0:00.0	Time now for a refresher from my Dr. Laura Call of the Day archives. Remember, you can hear my
0:06.2	live radio program weekdays 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Sirius XM Triumph, 111.
0:16.6	Dean, welcome to the program. Thank you so much, Dr. Laura.
0:24.5	I'm calling because I have a 20-year-old daughter.
