Something tells me I've seen this movie before. Back in my own elementary school days, we read about Dick and Jane. Even at that tender age, it was clear to me that they were Protestants and Republicans, although I had only the foggiest idea what those things were.
DEAR HARRIETTE: I know you usually talk to adults, but I need help. My parents are in the middle of getting a divorce, and it's been tough on the whole family, but it's for the best because their relationship hasn't been working for many years. I am 13 years old, and they told me that I need to pick who I want to live with for the majority of the year. They think it's best that I stay in one spot for school, and it can get exhausting to have to switch houses every week.
Dear Doctors: I keep seeing news stories about a diet that supposedly reverses aging. It involves something called 'methylation.' Is this real, or is it just someone's new theory? It seems like instead of doing what we know works, like eating right and keeping fit, we keep hoping to find a magic formula.
WARREN, N.H. — Not that they share a mutual dislike, nor that they consider each other a threat to the nation or to democracy, nor even that they hold a decadeslong grudge, but Joe Lieberman and Dick Gephardt are at it again.

DEAR HARRIETTE: I am a 24-year-old man, and I bought a trailer home about a year ago. I like that I am a homeowner, but the anxiety that comes with being one is consuming me every day. I work in construction, and I go home every day on my lunch break to ensure that nothing is wrong with it. I wake up with my heart racing, scared that something will go wrong with the electricity or plumbing — or that I might even get robbed.
I'm writing this on my birthday and feeling more than usually grateful.
Is Ron DeSantis defeated? Not yet. But he is clearly depleted and increasingly desperate.
DEAR HARRIETTE: How do I go about telling my roommate that I no longer want to room with her because she snores too loudly? Our apartment lease is almost up, and we need to decide if we want to live together again and renew it. She told me she definitely wants to room together again because I was such a great roommate. She was, too. She does a really good job at cleaning up after herself and respecting my boundaries.
Dear Doctors: Our mom had an aortic dissection last fall, and she almost died. It happened all of a sudden, and she was in good health. That makes her worry that it might happen again. Can you please talk about aortic dissection?
