Are You Sentimental?
Being the sentimental person that I am, I'm a total saver when it comes to anything special. I collect business cards of restaurants I've been to with friends, napkins from weddings, menus from great first dates, and place cards form dinner parties I've attended. I savor love letters, old photos of my parents when they were my age, and I even have a piece of the ratty, old blanket I used to snuggle with as a child.

Stranger than Fiction: School Used Lap Dance Therapy
When you think of activities to help the emotional growth of teens with behavior troubles or special learning needs, lap dances would probably be the last thing you'd think of.
But that's exactly what the staff at Mount Bachelor Academy came up with, and they forced students to undergo lap dance therapy as a part of their "emotional growth" curriculum. The boarding school was shutdown after students accused the staff of employing this dubious therapy, and a seven-month state investigation has just confirmed the allegations.
Meet Matchmaker Amy Andersen, Part II
Yesterday I shared part one of my interview with Amy Andersen, a high-end matchmaker who works with 800 successful singles.

Why You Should Trash the Term White Trash
Some people tire of more don'ts to add to the so-called politically correct list of things not to say. For me, I think it's important to be aware of what the language you use implies — what it means, who it might hurt, the power behind words. Political correctness (for lack of a better term) is just etiquette on a larger social scale.
Do Tell: What's Your Dream Date Night?
Couples who have been together for a while might find themselves penciling in a regular "date night." Eating at a favorite restaurant or heading to the nearby movie theater are usual favorites for those who try to carve out couple-time from their busy schedules.

You Asked: Should We Invite Them to Our Wedding?
Dear Sugar,
My fiance and I are getting married in August, and we are torn about whether we should invite one of our friends and his wife. We have been friends with him since college (nearly a decade) and he has been a wonderful, sweet, supportive, understanding friend and husband. His wife, on the other hand, could not be less supportive or more selfish.

Relationship Protocol: What Articles of Clothing Are Off-Limits?
I'm pretty comfortable with nudity, including getting dressed and undressed in front of a significant other. But as we all know, there are some articles of clothing, especially undergarments, that don't highlight your features in the best light. For example, tights are one thing that I would avoid putting on in front of my special someone at all costs!
