DEAR HARRIETTE: I recently went out with a friend of mine. She had a few too many drinks. I asked her not to drive home and offered to call her an Uber, but she was adamant that she was fine to drive. Knowing that wasn’t the case, I convinced her to let me order her some food in the hope that she would sober up a little bit, but she was still insistent on driving home.
The TSA agent looked stern — as they usually do. “I’d like to look inside this bag, ma’am,” he said. “No problem!” I always sound a little too eager when being questioned by an authority figure. I’m trying so hard to prove I have nothing to hide that I sound like I must have something to hide.

DEAR HARRIETTE: My youngest daughter is graduating from college this year and is looking forward to moving in with her older sister when she graduates. Both girls live in a different state than me. While I love them both, I am hesitant about this decision.

I’m worried about the potential of a toxic relationship developing between the two of them.
Dear Doctors: Could you please write about hormone replacement therapy in menopause? It got labeled as dangerous due to a single study, which I’ve read is considered to be flawed. I started HRT before that study came out, and it saved my health, my ability to continue working and my marriage.
