Don't seek mom's approval when you're making plans
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I went a little crazy when I was younger and had a nervous breakdown. I got help and now I am perfectly fine. My mother won't let me forget it and always tell me I should be careful because my "nerves" aren't strong. She undermines me every ...

Move, then be quiet about cash
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My mother died and left me a lot of money. I told my neighbour about it and it got all around this neighbourhood, which you'd probably call lower middle class. I have recently had two different neighbours (not even friends) come and give me sob stories and ask me for outright gifts of my inheritance money to help their families. I was so flabbergasted I didn't say anything. I was tongue-tied in both cases, and told them I'd think about it. I have thought about it and I don't want to be in this position. Do I have to buy a new house in order to get my privacy back? -- Shocked, North End

Play nice in your neighbour's dust
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I just came in from wiping off my car on the parking pad. Someone wrote in the dust on my trunk: "I wish my wife was as dirty as your car." I think I know who wrote that and I'm not going to stand still and take it. My clean-freak neighbour is always giving me a bad time about the junk in my yard and my teenage kids roaring in and out and fixing their cars in the driveway. I can see his car from here. I feel like going and knocking on that jerk's door, and telling him off. -- Not Going To Take It!

You're just gathering intel, so try to stay sober
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: Years ago I was quickly married to an Irish-Canadian guy and we had a young, tempestuous, mostly sexual relationship. We never got along outside of bed because we were both selfish and immature. It soon hit the rocks with a divorce. He wasn't ready for marriage. I could never forget him totally -- my first lover and my first love. We had no kids together. Recently he has come free and, as a little joke, we have agreed to meet for a drink on St. Patrick's Day at the bar where we first met. I am also a free agent the last year, after a bad separation and I'm heading for a definite divorce. Miss L., I'm writing to you because I'm scared I will fall for him again! Am I a fool for doing this thing? I am a bit lonely. Please write me back on St. Pat's day, if you can, as I will be a nervous wreck, and tell me how to behave. We could never leave each other alone and were known to leave in the middle of a restaurant dinner to go home and jump into bed. Disgusting, I know, but that's how we reacted to one another. -- In His Palm Again? St. Vital

It was a holiday experience, nothing more
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I was down in Florida on a holiday and I met Mr. Right Now on the third night. We had a wonderful 10 days. I shed tears at parting and he went back to his woman in the States. I know there isn't a chance in hell I can see him again, as I am 38 and know reality from fantasy. but I can't stop thinking about him and he asked me to call him at his work. Should I interfere? He invited it. -- Sorely Tempted, Westwood
