Dear Rick,
I love your blog. Your practical self-help answers are great because I get immediate results. Sure beats saying affirmations in front of the mirror for a year. I want to know how people get their photo or logo next to their name when they post a comment.
Thank You.

3. Regularly scan your hard drive for Malware with updated anti-malware software.
Here are the definitions you asked for:

I’m Afraid
Dear Rick,
I’m 49 and want to go back to school. I dropped out of college to have my first son and never went back. My two boys are grown and out of the house now. We can live off my husband’s salary. My husband is ok with me going back to school but I’m afraid I’ll make a fool of myself. I’m not as sharp as I was at 19 and I’m already having “senior moments”. What can I do?
Where Does Your Time Go?
As you walk out of the house for a trip to the store, you tell your spouse, “I’ll be back in an hour.” Two or three hours later you return.
Show Your Love
Dear Rick, How do I show “the love of my life”, my husband, how much he means to me?
Dear “Texas Gal”,
Hopefully the “love of your life” is not an idiot and can tell how important he is to you by all the things, big and small that you already do for him.
