the dish and spoon
Dear Spoon,
My newfound boyfriend and I are getting along very well, except for the
fact that his ex-girlfriend is constantly calling and paging him when we’re trying to
spend quality time together. She’s threatening me and causing me to lose trust in
my boyfriend’s loyalty. My boyfriend has made it very clear to her that he doesn’t
want to date anymore, but he does want to remain friends, but she won’t listen. I
don’t want to give up my boyfriend, and I don’t want to tell him that he can’t be
friends with her. What should I do?
Who is this 1982
teacher at
NCSSM???

Dear Jane Doe,
1 am really sorry that you have had to put up with this from your boyfriend.
I know he is not meaning to hurt you, but he is. First, let me ask you something.
Does he know that you are bothered by this? If so, then if he really cared about
you, he would do everything in his power to make sure that you were more comfort
able in this situation. If he does not know, then you need to tell him. If you have
told him and he is not doing anything to make the situation better, then you need
have a serious talk with him. Tell him that while you do not want to make him give
up his friend, you are very uncomfortable and he needs to do something about it. 1
hope this situation clears up for you.

Capricorn (Dec. 21 -Jan. 19)
Be wary of sudden changes in mood for
you could make a rash decision that you might
regret later on. Your soul may feel a bit rest
less, but be sure you address the real prob
lem or you might complicate things further.
Even with all the confhsion this month your
financial situation improves mid-month. Be
sure that the party responsible for this sud
den increase in cash flow knows their impor
tance.
Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 20)
Flying away may seem like the best al
ternative to all the hectic everyday routines
that seem to be bogging you down this month,
but in this instance the best strategy may be to
face up to the situation. With your head high,
you will at least know what is going on around
you. Good news from afar may put your life
back on course by the 24th.
Cancer (June 22- July 22)
The world will fall at your feet this
month as you put to good use the talents you
posses. A few good decisions and slight sac
rifices at the beginning of the month will pay
off in big ways by the end of the month. A
budding romance could be in the cards for
you as long as you don’t overanalyze the situ
ation allow things to happen in the moment.
Libra (Sept. 24- Oct. 23)
You’ll want to scream off a balcony at
the beginning of the month but, not to worry,
that could be exactly what the doctor ordered.
You may not exactly thrive off stress, but it
will force you to you to put in order the life
that you have noticed is getting more and
more chaotic by the moment. By the end of
the month things will calm down and you
can focus on more important projects.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Problems with friends in far away plaees
may start to pull you in too many directions at
one time. Assuming you are able to dodge the
quickly falling debris, you will come out alright.
Take a trip mid-month to clear your head and
your bank account. Modest soul that you are,
you might feel bad about indulging yourself but
trust me, in some cases indulgence feeds the
soul.
Pisces (Feb. 19- Mar. 20)
“First things and final conform but sel
dom.” —Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
Keep that in mind this month as you enter
your daily routine with expectations that have
the possibility of not being fulfilled. It will
work out in the end somehow, and that result
is for the best, so just take it as it comes.
Taurus (Atr. 21-May 21)
Conflicts between lovers or fnends may
seem to make you falter this month, but re
member to keep your best interests in mind.
Resolution will be served to your conflicts
around the 16th. Keep the stars in your eyes
so as not to let the daily grind force your cre
ative outlets into the wings.
Gemini (Mav22-Juiie21)
Some much needed time to unwind will
not be wasted. Your playful moods of late will
soon be put to good use. All the while, how
ever, make sure to keep present goals in mind,
they could be fulfilled in a way you least ex
pected. Watch for Cupid’s arrow to strike
around the 13th.
Leo (July 23- Aug. 23)
Around the 4th a momentous turning point
in the way you perceive not only yourself, but
those around you will shed some light on some
of the confusion that has been surrounding your
life as of late. Though things won’t turn out the
way you planned, accept that and move on. There
is nothing that you can do about things that hap
pened in the past, only influence things in the
future.
Vilgo (Aug. 23- Sept. 24)
Your closest friends are, of course, the
ones who have the most bearing in your life.
This month, however, remember that they are
not the only ones. Pay close attention to those
you know, but do not know well, for they hold
much promise in your future. Now is a good
time to reevaluate not only your values, but
minor details of your life that could in the fu
ture directly affect your current goals.
Scorpio (Oct. 24- Nov. 22)
The month may open on a rather dull
note, but remember that old saying: good
things come to those who wait. By mid-month
things between a good friend or potential
mate will reach a point of no return. After
this point good conununication is key to keep
ing this turning point on a positive note be
cause it could easily turn sour.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23- Dec. 20)
You feel as though you are spinning in
circles this month and all the repetition of
scenery is making you dizzy. This may be a
sign from the heavens to get off the merry-
go-round and do a little something out of the
ordinary. Try something that you have
wanted to do for a while. You won’t be disap
pointed.
