I give out the most logical answers to those who seek answers to their question. I give my e-mail, AIM sn and ICQ # for those who have questions they'd rather not share with everyone who looks at this site. I also enjoy joking around. I feel if a situation is dire, a little humour is medicinal. Even if you're stuck in a serious dilemma, a little laugh to take your mind off is good for you. Enjoy my humour.

P.S.- I may not have a favourite category, but certain questions I will not get involved in due to stupidity, or the fact that some would not like my answers because I say what is moral and right, not what society views as okay.
P.P.S.- I would like some non-relationship questions to come my way, I do welcome them, but a little change would be nice. No one hold back a question, but anyone with a non-love-life question please send it to me. I mean, I know I'm not really a gardener or musician or etc., but anything'll do.

Aha, so you were trying to help people? (There, this way it really is a question! ^_^) That's cool! I had just been wondering, and after reading some others you've given advice to, I must say, you give great advice! ^_^ (link)
Okay. I guess. I tend to let compliments slide off me. It's nice to know I'm not doing anything wrong, but I enjoy criticism as well, it makes me understand what I'm doing wrong. So never hold back on any criticisms, that goes to everyone. I'd like to get everyone's opinon.


sorry about the grammar and spelling's mistake's but i did write this question at a very late our of midnight and also very tired and had soooooooo muccch wrk to do! (link)
Not a problem at all, man. I just wanted other people to know they can't really expect to get advice if no one knows what they wrote. Yours isn't the worst I've seen, sadly. I'm still unsure what your question was though...


im always expecting the guy to stay with me for a long time. i want a long time relationship...im only 13. im homeschooled so i cant date a bunch of guys. theres hardly anyone my age around my house and if there is they are all drug and/or sex addicts! i hate this! i need to be more...kidish. i flirt alot but it doesnt seem to help. what should i do? (link)
Answer: don't be kiddish. It is more logical to wait until you meet someone who doesn't suck so you can build a long lasting relationship. Do you really want to date these drug and/or sex addicts? I'm very near asking you where they live so I can kick their ***es. It will be much more rewarding to aim for a long lasting relationship. It is unfortunate that so few your age can be mature, but I feel the same way. I refused to date many girls because I knew the relationship wouldn't last very long. It's one thing to hate the guys aorund you being total morons, it is another to hate being a logical person. Trust me on this one, from experience I can tell you staying mature will greatly benefit you, and trying to be 'kidish' will hurt you. And I don't like that term either. 'Kidish' is fine, but it doesn't mean what you'd have it mean. I.E., 'kidish' reffers to a child's point of view or mentality, yet a child would never have a realtionship- I'm going to trim this a little bit for space. 'Kidish' means actually acting as a child would. I play with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and my X-Files The Movie mint-condition action figures. 'Kidish', no? Yet not immature. Remember that.
...Oh and, all the other stuff I said. Keep that in mind too... I guess.


There is this kid at my school, I feel so much more than a "crush" I feel a feeling I've never felt before I wrote his name on my hand one night just out of the blue.. I alway see his face, and when I dont see, it comes back.. its like hes haunting me.. I love him so much.. I just dont have the guts to ask him or to tell a friend.. He is is like the oxygen I need to breathe! He is the perfect one I've been looking for... And if I ever got my chance I wouldn't want to lose him!
What does this all mean? What do I do? Im so confused!!

Raven (link)
Yes, I'd say it's 'love'. I use '' because I know odds are it isn't. My advice would be to just bloody talk to him. About anything, just make him your friend. You say you don't have the guts, well, take a deep breath, maybe work out what you're going to say in advance. It took me some time to finally talk to this girl I like, but at some point you just need to come out with it. I wouldn't suggest trying to make him your boyfirend in an instant, just be his friend first, build up a strong friendship, then tell him how you feel. That's my advice anyway, whether you take it or not.


My Mom:
I ask her if I could dye my hair maybe 2 months ago, and she said talk to me about it later, so acouple days Ago I asked her...
Me- So is it a yes or no to dying my hair?
Mmom- Im going to get my hair cut soon so ask my hairdresser about it..
Me- Why??
Mmom- because she knows how to do it
Me- But ur my mom and IM asking you, so if she said no i couldnt?
mmom- YES
me- WHY? its my hair! and she isnt my mom, she isnt even related to me
mom- Dont ask me right now
(I run into my room *steaming with anger*

My moms BF: I went in my moms room just to say hi, and he was watching fucking porno clip.. and he was all like CANT DO ANYTHING WITH THESE KIDS AROUND.. And my mom was liek what BRITTANy, get out.. and I was like fine, god I just wante dot say hi.. and I slammed their door and said maybe you should keep the door lcoed.. cuz the door was wide opened! He threw a tiny box at me while I was leaving..

