Dear Eleanor:
                              I give a lot of positive compliments to  family, friends
Dear Renée:       and my girl friend.    I was once told by my girl friend
                            that I was great for her ego and self-esteem.    She has
Dear Stephen:   struggled with her confidence in the past  because  she
                            is very skinny.  Before we became a couple I constant-
                            ly complimented her  on  how  beautiful  she looks,  to
                            lift her spirits.  The problem  is  that I am more in love
                            with who she is internally (smart, funny, caring, loving
                            and supportive) and not particularly attracted to her ex-
                            ternally –  but she would never know that based on my
                            compliments. 
I  feel horrible  lying  to  her,  but I can't
                            fathom breaking her heart and self-esteem.
                                                                                                           Help.

Dear Helpless:
                              So,  you're a liar and she's ugly and helpless.  Sounds
                              like  a  good  relationship  to me.  Keep it up.  By the
                              time you're both old,  it might be the reverse.

                                                                                                    Eleanor

Dear Loveless:
                              If you truly loved her,  she would be beautiful inside
                              and out.  I suggest she find someone  worthy  of  her
                              love.   Let her go.
                                                                                                       Renée

Dear Hopeless:
                              WTF!??!  I seriously question your intention by even
                              sending me a letter.  If you really cared for her as you
                              say, you would see the true beauty and see beyond the
                              statement you made about physical appearance.  You-

                              're a fucking douche bag and you're lying to yourself!

                                                                                                          Steve

Dear Eleanor:
                               What can I say to people who idle their cars while
                               sitting in parking lots? We  don't  need  their pollu-
                               tion!   These idlers
generally are not happy when I
                               knock  on  their  windows.  What  firm  but  polite
                               words can I use?

Loved Wheatley's play on mow words and "the Ohio

Dear Eleanor:
                            I ended my first engagement after finding out
                            my 19-year-old sister had been  sleeping  with
                            my fiancé.  He and I had  just  graduated  from
                            college.  It  devastated  me.  When  confronted,
                            my sister lied and tried to act like a  little  inno-
                            cent angel.  She had been  "seduced."  But  sev-
                            eral of her friends gave me proof that my sister
                            had been gunning for my fiancé since  she  was
                            17.  Over three years' worth of texts,  my  sister
                            savaged my looks  and  talked about how my fi-
                            ancé could do so much  better  than  me.  When
                            she  heard  he would be joining me at the family
                            home she'd crow about getting out her sexy paja-
                            mas and better bikinis.


                            When I confronted her we ended up in a perma-
                            nent  estrangement  and  a  hard relationship be-
                            tween my parents and me.    That was years ago.
                            I am now engaged to a wonderful man  who  ad-
                            ores me.  In a gesture,  I invited my sister to the
                            wedding but did not include her in the wedding
                            party.  She took offense that I did not ask her to
                            be a bridesmaid.  She called me up and told me
                            it was time I acted like an adult and let bygones
                            be bygones.  She said she deserved to be brides-
                            maid since she’s my  only  sister.  I asked her if
                            she had a head injury because that was her only
                            excuse. She ruined my first engagement –  why
                            would I want her within 50 feet of my new one?
                            She got angry and did the entire song and dance
                            about being just a “kid" back then. I told her she
                            could attend or not  but that that was the end of
                            the discussion.   It would have been if my sister
                            didn’t go whining to our parents  and our exten-
                            ded family. Our parents are the only ones on her
                            side.

                            I have since  rescinded  the invitation to my sis-
                            ter.   My  fiancé  supports  me,  and so do many
                            members of my extended family.  I am worried
                            about my parents.  They are circling around my
                            sister and argue with me every chance they get.
                            I  am  pregnant.  We aren’t telling anyone,  but
                            sometimes  I  worry  that  if I don’t tell my par-
                            ents they might not come to my wedding.  Oth-
                            er times, I hope they won’t because it will be a
                            clear sign they chose my sister over me again.

Dear Eleanor:
                            I am a 19-year-old trans man.  I told my mother years ago,
                            and while she hasn't stopped me from transitioning,  she's
                            wholly unsupportive.     Despite telling her my new name
                            and pronouns,  she  refuses  to refer to me that way,  even
                            when we're alone. (I can’t tell the rest of my family;  they
                            would disown me.)

                            Every time I bring it up,  she gets quiet or changes the sub-
                            ject.  I love her and she loves me, but it breaks my heart to
                            see her ignore who I am, and I know she won't back me up
                            if the rest of my family finds out.  I feel hopeless. What do
                            I do to make her understand?
                                                                                        True Self in Georgia

Dear Transy:
                            So, who and what are you?  Is "trans man" a female who
                            thinks she's male  or a male who thinks he's female?   Do
                            you have a dick or a cunt?


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'll  keep
getting  this  shit!  ("Cut and paste"  won't  work,  either.  We have a spe-
cial filter to detect that.)
