What the hell do you do with a permanent soap dish?

My husband and I recently moved into a new apartment which we love… except for one design detail. The bathroom counter has a permanent pink shell soap dish attached to it right between our sinks. I would put soap in it, but we use liquid soap. So… there it sits. Mocking me. I’ve tried to embrace the shell, but when the rest of your bathroom theme is NOT shells… what’s a gal to do?

How do you get into reading comic books?

I’ve been thinking about reading comic books (or graphic novels? Are they different?) for a while, but I just don’t know where to start. Can the Homies suggest some comics and a good issue to start with?

Where should we go for offbeat, kid-friendly vacations?

We really want to get together for a totally off-the-beaten-path vacation. We have quite the crew of kids between us, ranging from 2 years old to 11 years old. What are you suggestions for offbeat vacations for people with kids?

“Why do you smoke?”

I, like most people, know the risks and dangers associated with smoking. We should — we hear them often enough. So when a kid, who are often present at adult parties, asks me “Why do you smoke?” it becomes difficult to answer.

How do you get back into the sexual saddle when you’re not able to ride the horse?

There’s a ton of information out there about how to get back into the sexual saddle, but not much about what to do when you’re not able to ride the horse, so to speak.
