European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - March 6, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Wednesday March 6,1991 the stars and stripes a Page 19 Ann Landers dear Ann Landers a a a a i am 87 years old. My wife is 81. We have been married 60 years. / when our methodist minister said a still death do you part a we knew exactly what he in giant and. We took Quot him seriously. Its too bad More couples done to think this Way today. But what i am writing about has nothing to do with our marriage i want to complain about the Way they make menus clothing these Days. L the tiny buttons on men is shirts Are ridiculous. If a person has even a Little bit of arthritis it is impossible to do a darned thing with those buttons. A 2. Why do they put collars on menus pyjamas for heavens Sake its a waste of material and they done to serve any purpose whatsoever. What a wrong with the old a neck 3. Pants pockets Are Way too Small. The average Wallet will fit in Only one Way and its a struggle to get it 4. Undershirts Are never Long enough and they come three in a package. Why what if a person wants Only one a 5. Shoelaces come in such Short lengths that a person cannot tie a decent Bow knot. And the Quality is awfully poor these Days. People would be Happy to pay a Little More for a Shoelace that did no to break so fast. I am too old to lose my temper every time i get dressed so please Ann see what you can do to it the manufacturers to be sensible what you say packs a bigger Wallop than any paid and. Longtime Reader in Virginia. Dear  i loved your letter. It made a lot of sense to me. I Hope the manufacturers will pay attention to what you today s crossword dear Abby dear Abby i agree with the letter stating that pizza deliverers should receive tips just As Good servers in restaurants do. However i am puzzled As to who else is entitled to tips. Recently my husband and i had professional movers transport our furniture from a townhouse to a new House 10 Miles away. We had a lot of furniture so it Wasny to cheap. When they finished the Job i was presented with a Bill on which was written a tips Are optional but Are  i was dumbfounded As i had never tipped movers before. I told them 1 had no Cash  Man said a ooh checks Are Fine a 1 Felt a Little intimidated but i wrote a Check for the move itself and made out another Check for the movers for roughly 10 percent. No big Deal but now in a wondering who else is going to hit me up for tips. Since we be moved we be had new furniture delivered carpet cleaned and Cable hooked up and although none of these Guys were Forward enough to Sug have written. You be provided them with a million Dol Lars Worth of consumer research and it did no to Cost them a cent. Dear Ann Landers is there a Legal Way to divorce or disown a child if not i would like to be a Pioneer and Start a new movement. A a a a. Quot a a  -. A a a a a. A a a a a a while i was in the Hospital suffering like a dog with a bleeding ulcer and hoping id die i suddenly thought of another Way out of my dilemma a child divorce. Our 28-year-old son is on drugs he is a College graduate divorced and lives with my husband and me when he is not wallowing in the Gutter in jail pro a recovering in a rehab  savings Are depleted and we can to afford to throw away any More Money on our son. All we be Learned from this Nightmare is that we have done everything possible to help him and that we Are not to blame for his failures in life. At this moment he has checked out of yet another rehab Center and we expect him to show up at any time we changed the locks and put his belongings on the porch but it wont solve the problem he always finds a Way to get Back into the House. We Are at the end of our rope with this Guy. He has Cost us a Fortune and caused endless trouble. If you can come up with a solution you re a magician. Ohio dear Ohio you have no Legal obligation to a 28-year-old. Your son has been an adult for several years. There comes a time in life when you must accept the fact that you have exhausted every possibility extended yourself Over and beyond the Call of duty and there is nothing More you can do. So sign off Call it a Day and get on with your lives. A a a a. A a a. A a a a a a a v v a a a. A a a a a c creators Syndicate. Letters to Ann Landers May be addressed in care of the stars and stripes Apo new York 09211, and they will be forwarded to her. Gest tips i wondered if maybe they weren to expecting something. Can you give me some guidelines my husband and i Are generous when it comes to tipping food servers hairdressers Barbers bellmen etc., but frankly wed go broke if we tipped every delivery service person who came to the House especially when we re already paying for the service itself. But if we Are expected to tip these people what percentage is appropriate tapped out Tipper dear tapped out How much or if one tips is strictly a personal decision. If you have made a Purchase from a store that delivers there is no need to the delivery person. If its a pharmacy that sends a kid out on a bicycle a tip the kid and watch his face Light up personal services such As those offered in Beauty and Barber shops rate tips. And be generous to shoe shiners a they live on tips. Ditto parking attendants and supermarket carry out people.
