My 11-year old son overheard someone at the picnic said that each one of us had a nick name when we were in school. He asked me what was mine? What should I tell him? Should I tell him that I was such a nobody that not worthy to be christened with one? That would be somewhat a lie or should I tell him the truth? Then, he would want to know what does it mean? Then what the in the world will I tell him? Please help. bần thần & bối rối, Minh Chàng Dear Abby,

Please help.

First I was rejected for the MC job...da no'i buo^`n 5 phu't ! Then second I thought you were.. were upset with me ....for.... printing "unauthorized" (khong xin phe'p) pictures on Bao' Tau`. (Te^. qua' ). Now you ask me my opinion about "Ao Dai`"...??? ok ..ok... here it is... I think it would satified your requirement about "cover yourself as much as possible". I think many ladies will wear a'o da`i of different colors and styles since you said they look "gorgeous" ! And the men too, they are talking about having a men "a'o dai`" competition, Within a few hours today, three applied. I am sure there are more... Ba'o Tau`writer. Dear Abby,

Somehow, Ban Mua Việc now has a fast track pass to you. I'm very jealous! I actually like this new Abby better than the old boring one. This new Abby seems more gentle-man-ly, more Vietnames-ee, more je ne sais quois....more Cal-Bear-y, and more bi-sexual ...yes, that's it! Someday, I just might write my question(s) again, maybe....or maybe not. Indecisive ================================== <em>Dear Indecisive, I've received all your letters but did not respond because you neglected to include the password <strong>gobears</strong>. That would have given you top priority. Please write again, because I no longer have your letters in my possession. I have sent all the <strong>juicy ones</strong> to Chủ Nhiệm Báo Tàu.

Dear Indecisive,
I’ve received all your letters but did not respond because you neglected to include the password gobears. That would have given you top priority. Please write again, because I no longer have your letters in my possession. I have sent all the juicy ones to Chủ Nhiệm Báo Tàu.

That's a very good idea! I am thinking about that too. (If Bao Tau takes pictures, that will be a very beaultiful image/symbol.) If there are more and more people show up w/ Ao Dai, I'll too. However, my Ao Dai is in dark RED (mau ruou chat)!!! Sorry! That doesn't mean that I'm from Stanford. I will always be Bear Cal member!!! So, can I wear that Ao Dai in red color???

Dear Lady in Red,
If you wear Áo Dài, you can come in any color you like, because Áo Dài looks gorgeous in all colors, shapes and forms. Don’t you agree with me?
