Dear Dr. Ruth,

I seem to have a problem with spydercizing lately. My freinds claim that I am actually spyderbating, but I'm not. Really! What should I tell them?

Thanks.

PS. Love your show. Keep up the good work.

Zen's got it right, this is much ado about nothing. This is only about administrative operation of the ports which are already administrated by a foreign-owned company. Funny how the media didn't put up a stink when a China-owned company took over administration of west-coast ports...

I've actually had "friends" stop associating with me after they asked me about my job and I told them. Go figure. I guess they weren't friends then, in the first place.
Nope, definitely not friends.

BTW, did you ever get my e-mail about the Fogelsville drawing? :confused:
