Kids, I don’t know what’s wrong with these kids today?

Dear Glampa,
do you think is appropriate for my daughter who is 14, taller than me and gorgeous to have a face book?

Dear Joan;
Now, I’m desperate for fame as much as the next girl, but let’s try to aim higher than “To Catch A Predator.”
Children, while lovely as props, are not my area of expertise. But may I offer this?
I would imagine the question first lies within you. Do you feel that it’s appropriate and do you trust your daughter? If so, maybe try allowing her to create a page through your page. One that can be monitored closely?
Because, like driving a car, it’s not you that you have to worry about it’s all the other drivers on the road.

  More I grew up thinking there had to be more. I desperately needed more. This couldn’t be all that there is. I WAS MORE.  I thought more was elusive to me, because I didn’t deserve more. I wish I had known back then that that’s all it was.  I had never dreamed I didn’t deserve more, and then when I realized that I deserved it I had no idea how to feel it.  What a bitch to be young and extra and not know what to do with it.  Now, I have more.  And I feel less.  And I don’t need more.

THAT’S what friends are for??

Dearest Glampa!  I have a lot to say to ex-friends, but I'm not petty enough to actually tell them. I have started to write each a letter, a letter I have no intention of ever delivering.  What are your thoughts? Signed,  I’ve got Mail.  Dear Mail,  Let’s unpack!  Without knowing the details, it’s hard to know emotions are and which aren’t petty. But, what’s more important is that they are your emotions. You don’t need to belittle them by calling them “petty” just because your ex-friend might be a cunt. Are you deflecting, or do you genuinely think that you’re responses to your friends are petty? (That’s ok too, sometimes… WE PETTY AND THAT’S ok!)   Having written a poisoned pen letter or two myself in my day, I can definitely attest to their validity as a tool for identifying and transcending emotions and situations I’m finding difficult. I am definitely on “team write the letter.” Say everything you need to, really get it all out. Where you go from h...

What sweeter words could a mother hear?

 Dear Glampa:  My husband's maternal grandmother has just turned 97. We have arranged a Zoom birthday party where we will all have our own cakes. It will also be Valentine's Day. Grinny recently asked if there would be sex in heaven. Would it be inappropriate to make a tasteful cock cake for the occasion? PS: my children will be present.  Sincerely, Consciously Curious Dearest CC,  Mmmmm,....cock.  Sorry, what was your question? Oh, yes! At 97, Grinny deserves any kind of cake that will bring her joy. Of course, the issue that some Puritan, repressed, mother fuckers will have is the kids.  If they know what the cake is, it’s time for “the talk.” If they don’t, just tell them it’s a rocket ship,...with veins.  Nothing wrong with a penis, especially if they happen to have one.
