Dear Ann Landers,
At every family gathering he shoots dozens of pictures. Then he slaves for hours making prints. The relatives can well afford to pay fifty cents apiece for these wonderful 5x7 and 8x10 pictures. But my hardheaded husband says, "No, I wouldn't think of charg-ing them. I do this for fun." Fun, my eye. He does it with money that could be better spent buying nicer clothing for his family or fixing up our house. Why should he be so balky about asking relatives to pay for prints? I think he is a sucker. What do you think?-Hypo Harriet, The Lenshound's Wife Dear Wife: The lens-hound sounds like a sweet guy who enjoys his hobby. If he sold his pictures it would no longer be a hobby-it would be a business. So why don't you keep your nose out of his hydroquinone?

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?
