Georgia, I have a question, My neighbor has been getting several packages per day. If I switch our address plates just temporarily so that I get one of the packages and can inspect it, can I be held liable? Curiosity Killed the Cat Curiosity, WTH is wrong with you? Your neighbor’s packages are none of your business! Inspect it? Inspect it for what? Something illegal? Wait, maybe you should call your local police department and tell them that because your neighbor gets packages, he must be a criminal. It’s always good to warn the local cops abo...
Georgia, I have a question, We are concerned our only son isn’t having children. Every time we bring it up with him, he seems to have a new excuse. Recently when we tried to discuss this with our daughter-in-law directly, she said her high-powered career would be severely impacted if she didn’t plan child-bearing carefully because she doesn’t get paid parental leave at her workplace. We tried to encourage her by saying that she doesn’t even need to work since our son is very successful and we have considerable means. This seems to have offende...
Georgia, I have a question, My son is very troubled and physically ill. He is pale and sometimes vomits blood. Could he be possessed by a demon? Concerned Dear Not-Concerned-Enough, My goodness! Take him to a medical doctor for an exam immediately! There are many things that could be physically wrong with him that are not demonic possession. There are parasites that can enter and live in the stomach and other internal organs that could cause these symptoms! Get him to a doctor! With love, Georgia Georgia, I have a question, Would it be immoral...
Georgia, I have a question, Unfortunately, we have had to postpone our wedding as I’ve been diagnosed with cancer and will be starting treatments two weeks before the wedding. We’ve received a lot of support and understanding, but some people want us to reimburse them for canceled flights. How do I handle this? Am I in the wrong for saying no? Pained and Lost Dear Pained, My lord, you are absolutely not in the wrong for saying no. Honestly, all of those who asked you this need to be cut out of your life immediately - as they are damaged goo...
Georgia, I have a question, If you write a book about failure and it doesn’t sell, is it a success? Failed Success Dear Failed, Oooooh, good one! So many ways this could go one way or the other - but you did PAY to have the book printed which no one bought, so therefore, fail! With love, Georgia Georgia, I have a question, My girlfriend and I went to watch Avatar in 3D when it was released. This was her first 3D movie experience. When she came out of the theater, visibly overwhelmed, she asked me, “Don’t you think the world would be much more...
Georgia, I have a question, What is the difference between an admirer and a stalker? The girl I am in love with told me I’m a creepy stalker but I don’t think I qualify as that description. Somewhere In-Between Dear In-Between, If someone thinks you are a “creepy stalker” you have crossed that line from an admirer. You are no longer making the object of your “love” feel safe and therefore should stop immediately. Apologize, learn from your actions, and move on. With love, Georgia Georgia, I have a question, How does one describe “nothing?...
Georgia, I have a question, How do I teach my 16-year-old daughter not to cry when I yell at her for doing something wrong? I can’t handle her emotions. She needs to man up. Even when I’m not yelling at her, she’s emotional when we talk because I tell her what a baby she’s being. Help. Strict No-Tears Policy Dear Strict, Keep yelling at her, I dare you. Watch as she learns to bite her lip to keep her tears back. Watch as her voice drops to a whisper when you raise your voice, and her whole body freezes. Listen as she slowly stops telling...
Georgia, I have a question, Do my parents have the right to call my children whatever they want as names, even if that isn’t what I named them? Long story short, my parents think my twins - Ezra and Esme - have “immature” names because they aren’t traditional. So both of my parents have started calling them Theodore and Winifred. Isn’t this wrong of them to do? They don’t seem to see it as a problem. Double Named Twins Dear Double, Wow. I’ve heard of grandparents giving their grands a nickname, but never an ENTIRELY different name! Yes, th...
