- Woman wants to come clean about online dating subterfuge Dear Abby: I do online dating. For safety, I use an alias. I look much younger than my 43 years, so I went out with a 29-year-old who thinks I'm 33. I have horrible luck with relationships and didn't think this one would be any different. Boy, was I wrong! We have been dating three weeks now.
- Dear Abby: Bullied boy's injuries should trigger police involvement Dear Abby: I am a retired New York City police officer and a resource officer at two high schools in Brooklyn. I must comment on the letter you printed from "Worried About My Boy in Tulsa" (March 29), whose 7-year-old is bullied. If a child hits another child so hard that medical attention is required, it is an assault. The police should have been notified and appropriate law enforcement action taken.

- The Buzz: Most cat lovers like them mixed Less than 1 percent of the total feline population are pedigreed cats. The rest are usually cat-egorized by coat length in the United States, with veterinarians marking them in the records as domestic longhairs (DLH) or domestic shorthairs (DSH). Cats of no particular breed are sometimes also referred to as "alley cats" in the United States. In the United Kingdom, they're called "moggies."
- Ask Dog Lady: Who makes Walters cha-cha-cha? Q: I am wondering if you could tell me what kind of dog Barbara Walters owns? I saw her with her dog on "The View" over a year ago and cannot remember what breed it is. It is the name of someplace in Mexico, I think. The dog was longhaired and a smaller breed; very smart and affectionate. Please help.

Dragonflies are lords of the air. With iridescent colors and large sets of matching wings, they have a sinister beauty that puts military technology to shame.
"They're predators. They eat insects," said Audubon ecologist Robert Buchsbaum, who will lead a walk through Beverly Commons Woodland this Sunday in search of dragonflies and damselflies. "They're strong fliers. They look like B-52s, colorfully marked." - More Lifestyle Headlines
