After years of talking with others whose primary or seccondary relationships are failing, I have learned the basic mistakes that you can learn and avoid. Come and laugh with me at some true-crime--well, not really crime in the crimal sense--habits that have not worked for others and don't stand a snowball's chance in H--- of working for you! Any resemblance between your friends and those described in this book is entirely intentional--in fact, if none of the anecdotes sound familiar, you are either a Vampire or an Alien, or both!

Old-House Journal is the original magazine devoted to restoring and preserving old houses. For more than 35 years, our mission has been to help old-house owners repair, restore, update, and decorate buildings of every age and architectural style. Each issue explores hands-on restoration techniques, practical architectural guidelines, historical overviews, and homeowner stories--all in a trusted, authoritative voice.
