Dear Ann Landers,
am in sympathy with the long-suffering physician's wife who wrote to say her husband had to give up going to church on Sunday because he was constantly pestered by people who wanted curb-stone opinions and free medical advice. A

dear friend of mine solved the problem in this manner,
The town bore, who was notorious for chiseling everything and anything, col-lared this good-natured doctor at a cocktail party. She pulled him into a comer and began to describe in detail the shooting pains in her hip and leg. The doctor looked her square in the eye and in his most professional way said, "Undress." That did it. The woman has never gone near him since. -Wandering Texan Dear Texan: I'm glad it worked for him, but I wouldn't recommend this technique for everyone. Some women would be only too happy to take him at his word.

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?
