Dear Deanna!
I'm worried about my sister be
cause she is the type of woman that
has to be in a relationship. She
recently ended a 6-year romance
and after two weeks, already is get
ting serious about someone new. I
think she needs to clear her head
and realize she is on the rebound.
She has already told this man she
loves him and I want her to slow
down. What can I say to her in order
to spare her feelings but sti II get my
message across? -A nonym ous;
St. Louis, Mo.
Dear Anonymous:
It’s good that you’re concerned
because this is your sister and you
love her. If she’s not being hurt and
there aren't any foul signs of abuse
or cheating from this man, you
should wait and see what happens.
However, it’s too early to see his
true character and as an experi
enced dater, your sister should see
the signs when they appear. Share
your honest feelings with her about
slowing down and let her know she
has your full support if things don't
work out.

Dear Sam:
Pray hard and remember the life you
lost in jail. Think about the confine
ment, prison food and neglect you
suffered. If that's not enough, think
of the people you destroy while
selling them drugs. If you’re not
doing well on your minimum wage
job, then go to the next level and get
a second job. Once you get that
going, max yourself out with col
lege courses. You’ll be so busy
making honest money and improv
ing yourself that you w on't think
about drug dealing.
