We are going to start celebrating up to your 50th birthday. We have a beautiful lady that just had a birthday yesterday. Happy birthday to jaime. They are getting married. July 4th. Yes, people are watching the show. Here is the drill. When you have your phone at dinner and you are out, people have different rules of phone etiquette. It seems rude, but its taking over our culture t. Wall street journal has the new rules for phones at the table. Here we go. If a phone is on the dinner table, it must be face down. No checking your phone under the table. Hey, kath, what . Shes good at that. Here is the thing, if you are not allowed to look at the phone why should it be allowed on the table . Now we are going to tell you. If they need to send an emergency text or email, everyone else can, too. Oh my god, i forgot to text my baby sitter. Then everyone can pick up their phone and send a quick one. Who was the guy in the movie, google it. I think that should be allowed. Only one googling. Everyone starts goggling and everything starts. Only parents whose small children are at home with them, with baby sitters and such are allowed to keep smartphones face up. If the sitter calls, everybody is allowed to look at their phone for three minutes. I think its too long. Not three minutes, its a minute. Rules do not apply to lunch. You changed me on lunch. I used to not eat lunch. I would eat on the go. I love lunch. We have threehour lunches. You are so tired you want to go to bed. Anyway. Are you records making a comeback . No. This is cool. Here is the thing. You played vinyl records. I played them, then i made them. And sold them. No, they are still in my garage. Jack white from the white stripe, you know who he is, released a solo album on vinyl and sales have soared. You would think people dont have record players. They sold owe 138,000 copies. Thats the biggest vinyl release since 1991. Have they been making them all along . No, they havent. One lonely guy is saying yeah, they did. He probably has all of them. This is when i was making them hoda. When . Back in the stone age. Oh. Off the record, barney. Right. Who is that swinging down the street . That was awesome. That was me recording. We had a duet out. I have james taylor from sweet baby james. I have seen fire and i have seen rain beautiful and care kings tapestry. Nothing like the sound of putting the needing down. When your parents got the automatic one and it just plopped down. Magic. One thing my brother and i used to do. We each had one lp, i had love will keep us together. That was my favorite. So good. And my brother had philadelphia freedom. We take the record player outside with an extension cord. There was a box over us, we got in the box and on top it read which song would you like to hear . Put 25 cents in and say outloud philadelphia freedom or love will keep us together. We were in the jute box and i would play it. It was so exciting. I still remember it. We got quarters that came in. This is the best thing we ever did. How much did you make, 1. 50 . It was the thrill of waiting for someone to walk by. Wow, what a childhood you had. Time for try day friday. I love it. Bob was in trouble. Oh, yeah. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was really, really angry. She told him, tomorrow morning, i expect to find a gift in the drive way that goes from zero to 200 in six seconds and it better be there. The next morning he got up for work. When she woke up, she looked out the window and sure enough, there was a box gift wrapped in the middle of the driveway. Confused she went outside brought it in the house. She opened it and found a brandnew bathroom scale. Bobs been missing since friday. I love it. I like that one. Are we going to try our try day . We do, we do. This is exciting. There is a wine case, yes, it holds wine and they say it can with stand, if you drop it, drop the bottom of wine, we dont, but others do. They say it can with stand dropping a bowling ball. We dont know if it works. We are going to take some baseball bats to the wine bottle. I hope its not your wine. Dont say my wine. You are supposed to say my stuff. Careful. Wait, let me try one. That cant be true. Ooh. Mine doesnt have a cork. Lets look at it. Did it break . What if it all gushes out . How do you open it . Just pull it out. Oh, my gosh. Wow wow im taking this home. Thank you very much. That was awesome, good to know if you ever want to beat up your wine that its not going to break. These are great. By the way, that thing is 50 bucks if you are interested.

