Dear Aimee, Do you think a married person should have friends of the opposite sex? I think if a relationship is strong then it will survive friends outside the marriage.

Just Smile and Wave Ladies
Dear Aimee, I keep a decent house most of the time, but if there ever is a day when it looks like a tornado hit, that is the day my mother-in-law or someone from church will drop in. Does this happen to anyone else? How do some women seem to keep their lives in order […]

GCB? Can I Plead the Fifth?
Well, you all are probably waiting for me to say GCB was either fabulously funny or horribly heretical. Well, it had elements of both. I don’t really feel the need to tell you if I will or won’t watch again, or if I approve or disapprove of the show. The sad thing was that I could absolutely […]
