Ask Amy: Drunken assault severs longtime friendship
We all plan to "sit down together" and have our meal at the same time.
I'll ask my Mom to pass the salt and she'll hand it to the camera, while I reach for my saltshaker off camera and say "Thanks! Got it!"
It's a GREAT way to share a fun, interactive time together. (With less clean up, and more leftovers for me!)
We also send gifts to each other, and then open them in "real time," via webcam.
-- Santa Solved
Dear Solved: This sounds like a lot of fun. It is a great way to use technology in order to spend time together.
Dear Amy: I was deeply confused about the advice you gave to "Wanting More." Some of the advice you've given in the past led me to believe that you were supportive of women's rights regarding reproductive freedom.
Please help me understand this double standard. Why is it OK for a woman to have an abortion without her partner's agreement, but it is also OK for a partner to decide that a woman should not have children?
Why is it "my body" if I don't want children, but not "my body" if I do?
-- Confused
Dear Confused: If "Wanting More" wants to have more children -- she is within her rights to do so. If she wants to stay married to her husband, she has to take his wishes into account.
