If you Don to i fear you will regret it to your dying  Ann Landers my husband and i recently had our first child and decided to consult a psychic. During the Reading my husband was told that he has a secret brother born outside his parents marriage. We were completely stunned by this. My Mother inlaw was widowed at a Young age. She swears she has no other children and we believe her. However my husband would like to find out if my late father in Law did indeed have a Quot secret child. Would it be appropriate to question some of his former friends now that my husband is a father he feels he must know the truth. I am extremely ambivalent. What a your opinion Ann East coast wife dear . Wife 1 think such a question would be an insult to your futher in i awl a memory a especially since you have nothing to go on but the psychics word. If your husband is hellbent on making inquiries there is nothing you can do about it but in my opinion it would be pretty Tacky. Letters to Ann Landers should be addressed to her .

A o a a a Sharp idea on safety bobs up dear Abb y \ i bought a set of knives some time ago the kind that comes with a heavy wooden Block with six slots for five knives and a Sharpener. It has no Brand name usually Sells in department stores and costs around $30. A couple of Days ago i used the smallest knife to Peel an Orange and moments later set the knife Down in the sink to answer the phone. Upon returning i was very Lucky to notice that it had fallen into the garbage disposal opening handle first and the super Sharp Blade was sticking out at such an Angle that it could have Bobbit sized a Finger or caused some serious damage to my quibble a dear Abby hand. The problem with the knife is that the handle is about 10 times As heavy As the Blade and because the handle is so Short once the knife gets close to the rim of a garbage disposal aperture it automatically Falls into it a handle first. Perhaps you could warn your readers about this danger and save some future Van Cliburn a career. Luis Campos North Hollywood Calif. Dear or.
