0:00.0	Hi guys, it's Nora. If you like what we've done here on Terrible Thanks for asking, you might
0:06.3	want to check out our YouTube channel. We have two new videos going up every week over at
0:12.9	YouTube.com slash at feelings, A-N-D, co. That's feelings and co. There's a link to it in our show description. So see over on
0:23.2	YouTube if that's what matters to you.
0:46.4	It's been a minute since we did calls. We took a few weeks off this summer. We had a little bit of a summer break, but we are back. I'm back in the studio. I am back on the phone and I am here to chat. So today we have several different calls, which I guess is the plural of calls. They're going to be different if you have several calls. But we have calls about health insurance.
1:13.5	We have calls about invisible strings, those connections from the beyond. And we have a caller
1:21.0	with a question for you. Specifically, if you are a Gen Xer, if you are a Gen Xer who is married or who has been
1:29.3	married, our first caller has a very urgent question for you. So listen and then please call in,
1:38.0	give us your opinion. Let us know what you think. It's 612-568-441. Let's get to the calls. Hi, Nora. Oh, I guess I really do need to talk about
1:50.5	this. It's bothering me more than I thought. I'm a 56-year-old woman whose body is a little bit
1:56.3	out of control from the menopause, but, you know'm healthy and I'm smart and I'm a little
2:01.7	lumpy but I got sass but I feel invisible nobody looks at me and while I can

2:13.7	the flight attendant it's just killing me that my husband does too. We've been married for
2:19.2	14 years with my second marriage. And I really thought that at age 42, like I had my shit together
2:25.4	and I picked the right guy. This is hitting hard as a 42 year old who also like thought like 42.
2:32.3	I don't know. This is going to be the year. I got my stuff together. Okay.
2:36.5	I have two children from my first marriage. And while I only one is still living, I've done the work to integrate, you know, the ache of losing a kid, you know, into my life.
2:48.2	And, you know, my daughter recently had a baby and she and my son-in-law
2:53.1	and my grandson are just the light of my life. And I babysit four days a week and it's the best.
2:59.6	But, you know, when I come home, there's no romance, no kind gestures, no sex, no conversation.
3:05.5	We're very polite roommates, you know, two people with separate lives
