Dear Bubbi,

Every January, I make my New Year's resolutions (ex: lose weight) and by the end of the month, I've broken every one of them. Any advice on how to make them stick?

~Resolution Loser

Dear Resolution Loser,

Don't start until February! Just kidding! Here's my advice....You say you want to lose weight. Be realistic about your goals and if you slip up once in a while, don't throw in the towel. Same goes for the other things on your list. Just do your best and remember...there's always next year!

Dear Bubbi,

My husband and I are in our early 60's and we've been together since high-school. The problem is, he still acts like he's in high school. When we're in public, he is constantly grabbing me for a kiss. It gets embarrassing especially when our 2  grandchildren are with us. They always laugh at Grandpa and think he's so funny. How can I get it through to him that there's a time and a place for everything.

~Prudish Grandma

Dear Prudish Grandma,

Oy vey... Do I know women who would "give their right arm" to be in your shoes! With all due respect, if this is your biggest problem with your husband, you've got yourself a gem! Think of it this way...Those grandchildren are going to remember that their Grandpa was crazy about Grandma. My Grandfather did the exact same thing to my Grandmother. I'm glad he did because those are the memories that I cherish to this day!