Sometimes I like him and sometimes I dont.

My life is all screwed up! Well witht he relationship of my family anyways...
My Mom always rags on me.. and we live with her bf so if I told her I didnt liek him at all she wouldnt do anything cuz shes happy.. but shes a b*t** to me. I never spend time with her...
Im always in my crappy room, I wish It wasnt so purple, I didnt get to choose the color, I want it black and peaceful!!

And the kids at school make it worse, always making fun of me, I sit alone at lunch most of the time... People stare, but they dont care..
They just dont care, I have like 3 friends at school, not really, cuz if they were my friends they would sit with me..

WHY IS MY LIFE SO FUCKED UP!??!! what should I do?

Im sick of this

IM the same person who wrote about This Kid I reaaallly love and I wrote his name on my hand.. Its under love if u havent read it yet...

And I cant fall asleep and she always tells me go to bed, and I cant

err whats wrong with me, Why am I even here? (link)
To answer what's wrong with you, nothing I have seen so far. Why are you here? I'm not going to get bogged down in the details of what your mother did. It does sound like your life is pretty crappy, but I'm not sure there's a whole lot you can do about it. Try talking to your mum or her boyfriend about your problems (yeah, I know, based on what you've said it probaby won't work). I'd also say you should talk to this kid you claim to 'love.' Just get up and talk to him, and once he's your friend you can tell him your problems. And one other thing. I used to sit alone at school too, not because I didn't have friends, but because I felt like it. I was the one who had to go sit with them (lazy pieces of-). So maybe try that, and if that doesn't work, I'm all for cursing for making you think they're friends blah blah blah. The important thing is you can talk to SOMEONE about this, it will make you feel better. And just know that if you do really well in school now you can go far far far away to college and never come back.


Hello! I've recently read some advice you've given, and I can't help but wonder whether you're actually giving advice, or just complaining about people's poor lack of sentence structure? I'm sure you're a very nice person, and that you are a great guy, and maybe you even think that you are giving advice. But maybe you should lighten up on people's poor spelling and try to give more advice suited to their question? I'm not saying you complain about their spelling mistakes and grammatical errors all the time, since some adive you given has been nice and very thoughtful. Sorry, just wondering!

(link)
Yeah, I'd say you're probably right, but the thing is I really do want to help people, and it's just really hard to give advice when I cannot understand what the question is. I mean, I can't just sit around and do nothing, I want to give advice. I do what I can in the advice area, but do you really expect me to be able to when I don't know the question? I could just stay away from those questions, but only one or two questions out of 20 are ever comprehensible. I was hoping that by all the complaining I did about it would be seen by others so'd they'd try to make an understandable question I can help with.


how to know you feel better about doing the right thing (link)
Dude? What is that? Is that a question? A title? A prelude to a question? You could at least make a WHOLE sentence. Are you making a statement? yes, it does feel better to do the right thing, whatever it may be. I've come across many a situation in which I could have walked away and let things be but stood up for moral. But... are you asking 'how' you know? I dont really understand this much better than I undertsand you current sentence formation. If you're asking about whether or not to do the right thing, then my answer is yes, and you'll feel so much better. If you don't like my answer, it's definitely your own fault.


i would like to know when your'e friends with guys and a pretty close friends, how would you know if its just a friendship or something else? but he tends to do to much tease with you and jokes around with you lots, how can you tell if he likes you thats why he does all these stupid things to get your attention but he doesn't do this to other girls. so plase let me know u what think thanx. (link)
Firstly, if he's doing things like that, I can safely say he most likely has some sort of crush on you, though I cannot say he's willing to admit it. I went a good looooooong while before I realized how I feel about my girlfriend. Anyway, you can pretty much assume he wants to be more than friends.
Now, just because he feels this way for you, or vice versa, or both, doesn't mean you two autmoatically have a deeper relationship, that's just plain stupid. If you don't like him, I'd suggest asking him how he feels, then saying (GENTLY!!) that you don't really feel the same. Else, ask him how he feels and then tell him how you feel. Maybe ask him out if he's still reluctant. I didn't really want to but because my girlfriend wouldn't tell me how she felt I just came out with it. And if neither of you like each other that way, tell him to 'bug off' and 'stop being a bloody weirdo'.


