European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - April 12, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse                                The stars and stripes Page 11ann Landers dear Ann Landers last july my husband decided he was in love with his Best friends sex wife and asked for a divorce. The divorce was final oct. 12. On oct. 20, they were married. The following morning i had a heart attack. I found out that it happens to 40-year-old women As Well As to 65-year-old men since then my life has taken a 360-degree turn. I no longer smoke. I joined weight watchers and lost 58 pounds. I watch my Salt cholesterol and fat intake and exercise daily. How do 1 feel wonderful for the first time in my life i know what Good health is. Its Tough to admit but i owe this newfound happiness to my sex husband who dumped me. What i thought was the worst tragedy of my life turned out to be a Blessing. Ill sign this a heart smart in Oregon dear heart Many years ago i told a Reader a when life hands you a Lemon make  in be heard that line dozens of times since but you Are the Best example of someone who did it my hat is off to you lady. Dear Ann Landers since you have heard about almost everything that can happen to humanity i come to you with a rather unusual problem. I attend old time sunday afternoon dances in this rather Small town and have a great time dancing the polka Waltz and Fox Trot. I always go single and pick dancing partners from the group that shows up. Recently i picked a rather attractive heavyset lady who was wearing a tight foundation garment. Apparently there were actually two garments a top and a Bottom. Between the garments was a Ridge of fat that bulged where 1 would ordinarily place my right hand when dancing. I did no to want to place my hand too Low because it would then be on her Rump and that might have prompted a stomp on the foot or worse. I was unable to place my hand higher than the Ridge of fat because my arthritis has imposed severe limits and it is painful to raise my right Arm. So dear Ann i placed my hand Over it with one Finger on one Side of the Ridge and another Finger on the other Side. Was this proper id like your opinion in Case we dance again. I am 80 years old and done to want to mess up this late in life. . In Franklin Minn. Dear . You mess up no Way. You sound like a perfect gentleman who is very resourceful and can take care of himself no matter what. You  be asking for advice. You should be giving it dear Ann Landers recently you printed that wonderful quote from Edmund Burke a fall that is necessary for the Triumph of evil is that Good men do  1 can to resist the temptation to add these words from a speech by William Faulkner when his daughter Jill graduated from High school a never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people All Over the world in thousands of rooms like this one would do this it would change the  �?a.h.p., Memphis dear Memphis Beautiful especially now when there seems to be so much injustice lying and greed around. I Hope the �?T90s will be better than the �?T80s, which was a Money crazed scandal riddled decade that made americans ashamed. C creators Syndicate letters a writer explains difference in ferrets i would like to enlighten your readers about Fitch Domestic ferrets. There Are two species of ferrets. Mistela nig ripes is the Black foot ferret an endangered native of North America. Mistela Sutorius Furo the Fitch common or Domestic ferret is a creation of Man. The Fitch ferret never has and never will exist in the wild. As Long ago As roman times the Domestic ferret believed to be a Cross Between the european polecat and the weasel was used in Hunting rabbits and destroying rats and other vermin. Domestic ferrets Are still used for this purpose in Europe. Most ferrets nowadays Are bred for gentleness and even temperament to be used As pets. Fitch ferrets Are Domestic animals like cats and dogs. They eat cat food use a letterbox and sleep anywhere. The Only problem with ferrets is that an adult ferret who is not neutered and de scented stinks. The two operations Are relatively simple and Many pet stores sell ferrets that have had both. Once the scent glands have been removed smell is no problem. Ferrets make wonderful pets. They Are gentle Loving and playful. They steal and hide stuffed animals and follow you around. They love to curl up and sleep with you or have a game of Chase. You can put a Leash on it and it will take you for a walk. They Are extremely curious and love to meet new people and go to new places. They can be taught to ride in a bag a sweatshirt Hood and even on your shoulders which is a great Way to meet new people. If raised with love there is no better pet. Finally a Blackfoot ferret is wild just As a Tiger and a Wolf Are wild. A Fitch ferret is Domestic As Are cats and dogs. I would Hope All those involved with animals will remember this. Recently a Beautiful Loving ferret was killed because the people involved were ignorant of the fact that ferrets Are not wild animals for More information on ferrets you can Contact United ferret organization 18732 Curry powder Lane Germantown my. 20874 newsletter quarterly $ 18 or greater Chicago ferret association . Box 7093, Westchester 111. 60153. A Kitty Nash bad Tsiz West Germany term a Chow Hall archaic and inaccurate i want to note an error to an otherwise insightful Story about col. William Eckert Ramstein a base commander from june 1988 to january 1990. The writer made the following statement a the dished up airmen a Holiday dinners in the Chow Halls and a that statement is a factual error. Let me explain the men and women of Ramstein a food service operation provide More than 3,000 meals a Day to Ramstein air base Kapaun air station and Langer Kopf Rel in modern dining facilities. The archaic term a Chow Hall was used to describe the Large open facilities that provided one meat two vegetables a starch beverage and dessert to its customers with a hurry up and get them through the line attitude. About the Only Choice available to the Patron was made Between Coffee or iced Tea As he or she took the meal from the server and found the next open Metal chair to sit Down on among a sea of tables perfectly aligned in parallel rows. The facility where airmen Dine amid a modern comfortable atmosphere with a wide selection of entrees vegetables snack items desserts beverages and baked items under the a la carte system is called a dining facility. Ramstein food service Only hosts dining facilities. So you see it would have been impossible for col. Eckert to serve up Holiday meals at airmen a Chow Halls because they done to exist in the air Force not even at Basic military training. A capt. Kathleen e.
