This week on 40ish: Nicole is on a bikini rampage. Will she find the perfect two-piece, or is it time to just set the girls free and go full Euro-topless? Meanwhile, Lauren is locked in mortal combat with a new TV setup, and frankly, the HDMI cable might win. A listener wonders: is it weird to take your own pillow on holiday?  And another writes in about a full-grown mummy’s boy. We say: Oedipus, schmeedipus — as long as he’s not still breastfeeding, it’s fine. Join us for questionable wisdom, topless beach strategies, and midlife dilemmas we mostly make worse.
