Dear Ann Landers,
oday's column was the last straw. Another let-ter about sex. And kinky sex, at that. I have four teenagers who fight for your part of the paper. I just die when you print such garbage and it gets worse every day. I am a mature, broad-minded per-son, but enough is enough. Like the woman whose husband wanted her to THE ANN LANDERS ENCYCLOPEDIA 1079 wear black nylon stockings and a garter belt to bed. My kids just roared. Today the 14-year-old daughter had a sore throat and we were afraid she might develop rheumatic fever. She didn't have the slightest idea what rheumatic fever was, but she knows all about VD-thanks to Ann Landers. Cool it, will you please? A MOTHER WHO LOVES HER KIDS

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:

Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.