All too often couples get into a rut when it comes to intimacy. Sex can fall to the bottom of the todo list as seen in date night. No, no, no, you put in your mouth guard. That usually means no, we can still fool around. Only if you are into it. I would love to. Let me get okay, you know what . No. Honey, im totally fine if we dont. How do you address your issues to reconnect with your partner . Dr. Lauren is author of love, sex again. And a licensed therapist and founder of screen free institute. Well let that one alone. Good to see you both. It is a problem. We are living longer. Thats right. If we are still in a marriage, all of a sudden, you are celebrating your 70th wedding anniversary. Intimacy is something you are so busy you dont have time to take care of it. We have to recognize theres a cycle throughout our lives. In your 20s, its all about sex all the time. In your 30s, its sex with a purpose because you are trying to make a baby. In your 40s, you see the bed and want to go to sleep. In your 50s, it gets interesting. Hopefully you are in the crowd that says kiss is gone, we used to like sex, lets reconnect. All too often, it doesnt happen. In your 60s, you say did we ever have sex . A lot of people wonder what is a healthy amount of sex to have in a long relationship, what do you think the numbers show anything . Theres no magic number. You have to have enough that it doesnt get stale but not so that it gets predictable. Appealing to thousands and thousands of people. People a lot of times people get in a rut where they dont want sex. You talk about biological issues where women dont want sex. A lot of times, they just dont want sex with him or the type of sex they have been having. They want something else. We talk about sex we are not talking intercourse. With older couples, they might be very sexual, but dont fall into the traditional definition. Interesting. Its a different kind of intimacy. We wondered how often people are having sex. Thats what we care about. 6 said every day. What . They are lying. 25 said three to five times per week. 52 said one to two times on a good week. And 17 said who can remember the last time . Its how you define sex. Are we being sexual . If im not sexual with her every day, im failing as a husband. It dunlt mean intercourse. We have a romantic connection first. We can be lovers and best friends, but only in that order. People confuse love with sex. You have to look at the age. Thats so important. If you call a bunch of 20yearolds, its different than 50 and 60. The purpose of sex is reproduction and we are not reproducing in the 50s and 60s so the libido does slow down. Have a date night, do x and y. Thats why i wrote love sex again. It didnt help to take a bubble bath and have date night if when you do try to have sex, it feels like sandpaper in your vagina. That is unfortunate. We were doing well until then. Karen from baltimore is across the street with a question. Help us. Im karen from baltimore, maryland. Im a Police Officer and i work midnights. When i get home, we have seven children. I was wondering how to have intimate time during the craziness and scheduling with the children. Shes had enough. Come on. Oh, honey. She wants to have more intimacy in her life. Any advice . You have to make it a priority. When . You know what also, ill say we need an s. O. S. , a scheduled orgasm session. A lot going on here. A lot happening here. Have the kids figured out what that means . I hope not. Lock the door. Get rid of them. Part of it is the insomnia issue with someone this busy and operating on two minutes of sleep. If you get time off, you want to sleep. Its such an important point people dont address. We hope you have learned something to apply to your personal life. Thank you guys. Thanks, guys. Does your motorcycling neighbor think hes the leader of the pack .

Have you ever felt overwhelmed and stressed out about life and arent sure how to take that step forward . We have a life coach here with answers to questions about getting your life on track. We love you ladies. Shall we get start snd we have a young woman across the street with a question. Hi, this is kathy from long island. My question is this, my husband works my husband is retired and i work full time. He would like to spend all our free time together, which is a good thing. But, sometimes i need time for myself. How do i make time for me without hurting him and or feeling guilty . She wants me time. Your husband retired young. I can definitely relate to this one. My husband retired and all of a sudden, he has free time. My advice to her is, definitely sit down and have a conversation with him. Tell him you really love and appreciate he wants to spend all his time with you, but you need to have some free time to work and also to relax. So, just be honest, have a conversation with him. Dont hurt his feelings. You think thats the best way to go . Its a great way to go. You have to acknowledge your life changed so dramatically because you were going to work every day and had this work life. Lets think about the things you like to do that dont involve me and plan that together. He needs to feel hes still a part of your life but you also need time on your own. Make dates. They can make dates. She is going to feel