falling-in-love experts married
Having been married so many times, I know that one of the few things I am an expert in is falling in love.
clueless years facts
In fact, looking back, it seems to me that I was clueless until I was about 50-years-old.

divorce way
The divorce has lasted way longer than the marriage, but finally it's over.
want ifs women-want
If Sigmund Freud had watched Phil Donahue he would never have wondered what women want.
lasts meals hungry
Eat every meal as if it's your last; when the last one comes, you probably won't be very hungry.
