HOROSCOPE
BY NANCY BLACK
Concept is SudoKu
By Dave Green
10 is the easiest day.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY: Talk about
your loves this year. Express your
passion and it grows. Lecture, write

after 6/14. After 10/13, begin a new
domestic phase. Creativity flowers.

closed doors suits you fine. Don't
bite off more than you can chew.
Compromise and schedule actions
for later. Cleanse your system.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Polite, respectful behavior takes
less time than an outburst. Contain
your feelings and sort them out
later. Learn from another's mistake.
Check your work for changes.
9 GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

es you've made. Your workload

ings. You can find necessary re-
sources.
9SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Be
diplomatic. You're especially
attractive. Your work is in demand.
Creative planning resolves a practi-
cal issue. Invest in your career. Your
fame is spreading. Share the wealth
by delegating jobs. Grow savings.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 Dec.
21) Get fully into a household
project over the next few days. Less
is better. Clear out unused stuff.
Give it away or sell it. Balance
colors, form and lighting. Spend a
little to save a lot.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Keep researching. Make plans
and organize the pieces. Review all
options before choosing. Walk and
talk with a partner. Look to what
worked in the past. Adapt.

There's profitable work avail-
able. Get what you need delivered,
and push while the getting is good.
Balance accounts and replenish
reserves. Keep momentum. Stick to
the budget. Focus on the job.

Dear Abby: I am a divorced
mother with an 11-year-old
daughter. My boyfriend, “John,”
and I have been together for two
years and we’re serious. He is al-
so divorced, with a 13-year-old
daughter.
We have tried to be sensitive
and understanding about their
feelings about our recent divorc-
es and our relationship, but both
girls are having a difficult time
coping with it. We are very lov-
ing and inclusive, so it’s not as if
they should feel resentful or left
out. But this is starting to cause a
rift in our relationship.
There comes a point when
they need to understand that
this is the new norm and get
used to it. We try to include each
other’s daughter in shared
events, but it ends up becoming
a forced struggle. Any advice
would be greatly appreciated.
The New Norm
Dear New Norm: Wel-
come to the world of blended
families. As much as we would
wish it, the adjustment isn’t al-
ways smooth, because when
children are involved, their
world is often tom apart.
A resource that can be help-
ful would be the Stepfamily
Foundation Inc. (stepfami-
ly.org). Your former spouses can
also ease the adjustment for the
girls by remaining actively in-
volved in their lives, curbing
ly not the case. Alex and I both
make sure to show respect and
appreciation to each other in lit-
tle ways throughout the day.
This isn’t the first instance in
which someone heard me ad-
dress my husband as “Sir” and
criticized my decision to use the
word. Frankly, I have no inten-
tion to change the way I interact
with my husband. What I’d like
to know is, how do I nicely shut
the conversation down when
people give their unwelcome
opinion?
Annoyed in Round Rock
Dear Annoyed: It’s possible
these relatives did not grow up
with the same formalities you
are used to. If that’s the case,
smile and say, “I consider calling
my husband ‘Sir’ a sign of re-
spect. That’s how I was raised.
Don’t you think he deserves it?”
However, if the teasing doesn’t
stop, add, “I’m neither down-
trodden nor subservient — and
what I call him is really not your
business.”

their hostility and not pitting the
children against either of you.
However, if that’s not in the
cards, then enlist the help of a li-
censed family therapist. Blend-
ed family counseling, divorce
and remarriage counseling may
be necessary to ease the girls’
transition into “the new norm,”
which is anything but normal
for them.

Dear Abby: My husband,
“Alex,” and I are a young couple
and have been married for four
years. I recently took a trip with
him to visit his uncle and met
one of Alex’s cousins for the first
time.
Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several
given numbers. The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the emp-
ty squares so that each row, each column and each 3x3 box contains
the same number only once. The difficulty level of the Conceptis
Sudoku increases from Monday to Sunday.

I was helping my mother-in-
law in the kitchen when Alex
called me to come and look at
something on his computer. I re-
sponded, “Sir?” His cousin im-
mediately started poking fun at
it, and the rest of his family
joined in.
To me, “Sir” is a gesture of re-
spect to my husband. His family
seemed to interpret it to mean I
think I’m less than an equal in
our relationship. This is definite-

Phoenix
June 5 rainfall breaks
record in Phoenix
Thetford, Vt.
Huge screen blocks
neighbor from sight
A former Vermont guberna-
torial candidate says she had a
60-foot by 24-foot “screen” built
so she wouldn’t have to see her
neighbor’s home.
Ruth Dwyer told WPTZ-TV
she’s lived on her farm in rural
Thetford for over 40 years. Two
years ago, a new home was built
across the street.
Dwyer said one of her horses
was startled by a child on the
neighbor’s driveway, prompting
her to plant cedar trees to block
her view of the home. She had a
temporary “screen” installed
while they grow.
Zoning officials have since
fined her $200 each day she
doesn’t have a permit for the
structure.

Boston
Boston group renting
out inflatable pub
8
TIMES SOLUTION
This bouncy house is defi-
nitely not for the kids.
A Boston man and his
friends planned to begin renting
out an inflatable Irish pub Fri-
day. The blow-up bar can fit
more than 70 people and resem-
bles a traditional watering hole
in Ireland, complete with fake
red wooden doors and a
thatched roof.
The venture is run by Boston
resident and Dublin native
Eoghan Cahill and a group of
friends. Cahill told The Boston
Globe the inflatable pubs are
popular in Ireland and England,
and Boston will be the first place
in America that one will be of-
fered for rent.
It didn’t take much rain to set
a record in Phoenix.
The National Weather Ser-
vice said Friday the 0.03 inch of
rain recorded at Phoenix Sky
Harbor International Airport by
4 p.m. was the largest amount
for June 5.
Meteorologist Chris Kuhlman
said it had never officially rained
in the desert city on this date.
“So far we had not anticipat-
ed that June would be a wet
month, it almost never rains in
the month of June in Phoenix,”
Kuhlman said.
June is normally dry in Phoe-
nix, but a thunderstorm with
moisture from remnants of
Tropical Storm Andres provided
a bit of a change.
