You can win a quick ten points by picking who should pay for the announcements.  E.T.F., or the future husband?

If it makes him happy, let him pay.

A timely mention of Asbestos, @Rikki Gins

New name for a Canadian town called Asbestos

Very interesting, @Bart Ell.  I'm glad I kept it on the clipping.

Thank you @Bart Ell, @juan, @anniem, @Mr Apnea, @whoozit, @ShayP, @FISH and @Ciardelo, for playing the What Will Mrs. Thompson Say? game.

E.T.F. and her parents are responsible for paying for the announcements.

ShayP: 10 points
juan: 10 points
Ciardelo: 10 points

But wait!  Mrs. Thompson added a codicil (and that's a wonderful word) to her answer.  If money is a problem, the future husband can pay for the announcements.

whoozit: 10 points
Bart Ell: 10 points
anniem: 10 points
Mr Apnea: 10 points
FISH: 10 points

  It is (unhealthy) to go along feeling
as you do.  If you have not already
consulted a (doctor), do so at once.
Some (psychological) disturbance may be the
(cause) of your trouble.
  Very often (volunteer) work is prescribed
for a case like yours.  If you had a
(job) you would keep more regular
hours and would be too busy to (think)
about your condition.  Your (disposition)
would have a change and you would
probably enjoy yourself.
  Of course, you realize that you will
be more and more (depressed) if you
permit yourself to think you are not
going to live.  Surely you will live if
you try.  You will be happy and in-
terested in life if you direct your
thoughts and (emotions) along more
normal and wholesome (habits).
