A family of attention hogs, except for her mother, who seems relatively reasonable.

She’s the worst! If Meghan weren’t about to become part of the royal family, she might be bitching about them on Saturday Night Social.

I feel sorry for Meghan. Her family is certainly quite dramatic and often embarrassing.

You can simply say, “Yes, I have,” and change the subject with deliberation. Unless your family are completely immune to nuance, that might do it. If not, then feel free to point out those new grey hairs and wrinkles on your relatives.

Put pillows or rolled up blankets on either side of you so you can’t turn. It really works.

Wrap them with an ace bandage, like a corset. It’ll take six weeks to heal, but the first two weeks are the hardest. How do I know this? I got mugged in 1992. Kept my purse; got a number of ribs smashed.

Our summer plans were realized this week. Booked a retirement trip for hubs (his retirement) to Key West. We stayed in a pricey but really wonderful resort with three pools that are open until 11 p.m. The hotel had its own lovely beach. I booked us a sunset cruise (magnificent) and a fishing trip (also wonderful). We…

I was using Jojoba oil, lavender oil, and argan oil on my face. It didn’t work out. Lots of clogged pores. So, I turned this trio into an awesome after-shower oil. Makes my body skin very soft.

You can buy travel sizes in most high-end mascaras. I love Benefit They’re Real but don’t use enough in three months to justify a whole tube. I buy the minis. Works great.

Maybe talk to her anyway, knowing all that you know about her and all that you feel about her. Guilt is a shitty thing to live with.

Worst thing is spending your first year not celebrating Mother’s Day because your mom passed six months ago. While my mom could be very (very) high maintenance, I miss her, and I liked her as a person (not just loved her as a mom).

I did, and I did. Went to 9-months’ of secretarial school after graduation and worked 40-plus years as a professional secretary/admin. I could pick whatever field I wanted and eventually rose through the ranks to working with a popular designer, famous writers, musicians, etc., which was an honor. And eventually it…

Had not thought of that. Excellent idea!

That’s on her. She married the publisher of The Federalist, a right-wing rag. No one knows who funds it. It’s not surprising that having married an uber-conservative Trumpalo, she’s no longer embracing her father’s values.

Befriend a bartender and ask.

It’s not even a little shitty.

Picking up a frightened and timid dog to protect her from strangers is sometimes more traumatic than the original advance from the stranger. I know from experience. And I really dislike that people think they can just pet your dog. Maybe better if your dog had snapped at the stranger. That actually makes them feel…

It may be annoying now, but a decade from now, you’ll be pretty happy about looking younger than your age.

That myth figured prominently in Hedwig and The Angry Inch.

John McCain is not Meghan McCain.
