I vividly remember SO many details, and it's been 30 years since I read those books.

Consenting adults.

Isn't that interesting? Someone high up is a Beyonce stan.

Yeah. For some people, that kind of stuff IS "family friendly".

Katie: Dating is supposed to be fun. You don't have to be committed to anyone. You just meet new people and get to know them a little better. You can do it in groups, even, if it makes you feel better.

Well, if you're doing it right, you're not 100% focused on your SELF anymore. You've got a helpless fragile person to take care of, and suddenly your neurosis and self-obsession takes a back seat.

Alimony has its place. I can think of many situations where it's just and fair. What about the spouse who supports the other through medical school? Or the spouse who quits their job to relocate for the other spouse's $$ promotion? The spouse who becomes a SAHM parent?

Jesus god, you've been handed a plateful! I wish you much luck and strength. Please keep us posted.

Oh yes. Pringles and gummy bears. Or Wheat Thins with cream cheese and pepper jelly. Grilled cheese and half a grapefruit.

And to sort of add to/counter what LaComtesse added... My kids never really liked cow's milk on its own. Our pediatrician was fine with that because they eat lots of yogurt and cheese - condensed forms of milk.

Yes. At that point, it's supplemental to actual food, and more about closeness and comfort than anything else.

Love the dress. Hate the Emily Dickinson 'do, though.

"Doucheface McRedflag" is the best name ever. You made my day. Still laughing.
