Dear Ann Landers,
t's easy for you to sit there and give advice. I often wonder how much of your advice you follow. Several weeks ago you told a woman whose husband had a better job offer that they should move, even if it meant depriv- 133 mg his parents of the pleasure of their company. How much moving around have you done?-Mrs. Nosy

Dear Mrs.,
Our van log looks like this: From Sioux City, Iowa, to St. Louis. From St. Louis back to Sioux City and on to Little Rock. From Little Rock to New Orleans. From New Orleans to Milwaukee. From Milwaukee to Los Angeles. From Los Angeles to Chicago. From Chicago to Eau Claire, Wisconsin. From Eau Claire back to Chicago, where we have lived since 1955-the longest stretch in twenty-nine years of marriage. Any more questions?

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.
