Everybody gets the right to pick their phone up and send a quick text. Heres a question. Sometimes at dinner, people go, who was that guy in the movie, the guy who was married to the and someone says, oh, ill google it. Thats allowed. But only one google. Then everybody starts googling.

Talk to your son or daughter about opportunities in the army. All too often couples get into a rut when it comes to intimacy. And very quickly sex can fall to the bottom of the todo list as seen in the movie date night. No, no, no, you just put it in your mouth oh, oh. We could still fool around. Really . Only if youre into it. No, i would love to. Let me just get the yeah, okay, you know what, no . Im totally fine if we dont. How do you address your issues and reconnect with your partner . Dr. Lauren striker is the author of love, sex again. And hal runkle is a licensed marriage and family therapist and founder of the screamfree institute. Were not going into detail. Good to see you both. It is a problem for were living longer. Thats right. If were still in a marriage, all of a sudden youre celebrating your 70th wedding anniversary. For a lot of people, intimacy is something youre so busy that you dont even have time to take care of it. I think we have to recognize that theres a cycle of sex throughout our lives. And in your 20s, its all about sex all the time. And then in your 30s, its sex with a purpose because youre trying to make a baby. In the 40s, you see the bed and all you want to do is go to sleep. And then in your 50s, it gets interesting. Hopefully youre in that crowd that says, kids are gone, we used to like sex, lets reconnect. But all too often, thats not whats happening at all. And in your 60s, youre saying, did we ever have sex . Whats sex . Why did i make such a big deal about it . A lot of people wonder what is a healthy amount of sex to have in a long relationship. What do you think . Do the numbers show anything . Theres no magic number. You have to have enough that it doesnt get stale but you dont have so much that it gets predictable. Why do you think so many of these things are just appealing to so thousands and thousands of people because people a lot of times couples say they dont want sex. A lot of times what i experience is they just dont want sex with him or they dont want the type of sex theyve been having. They want something else. When we talk about sex, were not necessarily talking about intercourse. And older couples might be very sexual but they dont necessarily fall into the traditional definition of sex. There are all kinds of intimacy. There are. We wondered how often are people having sex. Because thats what we care about. This was the percentages, 6 said every day. What . Theyre lying. 25 said three to five times per week. 52 said one to times on a good week. And 17 who say they cant remember the last time its how you define sex. Are we being sexual . If im not being sexual with me wife every day, i think im failing as a husband. That doesnt mean were actually having intercourse but it means im going to put the fact that were a romantic connection first. We can be lovers and best friends but only in the order of that priority. People confuse love with sex. And you have to look at the age, if you poll a bunch of 20yearolds, thats going to be very different than if you interview thats 60. The purpose of sex, of course, is reproduction and were not reproducing in the 50s and 60s. If people are watching and are concerned, we always say the same things, have a date night. That doesnt help. Its the idea that it doesnt help to take a bubble bath and have date night if when you do try and have sex, it feels like youre having sand paper in your vagina. Oh, that was unfortunate. We were doing really well till then. Karen from baltimore is across the street with a question. Help us, karen. Hi, im karen from baltimore, maryland.

But now that theyre watching lock the door. Get rid of them. But part of it also is the insomnia issue when somebody this busy is operating on two minutes of sleep.

The first is amanda. She says she loves her home and having friends over, but, cant stand the view from the back deck. The neighbors keep anything and everything in their backyard. They only mow small patches of grass and their yard looks like a landfill. Its an eyesore and embarrassing. Shes wondering if she should complain or put up a fence . Fences can add up. But good fences do make good neighbors. I say talk to them. Maybe they havent had the conversation. A lot of people suffer these things and never deal with the neighbor. Sounds like theyre very different kinds of people. I couldnt live with a backyard like that for five seconds if i wasnt under construction. Other people seem to do fine. I would be okay with it. If people are fundamentally different, sounds like the fence might be the only answer. You are right. The fence may be the only answer. Give it a try. They may not be up to your standards, as you say. Not my standards. Everybodys got if youre looking for the gardens of versailles, good luck.

