By Gina Damron, Detroit Free Press | Nov. 19 at 6:36 a.m. Jerry Reiser married his high school sweetheart. But that ended after 14 years. A softball umpire introduced him to his second wife. That, too, ended in divorce. Then two years ago, Reiser — now 58 — decided he wanted another long-term relationship — but found singles dances weren't cutting it. He turned to online dating. Reiser quickly received more than 70 matches. He dated a handful of women from the online roster, but only one stood out — Debbie Kuzma. More than a year and a half after the two met, they were married.
Nov. 18 at 12:05 a.m. Dear Abby: I work in a candy store where things are pretty fast-paced and always busy. Please tell me how I should handle customers at the register — mothers and daughters, couples, friends — who fight over who should pay for the order.

Nov. 18 at 12:05 a.m. DEAR REV. GRAHAM: I suppose it's wrong to be angry at God but I can't help it. I had a stroke a few months back, and now the doctor says I'll never walk as well as I once did.

Nov. 17 at 12:06 a.m. Happy Birthday for Nov. 17, 2009: This year, possibilities occur through a very assertive person. That person could be you, and others could be reacting to your style.

By Linda Goldston, San Jose Mercury News | Nov. 17 at 7:01 a.m. SAN JOSE, Calif. —They met in college and knew instantly they were meant to be together.

Nov. 17 at 12:06 a.m. DEAR REV. GRAHAM: I believe in God, but where does Jesus fit into the picture? Why do I have to believe in Him, in addition to believing in God? —C.L.
Nov. 16 at 12:06 a.m. DEAR REV. GRAHAM: My brother and sisters don't have much to do with me because they're all real religious and I'm not. You'll probably tell me I need God, and maybe I do, but aren't Christians supposed to be kind and loving? They sure aren't that way with me, so why should I be like them? —R.M.
Nov. 16 at 12:06 a.m. Dear Abby: I work in a busy hospital with many patients from other countries. Our volunteer office collects magazines to distribute throughout the hospital for patients and visitors.
Nov. 16 at 12:06 a.m. Happy Birthday for Nov. 16, 2009: This year, you feel that you can make some powerful changes. Your birthday falls on a New Moon, signaling new beginnings in key chosen areas.

A fellow SCORPIO might read you too clearly!
Nov. 15 at 12:06 a.m. Dear Abby: On a Sunday afternoon in late September, I got hopelessly lost trying to find O'Hare Airport in Chicago.

He was Hispanic, and there was a bit of a language barrier, but he and his sister offered to lead me there.
Nov. 14 at 12:06 a.m. Dear Abby: I'm a 14-year-old boy. I went to a party last weekend and some people pressured me to do some uncomfortable stuff. Can you advise me — and other teens — how to handle peer pressure? —ASHAMED IN ILLINOIS
Nov. 13 at 12:04 a.m. DEAR REV. GRAHAM: Does God ever give up on some people? I have a cousin who just laughs whenever anyone starts talking about God, and he says he'll just take his chances when it comes time to die. Several of us in our family pray for him regularly but he looks like a hopeless case to me. —S.Y.
Nov. 13 at 12:04 a.m. Dear Abby: My neighbors, "John" and "Marcia," are such a nice couple, I'm not sure what to do. I don't know them all that well, but what's going on is extremely upsetting.

Nov. 12 at 12:07 a.m. DEAR REV. GRAHAM: I know Christmas is still some weeks away, but I'm already getting uptight about it.

You have probably received or given a few gifts of spirits and wine over the years, but just how long does it last? First of all, alcohol doesn't spoil. That means no expiration date for most distilled spirits. As a matter of fact, you're probably going to expire and become a spirit long before that unopened bottle of good scotch or rum does.
