Dating boss's daughter,
but craving sex from ex
DEAR ABBY: Three
months ago, my longtime
!&gt;oyfriend, "Ma\ok," broke up
with me. We had planned to
be married. II took me a long
"time to get back to being my
old self.
Right after our breakup,
Mark began dating his boss's
daughter. I'll call her
"Carrie." I accepted it because
I care about Mark and want
him to be happy.
My problem is, for the past
month, Mark has called me
frequently in the middle of the
night to tell me he "misses
me" and how much he "continues to love me," He's even
said he still wants to marry
me.
Every time Mark calls, he
invites me to come over and
sleep with him. I have refused
because of Carrie. I feel sorry
for her.
Abby, I cannot imagine
being with a man who is still
in love with someone else.
'Should I tell Carrie what
-Mark is up to - or should I
stay out of it? I am awaiting
your reply. - MARK'S EX
DEAR EX: The first thing
you should do is fall on your
knees and give thanks that

Dear
Abby
ADVICE
you are no longer engaged to
this two-timing user. If you
are wise, you will stop all
contact with him. That said, if
you try to warn his boss's
daughter. she will probably
interpret it as jealousy and not
believe you. She needs to find
out about him on her own.
And when she does. Mark
will be looking for another
job and another gullible
woman.
DEAR ABBY: Our family
recently attended my daughter's high school graduation.
Seated next to us was a couple
who talked to each other during the entire commencement
- until the man's cell phone
began ringing. Then he continued to carry on a loud con'
versation over the phone .
Needless to say, it was a

major distraction for all of us
who were seated near him .
This is not the first time
such a thing has happened,
and I know it won't be the
last. People who talk while
others are trying to listen do
not seem to care that they're
disruptive and disrespectful.
This happens everywhere
nowadays - church, business
meetings. movies and plays.
Growing up, I was taught to
listen with respect and never
interrupt others.
I have tried to politely ask
the offender to "keep it
down," or have gotten up and
moved to a quieter location.
but sometimes it's impossible.
Has our society golten so
"me-oriented" that we· ve forgollen the common courtesy
of being quiet while others are
speaking·J Maybe you or your
readers can share what works
for them in order to stay calm
during situations like this. LOSING MY COOL IN
LYNCHBURG, VA.
DEAR LOSING MY
COOL: Cell phones are a
boon to many people. But
used thoughtlessly, they also
create very real problems. Of

observe the rules of common
courtesy and turn them off at
public events. And people
who converse on their cell
phones in public 'places
should remember to do so discreetly - not only because to
do otherwise is inconsiderate
of those around'them, but also
because they can unwittingly
reveal personal information
that could come back to haunt
them.

TUPPERS PLAINS , OH
- Jeffrey Baughman , 16,
took a used piece of furnitu re and transformed it into
a masterpiece he hopes will
win an award in the 4-H
judging th at took place
Friday at Eastern High
School.
Earlier
this
year,
Baughman
spotted
an
antique dining room table
with a light coat of dust at a
yard sale somewhere in
Meigs County.
Buyers ·came and went
until Baughman purchased
the table and started its
unique makeover.
" I wanted to do something
different," he said. ··1 wanted to do something original
and I like old things.''
Charles Frecker, a veteran
woodworking teacher for 31
years at M eigs High School,
was the judge. The results

wi ll not be released for
another co uple of days, but
Baughman is hopeful.
Weighing in at more than
100 pounds, Baughman 's
table was so large that
Frecker had to go outside to
judge it.
Baughman's
father,
Jeffrey, taught him the. fine

of family with their neighbors
and the Amish and Mennonite
communities. Those friends

claimed their home.
" Its been overw helm in ~

Theres.;·~id , "Everyone has
been so helpful ," She said
everyone living in Patriot has
contributed to helping the
family put their li ves back
together.
An Amish fam ily, Wes and
Verba Hershberger, have been
very helpful. She said the
Hershberger' s helped clean

