Dear Eleanor:
                            I am struggling with my neighbors, who have not
                            just one,  but  two  barking dogs.  They keep their
                            dogs in their back yard,  but  that  just  happens to
                            be adjacent to ours. The  barking  drones on some-
                            times for days,  from early morning  until long af-
                            ter  sunset.   Our master bedroom and our kitchen
                            and family room face the  neighbors’  back  yard.
                            It's  even  worse  outside.  These dogs bark at any
                            movement or noise,  which means that every time
                            I do yard work, they are sounding off.  They even
                            bark  when I shovel snow from the walk in winter.
                            It's making me miserable.

                            I have a dog,  too,  but he doesn’t bark all day long.
                            I have tried several things hoping to resolve this is-
                            sue without involving authorities.    I would like to
                            live in quiet harmony with my neighbors.  Help.

                                                                                 Reached My Limit
Dear Reached:
                           
Shoot the sons of bitches.  With a real gun.

      Remember, if you don't want to receive any more of this inane crap,
just hit your "Reply" button and type in the subject line, "GET THESE
TABLOID HEADLINES OUT OF MY LIFE AND FUCK OFF!"

      But remember also, you have to spell and punctuate the message
exactly as it appears above €“ without quotation marks, and without
that redundant "Re: " that appears in so many subject lines €“ or you
will keep getting this shit!  ("Cut and paste" won't work, either.  We
have a special filter to detect that.)

OK, Bubba, what is "plethory"?
"Plethora" is not only a profusion or overabundance of
something;  it means also a bodily condition character-
ized by an excess of blood and marked by turgescence
and a florid complexion.  And  "plethory"  is a mental
condition, criminally punishable in some jurisdictions,
in which the bearer purposely induces plethora.    – Ed.

school bus after she got off it in Bethesda, Maryland. . . . An off-du-
ty policeman trying to pick up a 12-year-old girl waiting on a school
bus in Euclid, Ohio, peed all over her, from head to toe, when she re-
fused (and he videoed it all on his cell phone). . . .The Trump admin-
stration forbade the Centers for Disease Control to use the following
words and phrases in its next budget request:  "vulnerable,"  "entitle-

Dear Eleanor:
                            My brother- and sister-in-law were trying to have a
                            baby by artificial insemination.  A few months into
                            their  difficult  pregnancy,  they were told the fetus
                            had life-threatening defects, and were asked if they
                            wanted   to  terminate  because  the  baby had little
                            chance to survive.  They chose to carry the baby to
                            natural birth.

                            A month or so before she was due, my sister-in-law
                            went  into  labor.   The baby lived only a few hours.
                            They had a funeral, a very sad event. A month later,
                            on their due date,  they  began  planning  a  birthday
                            party for their 10-year-old daughter,  and invited 30
                            or 40 people, young and old. They included my son
                            and  daughter-in-law,  who had been pregnant at the
                            same time and had given birth to a healthy baby, and
                            asked them not to bring their newborn.  Other babies
                            a year old or older were invited.

                           
How should we respond?   Leave our baby and daugh-
                            ter-in-law home, or refuse the invitation?  Was it prop-
                            per for my brother-in-law and his wife  to throw a par-
                            ty and uninvite a newborn the same age as their loss?

                                                                                                           Lost
Dear Lost in the Seas of Etiquette:

us?
Tell, pray:  What,  pray,  sir,  is a "Coggins"? . . . And what,

rape is defined in current law
as sex compelled by force or threat of force or if the victim is un-

already working on a bill to raise the age of consent  from  16  to

        This is the intersection of Carder Street,  on  the  left  (a southwest extension of
        Mohawk Street) and Oak Hill Road, on the right (formerly Mohawk Road) at a
        southern corner of Brownsville (for a mapperly view, go here and click the plus
        sign once on the graphic, and then once more to see how Carder Street becomes
        Mohawk Street as you go further into town).   It appears that
at least one or two
        of  those
living south and west of the intersection  in  Brownsville  believe  they
        should have the right of way  (the sign on Carder Street, on the left,  now  reads,
        graffitily,  "Don't  STOP").   But  Mohawk  Road  used  to have the right of way;
        the stop sign on the right is the new one.

          way,  as  the  warning  sign  saying  "STOP A-

Dear Eleanor:
                            I am engaged to the love of my life ("Tom"),  and
                            I dread making the guest list for our wedding.    I
                            don't want any of my cousins there.    The  young
                            ones are rude  and  obnoxious,  and the one who's
                            an adult I no longer talk to. I asked my mom what
                            to do. She said if we invite any kids, then we must
                            invite all of them.

