European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - December 3, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse Ann Landers dear Ann Landers. This morning i had an appointment with my doctor a Vanderbill University Hospital in Nashville. I had to me the bathroom and went into one that said women on the door. Tomy Surprise there was a Man in there who was helping his wife she was severely handicapped and in a wheelchair. I went ahead and attended to my needs. The Man never looked up when i left the stall and i did my i Best not to look at him or his woman was in the bathroom and we walked out together. She said she was furious that a Man Wouldhave lie Gall to invade a woman s bathroom and that she would have reported him but she was already late for her appointment the woman said. That creep should have taken his wife to the men s what do you think Ann Smith Grove by. , the Man did the right thing. His wife no doubt would Bare Felt 111 at ease in a men s room. He pot her feelings ahead of his for whih he ii to be admired not Serfi idled. Dear Ann Landers obviously you did t consult Webster s dictionary before giving advice to employed in California on Job Hunting. Your comment was terrific according to Webster terrific Means terrifying to excite fear a state of is another word commonly misused As a synonym for grand wonderful marvelous and fab Ulous. Webster defines fantastic As bizarre grotesque eccentric and odd.1 Hope you accept these comments in the spirit in tended. I want to be helpful because 1 consider you a Friend. J.j.r., Dallas dear Friend English is not a dead Burnage. It is dynamic and Ever Dunning especially american meaning of words is constantly in the process of being altered because of common usage. According tothe american heritage dictionary terrific also Means splendid awesome and astounding. Synonym for fantastic Are fabulous unreal remarkable and wonderful. The Best example of How the meaning of words change is the word for writing. I do not consider comments rum people who disagree with me As Imit Eiklor i learn great Deal bom my readers. There s a Tot of Wisdom out dear Ann Landers your answer to the Man who complained about his fat wife teed me off. Hurting and needing guidance sure did t get any help from you. Obviously you have never shared a bed with a fat person. Well i have and it is like sleeping on the Side of a Hill. You have the feeling that you might be crushed by an Avalanche at any moment. The Back aches and Lack of sleep caused by snoring Are awful the Decibel rating of the snoring goes up with every Pound of fat gained i took this woman for better or for worse and it s not getting any better in fact it s getting worse. I managers Best 1 can by repealing the following words every i t cause it i cannot control it nor Canning l Bueil also hurting but not needing guidance also writers hold different views of hostages this ii in response to a recent letter he feels no compassion for i read the Tetter and became inwardly Rick at it Content i really feel that this person took no time to ave thought to what he had just wrote and that thou Sands of military and civilian personnel would read beae i Ridden thoughts the recent release was truly a Joyful event this person claims that these people its. Citizens let me remind you Are now hostage for reason of personal gain or they were sticking their notes where they did not belong Over in the Middle East let s take a took at some of these hostages David Jacobsen was the director of the american University Hospital in Beirut Thomas Sutherland was the Dean of agriculture in the american University in Beirut Terry Anderson we the chief Middle East correspondent for the associated press reporting on the hostage and american troop situation. Yes it does sound like these people were in the Middle East and stayed there for personal gain and were sticking their noses where they did not it is so very easy for us who still enjoy our Freedom and the comforts of Home and family to sit Back an not feel and experience the horror and fear because we arc not directly related to these happenings. I was enraged that a Penon could say he Felt to passion when our american citizens Wens nun Dor abducted in the name of the Middle East Tso d holy War because you say no one forced Jit Ogo. Someone needs to open your Eyet. We can not every bract that these Are our people. Amen Canuti Nat we must not Stop until every one of these peo to comes Home free it a to Wright a Tenter Germany i agree Fuby with the recent letter. As the writer stated they went to Beirut in Pui t Nof Money. Then when they were kidnapped their Rew lives darted their big Campaign for Freedom. What galls even More is the three who were released no on television and denouncing the method i which they regained Freedom. At their Side. Waits condemning the Media. I would suggest they return to Beirut to try Alai their misguided efforts at making a living or convert ing those who do not want to be converted be done with the coverage of these fools. Robert Bartett bulb gab Germany newspapers Stamps taken for granted Crystal furniture wines i have heard that there Are Good buys in All these areas but i am impressed daily by what i consider to be the greatest bargains Fornall americans living abroad fortunately these bar gains Are available stateside too and in fact form a basis for our democracy. I m referring to newspapers and postage Stamps. For just pennies a Day one can buy the stars and strip Sand or subscribe to a Hometown newspaper. In this Way one can stay informed on matters of International National and local concern. For 22 pennies More one can mail a letter to representative a senator or the president expressing an opinion or offering a Point of View. Like most americans 1 take these liberties for granted but occasionally i am struck by the simplicity an Beauty of this system. The fact that our Access to news is so easy and inexpensive is no Accident nor is it by Mere Chance that we can mail a letter for lets than i costs to buy a cup of Coffee. These Are wonderful bar gains which cannot be purchased at any Price in some countries. We All have been stirred by the sight of the Ameri can Flag reminding us of the Pride we have in our country. When i see an american newspaper in the hands of a citizen living abroad i am also stirred. I am proud to see thai americans do read newspapers an make every Effort to stay informed and sometimes to write to their representatives. As Long As we continue to Avail ourselves of these bargains they will remain a great buy. Newspapers and postage Stamps these Are two bargains we just May not be Able to live without.
