Dear Franklin,
Please help me. I am dating the most wonderful man in the whole wide world. I wake up every day and thank the heavens that I am so lucky to have him. The problem is that last week I came home from work early to find him in bed with my roommate Tammy. They were both naked, but have told me repeatedly that nothing happened. Of course, I believe them, because who else is a girl to trust if she can\'t trust her own roommate and her own boyfriend? The thing is, Bob told me that he was going to look for a job that day, but he didn\'t. He tells me to stay off his case and reminds me that I am not his mother or even his old lady, and I guess he is right. But he hasn\'t had a job since last May when he was fired from his truck driving job for possession of narcotics. I truly love this man, but am having trouble supporting myself, my roommate, Bob, and his three children. What should I do?

Dear Susan,
There are social agencies which can help you out with your situation. You don\'t have to go through this alone; there are people out there who truly care about you. First, I would recommend calling Temps-America. They will help you find a part-time job that will fit in with your schedule and your needs. If this doesn\'t work, try looking in your local paper. They are bound to have a \"Help Wanted\" section. There are lots of ways you can supplement your income; try making arts and crafts to sell at flea markets. Another way is to stand by the freeway exit of a wealthy neighborhood with a cardboard sign requesting \"donations\". The important thing to remember is that these people are counting on you, and the fact that they need you so much should be a reasonable facsimile of love. Get to work, girl!
Dear Franklin,
Last month, my boyfriend of two weeks moved, like, a million miles away. Before he left, I told him I loved him, and he quickly jumped in the car and said he would call me when he got settled into his new place. I haven\'t heard from him yet, but I don\'t have an answering machine, so maybe he called when I was at work. I haven\'t been able to stop thinking about him, and am considering visiting him this weekend just so I can straighten things out with him.

Anne, it should be quite obvious to you and anyone else who might have the misfortune of reading your ramblings that your \"boyfriend\" has not yet ended his lunar voyage. Give the guy a chance to finish his intergalactic journey, sheesh. Wait... what was I talking about again? Look, this letter is making me look bad. You slept with some schmuck a few times, you told him you loved him, he moved to the moon and found some saucy green cheese lady, and that\'s that. End of story, move on.
