As a self-employed, hardworking man of 25 who has owned his own business for the last three years, owns a house, a nice car, is negotiating on an apartment building and has a comfortable little nest egg in the five-figure area, I would not share my acquired assets with the woman I marry for at least five years either. Nowadays, with divorce so easily obtainable, I'd be a fool to let a woman walk into my life and claim half of what I've amassed alone through hard work.

In this day of women's lib, my approach is simple. If a man finds a woman he thinks is for him, before discussing religion, future children or anything else, they should agree that what's mine is mine, what's yours is yours, and what we build together during pur years of marriage is ours to be split 50-50 in case of divorce. That's fair, simple and easy. And the woman who is unwilling te accept tt-fli clearly after a man's money not his love. D.S.

2 Please finish your shopping before you get in line If you leave your shopping cart unattended, I may have to let other customers check out ahead of you: 3. Please get your check approved before you get in line You might be surprised to hear the angry comments from shoppers behind you in line if I have to wait for you to run to the service desk and back. 4 If you decide you don't want one of the items in your shopping eart. please keep it with you until you reach the cash register, I will see that -it is returned to its proper location. If you hide these "orphans" ip the aisles, it takes us more time to put them back in their places.
