Dear Neil: How long do I have to wait to plant vegetables after I spray Roundup? If you are talking about the original Roundup that has glyphosate as its only active ingredient, technically there would be no waiting period. It is inactive when it comes into contact with the soil.

Dear Abby: I have a wonderful 12-year-old son, “Oliver,” who was conceived during a date rape at a work party. I don’t remember much about that night. When I found out I was pregnant, I hoped my husband at the time was the father. When the baby came, it was obvious he wasn’t, because Oliver is a different race. (I am Caucasian, and I’m thinking Oliver may be Pacific Islander.)
Dear Abby: A year ago, when I discovered my husband’s porn videos and naked pictures of his ex-girlfriends, he assured me he would delete them. It has been a year, and he still hasn’t done it. When I mention it, he claims he doesn’t look at them and doesn’t have time to delete them. I ask him to be honest with me about if he intends to keep them, but he insists he “will” delete them. It makes me believe he has an emotional attachment to these women. How should I continue to deal with this issue? -
