I was taught as a child that items in a supermarket are not yours to consume until they are first paid for at the register. A supermarket is not a restaurant! You pay for the food before you eat it. I am sure many people "forget" they handed their child a muffin from the bakery display to keep him or her occupied while they shop. And how can a store weigh the grapes you ate while browsing in the aisles? This is stealing, and parents send the wrong message to their children by letting them graze on the products the store is selling. By the way, employees are not allowed to say anything to customers when they see it happen.
This practice not only keeps prices higher, but also is unhygienic. Shopping carts are filthy; they are rarely cleaned. Pushing a cart and eating a cookie is a perfect way to pick up a serious foodborne illness. Abby, what are your thoughts on the subject? Supermarket Merchandiser in New York Dear S.M.: They're the same as yours. Children learn more from the examples set by the adults in their lives By Bernice Bede Osol Newspaper Enterprise Association In the year ahead, you could become involved in an enterprise that turns out to be much larger than you first thought.
Your probabilities for success are strong, provided you keep an eye on the objective regardless of its complexities. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) There is nothing wrong with your financial picture, but if you're not careful, you could do a good job of messing it up. Continue to operate along prudent lines.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Guard against thinking everything can be resolved through little or no effort. Unfortunately, it will take much more than nominal effort to untangle matters. Pisces (Feb.
20-March 20) If things aren't going exactly as planned, be careful not to make matters worse by responding in a counterproductive manner. Negative action could bring bigger headaches. District helping By The Associated Press HOPKINSVILLE A program in southwestern Kentucky is allowing high school dropouts to return to classes and get a diploma instead of a GED. Christian County's Academy of Continuing Education started in February to help students ages back to school than from what they are told. When they see their parents bend the rules, they grow up thinking it's normal.
And by the way, this applies not only to what we do, but also to our sins of omission. Dear Abby: This year was awful. One of my friends shot himself. A few weeks ago a classmate hit a young man, and the guy died. Now I have just learned that yesterday another classmate was killed in a car crash.
All I want to do is hide in my room. I'm scared of what is happening. Who are we going to lose next? Please tell me how to handle in Pennsylvania Dear Scared: When deaths happen with no warning, it is shocking and scary, and you have had more than your share. When tragedies such as you have described happen during the school year, many schools invite grief counselors to come and talk with the students, which can be helpful. If that hasn't happened where you live, it would be a good idea for you and some of your friends to discuss your feelings with a clergyperson or another trusted adult who can guide you through the normal emotions people experience during the grieving process.
Dear Abby: Please settle a disagreement for us.

Huge mistakes could occur from some of the smallest oversights. Taurus (April 20-May 20) There's a strong chance that you could be your own worst enemy by acting in ways diametrically opposed to the people who are trying to help you. Straighten out your thinking.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) Be careful not to open your mouth before your brain is in gear. There's a good chance that you could blurt out something unkind or nasty, even if you didn't mean it that way. Cancer (June 21-July 22) Attempting to push your bright ideas on others will be met with instant rejection. Offer your thoughts as suggestions, and give those you're with time to mull things over.

Ford worker dies after incident at Louisville plant your plate, or to spread the butter on your bread? EtiquetteChallenged in Shiloh, Ill. Dear Challenged: If a small fork isn't provided to transfer the butter to your bread plate, use the butter knife to do it. If the butter is served in a dish, then use your butter knife to scoop out a portion and place it on the edge of the plate.
And by the way, when you take a slice of bread, do NOT butter it all at once. Break off a bite-sized piece, apply the butter, then pop it in your mouth. P.S. The butter dilemma can be avoided by substituting olive oil instead, which is healthier. When I'm in a restaurant, I often ask for olive oil, to which I add a dash of balsamic vinegar making sure the design on my butter plate looks like modern art.
Not only is it good for my heart, it's creative and fun. P.P.S. My editor suggests adding a dash of Parmesan. Delicious! Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.

23) Doing something out of spite in order to even accounts with someone could have a boomerang effect, and you could be the one who takes the hit. Be careful what you throw out there. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) It's bad enough to neglect something that was your responsibility, but blaming others for your inaction is another story.
Expend all your energy to correct the situation. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Co-workers are likely to follow your lead, so if you neglect your work or do a sloppy job, you can expect the same from them. Be sure to set the proper example.
