Dear Ann Landers, ast year we loaned some money to friends. They promised to pay back $25 a month. We would not accept interest. For three months they paid the $25, then the payments stopped. Four months have gone by, and we haven't had so much as a phone call. Apparently they are ashamed to face us. It is sad that we have lost their friendship because we did them a favor. It is also sad that we are out several hundred dollars. How should such a request be han-dled in the future?-Spilled Milk
Hi! It's Margo here. I'd love to know what you think of the letters -- and the answers!
Also, any additional thoughts you might have. Thanks!

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:
Dear Readers, , fell in love, married and continue to work together. Please do yourselves a favor. One of you quit. I don’t care which one, but for the sake of your marriage, the peo-ple who have to work with you, your boss, everybody, quit. It’s unhealthy for a couple to be to-gether 24 hours a day. You can’t help but get on each other’s nerves. Re-member the old saying, “Don’t bring your work problems home.” Well, the reverse is true: “Don’t bring your home problems to work.” It’s easy to tell when you’ve had a fight. You con-tinue it on the job and make everyone uncomfortable. So please take this suggestion in spirit intended. Quit-one of you- before both of you are replaced. IN THE KNOW
