Activity for 2d Bride

For background, see this post. So today, we learn that although the bride's mother has figured out that my marriage is a same-sex one, she has not told the bride's father. She assumes he will just figure it out during the reception. And there will be...

One of the meds I take is desipramine, a very old antidepressant that seems to work better for me than any of the new ones. It's a generic, but apparently several manufacturers have recently stopped making it, so the price skyrocketed. Here is what I...

My son is getting married on Sunday. I'm thrilled that my son has found someone he loves, who also loves him, and they are getting married. The wedding, though, is going to be incredibly stressful. For an example of a family that puts the fun in...
