Dragging drunk husband
Dear Ann Landers: 1 hope

help her feel .better. She is the
woman who, said her husband
made her agree before marriage
thatthtKy would have no ,sea, She •.
'went along with it, thinking she
could change lttt:0rcourse it
was impossible: My story is the
.opposite. My husband . wanted . •
nothing INT Sex. I, too, thought J,
could change him --.but I was also
• mistaken.
When he wasn't chasing• me he
was drinking. He couldn't drink
like a normal person. He had tom
see the bottom of every bottle. I
can't count the number of timeehe
came home so stinking -drunk he
couldn't make it to the porch, He'd
'lie on the lawn until I'd` notice him
and.thenl'dhave4to calla neighbor
to help me drag Yhim in the house.
(He weighed 220.)"
Why did I marry him? Because
he was good looking and acted.
• cute. I was crazy over that man
and to tell you the truth, I still am. .
We celebrated our 45th wedding
anniversary in November and
• even though he has put me through
plenty of hell we've had agood life -
together. I've had to: keep myself
in shape;to take care of him, and
I'm thankful the good Lord has
given me the strength. Good luck,
Ann. I enjoy, your ° column.—

Dear, Minnie: Nothing. keeps a

Dear Ann Landers: You'll
probably receive hundreds of
letters from1people who want to
say something to that nutty lady
who got an ulcer attack 'whenever
she saw a woman wearing her
corsage upside down. The fact
that she clipped •306 newspaper
photographs of women wearing
their corsages ``wrong" is proof
enough that, she belongs in the bin.
• .As a floral' designer who
specializes in corsages I -can tell •
you there is no right or wrong Way
to wear one. A corsage with a
large bow of ribbon would look
ridiculous with the stem side
down. An obse, ver would see the
ribbon instead of the flower.
Each woman should decide for
