Dearest Annie,

I’ve almost finished a bachelor’s degree in the science of politics. In doing this, I have progressively grown apathetic to the discipline as well as its social applications. What do I do with my life now?

Up a creek without a paddle

Dear Up a Creek:

I can appreciate the apathetic concerns about [...]

Annie was forced to take an extended timeout through this period because of a death in the family. What made it more complicated was that it was someone who Annie actually liked. In death as in life, the passing of some people is a mere speed-bump but for others it’s a reason to pull over. [...]

Dear Annie,

I hope you can help me! For the past 10 years I have been searching this country for a place to retire.

If you ever saw the Christmas movie classic, Holiday Inn, where Bing Crosby buys an inn [...]

Dear Annie,

This is the time of year when the days are gloomy, cold, wet and downright dismal. All the vitamin D in the world does not take the place of the sunshine I long for. I can’t stand it that radio stations are already playing Christmas music. I look at all short people with disgust. I [...]

Dear Annie,

My husband is a turkey! I don’t mean he’s a silly crazy wacky guy, he’s a REAL turkey! Last Thanksgiving my Uncle Joe gave me a turkling as a gift. I raised it and loved it and “Tom” and I became very attached. Now, Uncle Joe wants to “visit” Tom next week! He says he [...]
