For What It’s Worth by Dr. Melfi , Ph.D.

Remember the days of middle school and high school, where you might have one or two “best” girlfriends but have other girlfriend acquaintances, who on face value, you might pretend to be friends with, but secretly didn’t entrust them with your secrets, and certainly not with your boyfriends when you weren’t looking? Well, that was then. Now, married or single, divorced or widowed, I’m about to tell you something that you may not know. A group of girlfriends at any age over sixty is a great thing to have! Getting together with women of a certain age, and a bottle or two of wine, is a sure winner of an evening. It may start out fun-ish, but a er an hour or so, every topic on the planet is discussed, and of course, it always comes down to gossip, and stories, made up or true, about men and you know, sex! ings you wouldn’t tell anyone all of a sudden seem fair game, especially interwoven with the side-splitting laughter that permeates the room. is of course, is toned down if you’re meeting the girls at a restaurant, but at someone’s home, then the gloves are o ! Who knew that having women girlfriends could be so freeing? It kind of reminds me of the movie “First Wives Club” except, for the most part, no one, at least not so far, was plotting against a former spouse.

I didn’t actually know I could be friends with women of all ages and backgrounds. Usually, we didn’t hang around in packs, but I have to tell you, if you’ve never done it, get a group of six or more women together and try it yourself, and the wine doesn’t hurt to loosen tongues. I think you’ll be surprised how enjoyable it is to laugh it up, without reservation, and without censorship. Among the women who invited me out last week, two were married, two were recently widowed, and one was single. On paper, that doesn’t sound the least bit interesting or cohesive, but in less than an hour, we acted as if we’ve known each other for years. In fact, I would even consider going on a trip with these women, or at least, to a casino. Now you might wonder why I’m going on and on about this, but then again, you’d have to understand that where I came from, women were uptight and territorial. ey certainly had better things to do than waste an evening with mindless hilarity, but now that I’ve experienced this, I have to say, they don’t know what they’re missing. When there are no men involved, when women aren’t worried about how they look, or what they say, when they aren’t being irty, or worried about their conversational skills, censoring what they say because there is a man in the room, then they let loose and say whatever is on their minds, and honestly, it is an uncensored comedy show.

For What it’s Worth, if

you don’t have girlfriends who laugh and let it all hang out, nd some. In the end, when all the men leave us, and of course, I jest, (maybe), you can always count on a girlfriend to get you through.
