0:35.3	Okay, by the way, to send an email to Dr. Laura at Dr. Laura.com. Very, very simple. I read them all. I don't read them all on air.
0:45.5	Hello, she writes, I heard your segment on doing special small things to make your marriage fun. And I'd like to share mine with you. My husband of 26 years
