    R.I.P. Willy...

    I've always been a "cat person." Never owned a dog. Don't dislike dogs, I've just always enjoyed the company of cats more. This weekend, one of my cats, Willy, passed away.

    Herpes...

    Here's an interesting one. I'm 40 and single. Been in the dating scene, and of course, practicing safe sex. I started seeing a woman recently. Had maybe three dates. We made out a bit, no sex, but was clearly headed in that direction. So, she disclosed to me that she has herpes - HSV-1, to be...

    Teen smoking...

    So, here we go. I caught my 15-year old son smoking. He said all the right things, that it was just the one time, that smoking is stupid, yada yada. I realized I couldn't trust that that was the case. Last week, he was caught smoking at school. So, I guess my question is: now what? How can I...

    Theory on resurrecting old posts...

    So, in looking around here, I often see the moderators slapping the wrists of people who respond to older threads. If I can pose a theory, it's this: in many cases people do this because they have just joined the site, usually because they have a question they want to ask. But then, they...

    Trusting my teen...

    Hey folks! First post here, thought I would try to get some advice. I'm a single dad, with a 14-year old son. Technically, he's my, uh, ex-step-son - the biological son of my ex-wife. We were divorced a little over a year ago, reasonably amicably. I have been with "Bob" since he was almost 2...
