Some marginal advice on selling eggs, hot sauce in the condom and being the other woman.
You know how giving advice is really easy? But taking advice and faithfully abiding by it's hard? That's why I prefer giving it. Every few weeks I scour the online advice columns and rebut the advice they give. It's good for everyone because dissenting opinion is what makes democracy great.
One of my all-time favorite advice givers is the Seattle Post-Intelligencer's Carolyn Hax. She's way more on the Oprah side of things than the goll-dern Dr. Phil side. This time around the other woman wants to know if she should wait for dude to leave … Read More
Relationship advice isn't easy and sometimes the pros mess up.
There is a boatload of people giving advice on the interweb these days. Some of them are doctors. Some of them are the offspring of advice royalty.

Note to reader, I'm of the do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do school and think Gang Starr said it well, "It's often easier for one, to give advice. Than it is for a person to run one's own life. That's why I can't be caught up in all the hype." And that's what I like about it, it's easy. So, here goes:
Carolyn Hax, syndicated columnist, typically rocks some pretty solid advice. But last Friday's run … Read More
If you suspect there's someone better, but love the one you're with, should you end it?
Yesterday Salon's advice columnist answered a question from a woman in her mid-twenties who was wondering if she should marry her boyfriend of three years or break up with him because she thinks he might not be the right person for her. He's a "great guy," and they love each other but she's worried that differences in sex preferences, emotional needs and personality might mean they're not right for each other.
Marriage feels somewhat imminent, but looking at it right now, I don't think I would say yes… I look at my parents, who embody passionate, romantic love…it's … Read More
