"Dear Carolyn: "I originally wrote to you about my sister's death and how to handle mourning in the future when my family expands with children. Since I wrote you, I have thought a lot about this situation. I decided that from now on, I will celebrate my sister's life on her birthday...

Wow, saw this on Overheard in NY and immediately thought of the elevator/judging people post from a few weeks ago. At least they're not acting like this:
Larger woman in elevator eating Snickers bar: No matter what I do, I
can't lose no weight!
Less fat friend: Mm-hmm.
(elevator goes one floor up and
stops. Both go to ge...t off)Suit #1: Unbelievable, no wonder you have
weight issues.
Larger
woman: What? 'scuse me? What you know about me?
Suit: Other than you are fat,
can't take the stairs for one floor, and are stuffing your face with a king size
Snickers?
Less fat
friend: Shit, he do know you.Read More

Terry Southwell Hey, what's a guy like me (64 year old, happily married forever, 2 grown, well adjusted, happy kids) doing in a site like this? Well, I read the newspaper (techno dinosaur alert!) and really enjoy your column. You are a breath of fresh air (and sanity) in a world sorely lacking in same.
Julia M Cabrera-Woscek I want to thank you for all your advice. I have read your columns since the beginning and have helped me greatly in making personal decisions (with fewer HUMUNGOUS mistakes). Love the profile picture (colors in the back and tame in the attire). The jacket rocks! Where did you get it from? The embroidery is awesome.

Oh Carolyn, you make me wish I was in an unhealthy relationship just so you could help me out of it.
On a side note: I'm suspicious that the mug in your photo has no contents.
Daisy Cusick Kiley You can get to Paradise (PA) from Intercourse (PA) but it will take you 1 1/2 hrs. Hopefully worth the trip...

Carolyn, I can't believe how much I have learned from you about life and about relationships over the last 10 or more years. I am deeply grateful, since much of what I know about healthy vs. unhealthy relationships is because of the wisdom you have imparted. Whenever I face a dilemma or struggle in a relationship, wh...ether a romantic relationship, a family relationship, or a work relationship, I look at it through the lens you have given to me through your insightful columns, and I am so much better for it. I owe you a deep debt of gratitude for the ways you have truly changed my life, big and small, over the years.Read More

Nice tidbit from today's chat:
PA city names:
Having grown up in southcentral PA, I was always amused that Intercourse, PA is not far from Blue Ball, PA.
Carolyn Hax: Many
of you will be happy to know that you can get from Blue Ball to
Intercourse in 16 minutes, without traffic. If you get there by way of
Bareville, it'll take you an 6 extra minutes.

Carolyn Hax takes your questions and comments about her columns and any other questions you might have about the strange train we call life.
Rita Bubniak Carolyn, I clipped and saved most of your "Advice for the Under 30 Crowd" columns for my daughter when she was a baby. She is now 13. Do those colums exist in a digitally acessessible form so I can clean out my closet?
Anne Lindyberg Loved last week's chat. Intolerance of intolerance rocks. :-)
Karen Abbott Comiez Love reading the chats! Any chance you'll be posting the official Hax Lexicon with baconpants and whatnot?
Alvaro Llanos Muchas gracias. Leo su columna siempre! Me encanta leerla :)
John I wish there were more people like you in the world.
