Wow. Just wow.

It didn't last because she wasn't willing to abide by my mother's conditions, which weren't unreasonable. My mother was trying to help her finish high school even back then. The conflict and the attitude became too much and my mother, pretty broken hearted because she really wanted to help, asked her to find somewhere…

I intentionally didn't set conditions on her because she had a similar set up with my mother three years ago, with conditions. It didn't last. Their relationship is fine now, but it was a mess for a while. I was hoping, in my heart of hearts, that three years later and having been through a number of tough things in…

Hi, need advice. My 21-year-old cousin, I'm 40, was in dire straits, no money, couldn't pay rent or buy food. I offered to let her stay with me for a few months in the hopes of giving her a breather to get herself together. It's been a month or so and she sleeps all day, surfs my computer all night, then leaves for…

Are they?? I had no idea. I'm just really tall. Full-body anything has never been easy to find for me. Nothing lands at the right level. :) I'll keep a look out, though. Thanks, Cheeze! And I hope your daughter enjoys her freedom of movement in her adorable and super comfy overalls.

I'm sorry, I never lived in a dorm. I don't have any specific advice. I just wanted to tell you how awesome I think what you are doing is. I'm 40, by the way. I've considered going back school every now and again, but it feels...daunting. Do you plan on, I don't know, blogging about your experiences as a mature…

Your instinct about him sounds pretty strong. I'd listen to it and not worry to much about the why.

Maybe she will. But is there anyone here who can honestly say that they don't look back at some of what our parents put us in and cringe? Also, I'd say at this point you have every right to dress your kid as you like. As she gets older she'll start to express her own preferences. She may be girly, she may not. Early…

I guess they localize Google Doodles? The Canadian one is a make your own chocolates game.

(Ha, cute gif.) Yes, native Montrealer. And I'm a long-time SNL viewer, so it should be interesting to see what they do with the format. Thanks!

Thanks so much. This should be interesting. Worlds collide. May I ask, though, if you don't speak French, what is your interest in this show in particular? I mean, enough to bring it up here, that is.

Well, I'm a Montrealer, but I've visited both Vancouver and Toronto briefly. Just very generally, I'd say Toronto has a stronger business vibe, a little more no-nonsense, but a great cultural and food scene. Vancouver has a bit of all that, but also has a lot of relatively easy access to amazing nature spots (beach,…

I had no idea! Yeah, I would love to watch, especially given the current political situation, which I think is so very ripe for skewering. No TV, though. Do you happen to know if it will be available online for viewing at some point?

I hope this rabbit won...whatever this event is. It's obviously a genius rabbit.

At the beginning of last year, after years of being single and just after she turned 40, my friend made a conscious decision to change a few things in her life. She just let me know this weekend that she and her boyfriend are looking for a house together. What a difference a year makes. What a difference a few months…

Or 5) Order something in?

I get that "getting more intolerant" thing. I think once you hit that state of mind, it's really hard to U-turn it back. It might be worth looking into a change of jobs, if that's at all an option. That's what I did. Saved my faith in humanity.

Why do they think that these kinds of statements support the pro-life cause? Every time I read something like this, it always seems to me to be a pro-choice statement. As in, "Isn't it great that you had the right to choose to have your baby, despite what doctors might have been recommending?" (See also, Andrea…

I don't know if you caught Before Midnight this summer, but it's a worthy follow-up to Sunrise and Sunset.
