Dear Ann Landers,
"It's too bad the bank turned down your loan. I wish I could send you the money but I can't right now. If you would like me to speak to your Uncle Leonard, I will do so. You did pay back the money you borrowed from him to buy the car, didn't you?" I boiled for weeks over that one. My husband said I was "sensitive." This morning I received a card from her which said: "If you aren't have any success getting pregnant, Alice, why not talk to Martha? Maybe she will pass along some secret hints." What do you think about this, Ann?-Just Burning

Dear Just,
Personal business should not be written on postal cards, even if your mailman has a small mouth. Send your mother-in-law a box of self-addressed stamped envelopes with cards inside and tell her you'd appreciate it if she'd use them.
