I don't have advice as far as the gossip, but if you do listen, I want to read the potboiler novel also!!
My strongest advice is that you need to get checked for STDs. ALL of them. You could have one for years and not knowit. Many men get them and have no idea because they don't get sores or whatever as often now. The STD's have changed in what obvious symptoms they have.
Part of taking care of Karen is medical care. We want you around for a LOONNGG time with us!
