The grand mother welcomes Maggie with open arms and has her come and live with her at a retirement vil lage in Florida. What Maggie doesn’t expect is the endless sup ply of well-meaning retirees and the bond that she eventually forms with the parent of her mother, who died in a suspi cious accident. Meanwhile, Rose extends her leave from the law firm and keeps using her pooper-scooper. When she runs into an acquain tance from the law firm, ro mance is the last thing on her mind. Rose falls for a man with a talent for ordering just the right thing at restaurants, and a few dinners together later, they are engaged. Between the evil step mother, a stepsister called “My 'Marcia” and endless wedding plans, Rose finds that something is missing. Even though she has not forgiven Maggie, Rose fol lows her to Florida to meet the mysterious grandmother. Jennifer Weiner tops “Good in Bed” with this hilarious tale of two sisters destined to be best friends. The book is easy to read and is interspersed with small anecdotes of hilarity through out. “In Her Shoes” shows the complexity of acting adult in a childish world and the art of for giveness over time. Weiner’s unique characters come togeth er to form a perfectly dysfunc tional family, with only a shoe size and a love for each other in common.

Coats is a visceral singer, but the songs are equally driven by Melanie Campbell’s fluid, dis tinctive bass lines. While all these bands have re suscitated garage rock as an art form, Foo Fighters have remained a mainstream rock fixture since 1995, and the new Nirvana compi lation has regenerated interest in Kurt Cobain, as well — although Nirvana had such a short career that fans would be better served by buying Nirvana’s four studio albums. So maybe rock wasn’t dead in the first place. As the Who sang: “Long live rock/ Be it dead or alive.” Comments on this story?E-mail gamecockmixeditor@hotmail.com CROSSWORD ACROSS 1 Exaggeratedly male 6 Appendage 9 Out of kilter 14 Steer clear of 15 Expected to arrive 16 Gather, as cloth 17 Identified 18 Significant event marker 20 Pull from a jug 21 Time off,*for „ short 22 Fertility goddess 23 The whole time 26 Bulb site 28 Soon 29 Scarcity 30 Peaceful harmony 32 Excerpt 34 Thai Buddhist 37 Reduction in scale 40 Touch lightly 41 Inclines 42 Majestic 43 Command to Fido 44 Scrabble piece 45 Brass and pewter, e.g. 48 Test performance 52 France, once 53 “_Frame” 55 Marksman 56 Accomplice 58 Chopper feature 60 Salon settings 61 Bill’s partner? 62 University of Maine location 63 Utopias 64 Barbie’s beau 65 Bruce and Laura DOWN 1 Spiritual nourishment 2 Be of use to 3 Grievance 4 Step on it! 5 Unmatched 6 Mad.

You want it to just be there. To make sure that happens, slow down a bit and make sure you know what you’ve got. TAURUS A conversation with an imaginative friend leads to many great ideas. They won’t all work. Look for the problems on paper before you encounter them in real life. GEMINI You’re generally too busy for much contemplation. Take it slow and easy now. Show you’re dependable rather than just quick. CANCER You’re one of the best at stretching a dollar while making it look like you’re flush. Do it again in order to protect your savings and keep yourself out of debt. LEO If necessary, dig in your heels to get your point across. Having the facts at your fingertips never hurts, either. VIRGO Can you get away and start your weekend early? It would do you a world of good to get a change of scenery as soon as possible. LIBRA It’s time for a reality check. Is there as much in your account as you thought, or are you starting to go in the red? Better find out. SCORPIO You should be calmer now, even though you may still face resistance. Don’t argue with one who could be of some help. Make it easier on yourself. SAGITTARIUS Don’t just fret about something you don’t like. Get to work. You can make it different. That includes your income level, by the way. CAPRICORN Schedule a fascinating conversation for later on tonight. If you think it’s appropriate, you could keep talking all the way until Sunday. It would be healing. AQUARIUS Managing your money wisely can lead to wonderful things. Travel and more education are only a couple of options. Pick a juicy carrot to dangle in front of yourself. PISCES Your problem with learning is that you get distracted, but that shouldn’t be the case now. Just settle down, pick up the book, and power past your own resistance.
