One question was, “How should I react when I go into a coffeeshop and see a fellow all dressed up like a woman, sitting reading a […]
When I was a little boy, my brother and I noticed a fellow who was doing something we thought was very funny. We started pointing and laughing but when my mother saw what we were laughing at, she told us to “stop that, you’re being mean. That man has something wrong in his head and […]

So, if a boss is being mean to his employees, it usually doesn’t […]
How often have you found yourself in a deep discussion with someone only to find out later that you were talking about two different things? You’re talking socks on the floor and your husband is talking about who gets to be in charge of the household. “Wait, we were talking about socks, how did we […]
