We will also have a special attendee, my brother’s mother-in-law from South America coming in only on Saturday that weekend. How do I tell my niece the MIL is OK, but her boyfriend’s family cannot without hurting her feelings?
2. I’ve been married for 34 years. My husband has accused me of lying and cheating on him several times and being disrespectful to him. I have been disrespectful, but I’ve never cheated on him. What do you advise?

This Week at the Dive Bar*
* "Dive Bar" is like "Air Force One". If The Prince of Pittsburgh is there, it's the Dive Bar.
Our buddy, Jim from Grand Haven, Michigan, always picks great songs for our
Feel Good Song of the Day!
🎶I'm too sexy for my shirt -Too sexy for my shirt - So sexy it hurts!
And I'm too sexy for my hat - Too sexy for my hat - What do you think about that? 🎶
Go figure! The Prince of Pittsburgh gets a chance to put his arm around the delightful Hannah Mears, but the proud grandpap only has eyes for Little Forbes. Maybe The Prince is a trifle jealous because Hannah has his dream jobs - Pirates' Sideline Reporter and host of a successful podcast - "Beers with Mears". Good for you Hannah! You rock!
Johnny Pittsburgh posted this survey on his Facebook page. Since it featured a PDBT Living Legend, we were curious which one our fans would pick. What say you, Pgh Dive Bar Talk fans? What would you order?
The Superfans have challenged Tiny to his own games. Each week they play along on The Movie Game (5 points for the title, 1 point for the year it was released) and The Music Game (3 for the song title, 2 for the artist, 1 point for the release year). This week the standings in the Movie Game remain the same as last week. Yimmy, Columbo, and Paul G are leaving Tiny and the rest of the pack in their dust. Tiny was able to recognize the song in The Music Game but is so far behind everyone else that it may take a month of nothing but Metallica to get Tiny back in the game. Yimmy and Paul G are hot in both games. Columbo is a contender in The Movie Game. Although Three Pack isn't a threat in The Movie Game, he's the one to beat in The Music Game.

In his never-ending desire to serve you, his loyal subjects, the Prince of Pittsburgh has mounted a quest for the holy grail of dive bar sustenance - the perfect pizza. Henceforth, The Prince will eat as much pizza required to make a comprehensive evaluation of the pies offered by bars, restaurants, and parlors in the four-state area of his domain. Six attributes will be evaluated on a 1-10 scale for a possible perfect score of 60.
The Prince found another great pizza - this time in Cranberry Twp. A note from The Prince: "Sometimes it depends on what day or time you get the pizza. Earlier I gave Pizza Roma a 39. I had one last week that was a 45."

The Prince evaluated a pepperoni pie:
8 - Appearance
7 - Cheese
8 - Sauce
5 - Crust
10 - Topping Amount
8 - General Flavor
46 - Total Score
No guest this time - I consumed the whole pie!! Pizza was very good, but this is also a good overall Italian restaurant. You should probably order a dish unless you're on the run.
