European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - March 7, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Friday March 7, 1986 the stars and stripes Page 11 Ann Landers dear Ann Landers i was interested in the letter from the Man who enjoyed making love in the car. His wife Felt guilty and wanted to know if it was the Christian thing to do. You said so Long As it was private not dangerous and reasonably comfortable nobody s letters stocking policy at Woodland stores explained i married one in a million. She was totally uninhibited willing and eager to make love anyplace at any time. I must say we dreamed up some mighty unusual situations. We travelled quite a bit and it was not unusual for us to pull off the Road in the Middle of the Day if we ran into a wooded area a vacant House a Sandy Beach a Calm Lake or if an inviting mood came upon us and none of the above was available we just used the car. This kept up until we were in our 60s, when my beloved wife passed away. I Al ways Felt As if we had the Healthiest sex life of anyone i knew because we never stopped turning each other on. Sex was always unpredictable imaginative and fun. Our sex Ual compatibility spilled Over into All areas of our life and we were divinely Happy. You can print this letter if you want to but no name or City please. Just Call me Beautiful memories dear Beautiful How Lucky you were to find each other. It was perfect match. Lots of readers will be envious especially the Man who wrote the next letter. Dear Ann Landers my wife and i have been married 14 years. I thought i was getting a prize when i married her because she was a Virgin. Now Lam not so sure. We make love every saturday morning at precisely the same time in the same bed and the same Way. Any suggestion from me that we should try a bit of variation brings a firm rebuke from her. It in t decent it in t moral. Are you crazy Ann 1 am not a Kook nor am i inter ested in far out stuff i am just bored with the same mechanical routine. Can you Sug Gest something that might help Milwaukee wis. Dear Milwaukee i Don t know what you mean by Varia  that word can cover a wide Range of activities. Go to a Bookstore and browse around for just the right Book to give your wife. Read it and underline the parts she needs to see. Stay away from pornography. Select a High Quality sex manual. There s a world of difference. Dear Ann Landers you were dead wrong in the advice you gave to the boy who eats one thing at a time first All the peas next All the potatoes then the meat and so on. My Mother did that and her table Man ners were atrocious. She poked through a casserole like she was looking for Worms. She separated corned beef hash into two piles meat and potatoes. When she ate pie a la Mode she shoved the pie to one Side ate it first and by the time she got around to the ice Cream it was a liquid substance. Watching her eat could ruin a person s appetite. Mother lived to be 91 and her eating habits became worse As time went on. I Hope the boy s Mother puts her foot Down before he develops More mealtime oddities. . In Fla. Dear  there is nothing ill mannered or harm Ful in eating one food at a time. This is vastly different however from separating the meat from the potatoes in corned beef hash As your Mother did. I agree such behaviour is weird and unappetizing. Readers wishing to write to news America Syndi Cate columnist Landers May address their letters in care of the stars and stripes Apo 09211, . Forces time for another flight of fantasy from those Jolly jokers at cafes. For the past few weeks i be been asking the managers of several Woodland outlets the following Basic question since there Are a lot of people who must restrict their intake of sugar or Salt for medical reasons could Woodland Stock some of the diabetic or Low sugar or Low Salt products the answer will Surprise nobody who has made similar inquiries no Way. What i find particularly interesting is the variety of reasons for the inevitable refusal. When my local Woodland supervisor who was the most positive of those contacted was unable to get approval i called most of the other Woodlands in the . Among the reasons arc Hafl s is not in the specially food  Woodland is a 7-eleven operation. You would never see those products in your neighbourhood 7-elcvcn." we re overseas. We have  we tried those things about five years ago and we took a loss. Cafes is not a non profit  have you looked downtown we Don t duplicate products that Are available on the local Economy that would violate the  let s take the silliest one first. Granted i be been out of the states for some years but when i left my neighbourhood 7-Elevcn stocked diabetic Candy sugar free snack items and several Salt free products. Of course cafes has gone the giant step of putting up signs in the Burger bars to warn people who might have a reaction to sodium. A free translation is if you can t eat the same food As the rest of our customers go somewhere  i agree that cafes is not in the Spe Fialty food business. For that matter any body who replaces a cafeteria serving a variety of foods with a Burger bar serving a limited assortment of Mcdonald clone plastic food can scarcely be considered to be in any kind of food business. On the other hand sugar and Salt free foods Are no longer classed As specially items in any of the recent marketing surveys that i be seen. Over and above people who have diabetes High blood pressure or any of Sev eral conditions the emphasis on weight management has made a lot of people highly aware of the need to Cut Down on calories. Use of Salt and heavily salted products has also decreased in the states and there is no reason to believe that this trend will not be reflected Here. Of course cafes is in the Lead with helping people watch their weight. Over 30 kinds of Candy fresher pastry a full Range of snacks and cookies both kinds of Coke and As Many different brands of Beer As they can fit in the store. Balancing this they do Stock most diet soft drinks two or three appetite suppressant items and diet  normally i would ask the manager of the Lakenheath Mildenhall Complex.

Aay hobbies Are Reading dancing music and going to the theater. A. Golding 246 Wiltshire Road i Don t have a copy of the Lakin Heath phone Book so i can t say for certain whether or not the number is there. Poor Public Chr tons cafes since i can t get hold of anybody above base level How about a reply from some body in charge Why is it beyond reason to substitute a couple of kinds of diabetic Candy for one or two of the 30-plus currently stocked what about dropping one of the three kinds of chocolate Chip cookies and stocking a sugar free product if the Vord diabetic scares you you could always Label the stuff dietetic or  there arc. By the Way. Around a thousand military personnel and family members in us a it alone who Are identified diabetics. That s a pretty fair Start for a Market target. As far As the we re overseas excuse that s beneath contempt. I be been Over Here on Lour Tours Over the past 17 years. The Good managers of cafes outlets have been easy to identify Over those Many years. They never use location As an excuse for poor customer support. Nor do they use the Why Don t you go Down town bit to get rid of the customer. Thankfully the Good managers have been in the majority. On the other hand they seem to spend a lot of time making up for the negative attitude of subordinates or superiors. One other trait of the Good managers they make sure that their phone number is in the books or prominently displayed in All outlets. If cafes policy is to Cater to the majority Only How about letting us know maybe you could change those cute Little tags to read we generally care or we care As Long As you Don t press your  maybe we care is an acronym. Does it really stand for will everyone choose another retail Emporium or will everyone cease asking for reasonable efficiency or maybe with exceptional cases assistance resides elsewhere sorry about the length of this letter but this is a subject that worries me. My wife was recently identified As a diabetic and this has opened my eyes to a longstanding situation. Frankly the Lack of support by cafes for a significant percentage of the population is not what we should reason ably expect from our primary retail source. Capt. Michael a. Carter Raf Mildenhall . Editor s note master sgt. Bruce e. Zielsdorf customer relations specialist Public affairs office he cafes Europe replies have to take exception to your com ment that cafes professionals Are a Bunch of Jolly jokers with a less than we care attitude toward our customers. Simply in t fair to generalize about liter ally thousands of Loyal employees of whom almost 7,000 Are family members dedicated to serving our soldiers and airmen in Europe better. Now let s leave the generalities aside and talk Plain and simple facts. A few years ago cafes Europe stocked three line items of diabetic Candy. It was such a slow seller it was phased out and leftover Stock had to be written off. We currently Stock several lines of Chaddesden Derby de2 6fd England please publish my name in your pen .