Georgia, I have a question, How do I calculate the fair price of a girlfriend using asset pricing theory? I don’t want to spend too much money on dates if the woman isn’t worth it. Budget Minded Dear Budget, Your thought process astounds me. Calculating whether or not a woman is worth the money you spend on her in a mathematical equation - wow. Have you ever considered your worth? Would women find you at a fair price? With love, Georgia Georgia, I have a question, Is it possible to reduce your eyesight in a natural way? I really want gla...
Georgia, I have a question, How often does Judge Judy hand out death sentences on her show? I’ve watched every episode, I think, and I’ve never seen her deal with more than debts, who is the father questions, and mundane things like that. Where are the serious cases? Wanting More Dear More, Well, darling, you see...well, there’s a lot it seems you need to see. While Judge Judith Susan Sheindlin was formerly a prosecutor and Manhattan family court judge, she is now a court-show arbitrator. Her judgments are legally binding, but the proce...
Georgia, I have a question, Do the British use forks or is there some kind of England-ish utensil akin to chopsticks? I’m going on vacation to Venice soon and don’t want to look stupid when I eat. Chopstick Challenged Dear Challenged, I feel that this question is the least of your issues. Use a fork, just as you do in the USA. FYI - Venice is in Italy, not England. Make sure you check your boarding pass to make sure you actually know where you are headed. With love, Georgia Georgia, I have a question, Am I older than my “older”sister? She was...
Georgia, I have a question, My family was having a reunion and we had a big dinner. I was sitting next to an aunt that I’d only met one other time and she was talking about something really boring, and crying and wailing at the dinner table. I had to fart, so I let one out and it was really horrible. One of my brothers laughed and the aunt went hysterical and my mom sent me to bed without dinner. Why would this be considered rude? Tootie Toddy Dear Tootie, It sounds as if your parents did not inform you that bodily functions should be done i...
Georgia, I have a question, I have many men pursuing me. Many MANY men. My mom thinks this just isn’t right and that I should pick one and go from there. But why should I settle with one man when I have so many men chasing me? Hot Commodity Dear Hot, It’s okay darling, cheap stuff attracts the most customers. With love, Georgia Georgia, I have a question, I just had a baby and he is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. My parents bought me a stroller for him and it is just, well, hideous. But then I saw someone with the ugliest baby eve...
Georgia, I have a question, I’m planning to go on a weekend trip with a couple of my girlfriends. I’m going to be bringing my baby; she is seven months old and is strictly breastfed, so obviously, I have to bring her. One of my friends wants to come on the trip as well but wants to bring her almost two-year-old. The two-year-old uses cups and is self-sufficient. I feel like that kind of defeats the purpose of a girls' trip without children. I don’t want her to bring her child! How do I tell her without sounding rude or mean? Please help. Only...
Georgia, I have a question, I swallowed an ice cube whole over a week ago. I’m really scared because I still haven’t, you know...expelled it...yet. It’s really going to hurt when it comes out and I need to prepare. Any advice? Ice Cube Blockage Dear Blockage, What are they teaching you and our youth in school these days? Ice...it melts. It won’t, you know...come out WHOLE. You are fine! Please...pick up a science book and read a little! With love, Georgia Georgia, I have a question, My momma always told me not to look directly into the sun bec...
Georgia, I have a question, I am 52 and getting married in about six months (first). My best friend, whom I love dearly, is assuming I want her to be my matron of honor. I have not asked her because she weighs about 400 pounds. I hate myself for not wanting her to be in the wedding because it would just break her heart. People stare at her and point as she is also very short, so it looks worse (if we can say that). I feel awful, but I am just being honest. I don’t want her to ruin my wedding photos. How can I handle this? Matron Problems D...
Georgia, I have a question, I’m so lost! Isn’t NFL just for the U.S.?! How does New England have a team?????? New England isn’t part of the United States! I just had this same argument with someone who told me Georgia is a country, not just a state. Idiots! New England is England Dear New England, Oh, sweet summer child. New England is the northeast corner of the USA, made up of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont - NONE of which are in England. The New England Patriots are based in the greater Bosto...