She tells us her neighbors kids are constantly climbing and jumping her fence and they dont want to listen when she asks them to stop. How should we handle this when we have no support from the kids parents . Are thorn bushes or thorny ivy a good option . Oh, gosh. Sick that would work. That would do it. What do you think . You know, you verge on the mr. Wilson, remember mr. Wilson from dennis the menace . You dont want to be that. Maybe these kids are worse than that. If thats the case, talk to the parents. Call the police, tase them. Have that conversation. Hope it doesnt come to that. An inside joke here. If the parents arent responsive, what do yo do . I say to the parents, this is an insurance risk. I dont want your children to get hurt. Not in my yard. You are not saying im concerned about the rose bushes, its your children. That way you look like the good guy. If thats not happening, the thorns are not going to help. The kids will find a way up the fence. They are going to go up your driveway if they are that determined. Focus on the parents. Okay, we have a question from across the street. I thought this said, or Call Child Protective Services if you thought the child was in trouble. We are going way over. Hey, thats not for you to decide. That was in the notes. You are very thorough, kathie lee. Call Child Protective Services . If you think the parents are being neglectful to the point its criminal, yes. I guess you know who reads the notes and who doesnt now.

My question is, what do you do when your new neighbor lets their two little dogs poop on your lawn and then doesnt clean it up . Last segment, we talked about the dogs peeing in the yard. This is worse than that. Talk to them. This is a new neighbor. Maybe this is the first time they are living in the suburbs. Have the conversation. If thats not working, you get into a situation where you have to approach the local authorities. This is trespassing. The dog may be doing their thing. Getting used to the neighborhood.

Thats our next segment. Talk to us about this. If you get a hole in your screen. Exactly. It happens all the time. This is the after of what it would like like of a patch. Say somebody comes by and puts a hole in the screen like that. Or the kids poke their hand through. Instead of replacing the whole screen, which is 50, 60, 70, depending on who does it. And where you live. Right, what zip code you live in. Why not just repair it yourself . They sell these little patches here that are prefolded at angles. All you have to do is peel off some of the grain going both ways doesnt look like its hard to do that. At not all. And then you plug it into the the screen itself. The point is to find one that matches your they sell them in all different colors. This is a darker color. It doesnt really show up on camera. One matches, right . No. We dont have one that matches. Get out of here. Its not about the Color Palette its about repairing the hole. It is for her. Next, this is a question for you. Paulette has a question for you. My friend is redecorating and offered me her beautiful dark furniture. One of the sofas had scratches from her dogs. How do i repair or disguise the scratches . She put them on there and blames it on the dogs. Shes scratching her own furniture. With leather, if you scratch it, you can see the color discoloration. If dogs get to it and its frayed, take a hair trimmer and shave off the excess. Stop it thats what you read when you see a scratched piece of leather, that fraying occurs. After you shave that off a couple of times, this product here is great. Maguires makes one, spray it on the scratch, rub it in like that. Let it soak in for a couple minutes. We dont have time right now. We have to take your word for it . No, im going to wipe it. It looks way better. How long should you leave it on there, big strapping guy . About 15 minutes. The color unifies and it looks much better. You could use other stuff, too, if you have olive oil, baby oil. All oils work. This one i love. It works the best. An email from maureen. What would i use to fill cement cracks in a sidewalk i told you not to use that word do me a favor and stir this while were talking, just like cake batter. Use cement. This is a cement patch. If you have a crack in the front of the house in a concrete slab and its not structural you can repair these little hairline cracks. Check to see if its structural first. Wet the cement with a sponge like that. It will make the cement bond much better, more effectively. Go ahead and put it right on that crack just like that. This is kind of fun, actually. Just do it in an area she loves this. I love this stuff. You can clearly make cake batter. This is what my dermatologist does for my face. I like it. Its fun. You get great results. Yeah. Then you take it off like that, right . I like that. Use the metal edge. Go back and take that sponge, wipe off the excess. Look at that, hody. Look at that. That looks awesome. Crack be gone.

