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.

Cautious Friend

EasyBearsupplies_forUxxx@gmail.com to advisegi9@gmail.com

I met this fab chick at my friend’s BBQ last Monday watching football. I think she’s under the impression I’m a huge sports aficionado like the rest of my buds. The truth is, I hate all sports, but I’m afraid if I tell her she won’t give me the time of day.

What kind of MAN are you? Never use the word “Fab” or “Bud”. Now for the advise: Go read the sports page and get a little testosterone flowing through those veins.

Camera-Shy Friend

wingedbrainxxxx@gmail.com to advisegi9@gmail.com

Dear Mr. Snarfin,
My friend always takes his video camera with us wherever we go. He films everything we do and even interviews me. I don't like being on camera and I feel like his video-taping is invasive. Am I in the wrong here?


No. Sure, being on camera can be fun. I had a great time when I was on "Cops" but that's because I like the public forum. It's different with private individuals.

If being video-taped bugs you so much, do this, next time he asks for an interview, invite him to meet you somewhere dodgy like the dog pound or an ethnic hair salon but don't go.

When you never show up he'll understand immediately how his voyeuristic tendencies are ruining your friendship.

Space Case Friend

willywhiskersxx@aol.com to Advisegi9@gmail.com

Dear Mr. Snarfin,
I don't consider myself a "people person." I have never been able to make close personal friendships with humans. My best friends are all animals. I have four cats: Whiskers, Jemini, Milk Shake and Barney.

Sometimes I honestly don't know which of my cats is my best friend. They all have good qualities. Like for instance Milk Shake is a superb cuddler but Whiskers is a good listener. I don't want any of my cats to feel like I am being preferential.

How can I possibly decide which of my cats is my best friend when it varies so much all the time?



Yeah. You're weird.
