Unwanted fash

DEAR ABBY: I am a 28-year-old,
reasonably attractive woman. I dress
stylishly and wear subtle makeup.-I
am. very nearsighted and wear
glasses because I can’t tolerate hard
or soft contact lenses. (Believe me, I
have tried.)

Abby, it infuriates me when men
(whether they are dates or not), ca
sual acquaintances or co-workers
think I should feel complimented
when they say, “You'd be much
prettier without your glasses.”

I am sometimes tempted to say,
“And you'd be even more handsome
with a little more hair on your head
— or less padding around your
middle.” Or, “You'd be a much nicer
person if you had better manne

Abby, please tell these oafs to
look in a mirror before they start

DEAR WELL-ADJUSTED:

defense is a good offense.”

thor Letty Cottin Pogrebin:“Men
who never make passes at
women with glasses are asses.”

DEAR ABBY: Until late last fall,
Iwasa registered voter in Clackamas
County, Oregon. After you urged

people to yote, I decided to re-regis
ter after Ranging my address to the
local jail where I am being held
pending trial, since address changes
need to be recorded per Oregon law

The response I received was a

hed to a photocopy that
1 am unable to process your
registration until you have com
pleted your sentence.” It was at-
tached to a copy of a citation of Or
egon law that, ineffect, stated that a
person with a felony conviction loses
the right to vote durin, the term of
imprisonment.

As “Illinois Voter” stated (in your
column), “Ifeach community made it
easier to vote, more people would
vote.”

It took letters to the Elections
Division, assistant county attorney
and Clackamas County Clerk, as well
as secretary of state and then-Gov
Elect Barbara Roberts — but I con-
tinue to be a registered voter as of
Dec. 17, 1991, as the laws of the state
and the nation provide

Civil rights for all! What do you
say, Abby? — NO. 90-2310

DEAR “90”: Convicted felons
are denied the right to vote, but
one is presumed innocent until
proven guilty.

DEAR ABBY: I hope that by
printing this letter it will make
other parents do some serious
thinking-about-their_relationships
with their teens.

daughter and the daughter's 16-year-
old girlfriend spent two hours talk-

year-old is thinking about having
sex with her boyfriend. While I cer-
tainly did not encourage it, I did talk
openly about safe-sex practices and
birth control. I also explained why it
would be better if she waited until
she-is older and more mature
What bothers me the most is, why
aren't these girls talking to their own
mothers? The girls are friends of my
teen-aged sons — that is how they
know me
Abby, it isn’t my place to talk to
them about these things, but since
I'm the only one they trust, I won't
betray them. My sons and I are very
open with each other, and we discuss
everything they have on their minds.
I wish more parents would listen
to their kids — even if what the kids
say may shock and dismay them
Parents shouldn't judge — they
should just be there for their children.

lucky for
for them.

Unfortunately, not all parents
are comfortable talking to their
teens about safe-sex practices
and birth control. Some may
even resent the fact that their
children are getting information
from a neighbor (you) that they,
their own parents, would be re-
luctant to give them.

Isay, ifkids ask — they are old
enough to know. What our chi
dren don’t know can hurt them.

n that youare there

DEAR ABBY: | am writing to you
for advice about a dilemma that I
never thought would happen to me.
Several months ago, I asked a girl to
attend the high school prom with me.
She didn’t say yes, but she didn't say
no either. A couple of weeks later, I
asked her again, and she was very
evasive. Tired of her games, I asked
another girl and she said yes right
away. When the first girl found out
that I had asked someone else to the
prom, she became moody and dis-
tant. Then I found out through the
grapevine that she had bought a
prom dress on the assumption that
she was going with me

many people think AIDS is a vene
real disease — which it is not.”

Abby, I am the manager of the
AIDS Education Project at Califor-
nia State University, Sacramento.
Please advise your readers that AIDS
isa sexually transmitted disease (the
term “venereal disease” was phased
out several years ago).

AIDS can be transmitted through
an infected person by one of three
ways: t) sex (without protection),
including penis to vagina, penis to
mouth, penis to rectum, mouth to
vagina, mouth to rectum, or sharing
sex toys; 2) direct blood-to-blood
contact, including sharing hypoder:
mic needles, tattoo equipment, sex
toys or razor blades; 3) infected
mothers may pass the virus to their
unborn babies during pregnancy,
delivery or through breast feeding.

People who believe that AIDS
cannot be transmitted through sex
are operating without clear and ac
curate information. AIDS is a non-
discriminatory, equal-opportunity
sexually transmitted disease.

I have no for her. Her
indefinite replies left me second-
guessing, so I asked somebody else.
Now several people seem to think
that i am_at fault. The way I see it,
since I asked her twice without get-
ting-a_definite response, I think I
should be allowed to ask somebody

else. Am I right?
SELF-DEZENSE

DEAR SELF-DEFENSE: You
are absolutely right, beyond a
shadow of a doubt!

DEAR ABBY: Recently you ran a
letter from “Helen in K.C” that raised
the issue of whether or not to include
AIDS as the cause of death in an
obituary. One statement in that letter
concerned me deeply, so I hope you
will print this in order to correct the
misinformation

The sentence: “Due to ignorance,

’Tis the season to
celebrate and share glad
tidings of joy. May this
wonderful holiday
season bring you the

best of everything.

that concerns you
concerns me even more because
acrucial word was inadvertently
omitted. The sentence, “Due to
ignorance, many people think
AIDS is a venereal disease —
which it is not,” should have read:
“Due to ignorance, many people
think AIDS is exclusively a
Royster

which it is not.”
