Dear Prudence


Yeesh, has it been a week since I've posted? Apparently so. Work's been nuts, so less time for fun things like blogging. Thank goodness for the impending arrival of the greatest holiday ever--TURKEY WOOOOOO!!

I love a good advice column, and my favorite by far has got to be Dear Prudence (published by Slate). Today's tagline reminded me that I need to plug her column for anyone who is not already a reader:

My family thinks an exorcism will cure my mental illness. How can I spend Thanksgiving with them?

People write to her with some crazy and hilarious problems, and Prudence loves to cut to the chase. She's not afraid to tell people they are being whiny, narcissistic, overly sensitive, an idiot, or other colorful names. Her column is the highlight of my Thursdays; I only wish she published daily.
