When was the last time someone asked for your advice? Did they take it?

    My grandsons mother asked me how she could get her son to like her as much as he likes me. I told her to get off facebook and play with him once and a while, not to scream at him all the time (he is only 2, almost 3 years old) and to treat him like she would like to be treated. No, she hasnt taken any of the advise, all she did was get pissed off at me for giving it, even though it was HER that asked me.

    LOL!  She wasn't looking for advice.  She expected you to tell her that she was being silly and he likes her as much as he likes you.  BUT, you did the right thing.  She shouldn't ask for that kind of advice if she isn't willing to be open to criticism about her behavior.  F*ck her.  Your grandson's best childhood memories will be about you.  My grandmother was a bit crazy but, she showed me unconditional love when my parents lost complete interest in parenting and spending time with me.

    Thanks Harry, I think I was right in responding to her inquiry like i did too. My grandmother, like yours, was a little eccentric, but was more of a parent to me than my mother ever was.  My mother had no interest in children at all. Hers or anyone elses. My grandmother loved kids, and loved me as well. ;)

    One of the guys I know asked me what he should do about a woman taking out a restraining order against him.  Unfortunately, I was of no use, because I don't have any experience in that type of thing. Women simply adore me.

    A couple of days ago.  Yes, they took it.  I have no idea why they asked in the first place.  It's not as if I'm someone who has a clue as to what I'm doing.  I use duct tape to fix everything!  That should be a huge red flag to anyone who gives a crap about receiving decent life advice.

      Harry, grab your best roll of duct tape and get over here to my place right away, it's an emergency!  



      Don't just sit there staring at the screen, time is of the essence!  Get moving, Woman, STAT!

    I'll be right over Randy!!!!!   I'm just making sure the last guy I "helped" is back to being comfy cozy.

    Er, um, wait a second, you seem a bit too eager. I think I just changed my mind; you stay where you are and I'll use super-glue instead.

      I would love it, but your idea of how it will be 

        


      differs greatly from my idea of how it will be.

    Oh, I see. You'll cut a tiny little slit in the duct tape covering my mouth, and every third or forth day after the beatings and waterboarding, you'll force a moldy, putrid, rancid, shriveled grape through the hole. Gee, you're nice to me.

    Yes!  Those are the things I do for the people I love.  Think about what the alternative would be for the ones that I don't!

    People ask my advice all the time because I hang out on a forum dedicated to that purpose. The response often is something like "Who asked you?"

    You are fortunate. In many cases people who ask for advice actually want sympathy and they will bite your head off if you offer actual advice.

    I am seldom asked. Guess people don't think I would have anything worthwhile to offer.   Actually the last person to ask was an extramarital lover who had impregnated a young girl in his office.  He took some of the advice I had for him.
