That's no playoff beard on Ryan Miller's face. Look closer and you'll discern the makings of a playoff mustache and wide, triangular sideburns. Throw in some bell bottom pants and Miller would look like some dude from the 1970s. It's a tribute to the late Rick Martin. Miller said his teammates were so moved by the reunion of former Sabres at the final home game that they decided to honor Martin with his signature facial growth -- a Rico-shave. The 'burns began with Patrick Lalime and spread through the team like wildfire.

DEAR ABBY: My husband, "Ed," and I have been together for six years, married for two. This is the second marriage for both of us. We have children from our first marriages. Ed works offshore. He's gone 21 days and here 21 days. The three weeks he's gone, I work, take care of the house and the kids, do the yard work, etc. When he comes home, I want him to myself the first weekend - I don't want to share him with his friends. I'd like to do fun things with him sometimes, just the two of us. Ed says I have to understand his friends are important. He says I'm selfish and jealous. He doesn't show affection very well either (except behind closed doors), and I am a very affectionate person. Am I asking too much from him? I am considering counseling, but I'm unsure whether Ed would go.

Dear Annie: My husband really is a wonderful man. People describe me as patient, easy-going and positive. I'm happy -- except for my marriage. For years, I've been bothered by the same three issues: I crave affection, but my husband is content to have sex once a month and I feel rejected when asking for more. Second, I feel suffocated at times because of his insistence that he always have his own way -- although I have been more forceful recently in putting up a fight. Third, I am very lonely. I have a full-time job and come home to be a parent and do most of the household chores alone. My husband is never here. He is a workaholic.

Dear Abby: I am 28 and have dated my boyfriend "Dan" for two years. We have lived together for the past year. My problem is Dan shows me almost no affection. He doesn't tell me he loves me unless I say it first; he never wants to cuddle next to me or hug me when he gets home from work. He insists that he loves me, and says his lack of demonstrativeness is because he didn't grow up in an affectionate household and it makes him uncomfortable.

Some men send flowers, others prefer to say it with jewelry or candy. Rod Pitta has another way of letting wife Beverly know how he feels about her. And in the days of Facebook and other social media, it may be something of a throwback. But according to the Pittas, who met in Lynchburg, live in Raleigh, N.C., and have a home at Bernard's Landing, it's nevertheless effective.

Shylock, as Shakespeare's Jew, is uncomfortable with a court or a culture that prefers love to law, mercy to method, and effort to effect. Since he operates best by fixed bonds of obligation, not by flexible bonds of affection, he becomes "not well" (4.1.8) after his shocking defeat and forced conversion because he has lost his sureties in law, in trade, and even in religion, and he does not know how to function without them.

Dear Abby: Thank you for your response to "Alarmed in Apple Valley" (Aug. 28), who was concerned because her teenage nephew shows so much affection toward his mother. I raised a very affectionate son who, to this day at age 30, hugs and kisses me no matter where we meet. I raised him with the principle that because he is male doesn't mean he has to hide his feelings as generations before him did. My daughter-in-law tells me often that she couldn't ask for a better husband and father to her children. Americans coddle girls when they hurt, but a boy is supposed to "take it like a man" and not express his feelings. I am pleased to know other mothers out there are also raising their sons to be well- rounded, emotionally healthy men. -- Proud Mom of a Navy Son
