My wife was a Quot wonderful person and we had Many Happy years together. In the last six months i have had 17 dates. Dozens of Well meaning friends and family members had just a the right woman for me. At this moment i feel like a Laboratory Frog that has been dissected and scrutinized under a Microscope not one of the 17 women i dated had the slightest interest in what i thought about anything. No one asked a single question. They were not interested in hearing about my four Fine children who Are now Young men with Good careers and families of their own. All they wanted to talk about was my income my assets the Market value of my Home and whether i had any Good investments. 1 am so disgusted that i done to feel like going out on another Date 1�?Tyc just about decided to stay single for the rest of my life which is a shame because i have a lot to offer and i really would like to be married again.

We stayed at a Lovely hotel which was clean and comfortable. Upon arriving we noticed an envelope on the Dresser saying a Dyan is your housekeeper for the  each Day we received fresh towels the Beds were made and the bathroom was cleaned. My questions is it necessary to tip Dyan for her services Isnit the service she performs part of what we Are entitled to when we pay for the use of the room i am a waitress in Massachusetts and i make $2,23 an hour. I also have to pay income tax on my tips. I done to want to be insensitive but if Dyan receives at least minimum wage per hour and does not have to pay taxes on her tips Why must we tip her what is the proper procedure Ann we did not leave anything in the envelope and now i am wondering whether or not we should have. A unsure in Massachusetts dear unsure 1 always tip the hotel or Motel maid. Whether she has to pay taxes on her tips is of no importance to me. You would not believe the condition in which some of those rooms arc left. As far As in a concerned the maids who clean them arc entitled to something extra. A creators Syndicate inc. You need to resolve this and put it behind you. If your. Husband values his marriage he will get into counselling with you. If he refuses go without him. Your husband appears to have a lot of growing up to do. He also May have a drinking problem and unless he changes his behaviour and gets help he could Wake up one Day and discover that he has thrown away a Good wife and three children. Dear Abby car seating arrangements in America Are usually determined by the social class of the people involved. If one working class couple picks up another couple the husband and wife whose car it is will usually sit in the front seat and the guest husband and wife in the backseat. Middle class the two husbands sit in the front the two wives in the Back. Upper class the woman guest sits in the front passenger seat next to the Host Driver while the hostess sits in the Back with the guest husband.
