The kerfufle at my Congressional gala aside, I think we should get together for coffee or lunch sometime. I enjoy your company and your insight. Perhaps if I can find a few spare moments after my return from Florida. Let me know.

Is it really murder if it's in the name of science? Such as, if it seems that a person can not be killed by any means, is it murder to test that?

What would you suggest for a romantic getaway for, oh, a dashing young man who likes to save the universe, who gets sweetly flustered at so many things, likes cricket, and wears celery?

What do you do when you love someone, and you wasted years you could have spent with them, but now that you know what a mistake you made, they have someone else? Part of me thinks I should leave him, so he has his time with the woman he's longed for all these years. But part of me says to stay, that maybe he'll still see me here.
Should I stay or go? I think he might be happier if he were able to just be with her....

I can't stop running, so pardon the handwriting issues...
I can only go forward and not back to the past; mine or anyone else's. Is that so wrong?

There's this guy I used to know who I cared deeply for. Then he left without explanation or warning.
For a while I waited for him to come back, but then I got on with my life and I thought I would be okay.
Just recently, I ran into him again. He had a new friend/partner, almost young enough to be my granddaughter.
And instead of being dignified and above it all, I dissolved into an emotional mess, alternating between being needy and accusatory, sniping at his friend, who I'm sure is a very nice girl and generally playing the fool.
I don't want to be that woman. The one who can't let go of the past.
Why can't I just accept that he's just not that into me and let him go?

How do you start again? How do you just get on and live your life no matter how much it all hurts and how much you want it all to end. I've lost the people I love too many times, including
youa man I love with all my heart, my parents and closest friends.How do you learn to survive and stay strong and not give up.

Can a person let go of their past and what they've done and had done to them and learn to look to the future and be happy? I love her. She loves me. But how can I be sure it won't end like all the rest?
Are we condemned to repeat our mistakes?

I think my hair could be scruffier-looking. I want it to look like it could come to life any moment and demand a sacrifice, like yours does. What's your secret?

I haven't seen my family in ages. We didn't part on the best terms. I think I'm ready to face them, but I'm not sure how they'll feel about my reappearance. How do I re-introduce myself for the first time?
