I don't give a damn if he's sick or well or dead or alive.

The show from WNYC about the things we think about a lot.

The first few texts that came to my husband's phone were just kind of confusing.

And then it became more insistent. Where are you?

Why are you not responding to me? This is Amanda. That's not her real name. She first told us this in an email, but asked us to change all the names in this story to protect her family. I did a
