Damn, it's hot. I hate this time of year. I hate feeling all logey and sticky. Worst of all, I hate cooking in this weather. Even if I never turn on the oven, the stove makes me sweat buckets.

I happen to be one of those Sweaty People. You know the people I am talking about. The Sweaty People are the people who carry around hankies so they can mop the sweat off their faces. I'm like that all year. Except, I just use my shirt. To hell with convention, I vote for convenience. I mean, it's my sweat. I made it myself. I wear it on my sleeve and on the neckline of my shirt with pride. It's Made In The USA.

Aaaaaaaanyway, enough about my secretions, on with the show.


What's up Lady J.
I hate my job! If I stay there any longer, I'm gonna go postal and kill somebody.
What can I do to stop all this job related stress?

I'll take Get A New Job for 1000, Alex. Okay, maybe that's too simplistic an answer, but seriously, if you really think you're gonna go over the edge, a new job is the way to go. However, there are some questions you need to ask yourself first.

What is it about your job that stresses you? Is it the people? Your supervisor? The tasks? The commute? If you were doing the same type of job somewhere else, would you be happy?

These questions will help you figure out what your next step is. It might be as simple as getting a transfer, or as complicated as venturing onto another career path. Whatever you decide, it's in your best interest not to blow away your co-workers. It looks really bad on a resume.


Saayyyyy....

Here's a hypothetical situation...
You kill this 300 lb. Vietnamese guy, right? HOW THE HELL ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO GET RID OF HIS BODY WITHOUT ANYONE NOTICING???!!!??? Again, that's strictly hypothetical...yeah...sure...just believe that and we'll all be juuusst fine.

WELL I NEED TO HAVE A QUESTON ANSWERED WHAT SHOULD I DO IF ALL MY GIRLFRIEND WANTS IS TO HOLD EACH OTHER

Well, if you shout in reality the way that you do in print, I'm surprised she'll get that close to you. It's probably even more painful to the ears than it is to the eyes.

Seriously, you have to ask yourself how important she is to you. If you care about her and value her, you have to respect that she isn't ready to do more than cuddle. If her company isn't that important, you need to tell her right away. My personal belief is that if a person isn't worth a little waiting, you shouldn't even be calling that person your girlfriend.

Cuddling is spectacular in itself. If you stop worrying about what is going to come next, and when, you'll learn to enjoy the feeling of being close to the person you dig. One of my favorite things to do is lie in the darkness with my guy and look at his eyelashes while we talk. I also love to just lay my head on his chest, and wrap my arms around him. He loves it too, and he tells me we don't get to do that often enough.

Sex isn't everything. Kissing isn't everything. When you stop worrying about what you don't have, you'll learn to enjoy what you do have.


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...

Ask LadyJ!
