Dear Libby
Dear Libby While cleaning my daughter Lisa's room, I happened to come across a box of condoms, 10 condoms in a box of 12. Lisa's only 14 and until recently a well behaved and popular girl in school. What should I do?
Thanks Rita
Dear, dear dear Rita. Your humble scribe has to a admit to taking a sip of vanilla extract and a puff of a cheroot before answering. This is shocking.
First off, get someone else to count the condoms, most of our readers aren't strong in arithmetic.
If the total is indeed right, most would suggest that you sit down with little Lisa and have the "Talk". I don't recommend that because it would be embarrassing.
The way I see it is you have a couple of options Boot Camp or adoption. This child could end up shaming you and it's better to cut the ties now before the taint affects your social standing.
My Gosh what kind of world do we live in? Kathie Lee Gifford has a career and when children aren't tanning, they are having s*x?
In my day you tanned and had s*x because you had to plain and simple.
Dear Libby:
I have been married to the same man for 24 years, we have one son, who is now married and a school teacher.
About 3 years ago, I was in a bad auto accident. I broke my c2, neck in two places. I wore a halo unit for 4 months. Anyway during the time I wore the halo unit, my husband took me over to see my best friend. a year later she told me when we were over there that he kissed her in her kitchen. He admitted that that happened. Well, ever since then I have been depressed, I can not trust him any more.
I feel so betrayed. I have caught him in so many lies, I guess because I am so watchful now. Do you think I will ever be able to trust him again?
Thank you, Paula
Dear Paula:
Well of course you're not ever going to be able to trust him, that goes without saying, but trust is really overrated.
Ask yourself the following before you make any moves: Are you well provided for? Do you have a house, an SUV a DVD? If the answer is yes, then just turn a blind eye.
If the answer is no, you are in big trouble and you will have to change.
It all seems to date back to your accident —Perhaps your irresponsibility drove him to do it. I'm also concerned with your obsession with saintliness, you mentioned your halo twice in one paragraph.Frankly Paula no matter how you recall it I doubt that you were as sainted in your recovery days as you remember. Women can be hard to live with at that best of time dear and broken women are worse.
Count yourself lucky that you had such a good friend to take over your duties and learn a good meatloaf recipe.

Do You have a Problem?
Dear Libby can help, email me and make it brief I don't exist just to fix up your messed up life.
Confidential to Annie: A glass jar is no place to keep a loved one. It is tacky and probably unhygienic, smarten up and get a hobby.
Confidential to Georgia:
Two wrongs will eventually make a right. I have to admit that I don't believe his story about being rendered completely invisible either, but really: what choice do you have?
