DEAR ABBY: I have been living with my fiance for more than three years. My parents are upset and show their disapproval when they send us letters or cards on various occasions.
They address the mail to us as "Mr. and Mrs. John Doe, C.L." The letters mean "common law." The postman has asked what the letters represent. I answered, "It's a joke between mother and me."
How can I get my parents to stop using the letters on correspondence and greeting cards? -- UNHAPPY PEGGY, FULTONDALE, ALA.
DEAR UNHAPPY PEGGY: Get married!
