Dear Ann Landers,
was deeply disappointed in your answer to "Oys-Gashpilt." The poor gal was sick and tired of carrying the financial load for her husband. You gave her pre-cious little comfort. To begin with, I don't know if you speak German but "Oys-Gashpilt" means "played-out." After twenty- five years of pullin' that barge and totin' that bale, it's easy to see how a wife could be fed up. You told her the guy had tried and financial failure is no reason to leave a husband. You ad-vised her to stick with the lummox because "Cary Grant is not waiting for you." For your information, Cary Grant has passed his sixtieth birthday, so it is possible that he, too, is "Oys-Gash-pilt." You flubbed it, Annie.-One Admirer Less