guilty. Thats okay. You can feel guilty. A little guilt never hurt anybody. I like guilt. Im really fond of shame. Here is a question, im feeling stuck in my life. Im unmote vaited about my job. Im a mom and juggling responsibility, ignoring my own needs and i end up frustrated. And your whole family is unhappy. This is a tag from the other one. Shees not taking care of herself. Take care of yourself and keep shes juggling a lot of balls. The one that has to stay there will present her from becoming resentful and frustrated and take it out on everyone else. So many people rely on you. You do one thing at a time. What were you going to say . Do one thing at a time, set your priorities. Maybe you are trying to do all these things and cant do one thing right. Figure out what you have to do first, then it will give you free time. If you are frustrated in your job, find something you want to do, dedicate 10 of your time and 10 of your money toward that other thing so you dont feel frustrated. Its a great suggestion. This woman is looking for a job and looking to improve her life because she wants to go to school. Thats a positive action. She needs to remember that positive place she wants to be. We have time for a quick one. Angie is 32 and single. I work full time, all my friends and family are married and have kids. I am trying to meet guys but im spro verted. Find groups of things you like to do. What is fun for you . Are you in a church group, spinning classes. Zumba. Right, start shaking it. She is introverted. When someone is introverted, going into a group is a horrible thing. So, a lot of people who give advice about what to do are extroverts and doesnt understand. I like to suggest to people do it in a small amount of time, then relax. You have to recharge your batteries when its hard for you to do that. Go with a friend. Understand there are limits. You can meet people doing anything as long as your best belt is what you put out there. If you have an open mind and smile. Thank you, ladies, we appreciate it. Cute. Adorable. Whats bugging you . Insect bites and other outdoor problems. First, this is today on nbc. We spend more Time Outdoors and enjoying the weather, long walks and grilling, we have to deal with the bug bites. Here with what you need to know is dr. V. Thats what i call her. We do. Lets start with the stuff out there in the wilderness. Poison ivy and poison oak. Aufg stuff. We have it in our garden, we have pets that brush up against it. If its in their dander, its easy to spread, isnt it . The toxin that is on the plant leaf is not water soluble. You cant rinse it off with water. Use rubbing alcohol or soap to get it off. Say i have it on my clothes, if i hug you, i can spread it to you. Take your clothes off, you are using a strong astringent to get it off. You have to be able to identify it to know what it is. Theres a joke, everyone says leaves of three stay away. That is absolutely true. If you see a leaf that has three clovers or anything, stay away. Mosquitoe bites is another one. When you get bitten, i say i have a mosquitoe bite but i dont know. A lot of us, in this area, we are getting mosquitoe bites. They just sprayed for them. They are pesky. Most of us arent going to get west nile from them. I have strong reactions to them. They are attracted to dark clothing, alcohol, perfume, sweat, pregnant women. They love really, pregnant women . Different blood types. The important thing to do is treat the itchy symptoms. If you have a fever or rash that started, see a doctor about it. You know, speaking of that, remember last year i didnt see a doctor for the longest time because i had a bee sting. Within a couple days, i looked like i had elephantitis. A lot of people are highly allergic to them. Thats what i had. You get everything. It was hideous. It may be a bee sting, but maybe not, a wasp or yellow jacket. If you have swelling like that, you need to see someone right away. For most of us, if you get a bee sting, what you should do, this is interesting. Dont use tweezers to pick off the tweezer. Theres a venom sack and you can keep injecting venom in your skin. Use a credit card or your fingernail with a straight end to scratch it off. I never leave it at home. Spiders, how do you know if you have been bitten by one . You may not know until a couple hours later. A couple spiders you need to watch out for. In the midwest, look out for the black widow. Everyones heard about it, but may not know what it looks like. Is got like an hourglass. And the red spot. If you get bit, what do you do . It will look like fangs. You may not have symptoms until 15 minutes or an hour later. If you have those symptoms, see a doctor. You could die from one, cant you, if you are that allergic to them . Black widows arent as severe. A brown recluse, if you get bitten, go to an emergency room. Thank you. We have a big week next week. Valerie bertinelli, jason priestley. Olivia. Unbelievable. Have a great weekend. See you monday. A steve harvey event. First, were helping this husband say i love you. I just really want to hear those words. And now the world knows, too. Then you will have the man cave of your dreams. Hello custom man cave. Its an hour full of the unexpected. Im here to help. You and i will get through this together