and scrub the belonging s that
were saved.
Most of the family's possessions were sal vaged. Theresa
said people in ~he community
came and moved everything
out of the house for them . The
family was able to move into
a house next door, wh ich also
is owned by Shirley Miller,
the same person the fam ily
was renting from .
Theresa said th~ volunteer
firemen also were wonderful.
She said th ey were very
understanding and helpful.
She said .one firemen from
Rio Grande, Terry '.'Bear"
Hopkins came by later that .
evening to &lt;touble check that
the tire was out.
In addition to her neighbors,
Theresa's fellow employees at
Turnpik e were allowed to
leave work early by th eir
employer, John Sang, to hel p

the Spencers.
One possession, which was
particularly important to ;
Theresa, was an etching given
to her by her aunt, Gloria :
Adams. It hun~ on the wall in .
the stairwell. It was covered •
in soot and charred remains of
the attic.
She tried washing it off and
found it still intact. She will
have 19 replace the frame, but
it is a memory she can sti ll
cling to.

There"sa &gt;aid she lost her
winter clothes. Hogan l ost his

New coach, new season, but no Leftwich
Bv EDDIE Peu.s
Associated Press .
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - It's hard
to get a good quarterback controversy
going when one of the quarterbacks
isn't there. The Jacksonville Jaguars
reponed to training camp Frida~. but
first-round. draft pick Byron Leftwich
hasn't signed and is a holdout.
That means Mark Brunell and last
year's fourth-round pick, David ·
Garrard, will get most of the work
when pructice starts Saturday.

The team has a new
coach, Jack Del Rio,
and there are other
signs of big change
- · notably, Leftwich,
tlie
Marshall
University quanerback the Jaguars surprisingly drafted in
the seventh spot to
eventually replace
Leftwich
Brunell.
But with signing
bonuses for high first-round .picks
ranging in the $13 million area (the

ftfth pick. Terence Newman. received
a $13 million bonus spread over two
years from the Cowboys), the Jaguars
and Leftwich have some gaps to close.
The team reportedly opened negotiations at about $8 million.
"Some of these things are just emotional and it's insanity," owner Wayne
Weaver said. "I think somewhere
along the way, ~ou have to have the
resolve to be fatr, but do what's right
for your franchise."
Leftwich's agent, Tom Condon, left
town Friday without a deal. He did not
return messages left at his office by

The Associated Press.
Some draft experts said Leftwich,
not Carson Palmer, was the best quarterback coming out of college. The
Jaguars had plenty of holes to fill in the
offseason; and quarterback didn 't
appear to be one of them.
Still, Weaver, Del Rio and personnel
executive James Harris thought
Leftwich was too good to pass up.
When they picked him and couldn't
come to terms with a contract extension for Brunell - who has only one

Leiter, Mets down Reds

Colts agree to
deal with Sciullo,
two others

Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS &lt;AP)
The Indianapolis Coils have
agreed to terms with three
clra ft picks as they raced to
get all eight players signed
before training camp opens
Sunday.
Offensive linemen Steve
Sciu llo and Makoa Freitas
and
Iinebacker
Key on
Whiteside agreed to threeyear deals Thursday. Freitas'
dea l is worth a little more
than $950,000, but agents for
Sci ullo and Whiteside would
not discuss financial terms.
Colts team policy is not to
rele ase terms of contracts.
Whiteside is 6-foot, 229
pounds and was taken in the
fifth-rou nd from Tennessee.
Sciullo, a former Marshall
I ineman, is the Colts' highest
draft rick to agree to a contract. He was a fourth-round
pick and could compete for a
starting spot at guard thi s sea-

