About six months ago a very Good looking Guy with personality plus moved into the area. Everyone took a liking to a a Freddie and went out of their Way to be Nice to him because he was still grieving Over the loss of his wife to cancer. I invited him Over for a Home cooked meal and eventually we started to Date. Everything was wonderful until i noticed that he was drinking a Little too much. After a few months he began to forget dates and when he did remember he was too drunk to be a decent companion. Sex became a thing of by saving getting Over his wife a death. That was Fine for a while but suddenly it dawned on me that Many of Freddie a stories were conflicting. I became suspicious and decided to have the Guy investigated. It was rather expensive but believe me it was Worth every Penny. The information proved that he had never been married to a woman who had died of cancer. His Girlfriend however was married to another Man at the time she was murdered. Freddie was a prime suspect but nothing was Ever proved.

Experience plus dear experience thanks for a real Eye opener. You be proven that love can be not Only Blind but deaf and dumb As Well. Dear Ann Landers please Tell readers that it is inappropriate to ask parents of adopted children about their child a biological parents. In the six months we be had our chosen child at least 100 people have asked a what do you know about her real parents a i would love to say a a it a really none of your business a but in be never had the nerve. A it so happens that this Little girl was sexually and physically abused by her father before she was 5, then abandoned she lived on the streets with 10 Brothers and Sisters in a Central american country for three years before they were All taken into a Catholic orphanage. The Point i want to make is that an adopted child a past is intensely personal so please done to pry. A no name no City dear . V a there a a simple solution to the problem.

Dear Anonymous Beautiful thank you for an astute solution to a thorny problem. A Gem of the Day have you noticed that the folks who say a Money Isnit everything a usually have a lot of it c creators Syndicate.  a reminder for Drivers to use headlights i have been living in Germany for several years now and something that never ceases to amaze me is the ignorance shown by so Many individuals americans and germans in regards to driving without their head lights on when visibility is limited. In a talking about the hour of so before sunup and also when heavy Dew has fogged up All the car windows. These individuals seem to think they can see Well enough to drive without their lights on but they fail to realize that the other Drivers might not be Able to see them. During times when fog or Dew is heavy i always clean my car windows thoroughly before leaving for work in the morning. However the Dew immediately reforms and disability is limited until the Heater defroster has had a Chance to do its Job i can to count the times when on the Way to work a car has appeared out of nowhere. More than once Vve had to take evasive action at the last moment to avoid an Accident a simply because i  Sec the other car without its headlights on. The Point is an Accident is an Accident regardless of Why it happened. Its everyone s responsibility to practice defensive driving a and making sure the other Drivers Sec you is a very important part of avoiding these accidents. Come on Drivers give us Alt a break and turn those lights on. The Accident you prevent May be your own a Gerald a cattery Kaiserslautern Germany a comments on Japan s alleged racism i. Had hard feelings after 1 read a letter about japanese �?oracism.�?�, one mistake should not be judged by the mixed up matters in the past and present. In a not saying its just a mistake. I understand this kind of speech made by the japanese governor made Many americans upset. But let me remind you All we Are experiencing All kinds of a a racism All Over the world especially in America toward americans. Was astonished to find out How it has been and is when i went to America. It does no to involve just Blacks also All asians. I agree there Are so Many aggravating people who speak nonsense. I was one of Many victims treated unreasonably by the people who were supposed to have better sense and wider vision. This happened in a big american corporation where i worked 4 i years but ats i met several people who stood up beside me by the name of american patriots. I wonder How Many americans do know or remember where the words of Freedom Equality Justice and humanity came from. I am not taking the Side of a japanese person who caused this uproar because i am from Japan but i know this caused Many japanese people who know better to be upset also. In a a naturalized american citizen with an american husband and children and am proud of being a military member make sure you done to take this the wrong Way a Kamiko a Duvall _ Raf Lakenheath England a Reader offers Way to motivate Congress Congress inability to solve the recent budget crisis expeditiously leads me to believe that they were not properly motivated. V perhaps they should be motivated the Way the College of cardinals was in the ancient Catholic Church when selecting a new Pope. \ Pope Gregory a whose own election lasted nearly three years implemented procedures to expedite the process. .7. A a a a. A. A a a a. He imposed very strict regulations involving confinement Ana secrecy. A a the election was to be held within 10 Days of the death of the previous Pope in a place from which the cardinals would not be released until the new Pope had been elected. A. After three Days if no vote had been held the cardinals were reduced to one meal a Day. After five Days of this they were reduced to bread and water. Maybe a a a leaner Congress would be. A Little More motivated to solve its problems quickly. Just an idea. A capt Scott j.
