Classic Ann Landers (R), February 7
Editor's Note: Hundreds of Ann Landers' loyal readers have requested that newspapers continue to publish her columns. These letters originally appeared in 1999. Dear Ann Landers: I have been with "him" for five years. We met through my brother. I ended up jumping from a shaky relationship into one with "him" — which everyone knows is not the way to go. For a while, it was OK, but then we started to argue a lot, and it's still that way. "Him" has a hot temper and flies off the handle easily. He doesn't help with anything in the house. I do the laundry, cleaning, cooking and grocery shopping. I pay all the bills, and he pays the mortgage. I love "him," but don't know if I should stick around. He puts everyone and everything ahead of me and has no consideration for my feelings. He often criticizes me in front of friends and family, which is humiliating. I work and am financially independent. Should I leave him? — Torn in Winnipeg, Canada Dear Winnipeg: You do the marketing, cooking, cleaning, laundry and pay all the bills. He criticizes you, humiliates you in front of family and friends, has no consideration for your feelings, and pays the mortgage. Hello-ooo there! Anybody home? For heaven's sake, woman, pay the mortgage yourself and dump "him." Dear Ann Landers: Here's another one for your "stupid judge" collection. I guess it pays to get drunk in New Orleans. Dear J.H.: No comment from me, but here's the Associated Press story. Thank you for passing it on. A drunken bicyclist was seriously injured when he ran a stop sign and pedaled into the path of a police cruiser speeding to respond to a call. The intoxicated bicyclist was awarded $95,485. The judge ruled that the police officer was partially to blame for the collision with the 58-year-old bicyclist, who suffered two broken legs and a fractured skull. The bicyclist's lawyer said the ruling proves that "drunks have rights, too." The man had a blood-alcohol level of 0.13, which exceeds the legal limit of 0.10. The lawyer argued that the police officer could have avoided the accident had he not been driving so fast. The officer said his siren was blaring and his lights were flashing when he hit the intoxicated bicyclist. The officer plans to appeal. Gem of the Day (Credit Chicago columnist Zay N. Smith): Guns don't kill people. They just make it a lot easier. What's the truth about pot, cocaine, LSD, PCP, crack, speed and downers? "The Lowdown on Dope" has information on drugs.
