Dear Sisters,
Why does everyone try to say Laura Bush is so much more attractive than Hillary Clinton?
Jena: Beats me; neither is a beauty queen. But then, that is not their line of business, now is it? One more thing--who is everyone?
Michele: I think that people just have to find something to talk about. Those that prefer not to talk politics talk fashion.
Elana: I think they both look fine. I do not talk politics, so I must be one of those folks who talks fashion. They both look better than Angelina Jolie. Everybody's entitled to their own opinion. Right? As insipid as it might be.

Evil Sister
Dear Sisters,
I am a 50 year-old woman, although I probably look no older than 35 years-old. I am a really attractive woman and have always been so. Men have always found me attractive and to be honest I have loved all of the attention I have received over the years. I have one sister who loves to remind me that I am getting older and that my beauty is beginning to fade. I know and accept that little fact of life but I hate that my sister feels the need to tease me about it. What should I do to deter her comments?
Jena: Just keep on looking good. Looking older does not mean you have to look any less wonderful.
Michele: Ignore her, just like I imagine you have been doing for years.
Elana: Tell her how you feel. If she continues to tease you, then she's your sister and I don't rightly think there's much more to be done. Its certainly not worth shutting her out of your life.

Fish Out of Water
Dear Sisters,
I am a 36 year-old female. I am divorced and have a ten-year old son. I have been divorced for three years and this last year I really stepped out and began dating again. It was a rough and rocky road. The men I met were just awful. One was fifteen years older and a playboy. One was my age but he was more interested in gambling than me. He seemed like such a nice man—and he was nice, but he loved the track. It consumed his free time and I believe much of his money as well. And, what happened to moving slowly? These guys really expected to get to first base on the first or second date. I married when I was 19 years old. Have things really changed so significantly over the years? I feel like a like a fish out of water.
Jena: I understand totally. My only advice is to be careful. It sounds as if you went out with these men without doing at least a little homework. By homework I mean long, long conversations on the phone regarding their interests, and their life in general. Its amazing what one can glean from a few conversations.
Michele: And lets not forget background checks. The Internet is a wonderful, wonderful tool.
Elana: And lets not forget its just a date. Guys have been trying to get to first base on the first date as far back as I can remember. Just concentrate on a free night on the town and soon or later a nice guy will show up. But I would definitely stop looking under rocks to find them.
