European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - July 18, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 14 b the stars and Stripe Sann Landers dear Ann Landers i will try to make this As Brief and simple As possible but there is an awful lot to Tell. I speak for a family that is desperate. My Mother in Law inherited More than $80,000 in 1980. She was 69 at the time. The woman is now 80 years old Blind and has less than $1,000 left. My husband is her Only child and it is up to us to take care of her. We Are people of modest Means. When my husband took Over for his Mother he had Access to her Bank statements. He was stunned to discover that almost All her Money went to to evangelists. Is there any Way we can recover some of this Money can we demand an accounting from the recipients As to where the Money went How can we get her name off the lists of the to preachers please give us some answers Ann. We done to know where else to turn. Ripped off in Kansas dear Kansas there is no Way you Are going to get your Mother in Laws Money Back and the chances of receiving an accounting Are slim. It is virtually impossible to get off a mailing list once you Are on it. Dear Ann Landers you sure Laid air  with your response to a frantic in the big do who has been married for three years to a Man with a 16-year-old son who lives with them. The dear Abby dear Abby i served in the . Navy from february �?T87 until february �?T91. I served the better part of that time overseas in the Philippines working As a postal clerk at the Fleet mail Center Subic Bay naval facilities. I still Wear my dog tags All the time and sometimes people will Sec them and ask a were you Over there a meaning saudi Arabi and i say a no i was in the Philippines most of the  then they usay a ooh a like a no big  1 can speak for most of the people i worked with that it was no picnic. Several coup attempts took place while i was there. A Marine sergeant was killed about three blocks from my House Abby i would like people to know that even though we weren to Over there a we did our part during the persian Gulf crisis. Sailor Taylor dear Sailor you make an excellent Point. Every Man and woman who served in any Branch of the armed forces a whether or not they were in a shooting War a did their part. Dear Abby this concerns a Illinois victim a who was being beaten by a Man in her Yard and the neighbor who did no to even Call the police. His comment a i did no to want to get involved interested me. Thursday july 18, 1991 kid is a Slob and inexcusably rude to his Stepmother. She and the sex wife have started to have words and the husband refuses to discipline his son. You suggested joint counselling for everybody in this psycho drama and hoped that the Counselor would make it Clear that the sex wife a overnight visits should Stop. This is what you should have said dear frantic the next time your husbands sex wife phones to say she is coming Tell her you Are out of the hotel business. When she wants to see her son she can invite him to her Home. You should then grab the kid by the Collar and Tell him to keep advil Tongue in his head and Start picking up after himself no ifs ands or buts. When your husband gets Home tonight first Tell him that you love him and that you want your marriage to succeed. Make sure he understands that you Are fighting to preserve your marriage and that you expect him to cooperate. If he does no to come through Tell him that he and the kid can both pack their bags. I did this and my husband straightened up right away. Been there in Detroit dear Detroit you sound like a pretty Tough cookie but i can to argue with Success. The brass Knuckles approach worked for you. In defense of my advice which you obviously thought was Lousy you might consider the possibility that sometimes it takes different strokes for different folks. C creators Syndicate some time ago i saw a Driver who appeared to be drunk cause a serious Accident. I immediately called the police to Tell them i had seen an Accident no one even wanted to take my name or Telephone number. After 10 Calls one hour later someone grudgingly took my name and phone number saying a someone will Call  nobody called until six months later when i got a subpoena through the mail demanding that i appear in court. In Large letters was this threat a if you fail to appear in court a warrant will be issued for your  Abby in the school where i teach if a teacher takes a Day off the teacher must pay the substitute. I got a substitute for the Day of the trial Only to be called that morning at 8 30 and told that the Case had been postponed it was too late to cancel the substitute so i lost that Days  i got a notice for the next court Date which Means i will have to hire another substitute.