Georgia, I have a question, I recently learned that a small man has been living in my attic for the past 53 weeks, unbeknownst to me and my family. He doesn’t speak any English and he acts feral. I don’t know what to get him for Christmas this year. Any suggestions? Clueless Dear Clueless, What wHaT WHAT?!?! He lived in your attic for over a year and you want to get him a Christmas present? How about charging him back rent? Well, you are much nicer than I am. Hmmm...I guess...maybe a heated blanket? With love, Georgia Georgia, I have a que...
Georgia, I have a question, I (22M) was on Facetime with my girlfriend (20F) and my sister (11F) walks in. She has tears streaming down her face. I quickly move to comfort her. She comes in for a hug, and I hold her face while wiping a tear, asking her what happened (doesn’t matter, typical 11-year-old stuff). My girlfriend is made uncomfortable by this and tells me that she thinks it's really weird to, as she put it, caress her face. I’m quite confused by this, as I consider this a normal interaction between us siblings. Am I in the wrong her...
Georgia, I have a question, My daughter is fourteen and still sleeps with a buys stuffed animals. How do I get to stop? This is so embarrassing! Too Old For Stuffies Dear Too Old, You need to grow up! Yes, you! How does what your daughter sleeps with, in the privacy of her own bed, embarrass you? I am an aged adult and I still sleep with a teddy bear. I use it because it supports my arm and besides that, it is cute as heck! Maybe your daughter needs emotional support and comfort... probably from you... as you don’t seem the most loving i...
Georgia, I have a question. My wife changed her Facebook status from “married” to “widowed”. Should I be worried? Not Dead Yet Yet, Yet is the key word here! Get outta there! Run, run, RUN! With love, Georgia Georgia, I have a question. I have a dog. His name is Charlie and he is four years old. I’m just wondering when I should start to teach him about sex. What age do you think is appropriate? Naive Pupper Pupper, I highly doubt your pupper doesn’t already know about the birds and the bees. Also, this isn’t exactly something someone can t...
Georgia, I have a question, I hate this word, but it is the only way to describe this. Why is my grandma’s house always...moist? Like, everything just feels swampy in there. She lives here in Montana, with no humidity, yet I feel like I’m in the bayou when I visit. Her table is damp, her chair is wet, and the air is...well, again, moist. I don’t get it. Disliking the Moisture Dear Moisture, Oh, moisture...it is a crazy thing. My guess is your grandma has a humidifier that may be turned on a little too often, which may make the Montana air f...
Georgia, I have a question, Are birth control pills tax deductible? Planning Ahead Dear Planning, Only if they don’t work. With love, Georgia Georgia, I have a question, I am a twenty-three-year-old liberated woman who has been on the pill for two years. It’s getting expensive and I think my boyfriend should share half the cost. The problem is, I don’t know him well enough to discuss money with him. What should I do? Don't Know Him Dear Know Him, don’t know the man you’re sleeping with well enough to discuss money with him, you certainly...
Georgia, I have a question, I’ve always been fascinated by the Superheroes we grew up watching on the Saturday morning cartoons. Many of these, we now know as adults, were just make-believe, being just, you know, cartoons, but when movies like Superman came out later on, we KNEW that he, at least, was real, even though he was actually an alien, which explains his powers. Batman, although he was a Superhero, didn’t really have any powers; he just had some amazing toys! Then, we learned that Spiderman and The Flash were real too, even though the...
Georgia, I have a question, I need advice! My fiance and I are having lots of issues right now. We can’t stop fighting and I don’t know what to do. I quit my job because wedding planning is taking up so much time and now my fiance is refusing to get a second job. He doesn’t understand that I don’t have time to get ready for work, drive to work, be somewhere else all day, and drive home - I need to be HOME to plan this wedding! I asked him to get a second job and he won’t - he says he already works 60+ hours a week and that I need to get a job...