NEW YORK - AI Leiter pitched seven
scoreless innings to win for the first time
in more than a month as the New York
Mets beat the Cincinnati Reds 3-1 Friday
night.
Jose Reyes had three hits and scored
t.wice for the Mets. Leiter (9-5 ) allowed six
hits and two walks, ending his personal
three-game losing streak. He had not won
since June 18 at Florida.
Reyes scored on a throwing error in the
fourth and on Jason Phillips ' RBI single in
the eighth after his line drive to left was
misplayed into a triple by Brandon Larson .
New York scored single runs in the
fourth and seventh off Danny Graves (411 ), and shoddy fielding played a role both
times.
Cincinnati's Jose Guillen greeted reliever
Dan Wheeler with a solo homer, his 21st of
the season, leading off the eighth inning.
Mike Stanton relieved Wheeler and
earned his first save of the year by getting
six outs as the Mets improved to 4-0
against the Reds this season.
Graves allowed I I hits in eight innings
for a complete game.
Cincinnati, statistically the worst defen-

son.

Eric Metz said
was happy negotiations were finished and that
he was ready to battle for
playing time.
"He's looking forward to
getting a good shot at some
playing time this year," Metz
said.

sive team in
the majors,
gave the Mets
the game's
first run in the
fourth inning
with a throwing error by
first baseman
Adam Dunn
that enabled
Reyes to score.
.
Reyes opened the inning with a drag bunt
single and was running when Phillips hit a
chopper to third baseman Aaron Boone.
Boone threw out Phillips but Reyes raced
toward third and Dunn's throw return
throw sailed down the left-field line, allowing Reyes to score.
Vance Wilson was credited with an RBI
triple when his hit bounced past right fielder Guillen in the seve nth after Ty
Wigginton singled with one out.
Leiter pitched his way out of several
jams, with the Reds leaving eight runners
on in the first six innings as well as having
.
two thrown out stealing.
Leiter struck out Dunn to leave the bases
loaded in the third and got Guillen and
Dunn with two on in the fifth .
Wilson's triple ended an 0-for-29 slump.

PARKERSBURG, W.Va.

the Maso n County Legion
Team as they faced elimination in the Area 3 Tournament
after falling to Ritchie County
on Thursday. The local sluggers got out to a fast 3-0 stan

Mason County ended their
season with a I6- 12 loss and a

The game started extremely

dislocates ankle
CINCINNATI (AP)
Shortstop Felipe Lopez, sent
to the minors after struggling
with the Cincinnati Reds, had
surgery on Friday for a dislocated left ankle.
Lopez singled during the
second inning of Triple-A
Louisville's 7-3 victory at
Rochester on Thursday night.
He tried to score on Ryan
Freel's double, and hun the
ankle when he ran into catcher Brandon Marsters.
There was no indication
how long Lopez will be sidelined.
Lopez. 23, was dubbed the
team's shortstop of the future
after the Reds got him in an
offseason trade that cost them
top stli.rtcr Elmer Dessens.
Lopez was expected to take
over next season for 39-yearold Barry Larkin, who hopes
to return as a backup.

ADVICE
tell his sister and her husband
that after giving it careful
thought, you are unable to
make the kind of commitment
for which they are asking .
Explain that you are honored
they asked you, and will make
sure the children are provided
for -- but you cannot be the
primary caregivers.
DEAR ABBY: I am a 33year-old mother of two little
girls and a teenage stepson.
This is my second marriage. It
has lasted eight unhappy
years, but I've stuck it out.
My husband and I went to
counseling and tried all the
things you do when a relationship is failing; nothing has
worked.
Recently, I staned calling
"Paul,' ~ my high school sweetheart, and things are bloom. ing. We are both unhappy in
our marriages. We have told
each other we don't want to

fight.
Last weekend, my husband
and I took his folks on an
ovemig~t
trip for their
anniversary. They knew ahead
of time that it was our gift and
we were going to pay.
However, when we checked
out, the desk clerk told us the
rooms had "already been
taken care of."
How should we handle this
in the future, Abby? Should
we give up and allow Mom
and Pop IO'pay all the time?
,_ TIRED OF IT IN POM·
PANO BEACH, FLA.
DEAR TIRED OF IT:
Probably. Your in-laws regard
you and your husband as ''the
kids." They can afford it, and
they still see their role to be
providers. I'm sure they mean
no offense, but they probably
don't realize how heavy the
burden Of ~ratitude can weigh
after a whtle. Since you cannot change them. rather than
cause a scene, accept graciously and let it go.

