Dear Annie: I am a year-old female who recently moved to a new town. I have met a few guys, but it never seems to go anywhere. They expect me to hop into bed with no commitment whatsoever.
I value relationships, and commitment, and have no intention of behaving like this. I am far from perfect, but sometimes it seems as though I will never meet anyone worthwhile. Is something wrong with me? Or am I just attracting the wrong type of guys? Dear Confused: If you are in a small town, your pool of available candidates is less than it might be elsewhere. This means you need to widen your circle.
Try online dating be cautious , and ask your friends, family members and co-workers to introduce you to available, decent men. Join a church social group, choir, theater group or a volunteer organization where you will be doing some good and meeting new people, both male and female. But most importantly, be patient. You may be looking to settle down, but your average year-old man is not. You may be coming across as desperate or overly eager. A little nonchalance might serve you better.
Dear Annie: My husband and I are over 70 and living on our retirement income. We are doing very well. My complaint is that every day, we receive a half-dozen requests for donations to a variety of charities.
We have one charity that we support on a regular basis. But all of these other charity requests keep rolling in, and some with small amounts of money attached. I feel guilty for not sending these back with a donation, but I no longer respond to this tactic. How can we get these charity requests to end? Please email your questions to anniesmailbox creators.

As the nation observes National Veterans and Military Families Month, TDS Telecommunications is working to demonstrate that supporting veterans extends far beyond mere expressions of gratitude.
