The universe has good news for the lost, lonely, and heart sick.

The sugars are here, speaking straight into your ears.

I'm Steve Olman.

I'm Cheryl Strayed.

This is Dear Sugar's.

Oh dear song, won't you please?

She has some little sweet days with me.

I check my belly every day.

Oh, and this sugar, you see in my way.

Hi Steve.

Hi Cheryl.

Here we are going to do another rapid fire episode.

I love these because we get to answer so many letters.

I have this pressing feeling all the time when I look in our inbox.

If all of these letters, it's like the letters we will never answer.

Listeners, I hope you know if you're one of those people who has written to us.

What we try to do, even if we can't answer every individual letter,

we try to answer every kind of letter.

We hope that if we don't answer your specific question,

there will be other questions that are really applicable to yours.

Exactly.
