Well folks, you've done it now. Due to your lack of participation, I am forced to supply my own letter to beef up the column this week. However, I don't plan to take up your slack every week. I don't ask that much of you. All I ask is that you write down your piddley little unimportant problems and send them to me... but no, you can't do that. People, it's time to start pulling your own weight around here! Straighten up and fly right!
Dear Me: I am addicted to Theme Hospital. I play it for hours on end, and I have dreams about it. In these dreams, I figure out the most efficient methods of room placement, putting the clinics and psych wards closest to the helicopter pad so that the incoming emergency patients will cut their travel time and leave more time for treatment. Is something wrong with me? Should I seek help? Curse the Limey bastard that invented this monkey for my back! Myself Well, Myself, I see nothing wrong with obsessive compulsive behavior, as long as it doesn't interfere with your productivity and/or sleep cycle. If you are foregoing sleep to play this game, or shirking your duties as the superb advice columnist that you are, you definitely need to take action and curb this addiction. However, if it makes you happy and relaxes you, allowing you to be more productive when the time for productivity comes, have fun! Theme Hospital is a lot healthier an addiction than alcohol or drugs. It is even better than kill-or-be-killed games like Diablo. Now, you did manage to get over that Diablo addiction. I think that you are a step above it now, because rather than being addicted to inflicting injury, you are addicted to healing. To me it sounds as if your taste for addictive behavior is definitely improving. be proud of your accomplishment! Dear Lady J I love your colon... er... column (damned extended ascii set). I read it every day, your column that is. I have a quandry. There is a woman, to which I have romantic interest. She is in a position where she advances the notion that she must rid her life of all romance in order to pursue her education and other responsibilities. She clearly reciprocates the romantic interest, yet has decided not to allow it to develop. This perplexes me. I've suggested to her that these simple dualities that the media impose are quite harmful. I suggest that the parameters of a possible realtionship can be defined by she and I, yet she fails to relent. What shall I do. Signed, NBC Says I can't have a realtionship. I think this woman is politely trying to brush you off. Either that, or she is a flake, and not worth your energy. You cannot force a person into a "realtionship" (as you spelled it twice). I suggest that you stop wasting your time on a person who doesn't reciprocate interest. A relationship drains enough energy as it is. You don't need the added pressure of continually trying to convince her that she should be with you. No, there are too many fish in the sea-ee. Maybe you'll reel in a live one, hook up, and prove this cold fish to be a fluke. |

Born and raised in NYC, LadyJ developed a quick wit and an acid tongue to entertain her friends, and cut down those foolish enough to oppose her. This abrasiveness earned her a reputation as a heartless bitch in some circles, but those closest to her still believe she has a great capacity for understanding and caring, and a talent for advice. On this website, LadyJ offers herself both to help those who ask her advice, and to entertain those who find her humorous. Those who fall into neither category are leftovers, and we all know that no one likes leftovers. So, if you have a problem that you need help with, and the courage to accept her advice...
