Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on Sirius XM Trium 11.

Julie, welcome to the program.

Hi there, Dr. Laura. I'm so honored to talk with you.

Thank you. What can I do?

My question to you is, my question for you is, do I take a burden of hand or look for the blush?

I am 60 years old.

I love that. Wait a minute. Let me sit with that.

I'll take the hand and I get the bush.

Right now, I vote for the bush.

I'm not a bird in the hand, kind of woman. You know, bush will attract more birds and maybe I'll get a better bird.

Okay, go ahead. So your 60 and your boyfriend is how old?

Yes, he's 60. Well, actually, 59. He's a few months younger than me.

Oh, I got yourself a younger stud. I like it. All right, go ahead.

Yeah, just a few months, but basically the same age.

Two of you divorced two of you divorced would owed what?

Yes, we're both divorced. Me for six years, him for over 10 years.

We're both empty nesters. We don't live together. We each have one adult son that is each living their best life.

No issues with that.

That my dilemma is, is that he's one of those very good men, country boys.

But as a normal guy, he's not real communicative and he's not really emotional, which I don't want a woman. I want a man. So I guess that.

But his, you know, the way he shows me love is by doing things for me.

So, for example, what prompted my call, I was in Alaska last week, beautiful, by the way, with my adults. I'm going to a great trip.
