Neat packages
[Read the article: "The Sopranos" goes dark]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I agree CW:
"What did the disappointed fans want? Some trite shoot-out?"
That ruined The Departed!
Enough said.

women vs. women
[Read the article: Hillary Studies]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"I do not naively believe that everyone who adopts the label liberal or Democrat wants to see a woman as President of the United States."-AKA Smith
Agreed.
You are onto something here because it seems that a vast majority of her detractors are women! Even if they seek the same outcome, it makes no sense why so many enjoy knocking each other down. (Imagine that, women attacking each other.) It's enough to make you lose sleep, the sheer folly.
Just a random thought in the scheme of things.

dead end
[Read the article: Why won't my boyfriend introduce me to his daughters?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Since you haven't given much info, to presume is all we've got, Dear LW.
I presume you want to be in a loving relationship and that includes the big picture. To survive on tiny compartments of your lover is a paltry trade. I presume you've introduced him to your side, friends and fam? I presume you know there is no shortage of men in the world, and that age doesn't matter when it comes to love?
Now onto this friend from my hometown. Her story, a novel of destruction. She was involved for three years with someone who lived just blocks away from his sister and her children. He saw his parents weekly at least, but she never got to meet them or anyone else he knew. He told her it was because he was a Muslim. He gave her money and endless B.S.. She became insulated from her friends and lost touch with those who cared. It was agonizing to see someone I cared so much for lost in this way. I felt powerless to help, because her denial was damaging in many ways to her and to everyone she had been friends with. She became obsessed with getting her man. I gave up and wrote saying I was going to let go of my attempts to rescue and that all the talking was exhausting.
That's a whole story in itself. But anyway...
I tell you this because it seems you are putting energy into attempts to change him. You may be projecting what or who you think he is. In some ways this story is repeated time and again when the woman believes she has no other choice. Something he provides for you that you think you need perhaps? It's cruel what he is doing because you are bummed enough to write this letter saying it isn't enough.
I presume that since you asked you want to hear that you are making a big mistake and wasting your most precious commodity, your time. This is awful to think of, really, I'd rather be with anyone but someone who doesn't love me and can't be open. Get some tissues, cut it off, cry it out, hang with people who dig you.
You will be OK.

anon is correct
[Read the article: Why won't my boyfriend introduce me to his daughters?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Not pretty but simple and true anon....
He's keeping your head spinning, making you wonder if you're the jerk just to be asking, because it's a classic way to keep control of the "relationship."
I bet he'd flip on you too, accusing you of trying to control things. How similar to many stories I have heard. It makes me wince too.

Are you serious?
[Read the article: Her sexy T-shirt says "Kitty Not Happy" -- is that OK at work?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Dude, LW, "fatherly figure", uptight person,
Get a life! As much as I detest that phrase, it fits here rather nicely. Don't you have other things to focus on? You went to her superior about a t-shirt?
A t-shirt.... really?
What's the fundamental issue here? ARE you a fundamentalist? A Puritan? A Hello Kitty brand shirt is benign in the scheme of things, don't you think? You've gotta know that, no matter what kind of vacuum you exist in.
Relax with your righteous "sheriff of the inappropriate" self and know at worst this was just bad fashion sense.
I still can't believe it, are you kidding? Really.

THANK YOU Anon!
[Read the article: Her sexy T-shirt says "Kitty Not Happy" -- is that OK at work?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Exactly.
"Poor, poor US
If you're stuck with having to get up and go to work anyway, America's got to be the best place on earth for it. I'm thinking miners in China and Africa probably have somewhat bigger things upsetting them and not a single soul to give a damn."

2 questions
[Read the article: I know my co-worker's evil secrets -- because I was his therapist!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Without reading all of the posts for reasons I cannot DISCLOSE ;)
Ooof! What an unfortunate coincidence.
1.)Why can't you, Dear LW, have a meeting with someone in HR (along with your boss) and tell them you can't work closely with this person because you are his former therapist/counsel/healer?
2.) If no to question #1, then how are you at acting?
Good luck!

"Gaydar Tower to TDHO"
[Read the article: Do you have to be gay to tell another guy his eyes are pretty?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Oh Cary, thank you very much! I needed this belly laughter and gaffawing that you've given ! That is hysterically funny. I can't even write because I am laughing now ....
You rock!
LW, about your co-worker, he is confused (or full o' himself), which is confusing to be around.
Still laughing, from vaca,