                            We would like my fiancé's young nieces and neph-
                            ews to be in the wedding party.  Tom  said  he isn't
                            inviting anyone he doesn't want there.  A few fami-
                            ly  members  invited me to their weddings because
                            my  parents  were  invited,  but I don't feel  I  know
                            them well enough to invite them to mine,  although
                            one  couple  was kind enough to get us  an  engage-
                            ment present. I want to be nice but I don't want any
                            nonsense. Please help.
                                                                        Torn in the East
Dear Eastorn:
                            Just  make  it  "adults  only  (except  for  what's-his-
                            name)."

TABLOID HEADLINES OUT OF MY LIFE AND FUCK OFF!"

exactly as it appears above €“ without quotation marks, and without

   A University of Mississippi receiver pretended to urinate  like  a
   dog  in  celebration  of a touchdown with 4 seconds to go against
   Mississippi  State,  his team was penalized 15 yards for the extra
   point and the kicker missed, leaving Michigan State the victor at
   21-20. 
How did Michigan State get in this game?  Were they host
to the original dog pisser?
Thanks for the heads-up.  Mississippi State, not Michigan State.    – Ed.

Dear Eleanor:

                           
I have a pre-teen daughter, and for the last couple of
                            years we have read  Hanukkah  books  and lit a men-
                            orah,  always saying the prayers.  We are not Jewish,
                            but I want my daughter to be tolerant of all religions
                            and cultures.  Is this disrespectful to the Jewish com-
                            munity?
                                                               Love to All from Pennsylvania
Dear Hebe Wannabe:
                                          Yes,  actually. 
But it's not uncommon.  I
                                           know atheists who drink egg nog at "X"-
                                           mas,  and put up a fir tree  and pray that
                                           their in-laws will die on a cross.

HOW TO UNSUBSCRIBE:

      Remember, if you don't want to receive any more of this inane crap,
just hit your "Reply" button and type in the subject line, "GET THESE
TABLOID HEADLINES OUT OF MY LIFE AND FUCK OFF!"

      But remember also, you have to spell and punctuate the message
exactly as it appears above €“ without quotation marks, and without
that redundant "Re: " that appears in so many subject lines €“ or you
will keep getting this shit!  ("Cut and paste" won't work, either.  We
have a special filter to detect that.)

LETTERS to the EDITOR:
Fred Dean wrote Sun 11/24/19 @09:10 PST from Holly-
wood, California, re last week's quotation of the weak:
What is so weak about  "Now I know how the river
feels when it reaches the sea  and  finally  finds  the
place it was always meant to be"?  That sounds rath-
er clever to me,  even poetic.
We  agree.  The problem is,  that's where the river always
was. You might say that about a gallon or a drop of water
in the river, but not about the river itself.    – Editor

Borf 's weekly BONUS:
Taylor Swift won American Music Awards for performer of the year
and performer of the decade,  bringing her career total of  AMA's  to
29, passing Michael Jackson's 24. . . . T
he sole occupant of a car go-
ing backward in circles for an hour
in a cul-de-sac  in Port St. Lucie,
Florida, was discovered to be a Labrador retriever (there's video). . . .
Beavers were being brought to southern England to control flooding.
. . .  A 59-year-old woman was attacked and killed by feral hogs out-
side a house in Chambers County,  Texas. . . . Wind gusts at 35 m.p.-
h. threatened to bar big balloons from Macy's Thanksgiving Day pa-
rade in New York, N.Y.  (but they flew). . . . A bill in the Ohio legis-
lature would require doctors to "reimplant an ectopic pregnancy" in-
to a woman’s uterus  or face an "abortion murder" charge  (it's a sec-
ond  time  gynecologists have tried to tell the legislators the  idea  is
medically impossible – and did anyone suggest to the drafter that it
cannot be "re-implanted" in the uterus  if it was not implanted there
in the first place?).

The sports:
The Washington Redskins' rookie quarterback, Dwayne Haskins,
missed the last 2 seconds of their 19-16 victory over  the  Detroit
Lions as he was taking a "selfie" with a fan (he thought the game
was over). . . .
New York Jets cornerback Brian Poole, whose job
it is to grab footballs out of offensive receivers' hands, scored his
first touchdown in his 58-game career  in a 34-3 victory over the
Oakland Raiders;  but in a postgame celebration a  fan  took  his
trophy football out of his hands (he recovered it the next day). . . .
A University of Mississippi receiver pretended to urinate  like  a
dog
  in  celebration  of a touchdown with 4 seconds to go against
Mississippi  State,  his team was penalized 15 yards for the extra
point and the kicker missed, leaving Michigan State the victor at
21-20.

Dear Eleanor:
                            I'm a famous life coach to the real stars.  I teach mod-
                            eration in moderation.  The men don't know what the
                            little girls understand.   The cutest little guy in the ar-
                            ea stops by here every morning with cold beer.  How
                            can I say no?   I love cold beer in the morning.  It's a
                            great gateway.

                            How can I be a great life coach when I can't say no
                            to him?   Do I have a monkey on my back,  or am I
                            on the monkey's back?  Or am I the monkey, on his
                            back?
