The February Edition. Love. Lust. Legos.

We're back from a summer of kids, dogs, houses and husbands. And we're talkin' politics, specifically why a certain governor from Alaska gets our goat (or caribou.)

My Space? Facebook? Blogs? We put all our most intimate details out into cyberspace for anyone and everyone to see. What's up with that? Carolyn's tales from the frontlines of substitute teaching. And, tit for tatt.

Join us as we discuss the sexual frustration of Mary Todd Lincoln, the FIRST first lady, and discuss an article titled "What's Wrong with Staying Single?" Along the way, we'll veer into such topics as: Abe Lincoln, gay or not?; fear of sex; why john's of the Wild West married prostitutes; why society views singles more negatively than marrieds; and a reminder to married listeners on how to set up your household to ensure you have more sex.

Are you thinking, Enough already with the Presidential Elections?! Now hang on just a gol-darn minute -- SMWD needs to take on the candidates first! Here we go, putting on our pundit caps...just 10 months to go....

Kit, Carolyn and Mel discuss the politics of going gray, a new relationship category and ask the question: How do you know when you are happy?

GOOD VIBRATIONS The shocking history of vibrators -- from appliance manufacturer Hamilton Beach, to nun movies, to Mrs. Vic Tanny. This week, "Single Married Widowed Divorced" discusses Slate.com's October sex issue. (Pssst.....in 1927, there were more vibrators than toasters in America!)

Wait a minute. Can anyone ever be "just" married? We don't think so. Being married takes too much work to be just married. That's like saying "I'm only married." Doesn't really roll off the tongue. This month there's a lot of advice that's handed out about maids of honor, gifts, fighting and finding time for s-e-x when there's a house full of teenagers who never seem to go to bed or get off the sofa.

Can you sell sex toys and still be a good Catholic? Is it okay to start dating again if your spouse has Alzheimer's? And what's the best tool for urban gardening -- a hoe or a syringe?
