Dear Amy: My partner and 1 got married about a year ago and had a good-size wedding. Cindy, my best friend front early childhood, traveled to attend our wedding; she also made the trip to go to our shower a month before the wedding. Because we got married in the town where Cindy and I grew up, she stayed with her parents and had a free car to drive. Other than this amazing display of friendship, we haven't been in good touch since we started college, and we don't have the connection we used to have. Since our wedding, my partner and I have moved out of state.

Cindy and her longtime boyfriend have announced their June wedding and have made it clear that we will be invited and should come. However, with the lack of connection between us and the considerable expense (plane trip, hotel, car rental, gift, meals, we are not sure if it makes financial sense for us to attend. In essence, we don't want to go but worry that we will risk permanently damaging the friendship if we don't. We feel that Cindy would understand if we sent a nice note and a gift. We're just confused lesbians who are looking for answers regarding straight weddings.

Wondering Dear Wondering: I'm wondering what it is about being a lesbian that has you so very flummoxed about weddings. You had "a good-size" one, after all. You had a wedding shower, issued invitations, gathered your thoughtful friends around you and received their gifts and their best wishes. Your reasons for not attending this wedding ring hollow. Attending a wedding is not supposed to make financial sense but it's something you do to bear witness to an important life event.

Just a year ago you thought enough of your friend to ask her to attend your nuptials, and she thought enough of you to make two trips to be with you. So, what gives? Please don't say that now that your own celebration is over, you've lost interest in weddings. However you justify your reasons for not attending this wedding, you do risk damaging friendship. That's a shame, since your friend seems to think enough of you and your partner to have blessed your union with her presence. Dear Amy: On the eve of my 30th birthday, I met a man and connected with him in a way I've never experienced before.

We were "together" that night I met "Randy" again the following weekend and we had a fantastic time. We talked about a future. He convinced me that he wanted to be with me. We talked dairy for months. He admitted he was seeing someone but wasn't sure what their future held because of legal ramifications with her children and her ex.

Randy suddenly stopped returning my calls, and I've come to find out that he married the other woman. He didn't feel it necessary to call me and "break up." He sent me an e-mail after the fact. I feel betrayed. He still refuses to give me any closure by explaining what happened. His new bride doesn't even know I existed Most of my friends think I should contact her and tell her everything.

What do you think I should do? Beth Dear Beth: First of all, someone else cannot bestow closure upon you. What exactly would you like for him to say or do in order for you to achieve this magical state? You've been had, sister. Even though this guy told you he was involved with someone else, you seem to have expected him to choose you. So perhaps he played you. I know it hurts, but I think you should start your fourth decade by being a little wiser not wary, necessarily, but wiser.

Perhaps you won't sleep with someone on the first date, for instance. I'm not saying that any of this is your fault, but you do have an opportunity to wise up, and I hope you will. You seem to imagine that you will retaliate against this guy by contacting his wife, but I wonder what you 'think that would accomplish. No doubt he could explain you away quite neatly, and that's not the route to closure, I assure you. Dear Amy.

This is responding to a recent letter from a woman who was terrified of funerals. A possible solution for someone who is uncomfortable at funerals would be to volunteer to stay and watch the home of the grieving family during the service. This would be helpful and would show one's respecfwithout having to go into the details of why one did not want to attend the service. Hope This Helps Dear Helps: I understand that homes left empty during funeral services can be vulnerable to break-ins, so this is a very helpful idea. Amy Dickinson is a naive of Tompkins County.

She still maintains a home in FreevUle. Send questions via e-mail to askamyCmribunexom or by mail to As Amy, Chicago Tribune, TTSOO, 435 N. Michigan Ave, Clucago, 1L 61)611.

"They went through all the heartache that rock 'n' roll is built on they lost two band members and they never gave up," said Neil Young, who inducted the band and sat in for a ferocious performance of "My City Was Gone." Hynde told the audience she knows the Pretenders have sounded like a tribute band for the past 20 years. "We are a tribute band," she said. "We're paying tribute to James Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon, without whom we would not have been here." Celebrating the 50th anniversary of rock 'n' roll, the hall also celebrating its 20th induction dinner brought Bo Diddley in to perform the Bo Diddley beat with fellow guitarists Eric Clapton and Robbie Robertson.

Guy dominated the Chicago blues guitar scene, and he was ushered into the hall by some pretty decent guitar players themselves Eric Clapton and B.B. King. Later, both joined Guy onstage for a rollicking rendition of "Let Me Love You Baby." 7. CSI: Miami CBS 20 21.7 8. Extreme Makeover: Home Ed.

ABC '15 The Associated Press Members of the band U2, from left, Larry Mullen, Adam Clayton, Bono, and the Edge, pose for a photo after being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Monday. 9. Two and a Half Men CBS 15 17.4 By NEKESA MUMBI MOODY The Associated Press NEW YORK Minutes after U2 was officially bumped up to legendary status after a raucous, sentimental induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Irish quartet headed to the media room to answer questions about their momentous honor. But perhaps only a rock band fronted by Bono would first be asked about everything but music. "Bono! What about the Nobel Peace Prize?" one reporter called out, querying as to whether Bono's mission to eradicate third-world debt would get him the honor.

"Rock star is already having the cream of the cake," Bono replied. Another wondered whether Bono would assume the presidency of the World Bank, as the latest Bono-leading-the-free-world rumor would suggest. Over U2's 30-year journey from the streets of Dublin to becoming the world's most important rock band, there have often been times when Bono's charisma, his charitable efforts (and more recently a fashion line) have eclipsed his collaborators and lifelong friends: UZs other members, guitarist The Edge, bassist Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen Jr. But on Monday evening, if not always clear to others, their rock peers recognized the collaborative achievements of perhaps the most groundbreaking rock group in the past two decades. "Ono, dos, tres, catorce," said Bruce Springsteen, quoting the Spanish countdown in U2's recent 10.

Cold Case CBS 14 their work with Philly soul produc- a Man Loves a 16.6 hit "Vertigo," as he inducted the band into the rock hall with a loving, humorous tribute. "The translation is one, two, three, fourteen. That is the correct math for rock 'n' roll. The whole had better equal a lot more than the sum of its parts or else you're just rubbing two sticks together." On a night when The Pretenders, The O'Jays, Percy Sledge and blues legend Buddy Guy received key to rock's exclusive club, U2 was clearly the evening's star attraction. "They are the keepers of some of the most beautiful sonic orchestration in rock and roll," Springsteen said of the band.

Though they weren't inducted until after midnight, there was hardly an empty chair in the ballroom when they were honored last; and when the group performed some of their biggest hits, including "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" with an assist from Springsteen himself it everyone, from celebrities like Catherine Zeta-Jones to grizzled industry folk jumped out their seats to cheer them on. But they were hardly the evening's only highlight. The O'Jays are best know for Rod Stewart called it "one of the best performances I've ever heard and I'm sure you've ever heard." The Pretenders came from the same rock generation as U2. Ohio native Chrissie Hynde was a tough but tender role model for women, singing "Brass in Pocket," "Precious" and "Back on the Chain Gang." The band formed after Hynde moved to London to be part of its One rating point represents 1 ,096,000 TV households. The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.

"Back Stabbers" was a big hit in 1972, with "Love Train," "For the Love of Money" and other well-known songs. After film clips showed them in wild tuxes during the 1970s, the quartet wore simple black suits to perform a medley including each of those songs. They were inducted by singer Justin Timberlake. "Anyone who's ever written, produced or performed something soulful stands in the shadows of these giants," Timberlake said.

If nothing else, Sledge's voice has been the backdrop to countless romantic encounters.
