About Me

My photo
I am a licensed therapist with a thriving practice in Illinois. As a youth I didn't have any friends but as I got older I found ways to make people like me. Since then I have taken it upon myself to fix other peoples' friendship problems. I like to drive long distances in my car with no destination in mind, just until the gas runs out of my car. Afterwards, I will often abandon the car and walk home.

Star Trek Friend

Troubletribble6xxxxx@yahoo.com to advisegi9@gmail.com
So Richard, my friend and I have a query for you. He likes Star Trek The Next Generation whereas I like the old Star Trek. We can never agree on which one is better. Can you weigh in?

Definitely! I would say the first 3 movies were the best of the bunch: episodes 4,5,6. I wasn’t a big fan of the Phantom Menace or the Clone Wars.

Plus, since I am a huge Carrie Fisher aficionado I was disappointed to see she was left out of all the prequels.

Smoking Friend

visitmontrealxxx@gmail.com to advisegi9@gmail.com

I share an apartment with a good friend who happens to be a smoker. He stinks up the place and it bothers me. He knows this, but doesn't seem bothered in the slightest. What should I do about it? How do I tell him without sounding overbearing?

You’re not going to sound “overbearing,” you’re going to sound “annoying.” If you want to preserve the friendship try and relax, and maybe share one with him. It’s never too late to start.

Son Vs. Senior Friend

oceanfrontloverxx@aol.com to Advisegi9@gmail.com

Mr. Snarfin,
My father recently suffered a mild heart attack and it’s become difficult for him to get around. Now that I’m his Caretaker, I’m looking for a way to balance my active lifestyle with his.

I want my father to feel that I’m still thinking about him. How do I approach discussing this with him?


It’s called a television set. Move your couch in front of it, sit him down, and go about your day.