yeah i am a big fruit and vegetable fan is it bad not too eat nothing else a part fruits and vegetable in college but my friends they think am on diet when am not or needed for that but they assume just 1 of them (link)
Okay, I'd love to help, but I have no bloody idea what you just said. I can just barely make out the general idea of what a summary of this might possibly be. Your grammatical and speeling errors are more plentiful than stars in the night sky. I think you're having in trouble with your friends thinking you're on a diet, in which case just say you're aren't and tell them you just don't want to eat meat. That's what I do, I'm a vegetarian as well. I too am a big fruit and vegetable fan, I usually drink a lot of pineapple juice in a day. Oh, and if you want to throw in a comment to your friends about Atkins being wrong, that's always good.
I hope I helped. At least in the ways of grammar. I feel a great swell of pity for your professors. That's not even a run-on because it never freakin' ENDS! PERIOD, MAN! PERIOD!!!


Hey adivce culumnists. I have a Question I write poetry and am wondering what you think of this? The last poem an this question is published by eternal portraits. I really don't get support with poetry.
I have three poems I want you to look at and tell me what you think.It would mean alot to me! Thanx!

What A Wonderful Life

As a young girl lays in bed one night.
She thinks of her life happenings.
She thinks of the smiles.
She thinks of the frowns.
She thinks of the tears that have been shed.
She thinks of the feelings of having her heart broken.
She thinks of the feelings of having her heart mended.
She thinks of all the people she knows and smiles.
What a Wonderful Life!

The Song Of Spring
Spring come to me Please don't leave me here alone!
Bring to me the song of Spring
Bring to me the Tulips and Daffodils.
Bring to me the Blue Blue sky and Green Green grass.
Bring to me the chirpping birds and the Buzzz of the Bees.
Please don't leave me here!
I'm tired of the gloom and doom!
No more cold cold days
No more fog to to see!
Leave the rain and wind behind!
Bring to me the song of Spring

Lord I Wonder?

Lord I wonder why I feel alone?
I know thou watchest over me.
I know thou watchest me come closer too thee.
I know thou watchest me go a stray from thee.
I know thou lovest me, then why do I a stray from thee?
I lovest thee, thy Lord then why do I 'cause thee pain?
I thank thee Lord for loving me, I thank thee Lord.

I must say, these are some splendid poems. I'm a bit of a poet meself, although I make a profession out of prose. There is indeed much talent in you. Keep up the good work, only a small percentage of the population can truly appreciate poetry.


WHY DID HARNER EVEN THINK ABOUT CHANGING HIGH SCHOOLS TO START AT 7:30!! DO YOU REALIZE I'D HAVE TO GET UP AT 4:45 A.M.?!?!? (link)
Okay, waste of my space, but I don't care. Look, enough people have protested that the school board has changed their minds. Mind... minds? Whatever!!! Look, with enough e-mails and protests we can beat this stupids thing! I was organising a protest earlier, but it seems now it is unnecessry. Just swarm them with e-mails. They'll concede. If not, I'm a tad too stubborn to go for this ****. Government or not, you cannot force me to do stupid things. Just sleep through all your classes or show up at 8:30 if this 7:30 things passes.
P.S. Don't tell ME you gat up at 4:45, TELL THE FREAKIN' SCHOOL BOARD! Geez.


im at my wits end with my relationship with my 50 yr old boyfriend i dont know what to do anymore.
im 38 well almost and i have a high sex drive and he has a low one we lye in bed at nite and that is it he is hardly affectionate to me more so to his computer we dont have sex he says he is too small we are both large people but this large lady has to have it not use to being without it lol but seriously i have tried everything lingere u name it i have tried it at least once i have even tried telling him about it. nothing works I want to have sex all the time i want to find a sex partner so if anyone is in pennsylvania let me know or close to me i know everyone says i should not cheat on him but sex once in 3 yrs is a bit rude well let me hear what people think be nice i am a person 2 (link)
Wow, I never meant to read the whole thing, and I must say you ask me to be nice but I cannot help but be quite POed. It's nice to know plenty of morons out there appreciate the sanctity of marriage and the importance of sex being about love. It's a bit of a shame I don't know them. So, I'm not gonna freak out, and I'll calmly type my answer. Why are you dating him, because you like him, yes? Obviously not e-freakin-nough if you're willing to cheat on him. Maybe you don't have religion, and maybe you ignore morals, but if you're going to be so stupid and sex-crazy than at least have the courtesy of breaking up with him! And if you do care for him, so what if you don't have sex? The moral and the logical thing to do is to wait until after marriage. Then just whine until he caves in. But, YOU DO NOT CHEAT ON HIM!!! I think I'll stop here, before I get too angry...


