Welcome to my advice column. My name is Dawn. First, I assure you I am not like other young people at all. There is nothing about me that is overly special. I have an extreme fear of going back in time, getting stuck there then contracting a disease that's curable now but not curable then, and of being drowned by peacocks. o.0 I have little respect for what hasn't earned it, most of the world is little more than my plaything or a joke to me but what makes it inside my walls is there forever. I was probably tampered with as a child by aliens. Godspeed.

This is an advice column. I have little patients for idiots...

Q: Can I ask you a question?


A: You just did, now I'm all out of answers for today, try again never.

Q: What's the song that goes like this ... ?


A: How is this asking for advice?

Q: I had unprotected sex 23,086,165 times, am I pregnant?


A: Take a damn test and stop being such a whore.

Q: Does he like me?


A: If you have to ask stupid questions like this, to complete strangers who know neither of you, then I highly doubt it. And if he does, then he's an idiot.

Q: Ok, I have to write this essay on (fill in the blank), what should I write?


A: Try growing a brain to think for yourself. You'll never amount to anything if you try to get others to do your homework for you.

Q: Rate this picture, am I ugly?


A: Once again, how is this asking for advice. Stop trying to get self-confirmation through strangers online. You have real self-issues and should probably see a therapist.

Q: Lyk how do u no if u r a lez?


A: You should really learn proper spelling and grammar. It's beyond me how anyone can understand a thing you said.

If you have a serious question, I can be one of the most helpful people you know. I may be only 22, but I have experienced a lot in my life. If I don't know the answer to your delema, I wont pretend to know it and give some random answer that sounded good at the time, I will simply let you know that I don't have the answer, and reffer you to some place that you can find the answer.

advice

I am 40/f and own my own home. Because he's just never got his act together I've had my brother and fiancee living with me since june 2005. They are paying rent, but i really want my space back! I've lived alone for almost 12 years (after being widowed at 29). They are getting married tomorrow.... how can i gracefully ask when they will be moving on? I've kinda put my mom up to saying... so, are you two planning on buying a house or what? but she's been ill and hasn't had the opportunity. Appreciate your advice!

If they are old enough and stable enough to get married, then they are old enough, and stable enough to live on their own, wether it be an apartment or their own house. As long as you allow them to live there, they will take advantage of it. It's easier for them.

I think you should tell them that since they are getting married, it's about time they found their own place. I'm sure they know the bennifits, but it doesn't hurt to remind them that they'll get to decorate how they like, and they will get much more privacy.

They might not like they idea, they might like it. But you could help them out with it as well by doing some research for them of places that are for rent or sale. If they are paying rent with you, it won't be that difficult for them to pay rent for an apartment either.

Of course, with them getting married so soon, I suggest you wait a while, perhaps a week or so before you suggest this. They'll need 'honeymoon' time, and time to bask in the glory of their marriage.

I hope everything works out.
