The following tax season this couple asked me if I would check their tax returns I said I would but insisted that there would be no charge They were very appreciative I performed the same service the next year Several weeks passed and I received two very expensive-lookin- g hard-covbooks with a warm and generous inscription thanking me for my services When I flipped through the books I became angry The message of those books was that I am "in the wrong flock" but with the help of these volumes I might be saved The more I thought about the audacity of these people the angrier I became I am now faced with a dilemma In a short while it will be tax time again and I don't know how to tell them that I no longer wish to check over their returns The books they sent offended me deeply and I do not want to continue the friendship Please Ann advise me — Hamilton Ontar- Dear Debby: Welcome to the club I believe most women who stay married to homosexuals are convinced that they can straighten them out Big mistake Thanks for sharing your story and good luck to you dear Dear Ann Landers: The woman whose retired husband had nothing to do except interfere with her cooking needs to hear my story Before Jack and I married his warned me: "Don't marry Jack He'll try to run your kitchen and drive you nuts" Well I married Jack and for many years while he was busy teaching chemistry and doing research he came into my kitchen only when I asked for his help He made the world's best gravy Other than that I did all the cooking and marketing Now Jack is retired and claims that cooking is the ideal outlet for a former chemist He has taken over my kitchen completely and even insists on doing the marketing The man is so creative that we have wonderful meals every day What joy! I am now relieved of all cooking duties and love it Please tell the women who read your column to find a chemist who likes to cook and marry him — Happy in Tucson Dear Tucson: Lucky girl! I had a letter just last week from a woman in Pennsylvania who married a chemist She didn't mention anything about his gravy but she did say he made garbage out of her $400000 inheritance Dear Ann Landers: A few years ago I met a pleasant couple at a friend's house When I learned they had a family business I mentioned that I am an accountant with some tax experience the Grand A4t---- 1 I :M f - Nk i' I t 1 1 Noon Sio Sm Iltt 17 ‘ orondchtidren :? r ' 1 s ''' ' r a ' letb I 01 4e1 PR ' w '' — 0 04 WA II 4 '' ir 44 NA ' : i 1 1 '1 ''P ‘II ': '' :"1 t' - 0airliti4Ititt - li‘r(14' 1' 1497 ' '''1' - 4 I i i ' ! lii:I' ' 1 ' INt ' ''' k 1 l'i ft AKAMIAMr" rAAVAAAPAONAINIIIMAINDAAASEW L4 ------ — I L ' ' !
