		<description><![CDATA[Dear C, Ever wondered what it is exactly that doctors do while you wait for them in the examining room? You know the routine. First, the nurse asks you to strip down to your skivvies (or worse), then hands you a paper hospital gown, which you inevitably put on the wrong way round. Then she [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[P, You know I promised, in our most recent conversation, to keep my response to your frequent and enlightening correspondence out of the realm of the nether regions, not always an easy thing for me.&#0160; But you send a missive discussing pap smears and granny panties.&#0160; Where can I possibly go with that but spiraling [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dearest C, Thank you so much for largesse in allowing me and mine to dip our toes in your newly-heated pool this past weekend. No doubt, you noticed the bailiffs at our door the other day, ripping the gameboy out of my eldest&#8217;s arms, and decided to take pity on your neighbors in their hour [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[P, You can imagine my shock and surprise at hearing about your latest misfortunes, especially considering the recent sum you dropped at Urban Chic for that fabulous pair of blue jeans.&#160; My own mother might suggest that such failure to conserve one&#8217;s assets results in a well-deserved fall from grace, but I like to think [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[P, I was most distressed to learn that your orthopedic surgery visits have still failed to diagnosis what we have known all along: there is definitely something wrong with you.&#160; I am frankly quite surprised as my previous involvement with a professional in this field, albeit more of a marriage than an appointment, reinforced that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dearest C, Wait a minute &#8211; there was a hubby before hubby?! Did he die in a horror jet-ski accident before being miraculously coming back to life and marrying your evil step-sister who secretly gave birth to you in a cave and is therefore, unbeknownst to you, your biological mom? While I admire how you [...]]]></description>

It also goes a long way to explain the thing the oldballandchain seems [...]]]></description>
