Dear Ann Landers,
Almost everything hurts. What doesn't hurt, doesn't work anymore. It feels like the morning after the night before, and you haven't been anywhere. All the names in your little black book end in M.D. You get winded playing chess. You look forward to a dull evening. You still chase women but have forgotten why. You turn out the lights for economic not romantic reasons. Your knees buckle and your belt won't. You are 17 around the neck, 42 around the waist and 126 around the golf course. You sink your teeth into a steak and they stay there. You try to straighten the wrinkles in your socks and find you aren't wearing any. A little old gray-haired lady tries to help you across the street. She's your wife. -L.F. in San Antonio

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?
