I need your opinion on something that's been eating at me all week.

My daughter and her husband live overseas. Earlier this year, my son in law’s new friend (let's call him K) reached out, saying he got scammed on an apartment rental. 

Had nowhere to stay. Could he crash for a weekend?

My daughter's got a good heart. She and her husband let him stay the full 20 days he asked for.

During that time, K never bought groceries. He'd "forget his wallet" or claim he could only use Apple Pay (their local store didn't take it). 

One night, my daughter and her husband split half a pizza. K ate an entire pizza and a half without contributing.

But they felt bad for the guy. Let it slide.

Few months later, they planned a 17-day trip. K was struggling with rent, so they offered him a deal: stay at their place for free, just take care of the dog.

My daughter wrote up instructions, told him he could eat anything that was gonna expire fruit, veggies, yogurt.

When They Got Back, EVERYTHING Was Gone

Entire fridge. Entire freezer. Entire pantry.

Two jars of jam, peanut butter, a giant Costco bottle of olive oil, condiments, rice, snacks, cheese, even my son-in-law's protein supplements. Gone.

What normally lasts them six months? This guy consumed in two weeks.

I don't think he actually consumed all this. I mean, it was a Costco bottle of olive oil. 

What's most likely is that he stole it and hoarded it somewhere for himself. 

Oh, and he completely destroyed one of their ceramic pans.

My daughter asked him to replace it.

You Know What He Said?

"It's just a pan. Why are you making such a big deal?"

I about lost my mind when she told me that.

Now K keeps texting my son-in-law like nothing happened. Wants to hang out.

My daughter told her husband she doesn't want this guy in their home ever again.

My son-in-law's response?

"You're being too harsh. If I want to stay friends with him, that's my choice."

Y'all.

I raised my daughter to be kind and generous. Some leech took advantage of that and disrespected her in her own home.

And my son-in-law, who should be standing beside his wife, is defending the guy who mocked her?

I'm trying not to overstep. It's their marriage, their life.

But what would you do if this were YOUR kid?

Would you keep your mouth shut like I'm trying to do? 

Or would you tell your son-in-law to wake the hell up and stop defending someone who treated his wife like garbage?

My wife says stay out of it. But I'm about ready to make a call.

What would you do?

Enjoy your Sunday.

What I’ve Learned From Sex Therapy This Week

My wife and I have been doing sex therapy for some time now. 

Every week I'm gonna share with you some of the most important things I've learned. 

So that you don't have to spend an arm and a leg on this shit. 

This week I became the world’s most educated man on what lubricants seniors should use and why. 

Here is what I learned.

When it comes to women, after menopause, things change down there. 

The tissue gets thinner, drier, and more fragile. What worked 20 years ago might now cause problems.

But you already knew that. You may not have known this. 

Store shelf lubricants are trash for us. 

The therapist gave us two numbers to look for when choosing a lube. 

pH Level (needs to be 3.8-4.5)

The vagina has natural acidity. If a lubricant's pH is above 4.5, it can mess that up and cause infections. Problem is, most store-bought stuff is way higher than that.

Osmolality (needs to be under 1200, ideally under 380)

This one sounds technical, but here's what it means: if this number is too high, the lubricant actually pulls moisture OUT of the tissue.

Yeah, you read that right. Instead of helping with dryness, it makes it worse. It can even cause the tissue to shrivel up. Terrible. Just terrible. 

Here is what to avoid

Glycerin: Can cause yeast infections. Linked to bacterial problems.

Parabens: May mess with your hormones. Not what you need.

Anything that tingles, warms, smells, or sparkles: If it's advertised to "heat things up," it's gonna irritate tissue that's already sensitive.

Here's my rule: if it glitters or has a scent, keep it away from your private parts.

What Actually Works

Water-Based (Best Option):

• No glycerin, no parabens

• Safe with condoms

• Easy cleanup

• Look for ones with hyaluronic acid or aloe vera

Silicone-Based:

• Lasts longer

• Good for sensitive skin

• Doesn't dry out

• Can't use with silicone toys

Pure Oils (like coconut oil):

• Use 100% organic only

• Safe and natural

• Can't use with latex condoms

Why This Matters

After 60, your body doesn't bounce back from irritation like it used to. That thin, delicate tissue can tear easier. Bad lubricants don't just cause discomfort; they increase your risk of infections and other problems.

The World Health Organization even put out a warning in 2012 saying most lubricants need to be reformulated because they're not safe enough.

Bottom Line

Check the label. If it doesn't list the pH and osmolality, call the manufacturer and ask. If they can't tell you, don't buy it.

Yeah, good lubricants cost more. But it's worth it.

Your wife will thank you. Trust me on this one.
