Tempted in Tampa

Dear Baba Rumcake,

To divorce or not divorce …that is the question.

I am at the point where I think a sweet affair would be the momentary lovely balm to the sunburn. I am out here for one special woman… perhaps in a similar circumstance… if only to write about things… first…

What do you think?

Tempted in Tampa

Dear Tempted,

You may end up with blood poisoning, after, that "momentary lovely balm to the sunburn".

You know the old adage from the Baptists, Dancing leads to sex. Well, in this case, ...

Silence in Harbin Hot Springs

I spent three days in silence at Harbin Hot Springs. Harbin was the easiest place to do that since it is a retreat where people go to meditate, think and soak in the hot springs of Middletown, CA.

It was not so much that I had a lot to say, no; it was the habit of commenting on everything. Finding out that most of what I say to my husband was unnecessary, was a real slap in the face. Being silent for three days gave me the opportunity to discover the absurdity of my conversations.

Facebook Mom in Ft. Lauderdale

Dear Baba Rumcake,

My daughter is complaining, because I am insisting, that she "friend" me on FB. I pay her college tuition and her bills. What should I do?

Facebook Mom in Ft. Lauderdale

Dear Facebook Mom(s),

As Peanut, from Jeff Dunham, said, "Holy crap! Help me out! Help me out!"

Back off! That is the first thing I would suggest to you. Back the hello off!

FB is a Social Network; not a Spy Network.
Make your own damn friends. Let your daughter be. Let her grow up and have her own friends, her o...

Queen of Returns

Dear Baba Rumcake,

Why do so many people feel guilty & ashamed for returning things back to the stores? Or is it fear of intimidation by the bitchy sales people?

I'm the queen of returns. Anything wrong with that?

Queen of Returns from Quebec

Dear QoR,

Now, if you legitimately need to return things that are the wrong size, or the wrong color or whatever, then that would be fine. Returns, are sanctioned, when you need to exchange things you do not like, you did not buy or do not fit.

But, I have a ...

Remember Remember the Lies of September!

Cairo in Chaos as Protests Rock EgyptRemember Remember the  Lies of the eleventh of September!

This here, is not, the mantra, that, the devoid of all ethics and honor, Bush, kept repeating. This is suggested here, as a reminder, to beware of making any decisions based on lies and faulty intel, news reporting.

Before you use this, as an excuse, to "bring democracy" to Egypt, remember, the horrific outcome in Iraq. I thought a reminder is appropriate since it has been in the media quite a bit...

Cockroach Day, Down Under

While the Melbourne Cup, is a public holiday, only in Melbourne do people take the day off. But, everyone in Australia , has a day off for the annual cockroach races, partly because, the races take place, on Australia Day.

According to the story of cockroach racing, which started in 1981, two men, both, from Kangaroo Point, were arguing, at the bar, called the Story Ridge Hotel, about, which of their suburbs, was home to, the biggest cockroaches.  Of course, what else.

I must add, that I am...

Confused PDA Fan

Dear Baba Rumcake,

is it strange when guys are really into PDA?

Confused PDA Fan

Dear PDA Fan,

If by "really" you mean tearing someone's clothes off on a busy street corner, frenching during a family get together, or bumping uglies on a crowded bus, you may have a bit of a problem. If by "really" you mean holding hands on a walk, kissing in the corner at a party, or giving your lover a neck massage while with a group of friends, that might be considered more socially acceptable.

The other factor d...
