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. 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,
, and I mean every-thing. Unfortunately, our mailman has a very big mouth. There is no such thing as a secret in this town. A few weeks ago my mother-in-law wrote the following message on a card: “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 208
