Tidbits I absolutely adore F Minus by Tony Carillo. If I were a Miss America finalist, and was asked to name three people I would like to have dinner with, Tony Carillo would be at the top of my list. He is so wacked. I’d love to be a fly on the wall of his brain. [...]

Relationship Strategies Dear Aunt Sue, I just got home for the holidays and I know there’s going to be drama with my ex over the break. Everyone always says DO NOT hook up with your ex, so I figure it’s probably a stupid idea, but I’ve been thinking about him. We broke up at the end of [...]
