Second Things Second...
It's time for another Reader Update!
On June 28th of this year, we received a letter from a young woman with a fiance on the fence. Their original wedding date had been postponed (thanks to him), and ever since then the topic of "marriage" had grown quite taboo between them. In fact, he went so far as to request she no longer bring it up!
Of course, our reader was responding with frustration. She said to Bubby, "He should not have proposed to me if he had no intentions of marrying me." She was starting to think she should move out of their shared apartment (which he did not want her to do), and was debating whether to call the whole relationship off for good. She confessed, "Why buy a cow when you have milk for free?"
So that's why she came to Bubby, of course. Who else is there to turn to but a 90-year old Jewish grandma with a blog when it comes to times like these?
And what do you think Bubby said? Stay the course? Try and you will succeed? Switch to soy milk?
No, of course not. Bubby wasted no time getting straight to the point: "I think that this guy likes getting his milk for nothing. I think that as long as he's getting what he wants, why should he take on the responsibility that something like that would really entail?"
Not one to mince her words, Bubby assured our reader, "I don't see any future with him. I think you should drop him.... There are plenty of fish in the sea."
Well, with all those fish swimming around, we were anxious to know how our reader was doing. And today we have our answer:
Dear Bubby,
It will interest you that I left my fiance few days after I got this advice from you because it was silly for me to stay with a man who is not willing to take a jump to a new journey together.
A few days ago, he came to me and told me that he was afraid of the future with divorce rates on the rise. Basically I told him that I am scared of marriage too, but it takes two of us to work it out together; he agreed with that comment. Also, I told him life is too short to hide in the closet being afraid until death.
The very next day, he approached me about wanting to marry me and set the date. I am happy to announce that we are going to get married on June 30, 2007. He is very excited about it and he wants to go ahead making plans for it.
*Winks*
Thanks Bubby!

We also got a nice letter this week about another Grandma who is livin' large online, and we thought we'd share her story with you:
My company is Called Grandma's Chicken Soup. We sell chicken soup, and "Bubby" is the face of the company. I hope that if anyone needs some healing for their soul, you would refer them to us at www.BubbysChickenSoup.com
Keep sending in your update stories! ♥, BUBBY
