Woman won’t let go of past
Dear Annie: My husband’s
high school sweetheart (from
30 years ago) refuses to let
go of the past and move on.
“Donna” tried to get my hus-
band to cheat on his first wife,
and he declined. She also tried
to get him to have a fling with
her while we were dating, and
again, he refused her advances.
Donna continues to maintain
contact with my husband’s sib-
lings and his mother on Face-
book by “liking” their photos
and such, but has blocked both
of us from seeing any of her
interactions with them.
My husband would like her to
respect his space and leave his
family alone. I don’t think she
meets the definition of a stalker.
She’s just annoying. How can
we get her to move into the pres-
ent and let go of that part of her
past that included my husband’s
family? — Time to Move On
Dear Time: It sounds like
this is beyond your control. If
Donna wants to have contact
with your in-laws, it is up to
them to decide whether or not to
comply. It is not your decision,
so please stop tormenting your-
self. They can block her if they
choose, and you can ask them to

do so, but it’s up to them.
If Donna is calling your
house, phoning your husband at
work, sending constant emails
or otherwise harassing you or
your in-laws, that would put
her in the category of “stalker.”
If she is simply a thorn in your
side because she refuses to let
go, we feel sorry for her. What a
disappointment her life must be
for her to cling so tenaciously to
a past that didn’t work out. Your
in-laws would be doing her a
favor to recommend that she get
some therapy so she can have a
better life.
Dear Annie: I would like to
comment about the letter from
“Thigh High in Confusion,”
who has a problem with her
boyfriend wearing thigh-high
stockings.
Some guys (like me) have
varicose veins. My doctor told
me to wear hose that support
my health issues and always
asks if I’m wearing them when
I see him. There are companies
that specialize in such hosiery.
My wife is an RN and she sup-
ports my wearing the hose,
even openly with shorts in the
summer.
I do not make a point to tell
anyone unless asked. And the
truth is, most people nowa-
days couldn’t care less unless
you make a point to be noticed.
Those hose are especially help-
ful if you stand on concrete or
any kind of flooring for long
shifts, like I do. Why can’t men
be comfortable at their jobs or
anywhere else? It’s just cloth-
ing. — Man Who Wears Hose
for a Reason
Dear Man: We heard from
plenty of men who use women’s
stockings or their equivalent
for health reasons. The woman
who wrote, however, made it
clear that her boyfriend derives
sexual satisfaction from wear-
ing them, and this puts him in
a different category. She needs
to decide what she can accept
before the relationship pro-
gresses further.
THE DAILY ASTORIAN THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 2016
By Holiday Mathis, Creators Syndicate Inc.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Compassion
isn’t a feeling so much as an action. You have no
problem showing people care and love through
your action, but you sometimes forget to show
yourself the same. Don’t just love yourself;
demonstrate it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Some say the
future is created by dreams. Being the earth
sign that you are, you can’t help but refute that
nature seems to have a substantial hand in it.
Your skill today is in melding your vision with
nature.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Danger! A per-
fectly lovely time is vulnerable to getting hijacked
by an attention hog. Help the socially needy
but don’t indulge them! Save the day by doing
something to spread the attention more equita-
bly.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Someone will
point out a mistake you made, and you’ll appre-
ciate this for the gift it is. The good thing about
accepting your faults as real is that it also helps
you embrace the reality of your talents and vir-
tues.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Someone will find
your conversation delightful today, and for good
reason. For starters, you’re confident enough
to punctuate your statements with flashes of
silence. More importantly, you’ve a genuine in-
terest in others.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sometimes,
when people are with you, they want to be your
best friend. And then time passes and you don’t
hear from them. The intention is still in heart, but
logistics can be hard to work out. This weekend
will work them out for you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Each person in
your inner circle of loved ones sees you in a dif-
ferent, but similar way. Someone on the outside

will see something very different in you. You’ll be
surprised and inspired by this point of view.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When faced
with the choice between making (SET ITAL)
them (END ITAL) happy and making (SET ITAL)
you (END ITAL) happy, choose you. Chances
are, they will too once they learn more about
you. Right now they just don’t know enough!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You attach
feelings to objects. Whether functional, senti-
mental or inspirational, there’s definitely a pos-
itive vibration jumping off of most of the things
around you today. And when that’s not true,
you’ll clean house.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Life is forc-
ing you to get more organized and you certainly
don’t mind the challenge. In fact, in the end you’ll
be glad you had a reason to change some of
your methods of management in this regard.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Once again
you’re in the mood to be impressed. You may
have to change venues in order to find the “wow”
factor you’re looking for, if only because familiari-
ty has blinded you to “wow” in close vicinity.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The people
you know make up a very narrow sector of the
world. Even though their way of doing things
seems common, on the global scale it really
isn’t. So if you have other ideas, do try them out!
FRIDAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 25). When
torn between practical concerns and adventur-
ous impulses, choose the adventure, so long as
it’s a plan that speaks to your heart and not the
expectation of another. April brings work you’ll
love. A major purchase in May will give you the
space you need to create ease in an area of life
where you’ve felt stifled. Scorpio and Leo adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 20, 41, 33 and
48.