I have a very adorable cat named Kiwamu sitting on my lap, but sometimes, when she miows, i'm not sure what she wants. I'm pretty sure it just means she's board, but I can't always let her outside. She always has plenty of food out, and she knows where her litter box is, so I'm sure it is just because she wants attention. How can I keep her entertained when I can't let her outside? (link)
Ah, I once had a cute little kitty. He WAS allowed outside until he kept getting into fights. Poor guy, he always got cuts and thus got FIV and developed a feline AIDS. How'd I keep a wild cat entertained inside? Well, he always loved to chase string. I bought him a little mouse that moved when you pulled the string and he's chase that. Maybe throw some balls around, cats love that. A little catnip never hurt either. Toys are pretty much my suggestion, but not all toys thrill cats. I bought many my cat didn't care for. A simple ball or sting always got his attention though. And you don't always have to control the sting. Be creative, hang it from the ceiling with a little catnip on it, Kiwamu will love it. OH! I also had a little device that made the sound of a bird. He absolutely LOVED chasing that around, wondering what was making that bird noise! Those are my suggestions.


What can I do about those annoying idiots online who never bother to spell anything right? (a.k.a. newbies). They're really annoying! Everytime I run into one online I just want to stab a fork into an electrical socket... It tingles, but then you die. Can anyone help? (link)
I ahev the exact same problem, except I get the urge to sitck and electrically charged fork into THEIR eyes. Ah well, to each his own, n'est ce pas? Anyway, there are several solutions, ranging from the very drastic send them a virus to just ignoring them. This does not work, as they insist on sending several messages of "whr r u?" "did u leave", "y dont u say anything?". At some point you'd think they'd learn, like a chimpanzee, but they aren't as smart as a chimp. Luckily, instant messaging sevrices allow you to block people, AIM does this nicely, or the fun ICQ way where they cannot talk to you without authorization. I love that. AIM I believe also has "warning". Click that. It's fun. But really, you're doomed. My girlfriend won't abide by the proper rules of grammar. And all the people I help in my column probably couldn't pass a simple spelling test. "You're" mean "you are", "your" means "your"!!!! So, you just need to learn to deal with it, often with cursing and "Caps Lock". * can be substituted for those who feel certain words "wrong". **** *** I say to you. I just wasted your time, didn't I


gods_gal_90@yahoo.com dont be fooled by the name though lol my dad made it 4 me when i was like 9.

Carrie (link)
Wait... the girl who insists she need more friends? I must say I'm a tad curious. I know I just answered this person who needed help with poetry, would that be you? My, I suppose it's my turn to ask a question. I guess if you are or you aren't I'll appear the fool, won't I? Though I would've liked clarification as to why you sent me this. It's the logical thing to do. Ugh, I knew this site would attract people to mess with my head. If you are the girl needing poetry help, send something to my address directly. If not, then do the same, explaining WHY!!?? I'm gonna make myself a cup of tea.


i want to write a poem, im not sure what to write about and im not good at making them up lol i will send anyone my poems if they wanna read them. i have one called love lost. that one was acctually good lol. anyways, i need a poetry partner or someone that can help me write a poem 4 my (hopefully) boyfriend. (link)
Poetry, eh? Ah, one of my many specialties. I'd love to read some of your poems, I do believe I can help you if you truly believe you need it. My e-mail is logicman001@icqmail.com
AIM: logicman231163
If you really want a good poem and you aren't so great with them, start in prose, writing exactly what you feel. Then twist words around, make 'em rhyme, and sometimes for fun make it so only you understand what the poem means. I love it when people think I meant something different. Anyways, I'll need to read your poems to help. I'd send you some of mine... but I don't have your e-mail.


