...mess. You have a poor relationship with your father and, like most child actors, you probably grew up a little too fast. The album’s first single, “Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father),” expresses a sadness absent from “Speak,” Lohan’s debut. Maybe Lindsay finally got the memo: she may not be an above-average singer, but she’s an actress with a pretty solid track record. That said, her overblown histrionics don’t quite work in stereo...
...advances. Pause the film; discuss how she deserves her loneliness after pulling that football shit so many times with Charlie. Two shots if an image of Schroeder and Lucy hooking up crosses your mind. 4. Every time Schroeder’s piano produces the sound of some absent instrument. Four shots if it sounds like a full jazz quartet. 5. Every time someone makes fun of Pigpen’s appearance; ponder why they keep picking on the kid that can’t afford soap. 6.

The most likely source of the video’s mediocrity...
...love may not be able to pull up a chair at the table this year--or maybe ever. Others are only partially present. "Ambiguous loss" is the term coined by family therapist Pauline Boss of the University of Minnesota to describe the problem of having a loved one absent but not clearly dead--missing in war or a natural disaster--or only a limited presence because of Alzheimer's or an emotional issue. In an interview with TIME, Boss, whose new book for therapists, Loss, Trauma, and Resilience, is due in 2006, offers ways to find strength and hope...
