Dear Abby: Relatives come home late after failing to warn me

Relatives come home late after failing to warn me

Out of courtesy, I let them know where I’m going, whom I’ll be with, and if I am likely to be out late.

If I wake up and they aren’t home, I worry.

To expect to be told where your older brother and adult son are going and with whom seems like a lot of information to demand.

[...] being informed what time they will be back so you won’t think someone is breaking in would be not only thoughtful but also practical.

Dear Abby: I suffer from severe seasonal allergies.

Calling attention to my difficulties, frankly, just annoys and embarrasses me.

Can you please ask your many readers to end this ancient, silly convention and let those of us with allergies suffer in peace?

The “God bless you” convention originated in the Middle Ages.

People thought that when someone sneezed the soul left the body for a minute, and would be snatched by the devil if someone didn’t say “God bless you.”

After becoming engaged recently, I was excited to ask my best friend to be my bridesmaid.

[...] her husband can’t stand the thought of her getting dolled up and walking down the aisle after the ceremony with another man.

Would it be best for her to just attend the wedding?
