Dear Flora: COVID Job Scams
Dear_Flora
Dear Flora,I was laid off from my last job due to COVID-19. Ever since, I've been looking for work, but it's been really hard to get an interview for anything. I've been sending resumes and applications for months, and so far have had three interviews in as many months. One didn't even answer, and the other was an almost immediate rejection. But the third was interesting, and I'm weirded out ... ...more

EnglishMajorLeagues
When I first became a mom, I didn't want to use formula. I tried everything to avoid it, but still got stuck buying the stuff by what seemed like the bucket. Even a non-parent can tell you that that stuff can cost an arm and a leg! So, during those budget stretching months, I picked up a few tricks to save a few dollars on formula. First, don't worry so much about the brand name. Some babies ... ...more

Dear Flora: Polyamory and PPD
Dear_Flora
Dear Flora, I've been with my husband for 8 years now, married for 3. If it matters, I'm also a man. We've always had a satisfying sex life, and I'm very happy with him. I feel like we have always communicated our needs well, and during a recent heart-to-heart, my husband communicated a need that I'm not sure how to handle: polyamory. We've had threesomes in the past, but it was always with ... ...more

Chris Mentillo
