  • How about some new topics for a change.

    We've had all these letters before, from another perspective at least. 1) We had a guy write a letter about his wife wanting him to have a vasectomy. This was just about 6 months ago. Could this be the husband of LW 1? 2) We had the guy whose girlfriend was caught snooping on his computer and from the girlfriend who found pr0n (possibly child) ...

  • Re: So Sad Prudie on Weight

    Thanks JudithS for your words. Looking at replies to this video in general I see a lot of trolling and also a lot of guys who just really don't get it. Being fat doesn't make you a monster, ask thousands of men who are happily married with a great sex life to a chubby gal. My husband had an interesting perspective also on this. His thought, ...

  • Prudie, You're showing too much!

    This gained nothing by being in a video. The multiple camera angles (look we have a tripod and handheld shots!) was distracting and unnecessary, as was the stiff delivery of the lines that come across much better in writing. Editors: don't make prudence do videos when it's not necessary. You're wasting everyone's time. If you got the professor ...

  • music for Prudie is AWFUL

    Please hire someone to compose better cue music for the Dear Prudence segment -- or heck, contact me, I'll license you one of my compositions for cheap. Then again, maybe you intended it to sound like an ironic take on the Jack Handy segments from SNL? Even so. UGH.

  • Dog "Leakage"

    Our dog had the same problem, which was solved with a trip to the vet for a prescription of Proin.
