  • My Father had Exorcisms Performed on my Mother (Long Post)

    I come out of a household of similar circumstances, and it's interesting how Prudie missed the context of this person's predicament. Her advice this week was uncharacteristically (secularly) righteous, and surprisingly wrongheaded, and failed to take into account the dependence issues that arise in families with bizarre religious beliefs, as ...

  • Fake Letters this week.

    These letters have to be fake. I mean, the first two are straight out of the movies or off of the television. Letter #1 is about some random guy who has a fetish about being in diapers. CSI had the same thing on last season. Letter #2 is objecting to a supposed family ''tradition'' where an older unmarried sibling has to dance at the wedding of ...

  • Re: SlateV: Kissing her ex; Be a Man, Take a Stand

    I have to agree with Jburd. Kissed Off is not in touch with his nature here. A man should naturally feel protective and defensive of his wife from other men. Kissed Off is from the Midwest, right? Are bulls defensive of their cows? Are any kind of male animal defensive of his female companion(s)? Birds? Mammals? Even reptiles and amphibians show ...
