This is not to say I don’t appreciate the val-
ue of cosmetic surgery, which can do wonders
for a person’s sagging ego. But your appear-
ance should not be the focus of your life be-

this information with me. It is important to
know that relatives of deceased military veter-
ans can receive these military markers at no
cost. Starting the process is as easy as con-
tacting the cemetery, the VA at
www.cem.va.gov/hmm/, or a local VFW or
American Legion post for assistance.
Dear Abby: When I was in my teens, and
even into my 20s and 30s, I was a Plain Jane. I
had little self-confidence. But strangely, I’m
one of those people who has gotten better
looking as I’ve aged. Now in my 50s, I am bet-
ter looking than many women my age or even
younger. Men definitely notice me, and I love

Dear Abby: I am writing in response to the
letter from “Military Service Marker” you
printed on Dec. 22. When my uncle, a military
veteran, passed away, he was without a mil-
itary service marker, too. His two kids (my
cousins) didn’t bother to obtain one, probably
out of sheer laziness.
Feeling that it was important, I took the ini-
tiative and contacted the VA myself. I obtained
the record of his honorable discharge (form
DD 214) and his death certificate. I filled out the
appropriate paperwork and my uncle got the
marker to which he was entitled free of

it.
Dear Abby: I need advice on whether to
contact an old friend who backstabbed me
years ago with my former business partner.
I’m trying to get back into the field, and this old
“friend” is doing well now.
He has a lot of contacts that could help me
start my own company. I’m not sure if I should
contact him because of what he did to me.
Should I?
My problem is, I’m now obsessed with my
appearance. I have even considered cosmetic
surgery. I don’t want to be the shallow person I
see I’m becoming. What can I do?

Late Bloomer
Dear Late Bloomer: There’s a saying,
“You can fool Mother Nature, but you can’t fool
Father Time.” What it boils down to is, time
takes its toll on everyone.
It isn’t shallow to have the feelings you are
experiencing. But please remember that beau-
ty is more than what’s on the surface. Perhaps
it’s time to start concentrating on qualities
that accentuate your inner rather than exter-
nal beauty — kindness, warmth, intelligence,
generosity, an appreciation for the value of
others — because charm lasts longer than
beauty.

Dear Uncertain: Frankly, I think it would
be a waste of time. Leopards don’t usually
change their spots. If you expect someone
who backstabbed you once in business to be-
come generous and helpful, you are dreaming.
