		<description><![CDATA[Darling P, I was fully prepared to lecture you about establishing good boundaries with your children and not allowing their petty manipulations to sway your good judgment in matters they cannot fully understand.  Which, unless I&#8217;ve missed an important detail in your saga, is exactly what you should do.  My situation, however, is entirely different [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear C, I am hoping you can help with a little marital dispute the oldballandchain and I seem to be having (shocking, I know). It has recently come to my attention that my IQ is three points higher than his. Never mind that this knowledge was acquired during the course of an at-home intelligence test [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dearest C, I fear I may have found the key to happiness, only it involves leaving hearth, home and esp. children safely ensconsed in another&#8217;s care while one jets off to a retirement community in Florida for the weekend.&#160; OK, so the retirement community masquerades as a country club, complete with a dress code for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[P, As someone shockingly close in age to eligibility for a retirement community, I may need to reconsider our time spent together and find a much older set.&#160; I certainly don&#8217;t need to compete with you as we scope out the bar for the older gentleman inclined to forget his own children in the will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[P, I admire your attempt to deflect attention from your own impending marital crisis by focusing my eyes upon the potential affection between ma mere and pere (it&#8217;s as yucky to imagine now as thirty years ago, thank heavens!), but I fear my ability to lie low in this matter may not exist.&#160; I just [...]]]></description>
