| Show The Herald Journal Logan Utah Wednesday July 10 1996 — Page 13 Women fooled by money scam By Aim Landers Creators Syndicate Inc my friend and I fell for We are two middle-age- d women who were walk ing downtown in Washington DC after visiting a museum A distraught nicely dressed young woman approached us Hl hope you will help me" she said She was wearing some sort of identification tag on a chain around her neck She told us she’d been in the department store and someone had stolen her wallet including all her credit cards money and “even my subway card” She had a large purse with compartments and I immediately visualized someone reaching in and removing her wallet She continued “I’m a nurse I desperately need a few dollars to get home” According to her ID card she lived in an upscale suburban area My friend asked her to write down her name address and phone number before we gave her $10 She told us “God bless you” and headed for the subway We tried to telephone the woman that evening to see if she got home OK There was no such name or number The sympathetic operator reported that no one was listed with that name in the unlisted numbers or at the street address she gave us This woman was a very good actress I always thought helping people in need was the charitable thing to do I won’t be fooled like that again Next time I’ll say “Let’s see the police report on the theft” — Poorer and Less Thisting in DC DEAR POORER IN DC: That con game is being played in every large city in the United States I’ve had at least 10 letters like yours in the last week I’m printing yours and I hope it helps put an end to that racket DEAR ANN: Do you believe as Albert Camus said that “life b a sum of all your choices”? A Yalie and This Is No Joke Dear Yalie: Not always Sometimes life can sneak up on your blind side and hand you a double whammy that has nothing to do with your choices DEAR ANN LANDERS: I read with casual amusement the exchanges in your column between the sexually overworked and underworked wives Since there were not many male responses I would like to add mine My wife and I have been married for 30 years She is attractive and desirable and was very sexy — until we married When she let me know she was no longer interested in “that stuff I found it necessary to have my needs attended to So I took advantage of my long leash and sought the company of other women What I found was incredible While I could create delirious pleasure in my illicit female companions I could evoke no more than a yawn from my wife Often we terminated operations prematurely because they were going nowhere Docs marriage really put the dead hand on sexual excitement? This old joke rings true for many men: ‘How do you cure a nymphomaniac?’ The answer b “Marry her” Meanwhile I will continue to expe-ricnce the incredible passion of other women and enjoy my gift of sexuality which has not waned although I will soon be 60 Now that I have told you the whole story do 1 have your permission? — Young at Heart DEAR YOUNG AT HEART It b not up to me to grant or deny permission to married men who want to fool around A great many couples find total fulfillment within their marriages When your wife began to yawn THAT was the time to fix it Adios Romeo DEAR ANN LANDERS: You are so good at alerting the public that I’d like to pass on a con that By Peter H Gott MD In your case the urge to count does not appear to Newspaper Enterprise Association have affected your life health or ability to function normally Therefore I’d disregard it You are not alone many people are compulsive counters Medical intervention is necessary only when the counting interferes with a fulfilling satisfying life DEAR DR GOTT What causes a yeast infection in the mouth or vagina?
