Dear Ann Landers, y husband is a workaholic. He regularly works on Saturdays and often on Sundays as well. He averages 10 to 12 hours a day. Our three children are grown and doing well. We have purchased annuities for them and our four grandchildren. We give generous gifts of money for birthdays and Christmas and enjoy the fact that we can. We have two cars, a lovely home, no debts and approximately $1 million in assets. Sound good? Well, we also have no hobbies. We haven't had a vacation in years except for a couple of weekends when we visited our children and their families. fi ANN LAN IIEIIS I was a professional woman and worked both inside and outside the home. We are both in our 70s. When does the fun start? -The Big Q

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:
Dear Readers, , some of your readers may have the same problem I’ve been experiencing: how to address new relatives other than by first name. I have invented some words that could be incorporated into the lan-guage. They may take a little getting used to, but after a while, they will come naturally. This is what I propose: Stepson-ston Stepdaughter-staughter Stepfather-stather or stad The Rest iit Aw Unit fits I 3 1 Stepmother-stother or stom Stepgrandfather-stampa Stepgrandmother-stamma Stepbrother-Strother (or stro if you are close) Stepsister-stister or stis Stepcousin-stousin (or stuz if you are close) Stepaunt-staunt Stepuncle-stuncle What do you think about this, Ann? Once you get the hang of it, it could be terrific. -Ray C., Tulsa
