Dear Winifred

An advice column!

Warning; advice given is NOT politically correct!

     "Dear Winifred, I have a problem I need your advice on; recently, my father-in-law lost his job at an automobile plant, and now my husband has asked me if my father-in-law can move into our spare bedroom in order to save money.  I'm worried that having him living here will be awkward, and put unbearable strain on our relationship.  I feel for him, and realize how upsetting this must be for my father-in-law, but I'm feeling put-upon, and stuck in the middle.  What should I say?  Signed, In a Quandary."

 

     "Dear In a Quandary, you sound like a cold one.  I mean, good lord, the man just lost the one thing that made him feel like a man, and here you are, selfishly worried about it affecting you negatively.  Unless he walks around with his spud hanging out, and losing his job has made that highly unlikely, you need to quit worrying about yourself, and put yourself in his place.  I mean, it's obvious you need professional help for so many things, chief among them the selfish crap, that I suggest you find counseling, and quit crying to me, an adviser in a newspaper column, and quit whining!  Winifred."

I'm glad you find this funny and not offensive. I've already lost one loyal reader on another writing site. I guess on one of these, not this one, I must have pushed it a little too far. Some of these are based loosely on my beliefs, and some I was just trying to be funny. She was a loyal reader of Dear Winifred, but I haven't heard from her in two weeks. Before that, she always commented, and I post these most days; oh well!

I've never written to an advice column. But if I did It would certainly not be to this one.

Dear Marie; probably a good idea!