ive just joined this site as a columist,and i was reading your profile,you sound very helpfull ,which is what a site like this needs ,so good luck and keep giving the good advice, (link)
This isn't really a question, so this isn't really an answer. Thank you for your support, I have a feeling some people will find my answers to certain questions... well, they'll THINK it's wrong. I wish the best of luck to you as well. May your advice be filled with wisdom. Au revoir, mon ami. Err... mon amie? Whatever. I think I'll sleep now.


i need more friends. it sux. i have friends online and all but i need more. and more in real life. if u wanna chat email me at gods_gal_90@yahoo.com ok well im gonna submit this so u guys can see it and email me or respond or whatever (link)
As long as the friends you have are trustwrthy, decent people who care about you then you have plenty of friends. I have a very small number of friends too, but they're the best. They listen to my problems and vice versa, and we always have fun together. Thus, I'm not desperate to add more. Besides, the way you look for friends is definitely going to attract morons. I use this category for all jerks, perverts, actually stupid people who failed Geometry twice, and the likes of them. Appreciate your current friends, and in retrun you'll build a strong loving relationship.


I..I don't know what is wrong... I just feel so dark latly... I try to hide it when i'm around friends by smiling and laughing and tring to be hyper just so they don't ask me what's wrong? or pester me by huddleing over me. (excuse my spelling) Truth is, i don't know why i've been sulking. Maybe it's the fact i have been told every problem my friends have and i try to help them. I stress out when i can't find an answer or i repeat myself over and over as an answer. I never talk about my own problems. I feel that i don't want to over burden them... So i claim to have the best life out of all my friends. At first glance i do, but more than half my family is disabled and in great pain everyday. I'm so used to them i really don't care anymore... I cut my wrist in the shower last night not cause i wanted to get rid of the pain but cause i wanted to taste the blood. Something about it, just makes my taste buds tingle. i dunno what you can say or do but i just needed to tell someone... (link)
Old Answer: You shouldn't do this. You have friends, the luck! You must always remember your friends and family. I too have had this experience. Dark, alone, with no one. But always remember you're never alone. This could be a serious problem. My advice would be to talk to someone close to you, a family member I'd suggest. I must also say don't cover your feelings with laughter. If you're down, either directly tell your friends or behave upset so they can talk to you about it. The last person to come to is me. I envy you for having friends.
If you ever get the urge to cut your wrist again, find someone to talk to. Your family, or someone who works at your school, guidance counsellor... I think. If anyone should be depressed, it shouldn't be one with friends and family. I doubt I can help, but at least youve told someone. That's a large step. Now you must talk to your family, or at the very least your friends. I very nearly cut my wrist before. But, whenever life gets you down, remember, you have friends and family. They care about you, and you can talk to them. I'm sorry, but it doesn't seem like I'm terribly helpful. Please, tell your family.

Something New: Never thought I'd meet anyone like you.. err... me. I've always felt my reason to live was to hepl others. But every now and then even the wisest trip along their path. We all have friends to pick us back up. Never feel you cannot talk to anyone. I was once the same. Then I met someone who I could really open up to. Funny thing was I know I'll likely never see this person for real, only through ICQ. And the only reason I still breath: I help the helpless, and the hopeless.


Most my friends have seemed to not care about me anymore. They all just care about other friends now, and never have time to even just say "hello" to me, but they have time to spend time with other people for hours on end. I feel so betrayed, these people that i called friends just don't seem to care anymore, I hardly ever talk to them anymore, when when i attempt to, i get responses of "uhuh" or any other word related. What can i do to get them to actually notice me? =( please help! (link)
I find it quite intersting you still want these people to be your friends. There exist 6 billion people on this planet, why do you seek out those who clearly don'y deserve your friendship? I can tell you how to get them to notice you and what you should really do at once. Yell at them. I'm fond of various curse words because I cannot see why they are shunned, but it isn't necessary. Revenge is too far, of course, but do something!
Of course, maybe they still are good people, the trick now is to be ectra nice to them. In this scenario you show them why they once were your friends. Often friendships are ruined when one's friends begin to be friends with another, but quite possibly they feel bad about it. Be as nice as possible, do the unnecessary helful things for them.
Me, I'd probably start with the nice, then if they truly don't care about me any more I show them my feelings for them. You can find new friends, good ones. Society is full of those uncarring self-centred people, I suggest not being a part of them. I do not say my advice is best, but give it some thought, at least. What you do is your own choice, don't let this incident manipulate and control your mind.
