By Jacqueline Bigar
Happy birthday for Sunday, Feb. 15, 2015: This
year you break a pattern that has not served you, perhaps one that involves judging others. You will find
that any trait can be changed with some work. If you
are single, you could meet someone who is very
manipulative. Is this the type of relationship you
want? Be willing to walk away, because something
better is waiting just around the corner. If you are
attached, the two of you often struggle with control
issues. Accept your differences, and you will be on
your way to creating a more viable bond. CAPRICORN understand your motives a little too well for
your taste.

Capricorn - (Dec 22 - Jan 19)
**** You might want to indulge others and take
the lead with a project or idea. You could find a

your heart desires.
This Week: Make it a point to get an early start
Monday.
Aquarius - (Jan
20 - Feb 18)

significance. Tonight: Get some extra zzz’s.
This Week: There is no stopping you now!
Pisces - (Feb 19 - Mar 20)

take it to the finish line.

to be. Tonight: Go along with a loved one’s suggestion.
This Week: Discussions with a partner allow you
to make an important decision.
Cancer - (June 21 - July 22)

This Week: You’ll need to take full responsibility.
Leo - (July 23 - Aug 22)

Scorpio - (Oct 23 - Nov 21)

This Week: You will be preoccupied with a personal matter through Thursday.
Sagittarius - (Nov 22 - Dec 21)

This Week: Make sure your finances are in order.

Dear Abby
Man expects wife to be
waiting for phone to ring
By Abigail Van Buren
Dear Abby: My husband has many wonderful qualities. However, he's obsessed with my always being
instantly available when he calls or texts my cellphone.
I don't carry it with me every minute of the day. At
work I can be busy taking orders, dealing with clients,
having a conference with my boss or using the restroom. But if I don't answer, my husband leaves nasty
messages asking why I have a phone if I'm not going
to pick up or respond to a text. I always do it as soon
as I am able.
I have explained the reality of what I might be
involved with when he contacts
me. I have told him his demand that
I always be immediately available
is selfish, to no avail. What's your
opinion?
— Exasperated in Erie
Dear in exasperated: My
opinion is you should ignore
your husband's nasty comments
because he's acting like an
Abigail Van Buren immature, demanding child who
needs to grow up and realize
the world doesn't revolve around him.

Dear Abby: My husband has a grandson, "Kyle,"
who has been living with us for two years while he
earned his bachelor's degree in college. However, he is
now going for a master's, and it will be another two
years before he graduates.
Kyle works a lot and takes classes, so he is not at
our home that much. However, at age 25, it seems to
me he should be out on his own.
Some of Kyle's uncles are upset that my husband
has allowed this to go on so long because their kids
never got the same treatment. But Kyle doesn't get the
support from his parents that he should, and my husband feels sorry for him.
Am I selfish for feeling that my space has been
invaded for too long?
— Put upon in Texas
Dear put upon: That you and your husband
have chosen to be generous with Kyle should be
nobody else's business. For the reason you mentioned, Kyle needed a break. Your husband
stepped in and has seen that he got one.
If Kyle were constantly underfoot, I could
understand why you might justifiably feel "invaded." However, because he isn't, then yes, I do
think your attitude is selfish.

Dear Abby: Once again I have found that one random act of kindness begets another.
Today, I had a hankering for one of those great salads from my favorite fast food chain. It was noon, and
the line from the main highway to get into the driveway was long.
When I finally was able to turn in to the ordering
section, I noticed a man in his work truck trying to get
into the line. We were face-to-face. I looked back, saw
all the cars behind me and knew none of them were
going to let him in, so I motioned for him to go ahead
of me.
When I reached the window and started to pay for
my order, the cashier said, "You are already paid for."
I said, "What?" The man in front of me had paid for
my order.
The message? Be kind -- it's good karma.
— Linda in Orange, Calif
Dear Linda: I agree. Like a stone thrown into a
pond, a good deed can create ripples that extend
far beyond the initial splash.
