Dear Bubbi,

My ex husband is driving me crazy. We divorced three years ago after he told me that he wasn't in love with me anymore. Everything was fine until about 2 months ago when he decided that the divorce was a big mistake. We're both in our late 20's (no kids involved). I've moved on with my life and have no desire to reconnect with him. Any suggestions on how to make him go away.

Dear Annoyed In Miami,

Your ex husband sounds like he's taking a long walk down memory lane and can't snap out of it. How sad that he realized after you were gone that the grass is not always greener on the other side...Nu? (touch of sarcasm) If you've made this very clear and he still won't give up pursuing you, it might help to have a mutual friend talk to him. If that isn't possible, perhaps one of your family (do you have a big brother?) should give him a call. He needs someone to spell it out for him.. E-x- w-i-f-e- h-a-s- m-o-v-e-d- o-n.

Dear Bubbi,

I want to get a tattoo but my Mother is totally against the idea. I'm 21 and don't need her permission but she and I are very close and I do care what she thinks.

p.s She didn't say a word when my brother got 2 of them!

~Just A Tattoo

Dear Just A Tattoo,

First thing that comes to mind is...What size tattoo are we talking about? I worry about the young girls who tattoo on certain areas of their bodies not realizing that years from now (as gravity pulls everything south) those tattoos may not be quite so adorable. If you don't want your Mother to k'vetch (gripe) go over all the details with her so she knows what to expect. As far as your brother is concerned...Years ago, it was more common to see men with tattoos. It was more of a macho thing, not a form of artistic expression like it is today.
