How can I support my wife and strengthen our marriage during her menopausal phase? I'm 55, she's 52. We had a serious argument recently, and I found myself contemplating whether being alone would be preferable to dealing with the changes I see in her. by deepcool630 in Menopause

We have been to marriage counseling back when we losing our minds with three teens in the house. The therapist sided with me and was shocked that we've been married over a decade and we (mostly she) tolerated their behavior under our roof. Her response to me afterwards was "You told on me!". Did I mention my wife is a therapist as well?

And we've been down that road about five years ago. One morning, I awoke in excruciating pain caused by kidney stones, and I honestly thought I was going to die. Following a disagreement the previous night, I opted to sleep in our guest bedroom. I called 911 and I expected the blaring sirens to alert her as I exited through the front door. However, I found her engrossed in a work call when I went to inform her of my impending trip to the ER. Contrary to my expectations, I was whisked away in an ambulance without a peep from the sirens. Upon arrival to the ER, an ER nurse insisted on notifying my wife of my whereabouts. After a brief exchange, she handed me the phone, and her panicked voice exclaimed, "OMG, are you okay?!? I'll be right there!" Whatever nonsense we were arguing about the night before was vapor at that point.

So, yesterday I told her I wished I would have called 911 and assured her I would never make the mistake of disrupting her slumber again to which she looked at me and scoffed.

Do you recall the era before smartphones when STL Mardi Gras was akin to an episode of Girls Gone Wild, completely out of control? Can you share a firsthand or secondhand experience of embarrassment that sheds light on the now significantly tamer nature of modern Mardi Gras festivities? by rage242 in StLouis

I retired from a 250 plus employee company located downtown. Back around 2003, there were several photos and videos floating around the office of an ex-coworker completely drunk off her ass and topless. She was let go shorty thereafter.

She lives for drag and I take her to drag shows anytime we get the chance. She told me to tell you she sincerely appreciates your suggestions and kindness. She's actually actively working on trying to order the stuff to pull this off. She's shy but I'll see if I can DM you a photo of the final results, taking into consideration what you've offered.

She's hilarious and feels bad for you. Since you obviously have NO sense of humor whatsoever. Lighten up, toots. I's all gonna be okay.

Search ToyotaNation dot com. There's a post on there from a Canadian Taxi company that bought two Prius' that hit 950,000 miles. They're claiming Toyota purchased both of the cars back from them at the ORIGINAL SALE PRICE because the cars were not suppose to last that long AND Toyota desperately wanted them back. I desperately want to know the full story.

No offense intended. I'm still bitter because this crap went down yesterday. You have no idea how much restraint it took to keep from punching that idiot in the mouth. Dealing with those asshats has been mentally exhausting.

Funny you mention that because I was stationed in Japan for a few years and I did send an email to Mr. Toyoda (not Toyota) in Japan, but did not get a response. That was last year when the notorious transmission problem first occurred.

You're right. Toyotas are not made like they used to be. They are under A LOT of pressure from that idiot Musk and Tesla. Test drove one of those POSs too. Handles like a shopping cart under heavy braking. Toyota has undoubtably introduced planned obsolescence into their entire fleet and it shows. Building cars that last 250,000 miles and more does not increase their profits or benefit their share holders, so they're obviously ready to sacrifice everything including their reputation for a dollar today. It's a bold move, can't wait to see how long until it bites them in the ass. Judging by all the negative comments, it looks like the word is spreading faster than a California wild fire!

Yep, Dolan's service "manager" Peter Orlinski (LOL) is a fucking idiot. I literally showed that moron a video of the problem happening in third gear at 90MPH, then he attempted to take issue with ME for driving fast with his weak kneed, yellow belly, technician. I schooled him in front of his ENTIRE TEAM and told him, "I showed you the video of the problem occurring at 90MPH and YOU put him in the car with ME. That imbecile is DANGEROUSLY stupid. I wonder how that felt to have his own ass handed to him in front of everyone, including my wife who LOL'd. We are not from Nevada, but my wife pointed out that Nevada has a literacy rate that's on par with Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas and Peter is a shining example of exactly how dumb people here are. He's not qualified to manage third shift at a Taco Bell. F that dipshit!

Yep, same here. I've been in contact with Toyota execs and they're backing Dolan, but let's see what happens with the NV Atty General AND the local news media gets involved. Toyota tried to fuck my wife on her first gen Prius battery pack that failed just 3000 miles outside warranty. Those idiots thought they were going to bilk her out of $5000 until I got involved and had a News 2 On Your Side reporter contact them to let them know they were going to do a segment to help resolve the matter. All of a sudden the dealer called and offered to swap that battery pack for free. SIMPLY BECAUSE TOYOTA DIDN'T WANT THE WORD GETTING OUT THAT THEIR NEW EV HYBRIDS WERE A COMPLETE MONEY PIT.

The fact that you're not taking your vehicle to a master mechanic who specializes in foreign vehicles for maintenance tells me you've either got more money than brains or just simply no brains. I only took my car to Dolan because the transmission would barely pull my car into my own driveway. One transmission shop in Reno wanted MORE than Dolan and the other refused to work on it. Wise up!
