Good evening, everybody. I hope you're having a great night. We've got a brilliant show

plan for you, as always. I'm going to be talking about ways to deal with toxic family members.

Why? Because the holidays are coming up, and that's something that's always on people's minds.

I know. You know, you go home and all the old ways of being, all the old struggles, the wounds,

bam, right back in your face.

I'm hoping people are going to be able to travel for Christmas.

We have to see, though, right?

Thanksgiving didn't go so well.

Christmas, we'll see.

The vaccine will most likely be available to the general public toll deep into next year, you know.

So we'll see what happens with Christmas, but as always, we'll be here reminding you that it's okay to do it differently, right? We can still decorate, celebrate,

just have to kind of, you know, keep a little bit of a space from those we normally spend

time with. Interesting article, and this made me laugh. It's basically about how dating over 65,

a lot of people, women specifically specifically don't want to live together.

Now, the article is looking at how a lot of men over the age of 65 want to move in with a woman,

keep dating, they want companionship, they want to build a traditional relationship.

However, these men are finding that there's a lot of resistance to women their age who want

to maintain their own lives.

They've already done marriage, kind of burnt them out the way that the marriage was run.

They don't want a full-time relationship necessarily.

They want the companionship, but they don't want the codependence, the tension of living in close quarters, the sacrifices, the caregiving, all the emotional labor.

Oh, yeah, that's right.
