I'd really like to see what Erika has to say about this friendship from her point of view. I don't believe that someone writing in to an advice columnist is capable of giving a complete, unbiased picture of what's going on.

@rocknrollunicorn: I'm sure Hoyt's mama will love her, but I can't shake that comment about how she can't wait to get fat after she had a couple of kids. Folks don't usually *plan* that.

@ramalamadingdong: I was thinking more south. She is pretty kinky.
