ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for more than 20 years. He is a very good-looking man. His co-workers are mostly women. Yes, I am jealous, and I have good reason to be. When we married, he was loving, caring and gave me lots of attention. My whole life changed due to health problems. Now, I barely get a kiss as he leaves for work. Even though my health has improved, he stopped sleeping in our bedroom several years ago and hasn’t returned. He thinks coming home, eating what I cook and retiring to the recliner is sufficient attention. Also, he told me the company arranged for him and a female employee to have a meeting once a week in his office. This bothered me because she called his cell phone in the evening. This went on for several months until I confronted him. He accused me of being jealous. What should I do? Stay here and be a dishrag? Or move on with my life? He refuses to go for counseling or see a pastor. -- Going Mad Dear Going Mad: Even if your husband refuses counseling, you should go anyway. You are obviously unhappy, and it sounds as if your marriage has been in trouble for a while. Please talk to someone who can help you find better ways to deal with your situation. Dear Annie: I am 18 years old, get good grades in college, stay out of trouble and am a good daughter. I recently got a small tattoo. I live at home and have not yet told my father about it. He has double standards when it comes to my brother and me. My brother is three years older and has a large tattoo. But I know Dad will be angry about mine, even though he was perfectly fine with my brother getting one, and he has one himself. How do I tell him? I know it is bad to hide it, but I figure the
longer he doesn’t see it the easier it will be to tell him in the future. He won’t see it if I don’t show it to him. Maybe he’ll read this letter and not be so upset. -- Tatted Dear Tatted: Did you pay for the tattoo yourself? If so, Dad does not have to know about it. You are, after all, a legal adult. However, it is usually best to bite the bullet and get it over with. Dad may respond more positively than you think, and if not, his anger won’t last forever. Dear Annie: The letter from “Between a Rock and a Hard Place,” who judged her daughter-in-law’s housekeeping skills, struck a nerve. I disagree with your advice that she ask her son about helping to pay for a housekeeper. I own a business that puts me in hundreds of family homes. The immaculate house is far more rare than one would think. That mother-in-law’s complaints about the housekeeping could be said about many homes. Perhaps the mother-in-law needs to be told not to judge her daughter-in-law. Her son and grandson are not victims. They can clean, too. Perhaps the daughter-in-law likes a more livedin look. Perhaps she has better things to do with her time than clean. Perhaps the mother-in-law should stay home. Her son is an adult and has his own life, whether his mother likes it or not. -- Annoyed in Virginia Dear Virginia: We agree that a home does not have to be a showplace, but this daughter-in-law is a hoarder with several cats and a new baby on the way. It wouldn’t take much to push that situation over the edge, and we thought she could use a helping hand -- but not directly from her mother-inlaw. Annie’s Snippet for St. Patrick’s Day (author unknown): For each petal on the shamrock, this brings a wish your way, good health, good luck, and happiness for today and every day.

Prickly City

Qaddafi forces attack rebel stronghold in West TRIPOLI, Libya (NY Times) — A day after routing a ragtag army in an eastern town near the rebel capital of Benghazi, forces loyal to Col. Muammar elQaddafi launched attacks Wednesday on the city of Misurata, the last rebel stronghold in western Libya. Phone lines, electricity and water were cut off as government forces used tanks and heavy artillery to bombard the city of several hundred thousand 125 miles east of the capital, Tripoli. A rebel spokesman said at least 11 people in Misurata had been killed during the attack, including three civilians, but by mid-afternoon the rebels had repelled the assault. After retreating, he said, the government opened up with artillery. “They couldn’t enter the town so they started shelling from the outside,” said the spokesman, who said he was relying on a private generator and a satellite telephone to communicate. The Qaddafi forces applied similar tactics during more than six days of fighting — conducting raid by day and retreating at night — before they retook the rebel-held town of Zawiyah. A further assault appeared all but inevitable as Colonel Qaddafi moved to stamp out the rebel forces across Libya. Seif al-Islam, the eldest of the Libyan leader’s sons, promised in a television interview on Wednesday that fighting would be finished “in 48 hours.” On Tuesday in the eastern town of Ajdabiya, rebel defenses rapidly folded before a withering assault by tanks, warplanes and artillery that delivered blasts of incoming fire every few seconds. As the shelling intensified, hundreds of cars packed with children, mattresses, suitcases — anything that could be grabbed and packed in — careered through the streets as residents fled. Long lines of cars could be seen on the highway heading north to Benghazi, about 100 miles away. In Benghazi itself, though, there were no signs of preparations for a vigorous defense, and there were reports on Tuesday night that rebels might have retaken parts of Ajdabiya. Witnesses said that by evening rebel fighters seemed to be patrolling the streets, and there was speculation that loyalist soldiers might have withdrawn to the perimeter after overrunning the city, a pattern they have followed in previous battles. Amid the conflicting reports on Tuesday night, gunfire — apparently celebratory — could be heard throughout Benghazi, where tracer bullets lit up the sky. Nevertheless, the barrage in Ajdabiya offered a loud and ferocious counterpoint to stalled efforts by Western diplomats to agree on help for the retreating rebels, like a no-flight zone, even as Colonel Qaddafi warned the insurgents on Tuesday that they had only two choices: surrender or flee. On Wednesday, the French foreign minister, Alain Juppé, ’wrote on his blog that several Arab nations had offered to take part in possible military action in support of the rebels, though he did not specify which countries those were. France and Britain have called for targeted airstrikes on Colonel Qaddafi’s forces, but have thus far not found broad support. With the advances made by loyalists, there is growing consensus in the Obama administration that imposing a no-flight zone over Libya would no longer make much of a difference, a senior official said. Just moving the ships and planes into place to impose an effective no-flight zone, the official said, would take until April, too late to help rebels hunkered down in Benghazi. President Obama met with his National Security Council on Tuesday to consider a variety of other options to respond to the deteriorating situation. Among those options are jamming Libyan government radio signals and financing the rebel forces with $32 billion in Libyan government and Qaddafi family funds frozen by the United States. That money could be used for weapons or relief. Officials said that meeting broke without a decision.
