European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - April 16, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Ann Landers dear Ann Landers i am appalled by a to series that plays tapes of the desperate people who phone 911 pleading for help. A recent recording was especially upsetting because it was from a 14-year-old girl trapped in a fire. She died soon after. It is sickening to hear those awful last moments. How dehumanizing for the victims to have their private horrors broadcast for All the world to hear. It must be extremely difficult for their loved ones. In be heard recordings on local and National news broadcasts of women whose estranged husbands were killing them men pleading for Protection against drunk or psychotic women and children begging into the Telephone to be rescued from abusive caretakers. Have these news broadcasters no sense of decency does anyone have permission to play such recordings in be written the to station but i doubt that it will do much Good unless others complain. Please respond in print. Sick of exploitation Davis Calif. Dear Davis unfortunately Many people consider catastrophes and disasters great entertainment. If this were not the Case there would be no Market for the gruesome programs you describe. What you heard sounds like invasion of privacy but dear Abby dear Abby yesterday i read in the Juneau Alaska Empire your list of symptoms for detecting diabetes. Had i seen it two months ago l would have insisted that my daughter consult a doctor immediately. When she called last month from her Home in new York she complained of several symptoms you named for diabetes. She would have scored 13 on your scale which indicated that a score of above five suggests possible diabetes. A a. My daughter eventually saw a doctor who said that had she waited a Day longer she might have fallen into a fatal coma As bad As she Felt the doctor said she did no to feel nearly As sick As she was. Please warn your readers Abby that if they have the symptoms even if they done to feel very sick they May be in grave danger. John b. Do Armand Juneau Alaska dear John do Armand thank you for writing. Some readers have complained about the number of letters i use concerning diseases but now that we know that Early detection can save lives i feel More or less vindicated. Readers who want More information on diabetes please Contact the american diabetes association National Center 1660 Duke st., Alexandria a. 22314. The toll free Telephone number is 800 232-3472. Quibble tuesday. April 16, 1991 some people could t care less about the families of the bereaved and apparently there Are no Laws to protect them. I find this not Only revolting but a sad commentary on the insensitivity and bad taste of too Many people. A. A a a a a Quot a a a a a a a. A a a. A Quot v. Dear Ann Landers this is in response to the letter from the son who invited his dad to the wedding but excluded his dad s new wife. Its time for some new rules. I have worn All the hats a wife Mother sex wife single Mother other woman new wife and Stepmother. Because in be had so much experience i feel qualified to speak out. I agree with you Ann that weddings Are not the time to punish former spouses. It should be the Bride and grooms Day. Too often the weddings of the children Are seized upon As a grand Opportunity to a get  i have three More weddings to go and my sex husband is not speaking to me. Will you please Wade through All the garbage and put the solution in a nutshell . In Honolulu dear Honolulu each situation is different but after serving As referee for at least 1,000 of these fights i would say the Best Rule to follow is this one let the Bride and Groom decide who they want to invite and their decision should be final. Granted there Are bound to be some Hurt feel a Ings and unhappy people but the two principal characters should have the last word. C creators Syndicate. Dear Abby this is in response to the person who wrote that insulting a a cat a  that person obviously never had a cat and its probably just As Well. I am submitting a cats prayer by someone who genuinely loves cats. A cats prayer dear human companion please keep in mind that we came to be together for our need for Mutual companionship and affection. My affection is not born of Blind obedience yet in my own Way i am a most Loving and companionable animal. I ask that you show me proper respect and remember that i am a naturally clean being. Therefore 1 expect you to feed me from a clean dish and to keep my water bowl clean and fresh. Naturally if i share your Home i expect you to keep my litter Box properly clean. 1  dream of soiling your possessions unless you provoke me beyond All reasonable limits by your own filthy habits. Although i May seem aloof and reserved my love and affection is genuine. Understand that the ways of a dog Are not my ways and if you mistreat me i will leave the first Chance i get. I will never be much of a pet but if you meet me Halfway i will happily be a Loving companion for life Carolyn Quot Mobley Huntsville Ala. Dear Carolyn the prayer is for the most part Lovely but for a cat to accuse its owner of having a filthy habits is risky. C Universal press Syndicate.
