It sounds to me as though you are equating age with sickness and death, which is legitimate, but I don't think it's what the author is talking about.

But you didn't say, "Hey, consider adoption!"

As opposed to spontaneous? maybe?

Just don't come here and eat all of our free bread!

I had the same questions as you, and spent at least 5 minutes ruminating, "Did she mean lactose? or maybe the doctor told her no cholesterol?". No answer was forthcoming.

Listen. I love a man with a strong brow ridge. Like, love it. Jason Momoa, David Boreanaz, etc..

Thank you. Neanderthals have been taking a lot of unjustified heat.

Google Reader was great. Why do the ones I love always leave?

Beluga was a great app! I loved it and then FB bought it and I never used it again.

I had this idea because it's what my sister did to me. We have been roommates for a couple of years and she told me last year that she felt scared when she was sick because I wasn't being a good enough caretaker and she was too weak to argue with me. This really broke my heart, imagining my sister being sick and…

This is TRUTH right here.

Gradually teach him how to cope. You know, ask him to stay home to take care of you when you have a bad cold. Have him make you tea and soup and arrange your medication near the bed with lots of water nearby. Tell him, "I feel so feverish, I can't remember when to take my medication. Can you please take charge of that…

I'm sorry! This situation seems terrible for all of you.

Your guy sounds like a jewel!

And I'm not talking about money - I'm saying they should make your day brighter, make you laugh, ask if they can bring home Indian food cause you're feeling sick. If you're doing all the heavy lifting,…

He should know, because you tell him, that you are seriously considering whether he is a worthy partner. You have to be able to count on him, the kids have to be able to count on him. It doesn't get more basic than that. And if he's not up to the job, not just self-flagellating lip service, then he is beneath the…

It's definitely a fire-able offense (I used to be a teller in my youth) and I'm not sure about illegality, but it seems like it should be illegal, doesn't it? And yet, according to Pops Dunemi, it happens all the time.

Yeah, my Dad lives in a small town, like 363 people, and he won't keep his money in a local bank because he says the tellers are all gossips and everybody in town will know your bank balance. Same at the Post Office.

Understood! And thanks for the heads up on the dismissal.
