Dear Uncle Mike, Here's a question for you. How do you stop falling in love with the wrong woman? Over and over again. I always start out thinking this is the one I've been waiting for. I always end up dealing with somebody I only thought I knew who has habits that drive me crazy or gross me out. Is there part of this I'm not getting? I know the kind of woman I want. Why cant they be what they seem? Maybe it's me. But if love is blind, how do people stay together? <r i\ .i Sometimes A Great Lotion E l it a B rano C otton B raì am ) P anitij L lN C t W t A N O J L U P V L A R W IT H A N IM P H A J IJ O N C O T T O N 2.7 J Q N T J O f PI M U M AM) JLI O IL A N O C U J T O M J C tN T ID M A J J A G L O K .
