Annie's Mailbox
  • Slipping Away From My Wife for 10/05/2023
    Dear Annie: My wife wakes up every weekday at 5 a.m. and goes to work at 6 a.m. I don't know what time she gets out of work, but she goes to her house (she owns a separate house) and, according to her, takes a nap. She usually comes home around 8 p.m. That is 14 hours a day that she is not here! The other day when she called, I heard another voice in the background. I should mention she has several suitors that live by her house. She spends most of the weekends at her house, saying she is doing yardwork.Updated: Thu Oct 05, 2023
