European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 2, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse Monday september 2, 1991 the stars and stripes a Page 19 Ann Lander dear Ann Landers an article by Jeff Walker in the Toronto Globe and mail changed my life. In a writing to you that you can pass on this terrific idea that cured me from biting and picking at my nails. I had tried everything under the Sun for 20 years and nothing worked. Please share this with your readers. Here it is put a rubber band on your wrist just tight enough to stay put. Wear it. Whenever you find yourself beginning to bite or pick at your fingers snap the rubber band against your wrist. Be sure to snap it hard enough to sting. Do it immediately and do it every time. No exceptions. No mercy. Treat your habit As an alien intruder in your life. If snapping the rubber band produces tender welts during the first few Days move the band higher lower or to the other wrist. Psychologists Call this self administered aversive conditioning. After a while your Nail biting will become inextricably tied to punishment that is far More a plea i Hope you will share this with your readers Ann. If it worked for me it is bound to work for others. Lydia s., Parksville . Dear Lydia sounds like a sensible and practical suggestion and it costs nothing to try.

We just had a talk about this and he said a maybe marriage Isnit for me and Quot maybe we got married too Young and a maybe after being with you for eight months i realize what being married to you is really my husband is in the Navy and this is the first time we have spent much time together yet he also claims that he loves me. For the past two or three months we have been trying to Start a family. This was his idea. It is hard for me to understand How a person can feel the Way he says he feels and still want to Start a family. His reply was a maybe what we need is a Abby Isnit this the wrong solution to our problem confused in Long Beach dear confused yes. Children should be brought into this world because they Are wanted not to serve As glue to hold a troubled marriage together. What you and your husband a a need to save your marriage is to discuss his reaction to your eight months of togetherness with a professional Counselor. Then decide if you Are ready to have a family.
