Dear Deanna!
I feel as if I’m always treated like
dirt. I play by the rules, respect
people, and stay out of trouble.
Every time I turn around, a girl
friend is stabbing me in the back
and men always play me or think I’m
stupid. What am 1 doing wrong to
continue attracting people that hurt
me like this. Am I a bad judge of
character? —Anonymous; Dallas,
Texas

Dear Anonymous:
Yes, y ou’re a bad judge o f char

People treat you the way you
allow them. You need to look in

yourself rather than people. At

Dear Deanna!
I’m losing my husband to a co-
worker. I understand that men
and women work together but I
think something else is going on
He spends too much time with
this woman, gives gifts to her
children and constantly brags
about her accom plishm ents.
When I talk to him about this, it
causes an argument and he ac
cuses me of being insecure. How
do 1 deal with this situation be
cause I can’t take it anymore? -

Next Day fare increase begins
T riM et’s offer o f free rides on
all MAX trains and buses on New
Y ear’s Eve starting Saturday at 8
p.m. is especially inviting, since
an increase in fares will be put in
place on New Y ear’s Day, Sun
day, Jan 1.
Rising fuel costs over the last
16 m onths caused TriM et to fall
$4.4 million short in expected rev
enues. The deficit is being passed
on to passengers by increasing
regular adult cash fares by 15-
cents and youth and honored c iti
zen fares by 10-cents.
A new 7 day-rolling pass will
provide convenience and savings
of a monthly pass, but allows a rider
to purchase it in smaller increments.
