Specialists at the University of Goteborg said they performed the surgery over the weekend without complications but added that they won't consider it successful unless the women give birth to healthy children. One of the unidentified women had her uterus removed many years ago because of cervical cancer, while the other was born without a womb. Both are in their 30s.

They will undergo a year of observation before doctors attempt to help them get pregnant via in vitro fertilization.

Billy has been caught on several occasions showing his "manhood" to little girls, and we recently found out he took Anissa into a popup tent and showed her as well. This was not on my watch, because I don't feel comfortable leaving them alone together. After I learned about the incident I was told that Billy had done this with another cousin and told her it was a "secret" and not to tell. Abby, as far as I know, Billy was spoken to at great length and reprimanded after the first few occurrences, but he continues to do this, it seems, at every opportunity he gets.

Is this normal behavior for boys I think the parents are burying their heads in the sand. They get defensive when the subject is brought up. Personally, all I can do is keep Anissa within arm's reach when Billy is around. What do you think? NOT ONMYWATCH DEAR NOT: I think that's intelligent.

DEAR ABBY: My late partner and I had matching wedding rings, as we had a civil marriage. Since my partner's death, I have met someone else We have become a couple and also want to have a civil same sex marriage. Do you think it would be wrong to use the same wedding rings I had with my first partner? I'm not sure how I feel about it and need some input.

ALLEN IN FLORIDA DEAR ALLEN: Far more important than what I think about it is what your significant other thinks. Personally, I would "retire" the rings from your former marriage and start with new ones because it's a new relationship. While no rule of etiquette says there is anything wrong with using the old ones this really isn't a question of etiquette. Write Dear Abby at DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

For example, one was wearing white slacks through which the patterned fabric of her underwear couldbe seen clearly.

Is there a polite way to alert them of the problem, or is it better to say nothing? Most of these women were strangers, but I couldn't think of tactful wording even when it happened to a friend.
