Dear Abby: I am a crack dealer in Memphis who has recently been diagnosed with syphilis and gonorrhea. My father is in federal prison for making moonshine. My mother worked in a "massage parlor" most of her life. My older sister in Nashville is married to a transvestite. My nephew has recently been arrested for growing and selling marijuana and is currently dependent on my two younger sisters, who are prostitutes in Tunica. I have two brothers. One is currently serving a non-parole life sentence in Parchman for the murder of a teenage boy in 1994. The other brother is currently in Angola on charges related to the priest scandal. I have recently become engaged. All things considered, my main problem is this. I love my fiance' and look forward to bringing her into the family and I certainly want to be totally honest with her. But while she knows all this, there's one thing I'm too ashamed to talk about. Should I tell her about my cousin who goes to Ole Miss? - Worried About My Reputation ---- Dear Worried, Your cousin goes to Ole Miss? Yikes!! I'd keep that to myself. - Abby
