Why did i slay with Dick because there were Many Good Days and i chose to dwell on them rather than the bad Days. Because of the children. Be cause i was afraid to be alone. Because i thought it was my fault. When a woman does t want to do some thing she can think of a lot of reasons four years ago i went into therapy and finally found the strength to divorce him. It was extremely difficult to do but i knew had to get out of that marriage and was proud of myself when finally did it i Learned just this week thai Dick had been seeing other women since 1968. We were married in i960, my sister knew it from the beginning. She also knew the hell i was going through. Had she told me that he was having affairs i would have divorced him and gotten on with my life. Now i feel betrayed not Only by Dick but by my sister.

Page 11 letters writer s query on waterbeds answered i would like to know what the us a eur and army policy is regarding use of waterbeds in government quarters. 1 have heard several different versions from housing representatives and from individuals who live in hous ing. Some say you can have Walcer bids but Only on the ground floor. Others say waterbeds arc prohibited some say they re allowed. If Watert Ted Are prohibited i would like to know Why. Those who Lay Waler bids arc prohibited say it s because of weight or danger of leakage. However Nei ther of those reasons hold Walcer no Pun intended. Almost All Waler bids Are built so As to distribute their weight Over a Large amount of surface area. Therefore floor is More Likely to collapse of its own weight which is possible with army construction Stan Dards than from the weight of a Waler cd. Are pianos refrigerators shrank Oak desks and other heavy items similarly banned Why not these items can be just As heavy and usually concentrate their weight on four distinct Points wheels legs casters Etc. So the weight argument in t valid unless similar weighty items Are also restricted. As for the leakage argument 1 would like to Sec the hands of anyone who has Ever actually seen a watch Rcd leak massive amounts of water onto a floor. No one t know my while red is unconditionally guaranteed never to leak we re much More Likely to experience water damage from Frozen pipes people leaving their water running while on vacation or Leaky roofs. So Lei s classify the leakage argument with All Ilic other old wives talks where it belongs. The tiny double Beds furnished by the government Are Lumpy and detrimental to my wife s frequent Back pain. So what is the policy is it the same in every hous ing District thank you in Advance for your help in Clearing up ills question.
