money. Unless they are a gold digger or something.

            • Yeah, so I've been MIA for about a month now. I don't read Dear Abby so I had no idea that this stupid lady is out there giving people bad advice. I sent a letter as well.

                Dear Abby
                In response to Nicki in Maryland (March 23rd). Abby I would be ashamed to admit to anyone in public that you write for a advice column. You say it's okay to tell people not to touch you if you're pregnant, if you're growing out a pony tail for a good cause to ask people to stop tugging their hair, to leave service animals to their jobs and you have the audacity to tell this lovely person to suck it up or quit? Dear lady, your advice was faulty. At the very least you could have offered a polite way of requesting customers not to touch her. Loosing a single customer will not hurt any business because it's just that. ONE customer.
                You shame other advice givers with such nonsense. How can you be so cruel?

                    Don't discount the power of desperate and stupid.

                          • You know.... it's actually kind of sad if you think about it. You get bad advice.... you think you're on your own and were wrong because of it.... months later you might (if you're still reading) find out that you were right all along and the advice was bad.
