Husband with fatal disease determined to enjoy life nowear Abby: Myhusband, who is55, has been diag-nosed with Picks
disease, or frontotemporaldementia. His prognosis isfrom two to seven years -only God knows. We arehandling this with better-than-average concern. It ishis diabetes that everyonekeeps going on about. Heson medication and his dia-betes is under control.
My problem is, I let myhusband eat whatever hewants within reason. Ifwere out to dinner and hewants ice cream, or asksme to buy him his favoritelemon cookies, I dontargue. When people tellme I shouldnt do that, myhusband replies that he isalready dying, so whyshouldnt he enjoy his lifenow?
He still enjoys baseballand taking our grand-daughter to the zoo. He isstill mobile and, in fact,has recently lost 45pounds. People dontunderstand his attitude,but he is right. He ISdying, and I am letting himenjoy his final years. Am Iwrong for doing this? I
want himto enjoywhat hecan now, asthere willcome atime whenhe cant. -Loves Himin Nebras-ka
DearLoves Him:
Please accept my sympa-thy for your husbandsdiagnosis. As someonewho also believes in quali-ty of life rather than quan-tity, I see nothing wrong inallowing him those pleas-ures he enjoys. For yourhusband, the countdown tozero has begun. You areboth being rational andrealistic. Clarify that factfor the naysayers or ignorethem.
Dear Abby: I am awoman who suffers fromsyncope. I become light-headed whenever I musthave blood drawn or aneedle prick - it doesntmatter which. My physi-cian and her nurse alwaysaccommodate me by allow-ing me to lie down duringthese procedures, and con-
sequently I have neverfainted.
However, if I go else-where for a procedure, as Irecently did to a free med-ical screening, after tellingthe medical personnelabout the syncope, thereactions I typicallyreceive range from a looklike I have two heads tocomments like: Oh, thiswill be real quick; youwont feel a thing, Dontwatch or Think of some-thing else.
Well, I did experience anepisode of syncope duringthat last screening, and itwas very embarrassing.Why wont medical per-sonnel LISTEN to what apatient tells them? Whoknows my body betterthan I do? - Synco-Peevedin the South
Dear Synco-Peeved:Believe me, I empathize.However, free screeningscan be as jam-packed as acasting call for AmericanIdol. Overwhelmed med-ical personnel may not beable to accommodatesomeone who has specialneeds. Thats why itsimportant when you hearcomments such as those
you mentioned that youinsist on being helped bysomeone who understandswhat the implications ofsyncope are. You mayhave to wait a bit longer,but it may prevent a black-out.
Dear Abby: Should amother call her son if he isa father to wish him aHappy Fathers Day? -Andrietta in New York
Dear Andrietta: Thatwould be a nice gesture.He qualifies.

If today is your birthday: New ambitionscould be awakened in you in the year ahead,such as a strong and powerful desire to scalenew heights. These inclinations can befulfilled if your methods are practical and yourmeans are effective.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) It behooves youto try to reduce your expenses when it comesto nonessential interests. If you really meanbusiness, you wont make any purchases orcommitments that you cant afford.CANCER (June 21-July 22) Be able to
determine the difference betweenaggressiveness and assertiveness.Attempting to bulldoze your way throughsituations that affect your career will onlymake matters worse.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Dont be so quick tobelieve everything that you hear. Informationthat comes to you from questionable sourcescould be distorted or biased, or both.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) If you hope toprofit in some manner at the expense ofanother, you had better examine yourmotives and have one heck of a goodreason. Operating along the wrong lineswill de rail you.LIBRA(Sept. 23-Oct. 23) When in apartnership arrangement, have a clear-cutunderstanding in advance as to who isresponsible for what. Without any groundrules, the venture could veer off course,leaving everyone in the woods.SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Fail to
approach your work in a positive manner andyoull make what you have to do much moredifficult then it actually is. Make sure that everydetail is covered, but smile while doing so.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) If youknowingly go against the odds, dont besurprised if you have to pay theconsequences. Lady Luck isnt likely to bearound when you need her the most.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Letsleeping dogs lie and dont bring up any old,unresolved domestic issues when everyone istrying to relax. It could open Pandoras box.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Even if youthink the criticism youre offering is veryconstructive, the recipient of your remarksmight feel differently, and deeply resent yourinput. Judge not, lest ye be judged.PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Financialconditions are likely to be a mixed bag for youat this juncture. On one hand, your earningslook promising, but on the other hand, your
extravagances may go completely unchecked.ARIES (March 21-April 19) There is likely tobe far too much outside interference for youto do your job as smoothly as you like.Throwing a fit wont solve a thing, but it canmake matters worse.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If you allowyourself to be influenced by past events, itcould put a damper on fresh developments.Obsessing over yesterdays only inhibits newsuccesses.

Winston Churchill said,Courage is what it takes tostand up and speak;courage is
also what it takes to sit downand listen.
It can be courageous (cor-rect) to stand up or sit down(playhighor low)at the bridgetable. Which is right in thisdeal? South is in three no-trump. West leads fourth-highest from his longest andstrongest, the heart five. Eastwins with his ace and returnsthe nine, the higher of two re-maining cards. What happensnow?
North opened with a weaktwo-bid, showing a respecta-ble six-card suit and 6 to 10high-card points. South bidwhat he thought he couldmake.
When in no-trump, alwayscount your top tricks, your im-mediate winners. Here, Southhas seven: three spades, onediamond and three clubs.There are four or five moretricks available from the dia-monds. What is the danger tothe contract?
If the hearts are 5-3 and thediamond finesse is losing, thedefenders might take one dia-mondand fourhearts.
At trick two, many Souths
would stand up, playing theheart queen. But then theyshould go down if West knows
to sit down, ducking the trick.
Then, when East gets in withhis diamond king, anotherheart lead defeats the con-
tract. Instead, at trick two,South should sit down, play-ing his other low heart. He re-
tains a stopper and b reaks thecommunication between thedefenders.
South should think aboutstanding up and sitting downat trick two. Analyzing bothshould result in his finding therightchoice.
