A close girlfriend of mine was one of my bridesmaids. She got ridiculously drunk at my wedding. She ran around the dance floor like an idiot. She hit on one of my husband's married friends in front of his wife. She threw up in the bath- room and one of my aunt's had to take her car keys away. It makes me sick to watch my wedding video because she is every- where, acting like an idiot. Now she is engaged and planning her wed- ding and I feel like I should get stupid-wasted (or act stupid-wasted) at her wedding so she can feel all the hell she put me through. My husband is not interested in going to her wedding because of her actions at our wedding. He wants to RSVP that we will not be attend- ing and send a card with money, but if I am going to give her a card with money, then I should go to the reception and act like an a—. What are your thoughts? —Disturbed DEAR DISTURBED » Your idea to get — or act — "stupid-wasted" and crash through this person's wedding is delightfully bananas. I suggest you immediately get to work on a screenplay with this bridal-revenge concept as the primary plot, in order to get it out of your system. Otherwise, back away — far, far away — from this idea. It is dumb, mean, churlish and a reputation-killer for you. Imagine that if you actually acted out the fantasy, you would be harming not only the bride, but also her groom and other guests. Surely you should not ta k e so m an y in no ce n t people hostage, even if your bridesmaid did this to you. Do not attend this wedding. Do not send money. The meanest thing I give you permission to do is to copy your wedding footage and slip a DVD into an envelope, along with a note to this person: "Take a look at my wedding video. I'm sure you'll notice your performance on my wedding day. I certainly hope you have better luck choosing your brides- maids than I did. We won't be there to find out, however." DEAR AMY » "Miserable" saw an old flame and couldn't stop thinking about him. This happened to me. Luckily I am still married to my wonder- ful, faithful husband and he forgave my indiscretions. She needs to talk to her husband about this. Telling the truth is always better. — Experienced in Memphis DEAR EXPERIENCED » Great advice.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — An intelligent approach when dealing with institutions or gov- ernment agencies will help you avoid being penalized. Romance doesn't have to break the bank.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — You'll be prone to talking big when you should be bringing about positive change without braggadocio.
