‘Straight Up’ with Steve Austin, the bartender
Steven: My fiance and I are both 26, in
good health, have lots of friends, and
have been living together for two years.
I'm an interior designer and he's a psy
chologist. Our problem: Jack was in an
auto accident last March and lost his
left leg. He's dealing with his handicap
very well. We recently set a wedding
date for next June. Everyone is wonder
fully supportive except for my parents.
They belike his handicap will prevent
him from being a total husband, what
ever that’s supposed to mean. Before the
accident we were all best of friends.
Now, they find every excuse to avoid
visiting us. We are going to get married,
no matter what anyone says. But what
do we have to do to convince my folks
Comic relief
My tenth-grade English students had
spent several weeks on their research
papers, and the moment of truth had
arrived — the papers were due. I knew
that Gene had not been working very
hard on the assignment and that it
probably would not be up to standard.
When I went to collect it from him, he
said, “My dog ate it."
I had heard that excuse dozens of
times, so I gave him my best
intimidating-teacher glare.
that Jack’s handicap hasn't changed the
intensity of our love? In fact, it has
brought us even closer. We want their
blessings. Please help. Confused
Daughter
Dear Cmfined: It sure sounds like a
lousy mess. The key here is to get them
over to your house for dinner or just a
friendly get-together. If they cannot,
then realize that your love is as strong
as ever and youll just have to accept
them for what they are and go on. That
would be sad. It's possible the upcoming
wedding will knock some sense into
them. Let’s hope so. Good luck.
Steven: I recently read a story about a
woman who collects umbrellas from all
“It’s true,” he insisted. “I had to force
him, but he ate it.”

goof or was he just being a wise guy?

Dear H.M.: Most people don't show up
for an interview looking like they just
came from a wedding. Next time, wear
an outfit that’s suited for the work you’ll'
be doing if hired. I’m not saying you
should show up in an apron and chefs
hat, but an unobtrusive, clean pair of
slacks and a casual shirt should be fine.
