Hey everybody. Couple of quick nuggets for you. Yes, nuggets. That’s how I’m doling it out today. If you prefer “morsels,” well, tough. We’re not doing it that way. You don’t like it, you can lump it, and take it down the road and dump it. Sorry, this election has me all confrontational. (Seriously, we [...]

Take your dramamine, grab something solid and hold on tight, people. Lyn has a flipflopper on her hands. He’s up-up-up…then down-down-down. She’s going loopy. She needs some encouragement. Let’s figure out what’s going on and give ‘er some, shall we? I have dated this man for over 5 years. The relationship has about a 6 [...]

I’ve been told that this is a biggie. The kid comes, everybody gets exhausted, and the sex goes out the window. (I wouldn’t say that this is the reason that Liz and I have decided not to have kids, but it’s sure not a selling point on changing our minds either.) But seriously, folks. Elise [...]

So, what happens when you drop the big “L” bomb…and you don’t get it flung back to you? Ouch, is what. But is that all there is to say? Is it automatic bad news? Not so sure about that. Let’s take a look at all the facts before we curl up into an awkward little [...]

A lot of us have had that one in our lives — usually it’s someone we met when we were young, and we always wondered…what if? A reader named Liz has a guy who keeps on coming back every once in a while, and she’s wondering if they are The One for each other. Let’s [...]

So, Confused gets an invitation to this guy’s wedding — a guy she barely knew, but who is bestie-best pals with her ex. She shows up at the wedding, and lo and behold, there’s the ex. With a new girlfriend. Fiance, actually. What happened here? Her friends have a couple of opposing theories. I’ll weigh [...]
