Dear Winifred; Nov. 9

Advice (NOT good!) column!

     "Dear Winifred, maybe you can help solve a family disagreement;  I'm 35 and I recently had to move back home, and I feel like I've lost some of my independence.  I feel like what I want doesn't matter anymore.  I  realize that living with others, I need to make some compromises but I feel like my vote doesn't count.  My father works all day and when he comes home, he insists on turning the channel to The Nightly Stock Report, without exception.  I feel he could ask me if I'm watching something else first.  I realize it's a trivial thing, but to me, it is representative of my overall mindset.  Maybe I'm wrong in my thinking; I'd love to know what you think.  Signed T.V. Interruptous."

 

 

     "Dear T.V. Interruptous, the answer to your being a spoiled, selfish b*****d is found in the line, "...my father works all day,..."  Hello?  What part of "It's my house, and my T.V." don't you understand?  So, you feel you've lost some 'independence'; yeah?  Cry me a river!  It seems to me that your damn lucky to be able to move back home, although 35?  It sounds to me like you've pitched your 'loser' tent, and are settled in for a long campout, at your parents expense.  Just for fun, put yourself in their place; but you sound much too selfish to be able to do that, so never mind.  I was going to say they're living their lives, thinking they're finally free of your lazy a*s, but 'nope', think again!  Maybe if you'd get off their couch, where your a*s is apparently fused with the material, and get a job, so you could oh, I don't know, move out again?  Winifred."

I have to agree with Winifred on this...when you lose your independence you lose control over the remote...

Ha; yep, there's NOTHING as important!
