		<description><![CDATA[Dear C, Remember how I was just telling you over tea this afternoon that my new philosophy in life is to only make choices that make my life LESS hellish, not more? It all so seemed simple, didn&#8217;t it? When weighing up two competing options, one of which would result in disappointment or inconvenience to [...]]]></description>

		<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>

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[Darling P, Really shocked to discover you don&#8217;t already know that hubby already agrees with everything I say.  In fact, he often fails to allow me to finish a complete thought before declaring I am &#8220;absolutely right&#8221;  while returning, head bobbing in consent, to his blackberry.  The problem, of course, is that he hears not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear C, It has come to my attention, once again, that not everyone in this world considers us to be two separate people. The first time it happened, you will recall, was when a reader stumbled across our correspondence and asserted her belief that only one person was writing both sides of our intimate exchange.

		<description><![CDATA[Dear C, First it was T-shirts. Then it was miniskirts. Now, it seems, I have been forced to relinquish the last bastion of cool: tight jeans. More specifically: jeans so constricting, you need to renounce yoga and take up escape art just to wear them, since you will only have 3 minutes between wriggling them [...]]]></description>

I know that your mother is visiting from the homeland and requires your rapt attention, especially at tea time when the place settings must be just so, but if you can spare a moment, I would most [...]]]></description>
