We’re in our early 30s, and Shannon is saying she w ill "most" things you w ant in a partner. Yet I sense that

I’m having trouble with the notion of committing to then face it — she’s not for you.
her forever because I’m still attracted to other women. Of course, regardless of how attractive one’s part-
fl haven’t been involved with anyone else since start- ner is, there are no guarantees that anyone - male or
female -- won’t meet someone who is different and
appealing at some point in the future. But those who •
arc mature and committed usually realize they have
enough invested emotionally in their marriage and
children that they can resist temptation. It’s called -
being an adult.
DEAR ABBY: At least once a week my boss and 1
drive together from our office to meetings throughout
town. She always insists on driving. My problem is,
she drives erratically and 1 often feel in danger with
her behind the wheel. Not only does she swerve in and
out of lanes without signaling, she is often talking on
her cell phone (which is not illegal in our state).
I'd be happy to drive. I have a comfortable, reliable
car and a safe driving history. I have offered, "I’d be
glad to drive so you'll be free to give your full atten-
tion to important phone calls." None of my efforts has
worked.
I don't want to be rude or insulting - and certainly
don't want to create an awkward situation with my
boss -- but I don't want to keep putting myself at
risk with her terrible driving. I'd be grateful for some
advice. -- RIDING SHOTGUN IN MIAMI
DEAR RIDING SHOTGUN: It’s time for another
— more direct -- chat with your boss. You should not
have to worry every time you get into a car with her
that you might not arrive in one piece. Tell her: “When
you talk on the phone while you drive, it makes me ■
very nervous. I’m concerned about my safety as well
as the safety of others when you do it. If you don't
want me to drive so you can make your calls, I will
meet you at our destination."
DEAR ABBY: After her second mammogram in 10 ■
years, my mother-in-law now needs a double mastec- -
tomy. An annual mammogram would have caught it
early enough to prevent its spread.
Since I have trouble remembering when it has been
a year since my last exam, I decided to schedule my -
annual exam on my birthday. Now I will always
remember when it's time for my annual gift to myself
- preventive health care. - ANNUAL ALISON IN

DEAR ANNUAL ALISON: That’s an excellent
suggestion. Associating annual medical exams with a
holiday -- like Valentine's Day -- would be another.
