I'm wondering how someone who goes around wearing a wedding ring succeeded in the dating pool. Normally a wedding ring sends a flashing Do Not Enter message - except to those looking for flings with married people.

I marvel with distress that in 2015 we are fighting the vaccination wars.

So be open about some of your own struggles or express gratitude that your kids are taking advantage of the opportunities they have instead of squandering many of them, the way you did.
