European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - June 2, 1992, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 20 a the stars and stripes 31 dear Ann Landers i m a 20-year-old woman who has to talk a Friend out of suicide at least three times a week. A Tom Quot says that his life depends on me and that if he does t live to see his 22nd birthday it will be my fault. I met Tom when we were both in High school. Some of the kids made fun of him because he has a congenital deformity. As a child he had several surgeries on his face and looks pretty Good but not completely Normal. I Felt sorry for him and became his Friend. There was never any Romance Between us and i was sure he knew that last year Tom introduced me to a pal of his because he thought we would be perfect for each other. He was right but now he regrets it because he wants me for himself. Tom has been sending me Flowers and expensive gifts and when i Tell him to please Slop he becomes angry. He is beginning to make my life miserable by phoning at least 10 times a Day and to not exaggerating. He sometimes Calls at 3 . Or 4 and wakes up even Yoke in the House. When i Tell him he has no right to phone at such hours he starts to cry and says that he has a gun to his head and that if i hang up be will kill himself. In be begged him to see a psychiatrist but he refuses. What can i do this Guy is driving me up the Wall and i feel totally helpless.

Tam is mentally unstable. It heaven forbid he a bold take his Awn life. It is net your Soaft. Dear Ann Landers when 1 read the letter from a Earnest but numberless a who complained about people who leave messages on answering machines but fail to leave their phone number i knew i had to write. 1 work in a store and spend hours every week calling customers about their special orders. I know very Well that a big part of the problem is the kind of greeting that is put on the answering machine. It is frustrating to hear a a in a not Home a leave a message because you have no idea whether or not you be reached the Correct number. Another annoyance is when you run into a 4-year-old kid who instructs you to leave your name. In a sure the parents of these children think its cute but i can assure you that most people done to appreciate being instructed Fay a 4-year-old. I ran across one nut recently who bad trained his Parrot to say a wait for the that darned Bird gave me the creeps. Maybe in a crazy but i think a person has the right to oped a human voice on the other end of the line when be makes a Call. Its too bad some people done to realize the Telephone is not a toy. It is truly one of the most fantastic inventions of the age and should be accorded the dignity it deserves. A Michigan Reader dear Michigan your message came through loud and dear and i thank you.