Psychologist dale atkins and life coach laura postada are here to answer questions about getting your life on the right track. We love you ladies. Shall we get started . 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 that 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. But dont hurt his feelings. Yeah. 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 you had this whole work life. Lets think about the things you like to do now that dont involve me and lets plan that together. He needs to feel hes still a part of your life but you also need time on your own. And make dates. They can make dates. She is going to feel guilty. But thats okay. You can feel guilty. A little guilt never hurt anybody. I like guilt. Im really fond of shame. Heres a question from jocelyn. Im definitely feeling stuck in my life. Im unmotivated about my job. Im a mom and juggling responsibility, ignoring my own needs and i end up frustrated. A lot of people feel that way. Youre unhappy and your whole family is unhappy. This is a tag from the other one. Shes 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 prevent 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 you cant do everything right. Figure out what you have to do first, get that out of the way. And that will give you free time to do all the other things you have to do. If you are frustrated in your job and unmotivated, someone once said, 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. The next is from angie. Im 32 years old and single. I work full time, all my friends and family are married and or having kids. I am trying to meet guys, but im introverted. Do you have ideas for her . Yeah, she should find groups of things she likes to do. What is fun for you . Are you in a church group, do you like going to the gym, do you like spinning classes, yoga . Zumba. Right, start shaking it. She is introverted. One of the things we have to Pay Attention to is when someone is introverted, going into a group is a horrible thing. And a lot of people who give advice about what to do are extroverts and dont 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. Go with a friend. Understand there are limits. You can meet people doing anything as long as your best self 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 . How to deal with insect bites and other outdoor problems. First, this is today on nbc. As we spend more Time Outdoors enjoying the weather, long walks and backyard grilling, we have to deal with the pesky insects and 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. Awful stuff. A lot of us have it in our gardens and we have pets and they brush up against it and brush up against us if its in their dander, its easy to spread, isnt it . Absolutely. What should you do if you come in contact with it . The toxin that is on the plant leaf is not water soluble. You cant rinse it off with water. You need to use some type of rubbing alcohol or strong soap to get it off. Say i have it on my clothes, if i hug you, i can spread it to you. So make sure that 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. Right, absolutely. So theres a little joke, everyone says leaves of three you want to stay away. That is absolutely true. If you see a leaf that has three clovers or anything, stay away. Mosquito bites is another one. When you get bitten, i say i have a mosquito bite but i dont know could have been a spider, could have been a bee. True, true. A lot of us, in this area, we are getting mosquito bites. They just sprayed for them. They are pesky. Most of us arent going to get west nile from them. But some of us can be really allergic to them. I have strong reactions to them. They are attracted to dark clothing, alcohol, perfume, sweat, pregnant women. Now we know why. They love oh, really, pregnant women . Different blood types. The important thing to do is treat the itchy symptoms. You have an antihistamine to use at home, you can do that. If you had generalized symptoms like a fever or rash that started, you want to 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. And bee stings, that can be different and scarier. A lot of people are highly allergic to them. And they get anaphylaxis thats what i had. You get everything. It was hideous. It may be a bee sting, but maybe not, a wasp or yellow jacket. It could be something else. 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 stinger. Theres a venom sack attached to that stinger and you can keep injecting venom into your skin. What do you do . Use a credit card or your fingernail with a straight end to scratch it off. Weird. Take a credit card with you. We do that i never leave it at home. Spiders, how do you know if you have been bitten by one . Sometimes you might not know until a couple hours later. A couple spiders you need to watch out for. If you live in the midwest, you want to look out for the black widow. Everyones heard about it, but may not know what it looks like. Interestingly, its got this little shape on its body like an hourglass. And the red spot. If you get bit, what do you do . It will look like fangs. You may not know you were bitten. You may not have symptoms until 15 minutes or an hour later. You can have nausea, vomiting and even seizures. If you have those symptoms, see a doctor. You could die from one, cant you, if you are that allergic to them . Usually black widows arent as severe as the brown recluse. If you get bitten by one of those, go to an emergency room. Thank you. Have an awesome day. Im here to help. You and i will get through this together. [applause] [applause]