Dear

give up what we have -- only
because we ' re both secure
and comfortable .
Paul and I haven't seen each
other since we were 18. (We
live on opposite coasts.) So
far, all we've done is talk on
the phone, but things are definitely heating up. What now,
Abby'? -UNHAPPY EAST
COAST WIFE
DEAR UNHA~PY WIFE:
Now it's time to realize that
you are no longer 18 - and
teenage · romances are highly
idealized. It is also time to
tally up what you both have to
lose, should this progress into
an affair. Before you make an
irrevocable mistake. and in
fairness to both of your spouses, go to another counselor
and try to get your marriage
back on track. This may not
be what yon want to hear, but
it's the best advice I can offer.
DEAR ABBY: My husband's parents are wonderful
people whom I've grown to
love in the 12 years I've been
married to their son. The
problem is, every time we go
out to dinner or stay overnight
somewhere, they insist on
paying for everything.
My in-laws have three
~rown children · with good
JObs. But every time the check
arrives, it becomes a major

DEAR ABBY: My husband, "Dan," and I have been
married for I0 years. We are
childless by cho1ce and happy
with our decision. Recently, at
a family gathering, Dan's sister put us on the spot by asking us to be the guardians of
her two small children should
anything happen to her and
her husband.
Dan agreed without discussing it with me. and I was
furious . The whole thing
made me very uncomfortable.
We talked it over, and Dan
confided that he wasn't comfortable with it either.
However, he thinks · we
shouldn't worry about some·
thing that probably won 't
happen .
Abby. if somelhing DID
happen to my sister-in-law
and her husband. it certainly
wouldn't be the right time to
anno11nce that Dan and I had
changed our minds about caring for their kids. Dan and his
sister come from a large family, so there's no shortage of
more qualified candidates.
What should I do? Should I
.Jgo along with my husband on
1his or put a stop to it now?RELUCTANT GUARDIAN

Tour de France

Ullrich cuts 2
seconds off ·
Armstrong's lead
Bv

JOHN LEicESTER

Associated Press
SAJNT-M.AIXENTL' ECOLE. France - Lance
Armstrong lost 2 seconds of
his lead over rival Jan Ullrich
in the Tour de France 's 18th
Stjjge Friday. setting up a
time-trial showdown for the
ti tie.
Ullrich, the 1997 champion
and four times the runner-up,
trimmed four-time winner
Armstrong's overall lead to
65 seconds with two davs left
in the cycling marathon~
UII rich earned a 4-second
bonus by finishing second in
an intermediate sprini during
Friday's 126.2-mile stage
from Bordeaux to this town in
west-central
France.
Armstrong was third in the
sprint. picking up 2 bonu s
seconds.
With the overall standings
so tight, the 2 seconds U!I rich
gained could be crucial. A,l
the least, they could give him
a morale boost ahead of the
time trial.
"It's not important losing 2
seconds. I don ' I thinR the
Tour will be decided by 2 seconds." Armstrong said.
Pablo Lastras of Spain tin- .
is hed tlrst in the stage at an·
average speed of 30.962 mph ,
making it the second-fastest
road stage in Tour history. He
~o mpieted the course in 4
flours, 3 minutes, 18 seconds.
Armstrong and. Ullrich finished in a large pack of riders
24:05 behind Lastras. saving
energ) for Saturday's crucial
cace against the clock to
Nantes.
: Armstrong is trying to join
Miguellndurain (1991-95) as
the only riders to win five

straight Tours. Nc1·er has
