DEAR ABBY: This question is very important to an elderly friend of mine, and I don't have the answer. Abby, if you are born on Feb. 29, what day do you celebrate on the years that are not leap years? No one I've asked seems to know. -- LULA IN LAKE CHARLES, LA.
DEAR LULA: There are several ways to deal with it. Celebrate the big day on Feb. 28 or March 1 -- or if he or she would prefer to age more slowly, celebrate the birthday only every four years!
