Dear Ann Landers,
o you know why so many women complain about insufficient physical attention from their husbands? Well, I can tell you. It's because their timing is lousy, that's why. Most men come home from work about 6 p.m., exhausted from fighting with employees, associates, bosses and the worst kooks of all- customers. The minute he hits the door, the kids are on him. Gloria needs a new dress for a party. Junior wants an electric guitar. All through dinner, the kids are campaigning and the little woman is in there backing up the kids. When dinner is over, the wife starts on what she needs. "The washer broke down today. It'll cost so much to get it fixed we really ought to buy a new one." "My mother needs an operation. You know who is going to have to pay for it." "The living room rug is so shabby I'm ashamed to have people in. I saw a real bargain advertised in the paper...." All this chatter goes on and on until the lights go out. And then-zowie! In two seconds, the husband is supposed to turn into a sex maniac. This has happened so many times at our house that I'm sure it hap-pens in thousands of other houses. So stop sending people to doctors, Ann. Tell the wives to improve their timing and they won't be so frus-trated.

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?
