  • Re: dogs at work

    For about the first time I think that Prudence did not give the right answer. Dogs in the office can be good for everyone and I know people who do occassionally take their dogs to work with them (the library, a regular office, etc.). However, no dog should come to the office if it is noisy, obtrusive, or is not completely house trained. To ...

  • Tomorrows letters today

    Dear Psuedie, I'm a smart, 30+ gal, with a dilema. I was dating the perfect guy and we were great together. Then he dumped me for another broad (she's dumber than a stump and almost blind too). Now he wants back in my bed without giving up his new girlfriend. Signed I get in a twitter when he's around. Dear Psuedie, I hate my job. When ...

  • Who pulls the trigger? You?

    Thanks Prudie for the insigh into you twisted little mind. I really do mean little too. I thought I had seen it all untill a few minutes ago then............Bam, some low grade internet advice hack has to weight in on the matter of slandering a great democratic candidate and former First Lady of The United States of America. Man the 90's sure ...

  • Sending Mixed Signals at the Gym?

    Its about time that someone brings attention to an annoying matter of sexual decorum, or conflicting sexual norms, found in most gyms across America: people sending mixed signals. *There's the guy who stares at you no matter where you go, even if behind him. If he was focussing on his work out, then why did he turn around to stare at you? No ...

  • Fake Letters this week.

    These letters have to be fake. I mean, the first two are straight out of the movies or off of the television. Letter #1 is about some random guy who has a fetish about being in diapers. CSI had the same thing on last season. Letter #2 is objecting to a supposed family ''tradition'' where an older unmarried sibling has to dance at the wedding of ...

  • "Wingnuts are family" doesn't make sense as a title

    ''Wingnuts'', I thought refered to right wingers? It's also an insult. Is it meant to refer to the young man joining the family? But Prudie's message is one of acceptance, so why insult him? Does it refer to the family being married into? But they are liberals, not ''wingnuts''.Can someone explain this to me?

  • Suggestion for Alum

    Apparently you have fantastic taste in clothes - why else would your friend be so insistant? Here's a suggestion so the shelter won't get shorted: Have your friend go through her clothing as well, and set aside everything in good condition that she's outgrown, dislikes, or doesn't wear any more. Take those, along with those items of yours she ...

  • Pregnant Mother--Talk to HR!

    I agree with Prudie that the pregnant mother should not quit her job, but I think she should speak with a supervisor or HR director and explain that her co-workers habits are making it very difficult to remain productive, so much so that she even considered quitting. This is the type of disagreement between co-workers that HR is intended to ...

  • My Friend's Husband is Cheating

    I have noticed a couple of times that the characters in the animations for the SlateV column of Dear Prudence show some racial undertones. Please don't think that I am seeking evidence of racism everywhere. It is just that I found it befuddling that the cheating wife is a black gal(afro and all), although there is no reference to that fact in the ...

  • Consequences of Having Extensive Sexual Past?

    You mean there are consequences to having an extensive sexual past? Psychological you say? Emotional you say? Who knew that anyone would actually bother to ask about? And why should anyone's morality stand in judgement of my sexual past, because I am an individual law onto myself. How dare anyone make even a tisk or a whisk or a flinch at ...
