I am another Kvetch when it comes to wind Chimes. Give me a House by the Railroad tracks any Day. Trains that made me think i was in the Middle of an earthquake did no to bother me when i lived a Block away from the tracks. This proves that one Many a junk is another Many a treasure. 1 wonder however if ones pleasure inflicts pain on others How can it continue to be pleasurable who is competent to judge what Type of Light lil noise someone else might like there Are a lot of people who actually enjoy the sound of train whistles planes zooming overhead and foghorn that Pierce the night. And in a sure the world is full of stoics who Arentt the least bit bothered by nearby dog kennels. We have neighbors who done to even hear their own dogs Barking for hours at a time. It drives us nuts Many people become so accustomed to specific noises they would feel deprived if those noises were eliminated. In a referring to loud music blaring tvs boomboxes Barking dogs foghorn wind Chimes and even the sound of kids Yelling. Those of us who do not share these neuroses maybe considered Square and Kvetch alone. ? a Colton Calif.

Dear Ann Landers i feel so sorry for that Man who hates wind Chimes. My new neighbors love Rock music and play it so loudly Ann v Landers that i can hear every Decibel in my bedroom on the opposite Side of the House. It goes on at some outlandish hours too. Tell the Man with the wind Chimes that 111 be glad to Trade houses with him anytime. 1 live in Saskatoon. Whereas he Quot. A. \ a Saskatchewan dear Sas he a in Bangor Maine a a Long drive. Forget it. Dear Ann Landers this is for your correspondent who suggested that living near wind Chimes is a lot More pleasant than living near a Railroad or a foghorn. Wrong wrong wrong. For 20 years i lived one Block from a drawbridge Complete with train whistles and foghorn. One becomes accustomed to these frequently heard sounds and tunes them out completely. Wind Chimes however Are very erratic a often silent sometimes tinkling melodiously in the Breeze sometimes clanking like crazy in a Strong wind. Those aluminium ones Are so loud they can drive you bonkers. We had neighbors a a few years ago whose aluminium Chimes drowned out our to at night and often awakened us at 3 . I put a rubber band around my wind Chimes on Windy nights out of consideration for my neighbors peace and sanity As Well As my own. I recommend it. Your fan for 30 years in Mission Viejo Calif.

A a c creators Syndicate i shoplifter dealt with super severely dear Abby my daughter got picked up for shoplifting $30 Worth of merchandise in a store where she had just spent $83.

She a manic depressive and has been under the care of a psychiatrist for the last four years. Abby i could understand them fining her maybe $100 and barring her from shopping in that store for six months or a year but for them to bar her from shopping at quibble dear Abby any of their stores for life seems terribly harsh to me. Also there Are video cameras All Over the store so the customers can be observed while they shop. Done to you think there should be signs posted advising the customers that they Are being videotaped i would appreciate knowing what you think of this. Upset in Indiana dear upset shoplifters Cost retail merchants millions of dollars annually so i can to fault them for dealing firmly with those they catch. However for a first time offender especially one who has been under the car of a psychiatrist for the last four years i would say that she received very harsh punishment.
