European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - November 27, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse Ann Landers dear Ann Landers in a writing to respond to your correspondent who complained about clods who fail to return the . Cards for weddings. I May have been one of those who caused her to be upset and if so i apologize j one reason i did no to return the card is that i assumed the invitation was simply an announcement or an attempt to haul in one More gift. If this seems like a harsh assessment let me be More Ero licit. Actually there were five reasons for not responding. 1. I had never met the woman or her daughter the Bride. 2.1 Hadnot seen the Groom since he was 2 years old. 3. In be seen the grooms parents Only once in the last 20 years and that was approximately 12 years ago. 4.1 live 2,000 Miles away. 5. There was no self addressed stamped envelope. Another reason i did not return the card is because there was no place to indicate i was not coming Only a space to write my name and another space to indicate the number of persons attending. Frankly Ann i had no interest in travelling across the country to be with people who were virtual strangers.

Dear Ann Landers i can to believe what happened to me and my wife last Friday evening. An attractive couple moved into our neighbourhood a few weeks ago. My wife and i As a welcoming gesture invited them to be our guests at a Nice seafood restaurant. After we were seated i summoned the waitress who proceeded to take our orders. My wife and i selected Catfish and so did or. X. Mrs. X questioned the waitress As to the choices of fish. The waitress told her the Catfish was 40 cents More than the Ocean fish. After several questions about whether the Catfish was Fried broiled baked or sauteed mrs. X ordered the Ocean fish. As we left the restaurant mrs. X turned to me and said a you owe me 40 i was taken by Surprise at her Businesslike tone of voice and asked a what for a she replied a because i ordered the cheaper 1 was stunned but handed her 40 cents. She put it in her zippered Coin purse without saying a word. My question is do we Overlook such rudeness and give this couple another Chance her husband witnessed the entire Exchange and said nothing. Other than this they seem to be an interesting couple. Baton Rouge la. Dear Baton now its their turn to invite you to dinner. If they do by All Means accept. I have a Hunch that woman has an off beat sense of humor and the 40-cent fish Story was her idea of a huge joke. C creators Syndicate inc. Freedom rings look and listen.
