Dear Ann Landers,
I don't need to phone you. I don't doubt for a minute that the incident occurred. I wonder how many woman over 40 who are reading this can get their big toe up to their mouth? I tried it and finally succeeded, but it was one gigantic struggle. Shortly after this column appeared, I received a letter fi'om. an angry woman whose mother tried to put her toe in her mouth and wound up in the hospital with a wrenched back. What Went Wrong This is the story of four people. Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought that Somebody would do it. But Nobody asked Anybody. It ended up that the job wasn't done and Everybody blamed Somebody, when actually Nobody asked Anybody.

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.

Tell us what you think?
