Seductive pix for other men

Dear Annie: I’m a 50-something woman who’s been married for 35 years. About a year ago, I started sending my husband seductive pictures of myself during the day. One of his co-workers accidentally saw one of the pictures and commented to my husband about it. My husband told me, and at first I was embarrassed by it. But after thinking about it, I began to really like the thought of strange men seeing me. I started sending my husband more and more risqué pictures. I couldn’t wait for my husband to come home from work so I could hear what the guys had said about me.

I know this isn’t right, but I can’t seem to stop. I think I’m addicted to this. Do I need to seek help to stop this?

Exposed

Dear Exposed: Exposing oneself to nonconsenting witnesses is never OK. And even if his co-workers seem to enjoy it, they’re his co-workers. It’s inappropriate. Your husband could lose his job. And if you feel this habit has become addictive, it’s certainly worth seeing a counselor.

Dear Annie: I have a gripe with smokers who drop their butts on the ground. Today, while traveling on errands near my home, I witnessed it yet again. I watched as one woman got out of her car in the parking lot of a store, took a long drag on her cig and then dropped it on the pavement and walked into the store, passing a handy butt receptacle standing right at the entrance. Some jerks even empty entire ashtrays into the street!

Cigarette butts are litter of the worst kind. They are slow to decompose, full of nicotine and other toxic elements, and contaminated by saliva. I challenge all smokers to stop littering the ground with what is essentially their drug paraphernalia. Your right to pollute your body and your home does not give you the right to pollute public areas!

I Like It Clean and Green

Dear Clean and Green: As if smoking weren’t already a nasty enough habit. A cigarette butt can take anywhere from 18 months to 10 years to decompose. I second your plea to smokers: If you can’t quit smoking for your own health, at least be cognizant of the Earth’s health and properly dispose of your butts.
