just get on with it!

Accept a path for a couple of years even if it is based on nothing more than a complete knee jerk conclusion about anything. Seek out Jerome, or maybe Devils tower, or Key West, or anything! Just find a direction for no apparent reason and follow it. You will find something unexpected. Stop hiding behind a wimpy ass idea of being smart. It ain't about pretending to be smart, it's about living a life worth talking about. And right now sir, you are not living.

assuming the LW is female...

... go ahead and tell him how you feel, sleep with him a few times and then, and only then, things will work out naturally.

You will either become totally connected and unable to seperate from him or the romantic notion of what you have will fade and reality will sit in without you even needing to try.

Have fun!

if you're going to tell her do it big...

... put a catwoman mask on, hide a video camera and do him on video. Then simply give her the video. You have to give her real evidence, otherwise she very well may not believe you and do herself more harm over the long run.

If you can't give her absolute confidence in the message, then walk away and get on with your life.

Original article: The cost of leaving

you have it easy so far...

... just wait until your ex grows some balls, tells you to go screw yourself and hires a lawyer. It will happen unless he is an idiot, and when it does you will know for a fact that you should have stayed to gether for the kids. You will not get a to publish stuff like this anymore because it will be used against you ways you can't even imagine.

If your lucky, your ex is a total pussy. Otherwise, go get yourself a lawyer and resolve this as soon as possible.

fair or not...

... this is your problem because you are nearest to it. It's like the weather, if a storm tears off the roof of her house you will be the first to respond because you are there and you have no choice. That is why it is you have to arrange her care now. It ain't fair but it is what it is (if it were even remotely fair it would be your husband writing in and not you).

Original article: Obama surfs through

wtf?

For the record, I didn't read the other letters. But my two former philly cents... are you stoned or drunk or just not even trying?

On another note, we all had crushes on the popular cheerleader in high school, nothing wrong with that. But it wasn't long after that we let it go.

LW shouldn't smoke alone...

... getting way to paranoid.

perhaps the biggest story in 25 years largely ignored in the US...

Lewis Hamilton's most amazing formula one world title and the amazing race in Brazil t hatdecided it. This year was somehow even better than last year's unreal finish to the F1 season.

As for for the other top stories, perhaps Mosley could be tied down for one of them and another could be the MLB more or less without big time high powered performance enhancing drugs.

Original article: For richer or poorer?

poor girl...
