European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - March 14, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse                                The stars and stripes a Page 11ann Landers dear Ann Landers its l 30 a.m., and i can t sleep. But that a not Why in a writing. I want you to help me say thank you to my wife. We both have full time jobs and there is plenty to do to keep this household running. Tonight As we were climbing into bed my wife realized that she had one More Load of laundry to move from the Washer to the dryer. I knew if she went to do it id be sound asleep before she returned so 1 convinced her to stay in bed and snuggle and soon we were both snoozing. I awoke about 12 15. I knew she needed some of the clothes in the Washer to Wear to her Job the next Day so i figured id just toss them in the dryer. When i got there the dryer was full and so was the clean clothes Basket. I started to fold and stack underwear and socks to make room for the next Load. Ann there were at least 100 pieces to handle from just one Load and in a sure my wife does at least four or five loads every week. Well 35 minutes later while standing on that cold Cement floor i had a much deeper appreciation for what my wife does several times a week with never a complaint. I decided not to sign my name because there Are probably thousands of women out there who would fit this description and id like each one to think this thank you is from a grateful mate. A a Lucky Guy Canton Ohio dear Lucky sorry i blew your cover by printing the name of your City but a husband who is As terrific As you should get a Little special recognition. I say you Are both Lucky. Hand your wife the paper and Tell iter she a in the Ann Landers column today. Dear Ann Landers my son had a Large Black Panther tattooed on his upper when he turned 18 last year. It did no to matter to me one Way or the other because i knew it was something he had wanted for a Long time. Now for the problem a a Dan is sorry he had it done. He says it looks cheap and makes him feel like a bum. He is obsessed with that Tattoo and it is making him miserable. I checked with a doctor who said it would Cost $1,400 to $3,000 to have the Tattoo removed surgically. He warned Dan that there might be a scar. Ann please Check with some of your experts and offer some advice. Dan knows i am writing and we Are both eager for a response. A concerned in Massachusetts dear Massachusets i spoke with or. Mary Ellen Brademas assistant clinical professor of dermatology at new York University. This is what or. Brademas said there Are several techniques for removing tattoos and none is perfect. The Young Man can have dermabrasion sanding the top layers of ski laser treatment or the solution mentioned by his Mother surgical removal the Cost your correspondent was quoted for the latter seems excessive. The method of removal should be de termed by the doctor. The decision would be based on the size and location of the Tattoo As Well As the depth of the coloration. No matter which technique is used there is almost certain to be a scar. Perhaps a satisfactory and much Ess expensive solution might be a Cream or liquid to cover the Tattoo. Either cover Mark by Lydia of Leary or leg and body cover by Derma blend Are excellent. Both can be purchased in department stores.
