times stubborn. These
traits led her away from
home at an early age and
sometimes ledtodifficul-
lb
ties in her life, however,
she never met a stranger
and was loved by all who
knew her. She also loved
to cook her infamous
shrimp fried rice, steak
and fried chicken!
Evie leaves to cherish
her memory, her mother
and father; a brother,
Kenneth Ray McDonald;

Janet Baker.
Her family would like to express our sincere thanks and
appreciation for the prayers, acts of kindness, calls and visits

My fiancé and I are trying to get

trip to the Virgin Islands. We’re
on the brink of breaking up be­

Dear Michael:
In this day and age, your fiancé
should feel blessed to have some­
one wanting to marry and do the
right thing. Most women want
big weddings so they can show
off to their family and friends
and look silly three years later
when they divorce. The most
you should do is set a budget and
make her get the most out of
those funds. A peaceful solution
is to get married with a simple
wedding, buy your home and
have a big celebration when you
renew your vows.
Dear Deanna!
I ' ve had it with my girlfriend and
her pet obsession. W e've been
together for two years and all of
a sudden she’s become an over­
night dog lover. Every time I
turn around the little dog is in my

face. My girlfriend is rude when
she has it on her lap at the table,
she brings in a box to the movies
and she lets it in the bed with us.
There are too many women out
there for me to be held hostage
by a dog. Am I wrong to say she
needs to choose the dog or me?
-B rian ; Orlando, FL
Dear Brian:
Y ou’re a grown man and you
let an anim al control your rela­
tionship. You should’ve had
this discussion the first time
the dog came to the dinner
table. Just like children, pets
have a tim e and place to be
seen and involved and a dog is
no different. However, your
girlfriend needs to grow up and
learn how to be m ature and
m a n ag e h er m an and h er
pooch. If th ere’s no com m it­
ment and she chooses to keep
her habits with the dog, then
suck it up and keep it moving.

I can’t reach my boyfriend on an
emotional level. I try to connect
and encourage conversation in
hopes he'll tell me how he feels
about me. When I ask, he says
the relationship is fine, he’s happy
and things are okay. I feel like
I’m starving for attention and I
need to hear things verbally. He
says I’m making a big deal out of
nothing. The more I ask, the
more he resists and now w e’re
arguing. Should I be content and
not worry until he says some­
thing is wrong? -W orried Heart;
Buffalo, NY
Dear Worried:
Y our insecurity is going to
w reck this relationship. You
should observe your m a n ’s
behavior very close. Some
men show affection through
action instead o f words. Pay
attention to things he does to
bond with you and if it makes
sense, go with the flow. On
the other hand, if h e 's a cold
fish in his actions and verbal
com m unication, you have rea­
son to worry. If this is the
case, dem and some dialogue
and decide if you want to stay
in this situation or free yourself
and move on.
