He had rouble handling pres sure and look it out on me. When he tailed to pass the bar exam i stood by pregnant sick As a dog Tor six months worried about our future and gave him Pep Uiko regularly. The second Lime he look the bar he passed but he could t find a Job for nine months. He stayed at Home and watched the baby while i went to work. He would Call me at the office severe times a Day hollering and screaming about How fru Streitl he was. When i got Home he would run past me to get out of the House and not re ruin for three or four hours. He said he had to work out at the gym o keep from going nuts. During those incredibly trying months when he was t working i was scared to death to leave the baby alone with him. He behaved irrationally and was very irritable and Short tempered. When he finally found a Job it was 2,000 Mijes away. The baby and i followed. H is position is prestigious but now he does t like it. He blames me for everything that goes wrong finds fault with my cooking complains that  not earning enough Money and says i am not intellectually stimulating three times in seven months i have packed to go Home but 1 lose my Nerv and nay. There s nothing to go Home to. My family is Strug gling 0 a by and can t help me. 1 am torn Between slaying with my husband and going Home to hard times. I also worry that he will have a breakdown if 1 leave. Please Ann Tell me what to do. Tortured in Denver dear Denver insult but you husband it professional help and treat you decently. Give him in. Months to shape up. If Rhett i no improvement leave. Yoa Are better off done Usu with an immature mean spirited nun who uses Yon As whipping Pott and an outlet for his frustrations. If you find yourself unable to leave after All the punishment you be taken Yon need professional help. Dear Aon Landers i am a senior citizen who has lost three or four inches in height the last few years. This As you know is Purt of the natural aging process. It is very de pressing to be reminded daily that i am shrinking. I am meticulous about grooming. I dress in excellent taste and always look my Best but i have no control Over my height. Why can t people understand this my husband is the most important person in my life. Every Day he says Honey you Are just  hit compliments make me feel wonderful until some Friend tells me that i look like an Elf any advice Ann annoyed in Arizona dear a. In Ariz stand Ull both figuratively and i Henlly and ignore the clods. If they tire Long enough they will probably gel the same comments. Dear Ann Landers now it can be told. The . Army developed the aids virus to curb the population explosion in Haiti and Africa and Cut Down the number of sex perverts in new York and san Francisco. Eliminating these undesirables will make it a belter world. No sane person will disagree. Right . Brilliant Indiana dear Indian . Nuts. I wish ill the people who think like Yon Widd join hands and fall into the stack Holt of Calcutta utter to be heard from again. Letters teachers payroll office is defended i have read articles in the stars and stripes recently about Dodds teachers in Germany not receiving their paychecks the first or second pay period of the school year. Everyone Biamchi the payroll office of course. I used to work in the teachers pay Section of the civilian pay office and i would like to inform everyone that in in t always their fault. Sometimes the co fails to Send the documents in Lime to enter the information into inc computer for the payroll. The payroll office has a strict deadline and anything received after the deadline has to Wail until the next pay period. If the deadline was extended to accommodate 1he Laic arriving documents the whole payroll would be Laie. Then in would t be Jusi Dodds teachers screaming about i hair paychecks All . Army employed civilians in Germany would be affected by a Laie payroll. I m not trying to put All the blame on the co either. People just Don t realize All the work involved with gov eminent employees. The co has plenty of paper work to do before it can Send the documents to to Lvi payroll office. Then the payroll clerks have to process it through the computer before an employee can be paid. It s very tedious and time consuming. And with so Many new teach ers and teachers transferring from one school to another it s very hectic at this Lime of the year. In the article a High school principal who had visited the finance office said there arc papers stacked up All Over the  let me assure you that this i not the Norm. I Don t think things have changed thai drastically since t was there. Very possibly there Are several new employees in the payroll office. Clerks who have worked there awhile have to train new peo ple i Ich takes Lime and the new employees work slower than experienced payroll clerks. This article also stated that hundreds of teachers were paid Lea than they were entitled to. That happens quite often with new employees. The co starts them out As class i slip i until they receive verification of previous experience. That Means even More work for the finance office. Pint they have to change the information in the computer to reflect the new pay then they have to audit All pay periods thus far and pay die teachers Back pay. While Iii admit i Don t know he reason for the current problems i do know that the teachers pay office does everything possible to ensure the teachers get paid. When i worked there Fin thing that was in the office by inc deadline was put into the computer Evv if in mean working until 8 . We worked late Ery night for almost two months at the beginning of the school year and even most saturdays to process the paper work. However keep in mind there Are about 0,900 teachers and Only about 20 employees in Ibe teachers pay Section. And to the same High school principal who was also quoted As saying the army finance Center is an office i would not want to work in please be advised sir that i would gladly work there again. I would be employed at the finance office right now if i did t live More than an hour away from it. I understand How hard in is 10 try to get along with out a paycheck bul please have a heart. The employees at the finance office Are Only human. Denis Hall a hot lantern suggestion offered to fight killer bees recently an article was printed about the millions of dollars spent trying to prevent the mexican killer Bee from spreading. Mexico and other nations have agreed to spend s3 million annually until 1990 on various techniques biological be meal and mechanical. Meanwhile people Are starving. In May not be Worth much bul As a concerned individual i would like to offer a Small suggestion. Recently i became an Active duty army member working in the food serv be area. I have discovered that bees Are extremely attracted to an onion scent As every time i work with fresh onions i am followed by bees and they tend to stay near my hands. I cannot understand so Many millions of dollars being spent on research to Stop these killer bees when the answer might be As simple As the skin or scent of an onion to attract a swarm. Has something similar been tried i Don t know where else to write and Hope you might shed some it in on this subject or at least direct me to somewhere Elif i May write. Spec.4 Judith q.
