Dear Eleanor:
                            I have a smartphone, and I love its convenience.
                            I check my email,  texts and voicemail  three  or
                            four times a day respond promptly.  But I do not
                            carry my phone with me  every  moment  of  the
                            day.

                            Some family members insist that the  polite  thing
                            to do is to return a text message  or voicemail  im-
                            mediately
.  They carry their phones with them and
                            constantly interrupt  whatever they are involved in
                            to answer the phone, send a text, etc.

                            For my birthday,  one relative gave me a little pouch
                            on a string so that I could wear my phone around my
                            wherever I went because she texted me one day early
                            in the afternoon  saying she wanted to drop by,  but  I
                            didn't see or respond to it until dinner time. Is making
                            oneself  available  every moment of the day and night
                            now required for good manners?
                                                                                    Not a Phone Addict
Dear Nada:
                          No, that's bad manners.

                          By  the  way,  it's "smart phone,"  "e-mail,"  and "voice
                          mail."  Nouveau text spelling also is bad manners.

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.)

Dear Eleanor:
                            My best friend and I are both male and 25.   We
                            have been friends since third grade.   We were a-
                            part for four years of college and two years after
                            because we worked in different states.  He's now
                            been transferred and lives and works a few miles
                            from where I do.  We  see  each  other  frequently
                            and often double date.

                            But he recently shared a secret after pledging me
                            to secrecy.  He's a cross-dresser.  He says he's not
                            gay, and I believe him.  He has pictures he had ta-
                            ken professionally in which he is completely fem-
                            inine and even beautiful.  He says he's been dress-
                            ing up since the age of 12.

                            Now he wants us to go out in public as  a  couple.
                            He's small and would easily pass, but I'm just not
                            into it.  And what would I tell my girl friend?  He
                            says if I won't, I'm not a true friend;  I say he isn't.
                            Is there a way to resolve this?

                                                                                 Tested in Tampa
Dear Testicles:
                            If he's not gay, you reckon he might be "trans"?

                            Hell, no, don't go!  What would you tell your girl
                            friend?

                            And if you're sworn  to  secrecy,  how  could  you

                            write me that letter?  Get a life.

Dear Eleanor:

                            who have to adjust their crotches  all  the  time.
                            Is there any way we can tell these men that this
                            is vulgar  and embarrassing,  and it's rude to do
                            in public? I'm tempted to caress my breasts with

Dear Eleanor:

                            I have been employed at a fine restaurant for
                            30 years. I love my job.

                            New owners bought it eight years ago.  One
                            owner  had an affair with an employee,  and
                            her  schedule and treatment  became  insane.
                            She didn't have to work as hard as the rest of
                            us, and treated everyone she worked with hor-
                            ribly; and nothing was done about it.  She and
                            her family suddenly moved out of state a short
                            while ago, and nothing was said about her again.

                            Recently we found out he's having an affair with
                            another worker, and the rest of the staff is discou-
                            raged and angry. Both of our bosses, husband and
                            wife, seem OK with these affairs and act like noth-
                            ing is wrong!  Morale is at an all-time low, and the
                            anger and frustration are at an all-time high.  I'm try-
                            ing to ride this out,  but  I'm  frustrated  and  want to
                            quit.  My heart is heavy  because  I  love  my job and
                            my customers.  Do you have any suggestions?

                                                                        Confounded in California

Dear Confound:
                                Yes.  Seduce one of the bosses.  Your choice.

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.)
