An Unspeakable Odor

DEAR MADAME: My co-worker, "Hal", has terrible bad breath. Others in the office -- I work in a high-rise -- have noticed it, but nobody has had the courage to say anything to Hal at the risk of offending him. I work closest to him, but don't feel "close" enough to personally confront him. The only... Sign in to see full entry.

A "Very Special" Column

DEAR READERS: As Father's Day approaches, I'd like to re-share one of my classic columns with all of you. A message of love and hope that remains as fresh and inspirational today, as when it first appeared nearly three weeks ago. Plus, you'll find some wonderful (last minute) Father's Day gift ideas...

No Longer In Bloom

DEAR MADAME: I am a 14-year-old girl with a problem. For a couple of months, a close friend of mine, "Libby", was going out with "Jordan", a boy from school. They broke up two months ago because Jordan's a real "studmuffin" and he felt Libby was "hurting his vibe" with other girls. Libby was crushed... Sign in to see full entry.

Date 'Til You Drop

DEAR MADAME: I am middle-aged and still single. Recently I learned that I have an inoperable brain tumor, and the doctors predict I have only a few more months to live. I am in turmoil trying to decide if it's fair to continue dating. Also, am I obligated to tell women of my condition? -- ONE FOOT... Sign in to see full entry.

The Wedding Crasher

DEAR MADAME: "Beth" and "Vance" were married last summer. At the wedding, Beth's 4-year-old nephew, "Danny," stole the show with his breathtaking moves on the dance floor. He was cute as the dickens! And, could really "cut a rug"! Last weekend, Beth and Vance were in town, and little Danny's name... Sign in to see full entry.

The Gray Matter

DEAR MADAME: I am a woman who has been dating a man, "Eustace", for five years now. I'm 32 years old and he's 70. The thing is, I don't know how to break it to him that I am no longer interested. Eustace asked me if I had a problem with the age gap, and I lied and quickly changed the subject --... Sign in to see full entry.

Love, Exciting and New

DEAR MADAME: Excuse me for being an old "fuddy duddy", but what in blue blazes happened to basic good manners? In my day one did not indulge in "foolin' around" in public -- we barely even did anything in private! I find it embarrassing to be around my grandson and his girlfriend in nice...

When Deranged Obsession Stops Being Cute

DEAR MADAME: I have been engaged to "Julio" for three years, but I don't know if I should marry him. Julio has been in prison for the last two years and wants us to be married as soon as he gets out on parole, which will be in another three months. When I read his letters or visit him, he scares me.... Sign in to see full entry.

Food For Thoughtless?

DEAR MADAME: Three or four months ago, my "Aunt Rosie" hosted a "get-acquainted" luncheon and invited several of her new neighbors. One neighbor, "Mrs. Mandelbaum," complimented Aunt Rosie on her delicious "Hungarian casserole". The following week, Mrs. Mandelbaum called Aunt Rosie and announced... Sign in to see full entry.

A Real "Life Saver"?

DEAR MADAME: I'm sure we all remember our mothers telling us to always wear clean underwear with no holes in them in case we were in an accident and had to be taken to the hospital. When I had a massive stroke last Friday and the paramedics transported me to a trauma center, I wasn't wearing any... Sign in to see full entry.
