Your advice was really good, but kind of hard and flip sometimes.

To the woman with the hair removing mother in law..listen to Prudie exactly. Except don't be so mad at your hubby as Prudie is for trying to have everyone be agreeable and interact. If he's young, this error of his is understandable, especially if he can see that Prudie is right, he's on the wrong side of this. I'm with you ladies both, if you'll have me.

T mother in law say, in an increasingly threatening tone, "Get lost mother in law, and drop it, before I START REMOVING YOUR HAIR A HANDFUL AT A TIME!" You're younger, stronger, faster, and smarter, right? Show mother in law what time it is. Take a handful of hair for a demo if necessary. It might be a kindness, ending an ongoing family conflict abruptly and finally. Sell it to hubby that way.

To the confused lover emerging from mental illness, he may not yet know how to be a mensch. I was emotionally stunted as a young man and it took me some long time and many women to learn how to love another, rather than just feel love for them.. True he's about to be a selfish cad, and good for Prudie for seeing that, but I think he's dumb emotionally, and therefore vulnerable to narcissism as he emerges from depression and dysfunction.

Who does he want to be? That's the question. What you do shapes who you become. Do this woman wrong, and your on your way to being a stunted callous rat bastard narcissist. You don't owe her everything. But you owe her something that is a lot more than nothing, and you should find a way to honor that and advance her. To love her as she loved you. " Love" the verb is harder to do than love the noun, but is a higher and more profound art, as our love changes the lives of those around us for the better...

..Welcome to the ranks of the emotionally healthy. Its tricky sometimes, just do your very best, and remember, you're new as a full player, so you can learn from others' examples and insight. Even if you do feel better.

To the flatulent people: You know what works? Once in a while warm water enemas. Twice. The second rinse is a separate extraction (forgive the pun) and is worth doing. Don't make me present the math on dilution by multiple extractions. Take it from this old biologist/chemist, it reduces the high level of gas generating bacteria in the lower colon. You'll feel a big difference.

The girl with the language skills? Yeah, I'd keep that under my hat, and get social value out of the day someone finally discovers it. One thing that deeply impresses people is restraint. i wouldn't give that jazz away for free. I'm not as gifted as that woman, but I'm very Anglo but do speak surprisingly good Spanish, which I do mess with Hispanic heads sometimes, but more often its the whites that are surprised i speak it. but no one is that shocked anymore, like they would be for Japanese, which is rarer and tougher than Spanish. Keep it quiet and sell it for more than a cell phone photo when the time comes.
